Whats She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 293

After giving herself to him, Kaia thought their relationship would naturally warm up. Every romance novel she had read claimed the honeymoon phase was sweet and inseparable. But Finnian was incredibly restrained. There was no honeymoon indulgence. He told her that intimacy required the right moo motion, so they couldn’t do it every day.

She had even witnessed his cautious, protective nature around her–a palpable anxiety that Noelle might get hurt.

Kaia pinched the bridge of her nose, letting out a self–deprecating laugh. It seemed that whenever Noelle needed him, he was always there.

The next morning, the door to the ward was gently pushed open, immediately jolting Kaia awake.

She looked toward the entrance to see Silas Sanders standing there, holding an insulated lunchbox. “Kaia.”

Silas walked in, glancing back into the hallway. “Assistant Dexter is

The three exchanged light conversation, Kaia patiently answering their questions.

Miles’s gaze lingered on her injured leg for a second before he finally asked, “Where’s Finnian? Why isn’t he here with you?”

The room instantly fell dead silent. Silas looked up, instinctively glancing

at Kaia.

Kaia, who was eating her oatmeal, paused her spoon. “I don’t know. I haven’t contacted him.”

Her answer caused Miles to furrow his brow deeply.

“No matter how busy he is, his wife is in the hospital. He should be here checking on you.”

Miles was usually gentle, but right now, he was genuinely furious. Finnian’s blatant disregard was sometimes downright abhorrent.

Silas didn’t disagree, merely letting out a dry chuckle. “Yeah. What kind of husband acts like this? It’s completely unacceptable.”
