Chapter 43


    Chapter 43


    As Moira realized Alfie hadn’t given up yet, her expression hardened. She bit her lip and nced


    awkwardly at Bary “I guess I won’t be going home tonight.”


    Moira tightened her grip on her hands, fearing Bary might refuse her to stay.


    “it’s probably better if you stay over here anyway,” he said, turning off the TV.


    Bary set down the remote and looked at Moira, casually continuing, “I forgot to mention, we only


    have one bedroom in our house.”


    Moira fell into silence immediately. She pondered for a moment, thinking he was probably joking.


    Your house is so big, but has only one bedroom?” she asked tentatively.


    “It seems Eke you still don’t trust me,” Bary said, getting up and walking towards her.


    Moira watched him approach, startled. “Wh-What do you


    ou want!”


    “I’ll give you a tour,” Bary said, lifting Moira up again.


    She caught another whiff of his cologne. She wanted to refuse, but then again, she felt it wasn’t


    necessary. After all, he had already carried her many times before.


    Bary carried her upstairs. The rooms upstairs all had hidden doors, so Moira had no clue where


    the rooms were.


    Bary first took her to the study, then the gym, and finally to the bedroom at the end.


    The bedroom was huge, with not just a bed but also a small living area, a closet of about 200


    square feet, and a bathroom of about 100 square foot.


    Bary ced Moira on the bed and said, “The basement is the entertainment area, and below that


    is the wine cer.”


    Each functional area of the vi was very s pa c i o u s, After touring the rooms on the second floor,


    Moira felt it was quite normal to have only one bedroom. It seemed like each room was ced in


    the most suitable position.


    Bary didn’t disturb her thoughts; he just said, “I’m gonna take a shower,” and then headed into


    the bathroom. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    Moira sat alone on the bed, marveling at its size. Then she nced towards the bathroom and felt


    her face flush suddenly. “We’re not really married. We can’t sleep together!’ she thought. ‘Stay calm,


    don’t panic. This isn’t a big deal. When Baryes out, I’ll talk to him about it. He’s smart; he


    knows! only married him to spite Allie’


    To truly rid herself of Alfie, Moira felt she couldn’t divorce Bary just yet. On the contrary, their


    marriage needed to be upheld for as long as possible. ‘Well, I guess I’m a bit horrible. I am using


    Bary. But I have no other choice, she thought.


    While Moira was lost in thought, her phone suddenly lit up. She found a message from Juliet on


    WhatsApp. (Moira, I heard Alfie went to your house to bother you?


    Then, Juliet sent a video of Alfie calling Moira toe down from downstairs. Moira wasn’t s


    Moira replied: [He’s gone now,


    Juliet: Oh, that’s good.]


    Moira: [He’s now at Bary’s doorstep


    sure who took the video. After watching it, she felt annoyed.


    Juliet was extremely shocked, sending several question marks in a row, then followed by a long


    string of messages. What’s he doing there? Does he want to fight Mr. Covington? How do you know


    he’s there now?)


    Moira sighed and replied: [Because I’m at Bary’s house.]
