A Wedding Night Gone Terribly Wrong novel Chapter 348

Huxley grew more aggressive by the second.

His tense voice practically vibrated through the screen.

Winifred tapped the speakerphone button and set the phone on her desk, moving away from it.

The audio amplified, echoing off the walls of the lab.

[As of tonight, Quinn has been gone for eighteen days. This little tantrum needs to end!]

[Remind her to think very carefully about whether my patience can survive eighteen days of this nonsense.]

[Tonight is my absolute deadline! If she doesn't come home tonight, she can stay gone forever.]

[Mhm,] Winifred replied coolly.

[Are you brushing me off, Winifred?!] Huxley snapped.

[No.]

[Tell Quinn she has one last chance tonight!] Huxley roared. [If she behaves, comes home, and apologizes, I'll pretend this never happened. We'll go back to normal.]

[Okay.]

[If I don't see her tonight, we are done. Permanently.]

*Smash—*

A heavy thud echoed through the speaker before the call abruptly disconnected.

He had clearly thrown his phone at the wall.

Winifred smirked.

"You find other people's toxic drama amusing, but when your own husband—the man you used to love to death—is standing right in front of you with a bleeding head, you treat me like I'm already a corpse. Amazing." Holden lightly touched the lump on his head.

He was brewing.

He needed to push her more...

*Ring—*

The phone went off again. Winifred answered instantly.

This time, her entire demeanor shifted. A bright, sweet smile spread across her face, and her tone became sickeningly soft.

[Hey, Quentin~]

Quentin Adams’s voice was even sweeter, dripping with affection.

[Hey, Winifred. I'll be there in fifteen minutes. Get ready, I'm coming to pick you up.]

[Okay, Quentin~]

[Mhm... Winifred?]

[Yeah?]

[Did you... think about me today?]
