Housewife Gone Wild by Thanddeus Embereley novel Chapter 121

Chapter 121

As soon as I got to the hotel’s temporary office, my phone buzzed.

I was in the middle of a conversation, so I didn’t check it right away. By the time I finished, over ten minutes had passed.

I picked up my phone and saw a message from Nathan. He sounded a bit jealous, asking: [When did you and Mr. Holcomb get so close?]

I froze for a second. ‘Nathan’s tone is really weird,‘ I thought to myself. ‘Why does it sound like Nathan and I are the couple here, and Jared’s the lover?‘

As a married woman, I had to stick to my principles. I couldn’t let Nathan get the wrong impression, like there was always a chance something could happen between us.

So, I replied: [Thanks for your concern, Mr. Hallman. Our relationship is neither good nor bad at the moment.]

Nathan replied almost instantly: [I thought you were mad at me and didn’t want to talk to me.]

I wasn’t really trying to ignore him; I just didn’t want to leave any evidence for Jared to blow things out of proportion.

“Is this the secret monologue of every cheater? Afraid of getting caught, but unable to resist the temptation?‘ I couldn’t help

but think.

I replied, [It’s just a normal chat. I’m not upset.]

Nathan didn’t message me again after that. Maybe he was busy, or maybe I was a bit too distant, and he took the hint.

At noon, Owen showed up. As Tracy’s cousin, he seemed pretty interested in me.

His squinty eyes kept glancing over me, sizing me up at least a dozen times. Finally, he grinned and asked, “Mrs. Holcomb, are you free for lunch? I know a place with some really good grilled fish. Want to try it together?”

I nodded. “Sure, I love fish.”

Owen instantly decided I was the type who didn’t have much of a guard up. He immediately called to book a private room.

Of course, I kept my guard up around Owen. Even though I was planning to divorce Jared, I couldn’t let him get any dirt on me; instead, I needed to collect evidence against him.

But to my surprise, the two of them were sitting openly by the window, sipping red wine, eating grilled fish, and chatting away. Jared was wearing a black shirt today, which made his skin look even more noble and refined.
