Chapter 152: He Choose Wisely

Standing by the door, Tony waved at Marcella. Marcella looked at the door sensing his movement.

"What?" she raised her brows.

"Coat... My coat..." he mouthed.

Marcella gestured for him to leave. Covering her face, she chuckled. Everyone was looking at her weirdly but she didn’t care. What can she do? Her husband who only knew how to act maturely in her presence could act like this too. She enjoyed it.

She couldn’t peel her eyes off the door. She leaned her head on the big Corinthian column while she waited. She thought that Tony must have left something important in his coat and he went to bring it with him.

Thinking of him, her heart pounded. He was not someone who would be this careless. She didn’t think that her little act would make him fumble this much. All she did was buy him a gift and booked for dinner in a nice restaurant. She didn’t think it would touch him that much.

Tony returned after a couple of minutes. He didn’t have anything in his hand and Marcella wondered why he went out. She was not left in her thoughts for long as the appetizers arrived just as he returned.

Marcella was hungry and started eating. She was not very hungry when she ordered and of course, she ended up eating from Tony’s plate. Tony stared at her and his plate.

"What?" she asked as he kept on staring at her. It was hard for her to reach for his plate and she picked up his plate and started eating. "How did you know to order this dish? It’s so delicious..." she devoured his plate.

"Are you comfortable now?" Tony asked with his fork hanging low from his finger.

"Yeah," Marcella nodded with a bright smile. She didn’t know why he sounded dry though.

"Should I order anything more for you? Dessert?" he asked.

"No," Marcella shrugged. "I think I am full with this appetizer itself. I don’t even know why I ordered the pasta. I can’t eat dessert. You should order for yourself," she smiled. She felt full.

Tony pressed his lips. Seeing her chomping down the pasta, he smiled. This was not the first time she suddenly got hungry after the food arrived. He didn’t know she had this quirk. He ordered dessert for her too. He didn’t mind sharing his food with her but he was told highly of the desserts in this restaurant. He wanted to have a taste.

"Yay! You ordered me a cake? Red velvet—my favorite!"

Marcella did a little clap as she got her dessert plate.

"Is that chocolate cake?" Her eyes ended up on Tony’s plate.

"You want to have a~"

Before Tony even finished, Marcella stuck her dessert fork in his cake.

Tony let out a chuckle.

What a cute woman!

"What? Here... You can have mine..." Marcella exchanged the plates. "You always choose the best, Tony. I should let you order for me from now on."

Tony started at the half-eaten red velvet cake. At least he got half a cake tonight! It’s a good night!

And she was right. He could choose the best. That was the reason he chose her. She never disappoints.

"You are staring," Marcella told Tony as she wiped her mouth.

Tony chuckled. "You are so adorable, Birdie..." He reached his hand across the table.

Marcella held his hand. "You are handsome, husband," she puckered her lips and sent him an air kiss.

Tony placed his hand on his chest and leaned backward as if he was attacked by a strong gust of wind.

Marcella bowed her head and smiled. His exaggerated action had attracted the people around but he seemed to be not caring about it. She didn’t care much either. They are not disturbing anyone willingly. What could she do if everyone wanted to stare at them?

"Before I forget..." Tony put his hand inside his trouser pocket but suddenly he turned to the side as if he recognized someone.

Marcella couldn’t see who that was as the pillar obscured her view.

"Mr. Crawford! I didn’t expect you here!"

It was a woman’s voice and Marcella recognized her voice. Her lips curved up hearing her friend.

The tinge of playfulness on Tony’s face disappeared and was replaced with a somber expression.

Beth Jane tried to hug Tony but turned to the side to face Marcella. "Mars! You’re here too!"

Marcella didn’t notice the smile breaking on Beth’s face for a moment before she plastered on her usual smile.

"Of course, I am here. It’s Valentine’s Day! My husband treated me to this dinner." Marcella winked. "What are you doing here?"

"Can’t I celebrate Valentine’s Day?" Beth glared at Marcella with feigned anger.

"I’m sorry!" Marcella smiled cutely. "You know what I meant. I thought you would be busy with your shoot."

"I am. But then I was asked for dinner and I couldn’t refuse," Beth smiled widely.

Beth’s eyes ended up on Tony and Tony cleared his throat and stood up. "We are finished. We were about to leave..." He looked to the side and his expression turned plain.

"Tony...!" Marcella looked at him with her eyes wide. "It’s been a while since I saw Beth. Can I talk to her for some time?" Marcella asked with a pleading tone.

"She cannot make her date wait, can she?" Tony raised his brows. "You talk on the phone all the time, don’t you?"

Tony then waved his hand at the waited to bring the receipt and paid. He didn’t even look at her and Marcella didn’t know what to do.

Marcella didn’t know why he was in a hurry to leave. She thought Tony was being rude to her friend. She looked at Beth with a pout. Beth too was looking at Tony. Marcella felt sorry for Beth.

"I’ll get our coat," Tony told Marcella and walked out.

"Beth," Marcella held her hand.

Beth looked at Marcella and she smiled. "It’s okay, Mars. We’ll talk on the phone later. Your husband looks angry."

"Oh, he’s not angry. Not at me," Marcella waved her hand.

"You’re sure? He stormed off leaving you..." Beth looked at the door.

Marcella giggled. "I know my Tony. He’s not mad at me."

Beth saw the smile on Marcella’s face. The smile on her face dropped altogether. She fisted her hands so hard, her fingernails dug into her palm.

"You look so in love, Mars... You have it all..."

Marcella turned to look at Beth as Tony’s back was lost in the crowd outside.

"Yeah," Marcella smiled. "I have Tony."

She said that from her heart and her face bloomed reflecting the happiness in her heart.
