“Best for us?” Hunter’s face twisted with obvious mockery. “You mean you want a quick divorce so you can be with Zac without delay?”
Earlier at the restaurant, Hunter had restrained himself from going over and punching Zac, all to save Mia some face.
“Fine, whatever you say. Are you done? If so, catch a cab back to the office,” Mia replied coolly. She had driven herself here, but after Hunter once complained that her car was uncomfortable, she had stopped offering him rides.
Hunter frowned. “A cab? Do you know how many people have sat in those? They’re filthy. No way I’m getting in one of those!”
Mia rolled her eyes internally. This man was impossible to please. Fine, she would wait with him.
Then, as if on cue, the driver arrived. Hunter pulled her toward the car.
“Home,” he ordered, as they got in.
Mia’s heart skipped a beat. Going home in the middle of the day?
He couldn’t actually be planning to finish what he had started back in the restroom, could he?
After three years of marriage, she knew all too well that Hunter had a strong appetite in that department. At the start of their marriage, he had kept her up nearly every night, with no end to his stamina.
It only tapered off after a while, but anytime they shared a bed, he still wanted her. In the past, when she still loved him and wasn’t pregnant, she had willingly gone along with his desires.
But now, with her mind set on divorce and a pregnancy to consider, there was no way she would let that happen again.
Yet, the stakes were high. If she didn’t keep him happy, her grandmother’s medication and care would be at risk.
“Hunter, I have a lot of work to do at the office this afternoon. I really can’t afford to miss it,” she said quickly, hoping he would let it slide.
Hunter looked at her, his expression unreadable. “Mia, you can’t tell that I’m angry?” he said flatly. “Jenna would’ve picked up on it by now. She’d know just what to say to calm me down.”
Mia rolled her eyes inwardly. Was he seriously bragging to her about Jenna’s attentiveness?
