Bary suddenly moved his face.

Before she realized what was happening, her lips softly pressed on something. She had kissed
Bary’s cheek.
It finished within one second, but it was enough to overwhelm Moira. She screamed inside, “What
I’ve done?‘ Her face and ears instantly turned red. Bary lowered his head to look at her and
asked, “Do you want to pick up your phone?”
Moira replied, “Certainly”
Bary’s expression did not change at all, as if nothing had happened.

Moira forced herself to ignore that her heart was racing, anxiously awaiting Bary to put her
down.
Unexpectedly, instead of releasing Moira, Bary crouched down while carrying Moira in his arms.
Bary seemed to have strong legs since he did not wobble a little when crouched down with Moira
in his arms.
When Moira was hesitating to reach out to get her phone, Bary urged, “What are you waiting
for? Grab it.”
“Oh, right!” Moira awkwardly responded and hurriedly reached out to pick up her phone.
Her phone had several backflips when it fell to the floor, but its screen was safe and sound because
her unwieldy phone case well protected it.
Moira unlocked her phone with her fingerprint, attempting to check if it was still working.
Unexpectedly, the chat page with Juliet popped up as soon as
she unlocked it.
It should not have bothered Moira if the that page was not showing her chat records about the 20
million dors.
Juliet (Why don’t you ask Mr. Covington topensate for your twenty–million–dor loss?]
Moira: [Girl, wake up from your dreams!]
Juliet: [You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take!]
Juliet: [It’s perfectly normal for a wife to ask her husband forpensation, right?] With that, she
sent a sneering emoji.
Moira quickly tucked her phone against her chest. She raised her head to look at Bary and found
that he was staring at her thoughtfully.
Moira wondered, ‘The front size of the texts is small. Bary can’t see them, can he?‘
Just as Moira had that thought, Bary asked, “Did you regret not taking the 20 million dors?”
Moira retorted, “Who doesn’t love money?” She moaned inside, ‘it was 20 million dors! Who
wouldn’t regret not taking them?”
Bary briefly replied, “Sure.” From then on, he carried Moira downstairs without uttering another
word.
Moira was slightly relieved, thinking, “Thank God, Bary doesn’t ask further. Otherwise, I’ll be
mortified. We are legally married, but we aren’t a real couple. Howe Bary is willing to
compensate me? It’s all Juliet’s fault How could she say stuff like that?‘
Moira felt embarrassed as they headed toward the dining hall. When Bary finally set her down at
the table, she caught Rose’s smiling eyes, which only turned her face redder. She cried inside, ‘Ms.
Graham, it’s not what you think!”

Rose looked like she could imagine what had happened between that couple, so she said, “Mrs.
Covington and Mrs. Covington, you have a strong bond.”
Moira squeezed a smile to respond, not knowing how to exin.
Rose knew what she should do in this situation. After cing the dishes on the table, she promptly
returned to the kitchen, as she was responsible for preparing both lunch and dinner.
Moira sensed the atmosphere bing increasingly awkward after Rose left. She lowered her
head, focusing on chewing a piece of fried chicken, pondering whether she should rify to Bary
that the conversation aboutpensation was merely a joke between her and her best friend.
She thought, “However, Bary seems not to care about it, if I bring it up, will he misunderstand me
and think I’m reminding him?”
As her mind wandered, the piece of chicken shifted in her mouth attentively, she bit down and
realized she had bitten her cheek.
