The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge novel Chapter 723

The implication was clear: he had gone to take care of his physiological needs.

Gwyneth offered no reply, simply climbing into bed and pulling the covers up to her chin.

Hawthorne settled onto the sofa, covered himself with the blanket, and turned his back to her.

For the rest of the night, neither of them said a word.

But in the middle of the night, Gwyneth kicked off her blanket, and Hawthorne got up to gently cover her again before returning to the sofa.

This happened several times, and Gwyneth was aware of it.

She opened her eyes once, saw him, and quickly shut them again, pretending to be asleep.

She fought to push aside any kindness he showed her.

No matter how well he treated her, it couldn't erase the fact that he was having an affair.

Before their marriage, she might not have had a say, but they were married now.

If it weren't for the patriarch, she would have already left him.

How could he soothe her with one hand while carefully setting up Patti Yale at his company with the other?

Was he trying to have his cake and eat it too?

The thought sent another wave of bitterness through her, extinguishing the flicker of warmth his actions had ignited.

She squeezed her eyes shut, determined to ignore him completely.

Meanwhile, with Hawthorne and Gwyneth back in Starfall City, Leonie was bored out of her mind.

Remembering her promise, she decided to visit the injured Connor in the hospital.

Since Gwyneth and Hawthorne's visit, Connor's friends had been relentlessly bad-mouthing Gwyneth as soon as they were alone with him.

They were convinced that Connor hadn't known she was married.
