The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 789

Of course it did.

The video had both of our faces and voices. The things I ranted about completely validated the timeline.

It was absolute, undeniable proof that I was the one who had left the hickey on his neck.

But I couldn't bring myself to answer him.

My face was burning so intensely I couldn't even speak. I could only hide my face in my hands, trying to conceal my overwhelming shame and panic.

I remembered getting drunk that night and chatting with some handsome stranger. But everything that happened after was a total blackout.

Never did I expect the "handsome stranger" to be my own husband.

Not only had I treated him like a piece of meat, but I had dragged him into bed.

I had acted exactly as I declared in the video—I thought I was cheating.

It was sheer luck that I had stumbled back to Eden Gardens, and it was sheer luck that the man beside me was Ferris. I didn't even want to imagine what would have happened if I hadn't gone home, or if someone else had been there...

I shuddered at the thought. Now, I felt like the cheater was me, not him.

"Wife, why aren't you saying anything?" Even though I was visibly mortified, Ferris refused to let it go.

Worse yet, he cupped my cheeks and smiled deviously. "Come on, use that little mouth..."

"Stop touching me!" Drowning in humiliation and flaring with defensive anger, I slapped his hands away and hid my face even deeper.

It was too much to accept. How could I have done something like that to him? And to make matters worse, I had completely wiped it from my memory and actively accused him of sleeping with Zoey.

"Alright, alright, I won't touch. My Little Rabbit's eyes are actually getting red." Ferris finally stopped interrogating me. Instead, he pulled me tightly against his chest, his tone dripping with sheer indulgence.
