Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right

Marion splurged on the apartment, and the price was high because it wasn't just in any school district. It was around an elite school,

With those thoughts in mind, Randy shot a sharp glance at Marion in the rearview mirror.

"What were you saying?" Debra didn't catch it.

Marion chimed in, "He said it's fine, not too pricey."

Suddenly, the car made a sharp turn and stopped. The inertia threw her into a pair of broad arms, and then a steady voice sounded from above her.

"Randy, easy on the speed!"

"Got it!"

Inwardly, he grumbled, "Romance over bromance!'

The car stopped outside a high-end complex across from Arcane Academy. Marion handed an electronic card to Debra. "Your personal information is already recorded. Just swipe it to enter and exit. This complex is highly private. Most residents here are prominent figures, and you can expand your friend circle."

Debra glanced at the complex.

When she had decided to come to Arcane Academy, she had considered renting here.

To describe these homes as merely expensive would be an understatement. Living here required certain qualifications.

Marion had put a lot of effort into finding this place for her.

"Go in and see if you like how it's furnished," Marion said gently,

Debra entered the complex. Her apartment was on the thirteenth floor, offering the best view. As soon as she opened the door, a faint fragrance greeted her. The decor was high-end and minimalist, exactly her style.

Misinterpreting her silence, Randy said, "I knew Ms. Frazier wouldn't like it. No girl likes this kind of style, they prefer something more girly."

"No, I actually like it." Debra looked at Marion. "Thank you."

"Isn't it dull?"

"Not at all. I prefer it simple and quiet."

All daily necessities were stocked, including scented candles and a coffee machine.

Marion said, "A cleaning lady will come every week. You can just focus on studying."

"You've arranged everything for me. How about the rent?"

"Add it to your debt, Marion said simply.

Debra agreed, "Fair deal."

Randy, standing aside, couldn't believe his ears.

'Bro, what has gotten into your head? You're chasing her and charging her for the rent?' he groaned inwardly.

"Well, we have other matters to attend to. We'll leave you to it. Take your time to settle in," he said.

Randy was eager to lead Marion away and preach to him.

As the door closed with a click, Marion casually adjusted his cuffs.

"Dude, are you out of your mind asking for rent? Do you really need that money?" Randy questioned incredulously. "No wonder you've been single for 26 years!"

"It's a tactic," Marion replied. "She knows this place is pricey. If I gave it to her outright, she might not settle. And the more she owes me, the harder it is to clear the debt. That way, I get to see her more often." Randy was dumbfounded. "Wow, that's a clever move!" This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
