Chapter 37


    Moira couldn’t believe Alfio would still say such things at this point. ‘He still thinks sweet talk will fix


    everything between us, doesn’t he? she thought. ‘I remember how gentle he used to be, but it


    seems like he’s changed. I’ve noticed it for a while, but I just couldn’t ept it!


    She lowered her gaze, looking at her phone, and dialed Bary’s number. She felt so angry and


    disappointed right now, she just whted Bary toe and take her away immediately.


    After about five or six seconds, Bary answered the phone. “Mrs. Covington?”


    Hearing Bary’s cool casual voice, Moira squeezed her phone even harder. “Hubby, I’m done with


    dinner. Can youe over to pick me up?”


    “Hubby?” Bary, who was leaning against the car, suddenly stood up. He undid the top button of


    his cor, feeling a bit hot, and then undid the second button, revealing his charming corbones.


    Bary’s voice on the phone seemed to have a kind of magic, making Moira feel like he was right


    there in front of her. She could almost feel his breath as he spoke.


    She softly replied, “Yeah,” and then nced at Alfie. “It’s gettingte. I have a doctor’s appointment


    tomorrow. Come pick me up.”


    “Alright. Bary nodded.


    Moira hung up the phone and gave Alfie a cold look. “If you want, you can wait with me until my


    husbandes to pick me up.” With that, Moira wheeled herself back into the vi.


    Aiken hurried over. With Allie present, he couldn’t say much, so he just gestured to Thomas to


    quickly close the door. Thomas caught the signal and promptly went to shut the gate.


    Allie stood at the door, his mind filled with the image of Moira calling Bary “Hubby” on the phone


    Once inside the vi, Aiken finally spoke up. “Moira, did you really call Bary toe pick you up?


    Are you not staying here tonight?”


    Alfie’s words angered Moira, so she called Bary. “Dad, I was just lying to Alfie. When Bary


    comes, I’ll have him drive me around for a bit beforeing back, I’m not moving out tonight.”


    She’d known Alfie for so many years and understood him well. If she didn’t have Barye


    tonight, Alfie would likely stand outside their vi all night, which Moira didn’t care about, but she


    worried about neighbors seeing Alfie or someone taking pictures, spreading rumors.

    She felt that only by calling Bary would Allie leave quickly. Moira hoped that after today, Alfie


    would nevere to disturb her and her dad’s life again.


    Aiken understood Moira’s intentions too. He looked at Moira, now all grown up, and felt a pang of


    emotion. Moira might have been gentle, but she was never weak. She was always firm and


    decisive. His eyes welled up with tears. “No matter what, Moira, I believe you’ll make the right


    choice!
