Aiken was pleased with Bary’s words. Taking a sip of his coffee, he said, “For couples, trust is the
most important thing
Aiken said this because he genuinely believed in the statement, but also as a warning to Bary
not to doubt Moira easily.
Bary politely agreed with Aiken’s sentiment. After chatting for a while, Aiken excused himself and
went upstairs, leaving Moira and Bary alone in the living room.
Bary leisurely set down his coffee and turned to Maira beside him “Mrs. Covington, should we
head home?”
Upon hearing this, Moira felt somewhat embarrassed. “Sorry, Alfie was bothering me, so I called
you. Anyway, how about we go out for something to eat?” She finished speaking, biting her lip,
unable to meet Bary’s gaze, feeling guilty.
Moira felt she was being rude. She had called Bary toe and pick her up, but now that he
was here, she didn’t want to go home with him.
Bary was a smart man, and he understood what Moira’s words meant. He crossed his legs,
bringing his calf very close to Moira’s. His trousers brushed against Moira’s calf, making her feel a
little cool and ticklish.
“Mrs. Covington, what would you like to eat?”
Morra instinctively shifted her leg inward. “I know there’s a really good hot dog stand nearby. Do you
want to go there?”
Moira looked at Bary, dressed in his suit and shoes, and suddenly felt that the ce might not be
suitable for him: “Let’s go somewhere else. I know a nice restaurant at Opulence Haven, Shall we
go there?”
“Alright.” Baryzily raised his hand to adjust his cor, opening it up even wider.
Moira watched his beautiful fingers glide over his corbones, fooling a pang of thirst. She thought
he was incredibly sexy.
Realizing what she was thinking, Moira suddenly blushed. Catching a whiff of the subtle cologneThis content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
scent emanating from Bary, she quickly stood up. But she stood up too quickly, and her leg
suddenly cramped up, causing her to fall back down in pain.
As she began to fall, Bary caught her waist, slowing her descent and preventing her from injuring
her leg again.
“Are you okay?” Bary asked, his voice deep and concerned.
Moira took a shallow breath, instinctively lifting her head to look into Bary’s deep eyes.
In order to catch her, Bary leaned his body halfway towards her, narrowing the distance between
them to just a fist’s width. She could now clearly smell the cologne on him.
Their breaths intertwined. Moira felt her cheeks burning hot.
Embarrassed, she averted her gaze. “Thank you, Mr. Covington”
“Shouldn’t you be calling me Hubby?” Bary asked, teasingly.
Moira froze for a moment, then realized he was teasing her. “I called you that just to rile up Alfie.”
“I know,” he said, slipping his hand from around her waist and standing up. “Let’s go grab a bite,
Mrs. Covington.”
Bary reached out his hand to Moira, wanting to help her up. Moira hesitated for a second, then
ced her hand in his. “Thanks.”
She found Bary wasn’t as standoffish as rumors said.
Moira’s wheelchair was still downstairs. As she reached for the stair railing, thinking she’d take it
slow going down, Bary suddenly scooped her up. “Let me help you, Mrs. Covington.”

His arms were strong, and she felt especially small in his embrace. She kind of liked it.
Moira said thanks and nced at Bary’s rolling Adam’s apple. She swallowed hard. As Bary
carried her down the stairs, Moira really wanted to
touch his Adam’s apple.
There were about twenty steps in total. Bary breezed down them with her in his arms. It was
obvious he hit the gym regrly.
“You want the wheelchair?” Bary asked.
Moira snapped out of it, feeling a bit embarrassed as she nodded. “Yeah.”

Bary set her down in the wheelchair. He didn’t straighten up right away, keeping his hands on the
wheelchair handles. He stared into
Moira’s heart raced, but she tried to y it cool. “What’s up?”
“You wanna touch it?” Bary suddenly asked.
