She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment

Chapter 1058

Chapter 1058: He’s Still Alive?!

Solo felt as if his mind had gone completely blank, and he felt a little unsteady on his feet.

He turned away in shock, not quite sure who or where he should be looking, or what he should do at this moment.

After a brief silence, Nora asked, “What’s your son’s name?” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

The lady answered, “Oh, my son? He’s a really tall and handsome chap! His name is Marcus, and he’s a police officer. Do you guys know each other?”

Marcus?

!!

Though Nora was puzzled, she did find the name somewhat familiar.

In contrast, it was Solo who suddenly understood what was going on. He stared at the lady in front of him in disbelief and then suddenly took a step back, his face turning even paler than before.

Nora, who detected his unusual reaction, looked at the lady again and asked, “Ma’am, has your son been staying here all along?”

“Yeah!” The lady smiled and said, “Shh, keep it down, my son is asleep. If you’re looking for my daughter-in-law, how about I give her a phone call for you?”

Nora nodded.

The lady then closed the door.

Nora looked at Solo, who explained, “Marcus… He is Brenda’s comrade who died protecting her back then, but isn’t he dead?”

Nora’s eyes narrowed at Solo’s words.

No wonder she had found his name so familiar just now. She’d heard about Brenda’s past where Solo had, due to a freak combination of factors, accidentally caused Marcus to die while saving Brenda.

This was also why it had been impossible between Solo and Brenda back then.

Later, Solo had made countless attempts to redeem himself, which ultimately made Brenda relent and change her mind. The pair had been about to get engaged when Brenda suddenly started to reject him again and insisted on breaking off the engagement…

So, had all that been because of Marcus’ return?

Nora looked at the villa again. Suddenly, the voice of the middle-aged lady from earlier reached their ears. “Oh, you’re awake, son?”

“Yeah. Who’s outside, Mom?” The other party’s voice belonged to a man.

“I don’t know, just a few passers-by. They are probably your wife’s friends. By the way, when are the two of you going to have kids? I can’t wait to have grandkids!”

“Well… it’s no hurry! Aren’t we already trying our best?”

“…”

The rest of the conversation was too soft to be audible; it was likely that they had gone into another room.

Solo turned even paler. For a moment, he didn’t know whether he should feel guilty or scared.

Was it possible for the dead to come back to life?

Or… had Marcus been alive all along?

But Marcus had died in an explosion while trying to save Brenda, and his body had even been laid to rest. How could he possibly still be alive?

Nora and Justin exchanged a look.

Justin was currently tapping away on his cell phone. After a while, he passed the phone to her. During that short while, Justin had already hacked into the government network and was checking the information in the police system.

Marcus’ status was verified as deceased.

Solo was still lost in thought. Nora looked at him and said, “Rather than puzzling over it here, let’s just ask the person involved and find out what exactly is going on.”

Since they were unsure about the situation with the man inside the villa, they couldn’t possibly force their way in. Their only option now was to contact Brenda.

Nora called Brenda, who answered right away.

She sounded rather tired. “Hi, Nora. What’s up?”

Nora asked, “What on earth is going on with Marcus?”

Brenda fell silent.

Nora looked at the villa. “We’re outside the villa right now. If you don’t explain what’s going on, I can’t promise you that Solo won’t force his way in.”

The moment she said that, Brenda immediately panicked and said, “Don’t! I… I’ll come back right away… no, wait, let’s meet at the café at the entrance of the neighborhood instead.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up, Nora and Justin took the despondent Solo with them and went to the café.

As soon as they entered, they saw Brenda racing over in the car. She entered the café immediately after she parked.

Solo had already gotten up from his seat and was looking at her in shock. “What on earth is going on, Brenny? Is Marcus still alive?!”
