What She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 331

"Mr. Sanders..." Simon Quinn immediately stood up. In that moment, he felt a twinge of guilt.

Even knowing that Kaia and Finnian's relationship was on the rocks and a divorce was looming, they were still legally married.

"Mr. Quinn, thank you for looking after my wife and daughter," Finnian Sanders said with polite but icy restraint.

Simon's handsome face flushed with embarrassment.

Kaia Chavez despised Finnian's passive-aggressive tone. "Simon, you should head back first," she interjected smoothly. "Safe travels."

Simon glanced at Kaia, nodded, and turned to Finnian. "Mr. Sanders, I'll take my leave."

As Simon brushed past Finnian's shoulder, Finnian's voice stopped him. "Mr. Quinn, I hope you understand boundaries. After all, constantly seeking opportunities to meet another man's wife is hardly ethical."

"Finnian..." Kaia's voice dropped into a warning tone.

A smile played on Finnian's lips, though it didn't reach his predatory gaze.

Simon halted. He looked Finnian dead in the eye. "I might need to reflect on my actions, but doesn't Mr. Sanders need to do the same?"

The smile froze on Finnian's face. He believed every decision he made was flawless; what was there to reflect on?

"You might want to make yourself clearer," Finnian demanded, his somber gaze bearing down on Simon with heavy pressure.

Simon wanted to snap back, but seeing the color drain from Kaia's face, he swallowed his words. "My apologies. I hope this hasn't caused any misunderstandings. Kaia and I are strictly friends."

"Thanks for the reminder. I'll keep my distance," she replied, completely exhausted by the argument.

Just then, the door swung open. Brynlee Sanders had woken from her nap and came looking for her mom. When she saw Finnian, she rubbed her eyes, thinking she was dreaming.

"Dad... are you really here?" Brynlee squealed, throwing herself into Finnian's arms and hugging him tight. "This is awesome! I was just about to call you!"

Finnian scooped his daughter up and glanced at Kaia. "My room is right next to yours. I'll take Brynlee over for a bit."

Seeing the pure joy radiating from her daughter's face, Kaia swallowed the bitter words on her tongue.

"Fine," she muttered, pushing open the door to her own room.
