She Flash-Married To His Rival novel Chapter 232

Barclay didn't crack a smile, the hint of amusement vanishing from his thin lips as he regarded her, his gaze so serious that Moira felt like she was in a boardroom negotiation.

Under his scrutiny for just five seconds, Moira caved and lifted her hand to place her phone on the table before him.

As Barclay reached for the phone, Moira hurriedly intercepted and held it back. "Mr. Covington, promise me you won't laugh after reading this."

Before she could finish, she felt a warmth on the back of her hand.

Startled, she glanced down to see Barclay's hand covering hers.

Blushing, she instinctively withdrew her hand.

"I won't laugh," Barclay glanced at her and stated flatly.

Barclay's silence would have been better, Moira thought, feeling even more awkward now.

But with the phone in Barclay's possession, she couldn't retrieve it. Instead, she reluctantly unlocked it and scrolled up to reveal her chat history with Cynthia.

"You'll understand once you read it," she said.

Barclay read quickly and finished her conversation with Cynthia in about ten seconds.

He returned the phone to her and paused to look at her face. "It's just a misunderstanding. Nothing foolish about it."

Relieved, Moira took her phone back. "My friend led me astray!"

Barclay nodded, seemingly unconcerned.

Rose interrupted and reminded them it was time for dinner.

Moira glanced at Barclay. "It's dinner, Mr. Covington."

And that was that.

Later that evening, Moira recounted the incident to Juliet, who responded with several laughing emojis.

Moira: [Stop laughing. You're the one who misled me!]
