The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 773

The marks that had decorated my neck in the past were definitely left by Ferris.

But Amber was dead wrong about the marks on his neck. Those weren't from me.

I had never left a hickey on Ferris's skin.

So who did those marks belong to?

No matter who it was, it wasn't me.

In that paralyzing moment, my entire foundation of trust began to crack.

Ferris had sworn to me that nothing happened between him and Zoey. He claimed they weren't dating, that there was no inappropriate tension, and that absolutely nothing had transpired.

And like a fool, I had believed him.

But was that really true? If he was innocent, where the hell did that hickey come from?

Amber was still chatting away obliviously. "Oh, by the way, Selena! You said you guys never had a wedding ceremony. Are you planning one now? When is it going to be?"

"Of course they'll have one. Director Sterling is totally smitten with Selena. There's no way he'd skip out on giving her a proper wedding, right?" The head nurse turned to me with a broad smile.

I forced the corners of my mouth up into a stiff, painful smile. "Yeah."

"So when is it? Selena, I've always had a dream of being your bridesmaid. When you and Director Sterling finally tie the knot, would you consider me?" Amber's eyes practically sparkled with desperate anticipation.

Ferris had never once mentioned hosting a wedding.

He didn't bring it up when we originally signed the papers, and even after we cleared the air and got back together, he still hadn't said a word about it.
