Dominant Boss: Call Me Hubby, My Dear novel Chapter 19

"No? You guys are going to be husband and wife soon and you're not even angry that he's clubbing with other girls?"

"I mean I won't marry him," Jeanne said.

"But..."

"No buts." Jeanne did not want to dwell on the topic. She switched the topic and said, "By the way, why are you in a club? You're married. Shouldn't you be a good wife and be with your husband at this hour?"

"A good wife? The marriage between me and Finn is just on paper. We have our own lives, don't tell me to be a good lady. Besides, he's having more fun than me."

"What happened between you two?" Jeanne raised a brow.

Jeanne knew nothing about Monica's marriage.

"What?" Monica patronized her.

"I clearly remember when you were in college, you called me and told me you've fallen for someone at first sight. Finn ticked every box of your ideal man and you loved him with your heart. Everyone in Southampton knows you're the one who chases after him instead of the other way around!"

"I was naive back then."

"So, you just broke up with him?"

"Mhmm." Monica simply hummed a reply.

"So, what happened? Why did you break up with him?"

"There's nothing I can say about it," Monica stammered.

"Monica!"

"Come on! It's almost the same with you and Eden back then."

"You cheated on him?!" Jeanne blurted.

"Come on! What the hell, Jeanne?! Do I look like a horny slut to you?! Am I that cheap in your eyes?" Monica was agitated.

"Then why did you marry him in the end?" Jeanne asked.

"It's anything but love reignited."

"Monica..."

"Okay, stop it. Finn and I are just husband and wife on the paper. We're going to have a divorce sooner or later," Monica said but unwilling to reveal the details.

"I think Finn is quite okay. There must be some misunderstanding between you two..."

"You saw him a few times and you think he's quite okay?! Don't let that handsome face lie to you! I was deceived by his polite looks. I thought he was timid and loyal but he's a piece of sh*t! A prick! I'd rather fall in love with any other man in the world than loving him again!"

Jeanne wanted to console her friend but Monica lost the interest to continue. "Fine, if you don't want to come, I'll go have a drink myself."

"Try to control yourself, okay?"

"I'm not three. Go to sleep. Tell my godson I'll bring him to a theme park when I'm free."

The call then ended abruptly.

Jeanne stared at her darkened phone with deep thoughts.

It was her first meeting with Finn during the charity ball last night. However, a few years ago, she received a call from an unregistered number and it turned out to be the man.

During that call, Finn was quiet for a while before he said he got her phone number from Monica's phone. He even said that he did not want to call her or trouble her since she was abroad at that time.

Jeanne could tell from Finn's tone that the man went through a lot of struggles to have the resolution to call her. He should not be a man who preferred to trouble people with his personal matters.

"She's avoiding me. I don't know what to do, so I decided to call you. Can you please tell Monica that I'm waiting for her in front of her house? I really... love her."

Jeanne had no idea what happened back then. All she knew was that Finn was telling her with a sobbing tone, so she agreed to help.

She called Monica after that but Monica did not pick up. She tried calling for a whole day but it was still fruitless.

Due to the time difference, she decided to call Monica on the second day but before she could, she received another call from Finn again.

"Thank you but you don't have to call her anymore. And please don't tell her that I called you before."

It was just a night but his tone had changed drastically as if he regarded Monica as a stranger.
