My Invincible Husband Has Returned novel Chapter 244

"We've got to come up with a solid plan. There's no way we're letting Celena keep that smug look on her face!"

Celena and Wasyl exchanged a look, their faces dark with malice. Wasyl's mirthless chuckle cut through the tension, hinting he had something up his sleeve.

Cheryl leaned in, eager. "Wasyl, you've got a plan, don't you? Spill it!"

"Remember the Hughes family from Roselle City?" Wasyl's smirk was laced with slyness, almost as if he could already see Liam's downfall.

Cheryl went pale at the mention. "The Hughes... you mean that Hughes family?"

Wasyl nodded. "Liam ruined your engagement party with Patrick, and he even landed Hughes' eldest in the hospital. The Hughes have been quiet, but word is their heir's been itching for payback." Wasyl's expression soured as he spoke of Cheryl's past engagement.

She was his girl, and with their families eyeing a union, it stung to think she had once been set to marry another guy. Sure, they all played it calm with their modern ways, but deep down, Wasyl could not shake off a twinge of old-school jealousy.

Men can be so possessive, and Wasyl was no exception. He believed in double standards: he could have his fun, but heaven forbid his wife should do the same.

Cheryl could tell something was off with Wasyl. She quickly looked hurt and asked tentatively, "Does it bother you that I was once engaged to the Hughes family heir?"
