Chapter 360 You’re Confining Her

The day of the wedding came. No matter how reluctant Mark was, he had to go through with it for Lyla’s sake. The wedding was held in a remote and clean church. There were hardly any people, and everyone present was friends and relatives of Mark and Delilah. They still had to make a show of it. Everyone was waiting for the wedding to begin. Delilah was having her makeup done in the dressing room. Wearing a beautiful white wedding dress, she looked at herself in the mirror. She was exceptionally beautiful, but unfortunately, the person beside her never spared her a glance. People said that the wedding dress was a representation of love and sanctity, but she was wearing it for an act, for the sake of the woman of the man she liked. Was that not a little ridiculous? Even though she thought so, she still did it. If people said that she was kind-hearted, or that she deserved it, she would admit it. Through the mirror, she looked at Mark standing behind her. He was dressed in formal clothes and looked incredibly dashing. He held his phone with his back to her, and even though she could not see his face, she could still feel his nervousness and worry. She was looking at him, but he was thinking about another woman. Delilah found it a little tragic, but this was her choice... Just as she was about to say something, the door was pushed open, and Hansel, Gretel, and Lingo came in together. “Daddy…” Hansel called. Mark turned around and frowned when he saw Hansel. “Are you really getting married?” Hansel asked. “Do you think I have a choice now? As long as it’s for your mommy, I’ll do anything!” Hansel could not say anything. “Has that person called?” Lingo asked from the side. Mark shook his head. “Not yet!” “Could that person be toying with you?” Lingo was doubtful. It was a possibility. At that moment, Mark looked at Delilah with deep and intense eyes. “Where’s Neil?” “Outside!” Mark nodded. At that moment, time was ticking. Every second and every minute was torment for Mark. The scene was set up. They were just waiting for that person to take the bait. However, that person seemed to have disappeared. There was no news at all. It was time for the wedding to start. The people outside had been sitting and waiting, but Mark’s side kept delaying their action. He was waiting and betting, waiting for that person to contact him. At that moment, the dressing room was silent. Delilah sat over there, not looking anxious at all. This wedding was just a show, so she did not have any expectations. However, when she looked at how worried Mark was, she still felt slightly unpleasant. A long time passed since the wedding was supposed to start, and the guests outside were already starting to whisper, but there was still no movement from Mark’s side. At that moment, the door of the dressing room was pushed open, and Ms. Davis entered. Seeing her, Mark’s heart was lifted instantly. He looked at her, as if wanting to find some clues on her body. Likewise, Ms. Davis also looked at Mark. Her slightly hateful eyes flickered, then her sight fell on Delilah and became much softer. “Ms. Collins, the time for the wedding has already started. Why haven’t you gone out?” Delilah looked at Mark through the mirror. At that moment, his eyes also happened to look over, and the two pairs of eyes locked. With just a look, she knew what he meant. She forced a smile. “I’m a little uncomfortable, so we’ll start after I rest a little.” “You’re uncomfortable? What’s the matter?” “It’s nothing. Maybe I’m just nervous!” Delilah made a casual excuse. However, those words would only work if Ms. Davis believed them. She looked at Delilah and then at Mark, and a trace of calculation flashed in those beautiful eyes. She nodded. “Alright, you rest for now. I’ll go out and appease the guests!” Delilah nodded, and Ms. Davis nodded and walked out. Mark’s line of sight kept following her as she walked out. Delilah said after seeing his gaze. “Ms. Davis has been with me since I was ten. It can’t be her!” Hearing this, Mark’s lips raised in disdain. “Is that so?” “I know her well. It’s impossible!” “Sometimes, what you think you understand is just what you see. If you look at it with your heart, you might find that it’s different.” Delilah could hear the hidden meaning in Mark’s words. “Are you suspecting her?” Before finding Lyla, Mark did not want to take any risks, because a casual sentence might cause something irreversible to befall Lyla. He glanced at Delilah and said, “I’m just saying it in general. You’re too good and believe people easily. I don’t just mean her, but also a lot of other people…” “Does that include you?” Delilah’s question followed quickly. Mark paused. A strange light flashed in his eyes before he nodded. “Yes…” Delilah