My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 3178

Chapter 3178

Deep down, Ellar knew that they couldn't keep their situation a secret much longer, but selfishly, he thought, 'if we can sustain it for one more day, then why not?'

He was aware that this was all a dream for him, and there would come a time to wake up, so he wished to dream a little longer.

Patricia looked at Ellar, her lips slightly bitten in hesitation, unsure of what to do.

Then came a knock at the door, and both of them turned to look.

"Ellar, Patricia." Doretta stood at the doorway, hesitating as if wanting to come in but appearing somewhat awkward.

"What is it?" Ellar internally clenched his teeth but maintained a neutral tone.

"It's about some work..." Doretta glanced toward Patricia, seeming a bit troubled.

Understanding the cue, Patricia looked at Ellar. "I'll step out then." "Then what we were discussing is settled," Ellar quickly added.

Patricia gave Ellar a look, but couldn't refuse in front of Doretta, so she left.

Ellar's lips curled slightly; he took that as Patricia agreeing.

"Ellar, what were you guys talking about?" Doretta asked with apparent curiosity.

Observing Doretta's seemingly innocent expression, as if she was just asking casually, Ellar's eyes narrowed slightly. He knew this innocence was just a fagade; the real Doretta wasn't like this.

"My mom invited Patricia over for dinner tonight," Ellar responded as if it was just a casual remark.
