CHAPTER 12


    "They were not just anyone, they were my buddies, Marcus." She responded, butter on, she


    understood that she didn''t have to exin. "So, if you were about to send me some flowers, you


    best not do it!" She jested as the flowers within the greenhouse were nicer than those at the flower


    store, and when it came to flower arranging, she was an expert.


    "I''m pleased that I don''t have a n to present you some flowers," Marcus lied since he had been


    thinking of taking her on a date, with a bouquet of flowers and choctes beforeing back to


    Hacienda Vsquez.


    "Good," she said but deep down, she was aching. Even though she had a greenhouse full of bright


    and gorgeous flowers, she would be pleased if he would offer her a bouquet. She went up to the


    line of yellow roses and cut a dozen of it. It''s the hue of sunshine, optimism and pleasure. It also


    symbolizes enthusiasm, optimism, enlightenment and loyalty. But yellow also denotes cowardice


    and deception. Exactly like her recent circumstances. She was a coward for being unable to tell him


    the truth, and she continued to fool herself into believing that she would be alright without him.


    "Is there a problem, Dani?" Marcus inquired as the woman fell quiet. As she put the flowers in a


    flower vase, her eyes were sorrowful, and he wished he could console her.


    "It''s insignificant, Marcus. "I was simply thinking about my father," she imed. "How is the


    annulment proceeding?" She trusted him to begin the processing immediately, knowing that she


    couldn''t remain in this state indefinitely and that the most effective defence was offensive. That is


    just what she did.


    "Do not be concerned, Dani. I got the paperwork yesterday, and as a result, I may need to ask you


    to sign itter." The forms had not beenpleted yet, but he may have to do so quicklyter. The


    woman was correct; the sooner the better, and it benefited them both.


    Danie gave a nod. "Just remember meter," she responded, avoiding eye contact with Marcus


    and concentrating on the floral arrangement.


    "What''s the rush, Dani, to cancel the marriage?" It irked his pride that the woman had lost interest in


    him.


    "This ismon, Marcus. We both recognize that the marriage was improper and was imposed on


    you. Don''t worry; I''ll be a nice mother to our kid, and I''ll asionally send you photographs of her."


    Danie congratted herself on her bravery and wisdom.


    "You''re correct. You have no sentiments for me, and I am simrly indifferent. It would be unjust if


    we continued to live as husband and wife despite ourck of love for one another." He agreed with


    her to save his dignity. To begin, he should not have liked her. He should have relied on his sense


    that the woman would only bring future problems!


    Danie felt as if her heart had been ripped into small bits when he proimed that he has no


    affections for her or anyone else. She anticipated it and was prepared. However, why was it still


    excruciatingly painful? Her hands were cold and trembling and lumps formed in her throat, which


    she struggled to swallow. She worked hard not to weep.


    "Is there any way to speed the process?" She inquired after gathering her emotions.


    "I''ll see to it, Dani." He despised her for continuing to discuss their annulment.


    "Hmmm, about your child, please refrain from sending me images until a paternity test has been


    established."


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    The audacity!


    She was unable to proceed with the floral arrangement due to her anger. Mugsy, the nickname she


    gave her unborn kid, and her unborn child would be better off without Marcus.


    "No issue," she falsely stated. She regrly lied to Marcus. It would never be her fault if the guy


    refused to embrace his role as Mugsy''s father, and she would never humiliate herself by pleading


    with him.


    When she consented to the paternity test, Marcus grinned. While he was the first to have her, it was


    insufficient to presume that he was the one who had her. "At the very least, we agree on a few


    points. Therefore, may I assist you with the flowers?" He inquired when he observed Danie had


    ceased her activity.


    "I am capable, Marcus. If you like to assist, please proceed outdoors and y with Sky." She


    congratted herself once more on learning the art of concealing her genuine emotions. She has


    ceased to be honest to herself as a result of Marcus, and has developed into a liar.


    "Sky?" Marcus had nothing against the Great Dane, but how could he ignore the fact that Danie


    used to treat her like a dog in Hong Kong? He could still see himself with a pet cone and a leash


    around his neck till today.


    She observed Marcus paused before responding, and she surmised that he might not want to y


    with her dog. "Ignore if you''re not in the mood to y with Sky," she remarked as she resumed the


    flower arrangement.


    "I''m about to leave...to y with your dog." Marcus responded and exited the greenhouse in search


    of the Great Dane.