felt uncomfortable and bitter, not knowing what she should say. At that moment, Mark’s phone rang. After seeing the number, his expression immediately tensed. Delilah saw and also guessed what was going on. “Hello…” Mark immediately answered the call. “Mark Pattinson, do you think you can see that woman if you drag it out like this? I’m telling you, the longer you delay, the less you can think about seeing her again!” “What about what you promised me?” “When the wedding is over, you’ll see her!” “Why should I believe you?” “Because right now, you have no choice!” “You—!” “Mark Pattinson, if you still want her to live, then do as I say. Otherwise, you’ll never see her for the rest of your life!” Then, the person hung up directly! Mark held the phone and called back, but the phone was already turned off! His expression looked extremely bad. At that moment, Delilah also came up and looked at him worriedly. “What happened?” Mark looked at her. His gaze was a little hesitant and guilty. “It seems that the plan must go on today!” Delilah understood his meaning and nodded. “Don’t worry, after everything is over, I’ll explain things to everyone!” That was not what Mark meant. He looked at her and frowned, but thinking about it, regardless of whether she explained it or not, the reality did not matter, so he let it go. “Let’s go!” He said. Delilah nodded and followed him out with a sullen face. …… The wedding started. Mark and Delilah walked in, carrying a tacit mutual understanding, under the eyes of their friends and family. Hansel, Gretel, and Lingo were all outside, waiting for the appearance of anyone suspicious. However, no one showed up. “I think we’re being played!” Lingo said. “It seems that way!” “Nevermind trying to catch a person. There’s not even a shadow!” Hansel sighed. “That person must definitely think that after Daddy marries her, it’ll be a fact on an ironclad board, and there’s no way to change it!” “In that case, isn’t your mommy in danger?” Lingo speculated. “Not yet. She should also think about it before acting!” Hansel said. Lingo nodded, hearing some sense. Looking at the wedding inside, she suddenly laughed. “Hey, you two, what do you think of watching your daddy marry another woman?” Hansel and Gretel rolled their eyes at her in unison. “She’s considered your stepmom now!” Lingo smiled as if she wanted to see the world in chaos. However, Hansel and Gretel did not feel much. It was like filming a drama. They were more worried about Lyla. How was she now? Just as they were thinking about it, it suddenly became lively inside. Everyone gathered inside. Hansel and Gretel also frowned and looked inside. “What’s going on?” “I don’t know. Let’s go see!!” Then the two went inside. At that moment, Mark rushed out with Delilah in his arms. He looked at J. “Get the car. We’re going to the hospital!” J nodded and immediately went to get the car. …… The examination was going on inside while many people waited outside. Soon, Mark came out. Ms. Davis immediately went up and asked, “How is she?” Mark looked at her and said, “She needs to be hospitalized for observation!” “What’s the situation? How did this happen?” “The test results won’t be available until two days later!” Ms. Davis’s brows were knitted in worry. “I’ll go in and have a look!” At that moment, Mark stopped her. “No!” “Why?” “She needs to rest now!” “I can’t even go in and see her?” “No!” “Give me a reason!” “She needs rest!” “Mark Pattinson, that’s not a reason. You’re confining her!” “That’s not a nice thing to say, Ms. Davis. I’m her husband and have the right to do this for her. I have the right to not let anyone disturb my wife!” Then, he said to the doctor by the side. “Doctor, I don’t want my wife to be affected, so don’t allow anyone except me to enter!” “Of course, Mr. Pattinson!” “You—” “J, get some people to come over and guard the door. If anyone tries to break in, you know what to do!” Mark commanded. J immediately nodded. “Yes!” Ms. Davis looked at Mark and frowned deeply. What was he trying to do? “Mark Pattinson, you—” Mark looked at her. “Ms. Davis, although you’re Delilah’s secretary, I hope that you can think of her health. I’ll take care of the company affairs for the time being. If there’s nothing else, you should go back and rest now!” “Does Ms. Collins know about this?” “She’s unconscious now. Do you think she knows?” “You can’t do that!” “I’m her husband, so I can!” Mark said word by word. Ms. Davis was actually speechless. She never thought that Mark would be shameless to this extent. Her fists clenched tightly and she glared angrily at her, but in the end, she loosened her fists and turned to walk away without another word. Looking at her back, the frown on Mark’s brows deepened. “Daddy, won’t you anger her if you do this?”
