Whats She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 461

Chapter 461

Chad nodded. Bringing this up made him inexplicably angry. “Finnian has really let Dr. Chavez down after everything she’s done for Aethelstan. Don’t tell me he took her good temper and easygoing nature for granted, deliberately ignoring her sacrifices?”

Julian’s mind was already a chaotic mess from listening to them. He stood up abruptly, his expression dark. “I don’t believe Noelle is the kind of person to hurt others. She definitely didn’t do it on purpose. She must have just been inexplicably dragged into this…”

“Julian, I think you’re so blinded by love you’ve lost your mind. The reason you never dared to confess your feelings before was because you were convinced Noelle was in love with Finnian, right?”

Julian was at a loss for words. He ran his hands through his hair in frustration. “Enough, I’m not listening to you guys anymore. I’m going to find Noelle and ask her myself.”

“Don’t let her deceive you again,” Chad said, his voice laced with concern.

“I’m not an idiot, and I’m not a three–year–old child. I can tell right from wrong. Who could possibly trick me?” With that, Julian turned, grabbed his jacket, and stormed out.

Quentin and Chad stared at each other in silence for a moment. “Didn’t we agree that whoever invited the other would pay?”

“Julian drank all the liquor by himself; he should be the one footing the bill,” Chad said with a laugh. “But whatever, I’ll pay. I guess I just like playing the nice guy.”

Quentin rolled his eyes at him. “I’ve noticed you’ve been bringing up Kaia a lot more frequently lately. You… don’t tell me you want to get involved in that mess too?”

Chad’s dark eyes flickered, and he smiled. “As if it would ever be my turn.

But, you know, if years down the line I haven’t found anyone suitable and Dr. Chavez is still single, I might just consider it.”

“Aren’t you afraid Finnian will–punch you too?”

“He wouldn’t be that petty. If he really divorces Dr. Chavez, he’ll definitely move on and won’t have any lingering feelings. He’s always been a freakishly rational guy,” Chad said, sounding overly confident.

Quentin thought about it for a second. “That’s true. Out of all of us, he’s the most rational, and he’s also the one who’s built the biggest empire.”

A hint of disappointment flickered across Chad’s face.

By the time Finnian returned to his villa, it was almost midnight.

A single lamp was lit in the living room, its warm, dim light washing over the staircase railing and the oil paintings, casting a quiet stillness over everything.

Martha, the housekeeper sent over from the main estate, walked out of her room with a cardigan draped over her shoulders.

“Mr. Sanders, you’re back? Would you like something to eat?” she asked as she approached him.

In the next second, she noticed that one side of Finnian’s face was swollen. “What happened to your face?” she asked with concern.

Finnian hung his coat in the entryway and bent down to change his shoes. “It’s nothing, just accidentally bumped into something. Don’t worry about me, go get some rest.”

Martha stood her ground, suggesting, “Why don’t I get you an ice pack fox that? Or I could boil a couple of eggs for you to roll over the swelling.”

“No need, I’ll just use an ice pack.” Finnian grabbed an ice pack from the freezer and headed upstairs.

Martha watched the staircase until his figure disappeared. Then, she

turned back to her room and immediately reported the incident to Josephine.

The older woman remained silent for a moment before replying, “Understood. Just take good care of him.”

In the guest bathroom, Finnian wrapped a towel around the ice pack and pressed it against his red, swollen cheek.

The freezing sensation seeped through his skin and deep into his bones, making him shiver.

The physical blow from Julian wasn’t what hurt the most. What really stung were the words he had thrown at him.

Even after he had explained himself, Julian still refused to believe him. Since when had his credibility sunk so low?
