Whats She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 304

Chapter 304

Compared to Simon, Finnian looked entirely useless.

“Daddy, stop spacing out! Come eat!” Brynlee ran over, grabbing Finnian’s arm and dragging him to the dining table..

As he sat down, Finnian looked at Simon with a mocking smirk. “Mr. Quinn is quite the domestic expert. I feel utterly inadequate.”

Kaia didn’t miss a beat. “You are inadequate.”

Finnian was struck speechless.

Her sharp tongue was a new development. The gentle, compliant Kaia he had known for seven years was gone, replaced by a woman who refused to back down.

Simon smiled diplomatically, trying to keep the peace. “I just helped out a lot at home growing up. It’s second nature.”

Finnian offered a tight, humorless smile.

Kaia urged Simon to eat more, while Layla quietly assessed the man. If Kaia actually divorced Finnian, would she marry him? Layla wanted the best for both Kaia and Finnian. Life was too short to waste on a broken marriage, and Kaia deserved a man who appreciated her.

Finnian found the food entirely tasteless. He usually loved Layla’s cooking, having eaten it since childhood, but today it tasted like ash.

Simon was internally stressed. He remembered his mother’s warning: he was not to interfere with Kaia’s life until her marriage was officially over. He hadn’t expected Finnian to show up today.

“Mr. Quinn, do you have a girlfriend?” Brynlee suddenly asked, shattering the quiet.

The tension in the room skyrocketed. Kaia quickly fed Brynlee a spoonful of soup. “Don’t pry into adult matters. Just eat.”

Brynlee pouted. “I’m not prying! Anna wants to know. She says she wants an aunt.”

Finnian’s lips curled into a cold srnirk as his gaze flicked to Kaia. Was she aiming to be Anna’s aunt now?

Simon cleared his throat awkwardly. “No, Brynlee. I don’t have a girlfriend. I’m single.”

“That makes sense,” Brynlee declared. “Anna said whenever you meet a pretty lady, you make her call you ‘Daddy’ so she goes away. Is that true?” Kaia wanted to cover her daughter’s mouth. A

Simon burst out laughing. “Yes. Sometimes it’s hard to reject people to their face, so I had to get creative. It works pretty well.”

Brynlee flashed a toothy grin. “You’re so smart, Mr. Quinn!” She turned to Kaia. “Mommy, if you meet a really handsome guy, I can call you ‘Sister’ or ‘Auntie’ so…”

Finnian coughed loudly, forcefully inserting himself into the conversation. Brynlee looked at him in concern. “Daddy, does your throat hurt? Are you getting sick?”

Finnian sighed internally. His daughter’s brilliance was always utilized at the worst possible moments.

“Brynlee, even if your mother meets a handsome man, she can’t flirt with him,” Finnian said pointedly.

“Why not? Oh, because she has you! And you’re super handsome!” Brynlee’s innocent logic instantly melted his frustration.

“Exactly. Your mother and I are married. And married people do not betray each other.” He emphasized the word ‘betray’ while staring at Simon.

Simon flushed slightly, looking uncomfortable.

Kaia met Finnian’s gaze without flinching. “True. People who betray their spouses deserve to be struck by lightning.”

Finnian’s expression went rigidly pale. He hadn’t expected such a vicious

curse.

“Some people are ruthless enough to curse themselves,” he shot back, placing a piece of meat into Brynlee’s bowl. “Don’t learn to talk like that, sweeth

er lunch, Simon didn’t linger. He politely excused himself.

aia walked him to the elevator, looking apologetic. “I’m sorry lunch was so tense. I’ll make it up to you another time.”

Simon’s eyes brightened. “I’d like that. Let me know when you’re free.”

“I will. Drive safe,” she said softly. As Simon listened to her words, a strange feeling welled up in his heart.

When Kaia turned back to her apartment, Finnian was leaning against the doorframe, clearly having heard every word.

As she walked past him, his voice dropped to a low, dangerous register. “I’m adding a condition to that agreement.”
