Chapter 140: Love You So Much

Marcella saw the tall back in front of her and she smiled. She had a handsome shield. What’s there to blame?

Aiden rushed in and in the same force pushed Tony’s chest. "I had to cut short my date and come here! And what do I come to?" He shouted.

Marcella rolled her eyes.

"Why is Congressman Feinstein interfere in our business?" Aiden shouted as Tony said nothing to counter him.

"You remembered it’s your business just now, Mr. Spokesperson?" Marcella stepped forward and spoke with a scoff.

"You’re here too?" Aiden raised his brows.

Marcella could only sigh. If this was a proof of the attentiveness of people from the government, no wonder everything was the way it was.

"Tony, let’s go," Marcella held his hand. She didn’t want to stop and talk to Aiden and let others think that she had a good relationship with him. Also, Aiden’s surprise was waning and his lips curled with disgust. She wanted to leave before he said something to hurt her.

"You cannot let mafia dictate the rules!" Aiden shouted at Logan.

Marcella didn’t want to listen to him. Tony held her hand and she looked at him. She was surprised at his silence.

"I am going to propose to her," Aiden shouted from behind. "Cindy Thompson!" He shouted again as she didn’t look back.

Marcella saw no ripple on Tony’s face. It was as if he didn’t even hear Aiden. Marcella too didn’t know why Aiden found it necessary to announce them about his private affairs. He can propose to any woman he wants to. Why would they care?

She walked out and there were blinding lights in front of her—camera flashes. Only then she understood Tony’s silence. In her thoughts, she didn’t even notice the flashes but he must have had those photographers in mind.

Tony played the reporters. The reporters saw in plain view that the spokesperson of the Senator attacked the Chief of Staff of Congressman Feinstein when all the COS did was to help the people. That’s not going to be a good look for Aiden.

What a smart guy with a level head!

Marcella’s heart skipped a beat. Each day, she was falling for him more and more. The more she looks behind his charisma, the crazier her heart pounds. Who knew that his cunningness was what attracted her in the first place?

As they were about to get in the car, they brought Debby’s father to them. He was still not sober and was mumbling something under his breath. Marcella didn’t want to give up on him thinking he was incorrigible although he looked like he was.

She advised him for some time. She didn’t think he understood anything though. She talked to Debby and assured her that she would help her father in any way possible. She also promised Debby to help her in the future whether she wanted to study or needed a job. Debby was thankful.

Marcella went to Randy’s home to pick up little Joey but Rosy had already brought him to their home. Marcella advised Randy not to write anything about her. She just wanted to print pictures where she was in the background in the papers. She wanted the news to be the successful protest led by the women of Olive Groove.

On their way back, Marcella thought that Tony would happily praise her. But he was silent. He said nothing; he didn’t even look at her.

"Are you mad at me, Tony?" she asked unable to bear the silence.

He was still holding her hand, yet she was hurt when he avoided looking at her face.

"Tony...?" she asked again as he didn’t even spare a glance at her.

Marcella stayed silent for some time deciding to wait for him to come around. But even after a long time, he didn’t say one word to her.

"Tony..." she tried to get into his face. He turned his face.

With a pout she turned to look at the other side. But she couldn’t stay away for long. She wanted to know why he was mad at her.

"Did you cause a lot of trouble, Tony?" She gripped his hand. "I thought I could do anything...that you could handle anything..."

He still wasn’t looking at her. He was looking out through the window.

"Tony..."

She stood up in between the front seat and his knees.

"Tony... please...I’m sorry for the trouble I caused..." she tried to kneel in front of him.

"Stop it!" Tony turned to look at her. There was a deep furrow between his red eyes. Yeah, his eyes were red—cherry red.

"I do not like it if you kneel in front of me," he said and helped her to her seat.

"Tony..." she held his cheek. "What is it?"

He buried his cheek in her palm and looked at her. "You did bring me a big trouble..."

"I’m sor~"

He pressed his forefinger on her lips. "No, Birdie. Do not apologize. I..." he kissed her forehead.

Marcella leaned on his shoulder. She was momentarily scared if he would blame her for taking his promise way too far. She trusted his word and that was how she gained confidence to handle the situation that day. If he even had a little misgiving toward her actions that day, it would greatly affect her confidence.

She only saw concern on his face. Concern and fear.

"I knew I could handle that man. He was drunk and... I wouldn’t have taken a chance with my life, Tony. You should know that," she said.

She understood that he was worried that she took on a big guy alone. A lot could have gone wrong, she too knew that. But it didn’t. She calculated her risks and engaged only when she was more than seventy percent sure that she could win.

Tony patted her head. "When I heard you beat him up alone... I should have known, but I..." he kissed her head. "I love you so much, Birdie... So much..."

"I too, Tony..." she held his hand. "I should tell you this... I don’t regret it if my acts today caused a setback to your aspirations. I saved her, Tony... I saved that poor girl from that monster’s clutches. That’s enough for me..."

Tony chuckled. "I know this is how you feel... My sweet little Birdie... It’s in your genes."

Marcella smiled. Maybe she is her father’s daughter. She had his heart and she was proud of it. She just wanted to take a different path than her father to achieve her goals. He did his best with the hand he was dealt with. She too wanted to try her best. She had Tony with her and that was her biggest support.
