She Flash-Married To His Rival novel Chapter 256

"Oh, um, yeah." She took a tumble and felt utterly foolish.

Moira blinked. "Need me to walk you out?"

Even though Moira had escorted Barclay out many times before, for some reason, she still felt a bit bashful.

"Yeah."

With time ticking away, Barclay agreed and headed for the door, with Moira quick to follow.

Jordan had been waiting for Barclay for quite a while now, starting to sweat with the worry.

Finally spotting Barclay emerge from the villa, he breathed a sigh of relief.

And when Jordan caught sight of Moira, suddenly everything clicked.

'Hey, Mr. Covington and Mrs. Covington sure have a strong bond,' he mused.

Moira halted at the doorstep of the villa. "Take care on your way."

She waved her hand gently.

Barclay nodded. "I'll be back in a couple of days."

"Alright."

He might have been putting on an act, but the way his eyes met hers always gave her this uncanny feeling that they truly were a married couple.

Being handsome really could be deceiving.

Moira watched Barclay climb into the car with a smile before turning to head back.

But just as she did, a sudden stabbing pain shot through her knee, causing her leg to buckle momentarily.

Thankfully, she reacted quickly this time, grabbing onto the nearby door for support, yet Barclay inside the car had already noticed.

"Stop the car," he ordered.

As Moira steadied herself, she heard the screech of brakes as the vehicle came to an abrupt halt.

She blinked, instinctively looking out the door.

To her surprise, the car, which had already started moving, was now reversing.

'Huh? Did he drop something? Why would he suddenly turn back?' she wondered.

As she puzzled over this, the rear door swung open, and Barclay stepped out of the car.

"What's wrong with your left leg?" he inquired.
