Chapter 73 Awkward Morning
Ava’s face turned red right away. “Who is thinking that? Stop accusing me of things!”

Ava muttered, “It’s not like I asked you to stay here.”
“Didn’t you say it very seriously yesterday that we’re your husbands and we have to be responsible for your safety?” Ryan shot words right back at her. “How did you forget so fast? As your husbands, how could we leave when you wouldn’t wake up?”
Ryan stressed the word “husbands” hard. Anyone could hear the resentment in his voice.
