The Wife He Forgot to Marry novel Chapter 110

Jericho turned to Winona. "Ride with Nolan. There are a few more things I'd like to discuss with you."

"Of course," Winona agreed.

As a few colleagues surrounded Jericho, Winona fell behind the group. Suddenly, she spotted Yulen.

Tallulah, too, noticed him. She immediately brightened and walked over to him. For the past week, she had been using the excuse of feeling unwell to have Yulen pick her up from work every day.

Since Winona had been hospitalized, she was unaware of this new routine, but her colleagues knew that the relationship between Yulen and Tallulah was anything but simple.

Eloise teased, "Mr. Locke is so good to Tallulah. I’m so jealous! I wish I could find a boyfriend as wonderful as him."

Tallulah lowered her head, a sweet, satisfied smile on her face.

Yulen’s eyes found Winona, an explanation forming on his lips, but she turned away, pretending not to have heard a thing as she climbed into Nolan’s car.

Jericho, already seated, was oblivious to the commotion outside. Nolan, however, saw everything through the window. "Oh, Mr. Locke is here. I'll go say hello and invite him to dinner. The more, the merrier."

With that, he stepped out of the car.

Jericho remained inside, engaging Winona in a discussion about some technical details of their work.

When Yulen heard Jericho was there, he walked over with Nolan to greet him. He froze for a second when he saw Winona in the car. He had assumed that even if she’d gotten into Jericho’s lab, she would be a minor researcher at best. He never imagined she’d be on such familiar terms with the man himself.

Then again, she was probably just helping him with simple data entry.

Shaking off the thought, he smiled at Jericho. "Mr. Harper, would you prefer to ride in my car?"

"No, thank you," Jericho replied coolly. "I'm fine in Nolan's car."

Yulen's hand clenched into a fist under the table, his gaze locked on her.

Nolan, who was happily married himself, couldn't help but offer some advice. "Young people are often hot-headed. It's normal to argue; you just have to work through it."

Winona let out a small, sharp laugh. "And what if one person is having an emotional affair with someone else but refuses to admit it?"

Several of the women on the team, who had previously been standoffish with Winona, suddenly found themselves nodding in agreement.

"You can't forgive a man like that!"

"Exactly! Flirting with another woman is no different from cheating!"

As the table broke into heated criticism of cheating men, the looks on Yulen and Tallulah’s faces turned stiff and ugly.
