Whats She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 303

Chapter 303

Chapter 303

Simon Quinn was a man of status and influence. Did he have zero boundaries? Sleeping in a married woman’s apartment-was that how a decent man behaved?

In the kitchen, Layla was equally shaken. Why on earth did Kaia have a man sleeping in her study? And to announce it so casually right in front of her husband? It was a blatant disregard for Finnian’s pride. Layla feared this marriage was truly speeding toward a cliff.

While Kaia played with Brynlee in the bedroom, the study door clicked open. Simon, refreshed after an hour’s sleep, walked out. He froze when he saw Finnian sitting on the sofa instead of Kaia.

Finnian’s gaze locked onto him. “Sleep well, Mr. Quinn?” he asked, his tone deceptively mild but dripping with venom.

Simon flushed. The underlying accusation was loud and clear.

Just then, Kaia stepped out of the bedroom, holding Brynlee’s hand. “You’re awake,” she said to Simon. “Come have some tea.”

Simon took a seat on one of the armchairs. Brynlee greeted him politely, “Mr. Quinn, why did you come alone? Where’s Anna?”

Simon smiled warmly. “Anna is staying with her mom abroad right now. She won’t be back until school starts.”

“Oh, right,” Brynlee sighed. “I miss her.” She looked up at Kaia. “Mommy, can you take me abroad to visit Anna when you have time?”

Kaia was momentarily surprised but smiled. “Sure, sweetheart. I’ll take you when I get some time off.”

Simon was equally surprised that she had agreed so easily.

Sitting nearby, sipping his tea, Finnian caught the subtext immediately. If Kaia took Brynlee to see Anna, Simon would inevitably be there. She was

essentially inviting him on a family vacation. And judging by the look on Simon’s face, he had caught the hint too.

“Yay! Daddy, are you coming too?” Brynlee asked, entirely oblivious to the adult tension suffocating the room. To her, a trip with both her parents was the greatest thing in the world.

Finnian stared at Kaia, his gaze dark and heavy, before turning to Simon and answering his daughter. “Of course. I’ll make sure I’m available.”

Chapter 303

Layla sérved lunch, and Kaia helped set the table while Finnian and Simon exchanged stiff pleasantries in the living room.

As Kaia walked out of the kitchen carrying a steaming bowl of soup, Simon immediately stood up and rushed over, taking it from her hands. “Careful, that’s hot,” he warned gently.

Kaia blinked.

Finnian froze.

Brynlee clapped her hands. “Thank you, Mr. Quinn! You’re such a good helper!”

Layla watched from the sidelines and shook her head. Finnian had serious competition. Any woman would appreciate a man who was considerate, lacked a suffocating ego, and actually helped out with the little things. Simon Quinn was attentive and reliable. Kaia didn’t stand a chance against that kind of charm.

Finnian, on the other hand, had never lifted a finger to help with household chores. The only people he had ever shown that level of care were Noelle and Brynlee. He had never once extended such warmth to

Kaia.
