Who Knew My Assigned Mechanic Husband Was a Big Shot? novel Chapter 166

Within moments, the connection went through.

Faith: [Hello, this is L. Lennox.]

Knowing this person was not only her savior but also the garrison's Major, Sloane felt a surge of profound respect: [Hello, I'm Sloane Sutton.]

Faith: [I am truly sorry. Because of me, you've been forced to deal with terrible rumors.]

Sloane: [I don't mind. It was an honor to help you.]

She figured no one was calling him gay anymore, at least.

There was no reply for a long time.

Sloane assumed the conversation was over.

She boiled some noodles in her dorm and was just about to eat when her phone chimed with a new notification.

She unlocked it to see a new message from 'Faith'.

[Dr. Sutton, rumors can be vicious and ruin your reputation. I've thought it over carefully. Why don't we just be together? Make the fake relationship real.]

Sloane was entirely speechless.

Thank God she hadn't started eating her noodles yet, or she would have choked to death.

She needed to confirm one thing first: [Major, are you serious? Is this really your account? Did Dustin send me the wrong contact?]

Faith: [It is me. Dustin didn't send the wrong contact.]

She glanced at the calendar on her phone to confirm it wasn't April Fool's Day.

Sloane: [Are you looking to get married, or do you just want a temporary companion?]

Faith: [Marriage, naturally.]

Sloane: [But I'm already married. And I heard from Director Lucas that you're married too. I have no intention of starting another marriage right now.]

Faith: [Do you mind my profession?]

Sloane instinctively shook her head in real life while typing: [I don't mind at all. On the contrary, I have the utmost respect for the military.]

Faith: [Really? Then may I be so bold as to ask what industry your husband works in? Director Lucas mentioned you left him because you couldn't handle his profession.]

Sloane thought of Logan.

She thought of his stacks of Middle Eastern currency, and his habit of vanishing without a trace for months at a time.
