Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire novel Chapter 103

It had been an hour since Adrian had dropped the bomb on Brian. Food was already served on their table, and everyone enjoyed their meal. Riley, however, still felt angry.

Adrian had massaged her, and Riley had drunk a few glasses of water. Still, she could not get over the fact that Brian ruined everything for a whore!

"I'm sorry, Adrian. I just don't get it," she finally expressed. "All that anger he had directed towards me over a woman who was a real trash? A fake and clearly fraudulent!"

"Riley, we are sorry about what happened to you and Brian, but when men cheat, they become brave and think they are right because of how they feel," Jean offered her opinion. "We have always thought that Brian was foolish to get involved with Claire."

"Brian's judgment had become clouded because of his so-called love for Claire," Mark expressed. "He did not see things right."

"On the bright side, you are happy with Adrian, right?" Jean asked.

Riley sucked in a deep breath. She looked at Adrian with a smile. She replied, "Of course." She glanced back at Jean and resumed, "You heard our story. I am happy to be reunited with the man who saved and secretly loved me for years."

She grabbed Adrian's hand and declared, "I love Adrian so much."

"Good," Jean said. "Because Brian doesn't deserve you. You are better off with Adrian."

"Thank you, Jean," Adrian said with appreciation as he pulled Riley into his embrace. "I am lucky to have Riley."

"It's just sad," Riley admitted. "What has become of Brian."

Looking at her husband, Riley asked, "Do you think Claire's child is not Brian's?"

"If Brian had smartened up now, he would take her to our hospital for a paternity test right away. We will see," Adrian answered.

"He is still in denial right now, but he will realize soon," Mark said. "It is frustrating though. We had warned him many times. He never listened to us and insisted that this was his chance to have a family. He was really smitten."

"Well. Haha." Krista laughed. "Too bad he married her."

When Krista spoke, everyone at their table turned to her. She did not have the common sense to leave yet, so despite the glares she received, she remained in her seat and ate her food.

"Mr. King, your father is calling," Clint suddenly said, showing his phone.

Adrian took the call, and Riley saw her husband nodding repeatedly. "I'll look into it. Yes, on Monday—What? Can you repeat that? Hold on, Dad."

"The signal is bad. Let me take this outside," Adrian asked permission and excused himself.

When Adrian left, Clint followed behind, and Riley was left alone with Mark, Jean, and Krista. After earliers' drama, no one else joined their table, for they were now the center of the gossip.

"Riley, forget Brian. Let's just talk about your new company. Tell me about Adley," Jean encouraged, and Riley appreciated that. At least, it diverted her thoughts to something more positive.

Minutes passed, and the two ladies became engrossed in discussing jewelry pieces. Mark also expressed his interest in the King's collection. Suddenly, Krista interrupted, "Riley, do you really love Adrian? Doesn't it bother you that he is disabled? I mean, you will end up taking care of him for the rest of his life?"

"He is very capable of taking care of himself, Krista. You don't have to worry about that," Riley said with a hint of irritation. "You should just worry about yourself."

Finally, Krista left their table. She ran away and made a phone call. Riley assumed Krista was working on getting her job back. However, knowing Adrian and his connections with the Bianchis, Krista was officially jobless.

"Wonderful, Mr. King," Jean remarked. "You are very effective. Krista was such a nuisance!"

"I will remember to be on your good side, Adrian King," Mark remarked.

"I'm glad you are wise, Mark, unlike your friend," Adrian complimented.

After putting Krista in her place, Riley and Adrian enjoyed the rest of the reunion. The couple still managed to make new acquaintances and introduced Adley to a few jewelry enthusiasts. So, even with a heart-wrenching exchange with Brian Martin, the night was still a big success.

Heartbeats later.

Returning home to their villa, Adrian bathed before Riley. She found this unusual because they had been showering together lately. However, when Riley exited the bathroom, she finally understood her husband's intentions.

Adrian lay flat on the bed, his limbs spread on the sheets like a lifeless man. Riley's brow raised, utterly bemused. She asked, "Honey? What are you doing?"

With a sly grin, Adrian looked up to her and answered, "What does it look like I'm doing? I'm ready to be your sex slave."

Riley's mouth fell open, and heat crawled up to her ears. She couldn't believe this man!
