“Last time was just me trying to save my own skin, alright?” Reese sad, thinking, ‘Does he seriously think he’s my hubby?”
When Malcolm heard that, he figured it was time for a real heart–to–heart.
“So, you’re
saying you
were i
just using me?”
“Isn’t the Flynn family using me too? Its all about the benefits, right? As long as both sides get it, no need to spell it out.”
“What if I said I wanna make this real and turn you into my actual wire?”
a golden glow,
Malcolm’s eyes flickered, the faint smell of tobacco mixing with the oral scent from outside. The light gave him a go making him look softer. Still, he was as bold and dazzling as ever.
Reese had to admit Malcolm was a looker, especially y that face of his. He could turn heads wherever he went. But she had her own plans and didn’t want to waste her life on some guy.
“Not interested.” She shot him down without a second thought.
Malcolm’s ego took a
Was he not hot enough, or was his charm just not cutting it, that even a small–town girl would turn him down?
He looked genuinely hurt, his brows knitting together. “Why?”
“No reason, Marriage was never on my radar. It was just a fluke.”
So, for the rest of her life, she hadn’t planned on including any man in it.
But she underestimated a man’s pride. Malcolm had never been denied anything he wanted. Even with this project, everyone thought he couldn’t pull it off, but he was determined to prove them wrong.
Reese might not catch your eye at first, but the more he looked, the more he saw her unique charm. The key was, she had an intriguing soul, and he was into that.
It was like she had a ton of secrets just waiting for him to uncover, and that hooked him big time.
For now, Malcolm wasn’t about to let Reese slip away that easily.
He decided not to argue with her. Everything had its own timing-
Alright, bu
but you gotta keep your promise and help me fix my leg first. There are only a few days left until the deadline Grandpa gave you, so you need to hustle.”
Reese had always kept that in mind. She probably knew his conditio better than Malcolm himself.
She suddenly gave him a playful wink. “Maybe in a couple of days, you’ll be up on your feet.”
Malcolm doubted Reese had such mad skills. How could paralysis be something she could just wave away?
But he didn’t want to kill her
“Alright, I’ll leave it all to you.”

Chapter 37 Playing Each Other–1
Reese noticed Malcolm hadn’t mentioned the banquet at all, Was he really not worried about her showing up with a face full of
spots?
But considering he stood up for her in front of Everly today, she didn’t want to let him down.
As usual, Reese would help Malcolm with acupuncture before bed. Recently, they added a new treatment–medicinal baths, which involved him taking off his pants. It was a bit awkward at first, but after a few days, they got used to it. After all, to a doctor, patients have no gender. If it didn’t work, just think of him as a pet
But if Malcolm knew she thought of him as a pet, he might just loset.
Two days later, Reese was chilling at home when Justin brought her the dress. It was a stunning gown, gray–blue with dark tones, probably considering her skin tone.
Initially, she hid her looks to test Malcolm’s character. After spending time together, she found him decent enough.
The key was that walking around with a face full of freckles every day did invite some nasty comments.
But
it the dress was pretty sweet. She wasn’t into bright colors anyway they were too flashy. Low–key was more her style.

She headed downstairs to grab a hite and planned to wash off the freckles later. As soon as she hit the bottom step, she heard Alyssa snarking while holding a cup of coffee.
“I heard you plan to show up at tonight’s banquet?”
Reese raised an eyebrow, cool as a cucumber, Got a problem with th?”
Alyssa thought, “This u
ugly duckling is way too calm. She probably does I even realize how hideous she looks.
Her face twisted with disdain, like she was afraid Reese might miss
“I mean, have you even looked in a mirror, you freak? With that face, you dare to show up at someone else’s wedding anniversary party and make a fool of yourself?“.
Reese didn’t flinch, even tilted her chin up a bit to meet Alyssa’s glare. Her eyes were full of spirit, not a hint of insecurity.
“So what? It’s a wedding anniversary party, shouldn’t we couple go together? Or should you and your brother go instead??
Alyssa lifted her chin arrogantly. “Of course, I’m not into those events. Usually, Everly goes with Malcolm. Why should your ugly mug ruin that?”
“Because I’m his wife now. Is that reason enough?”
Reese’s confidence was through the roof, her aura even overshadowing Alyssa’s. Alyssa was usually the queen bee at home, but for some reason, she felt a step down in front of Reese.
For a moment, her brain short–circuited, and she didn’t know what to say.
But she wasn’t about to let Reese get the upper hand, so she started throwing a fit.
“Just because you’re his wife now doesn’t mean you’ll always be. It’s only because of the engagement between our families. But even after marriage, there’s divorce. Just wait, Malcolm will dump you sooner or later!”
Reese didn’t get mad at all. Instead, she smiled, her eyes curving. “Then let’s talk about it when Malcolm divorces me. At least for now, today, I’m still his wife.”
Alyssa looked her up and down with pure contempt, arms crossed, her gaze dripping with disdain.
“Have you even looked at your ugly face in the mirror? Do you know what kind of people will be there? Socialites, all of them way more beautiful than you. The Flynn family is one of the top dogs in Atlanta. Don’t drag them down. If you show up with Malcolm tonight, do you know what the headlines will be tomorrow?”
She waved her hand dramatically, acting it out. It’ll definitely be ‘Flynn family’s Mr. Flypar’s wife is hideous, lowering the family’s standards.
No matter how much Alyssa tried to rile her up, Reese stayed cool and collected.
“If the Flynn family judges ine by my looks, wouldn’t that also lower your standards? No, it family’s quality.”
Alyssa’s face turned beet red, her shoulders shaking with rage.
She pointed at Reese furiously, “You…”
should be you lowering the Flynn

“I’ll go if I want to. It’s none of your business. Not even Malcolm can stop me.”
Not only the Flynn family had the invite. Even without Malcolm, she could still get in.
Alyssa couldn’t get through to her. Reese was sharp–tongued, no matter what Alyssa said, Reese had a comeback ready, easily shutting her down.
Reese’s eyes earlier, she realized Reese wasn’t like other girls. Her brows carried
unshakable arrogance, full
When she looked into R
of confidence.
Damn it, where did she get the nerve to think she could attend such high–class event with that ugly face?
Since she couldn’t convince her, it didn’t matter, She’d just wait for Reese to embarrass the Flynn family and get thrown out by Grandpa. That was what she really wanted to see.
