Chapter 37
Moira couldn’t believe Alfio would still say such things at this point. ‘He still thinks sweet talk will fix everything between us, doesn’t he? she thought. ‘I remember how gentle he used to be, but it seems like he’s changed. I’ve noticed it for a while, but I just couldn’t accept it!
She lowered her gaze, looking at her phone, and dialed Barclay’s number. She felt so angry and disappointed right now, she just whted Barclay to come and take her away immediately.
After about five or six seconds, Barclay answered the phone. “Mrs. Covington?”
Hearing Barclay’s cool casual voice, Moira squeezed her phone even harder. “Hubby, I’m done with dinner. Can you come over to pick me up?”
“Hubby?” Barclay, who was leaning against the car, suddenly stood up. He undid the top button of his collar, feeling a bit hot, and then undid the second button, revealing his charming collarbones.
Barclay’s voice on the phone seemed to have a kind of magic, making Moira feel like he was right there in front of her. She could almost feel his breath as he spoke.
She softly replied, “Yeah,” and then glanced at Alfie. “It’s getting late. I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow. Come pick me up.”
“Alright. Barclay nodded.
Moira hung up the phone and gave Alfie a cold look. “If you want, you can wait with me until my husband comes to pick me up.” With that, Moira wheeled herself back into the villa.
Aiken hurried over. With Allie present, he couldn’t say much, so he just gestured to Thomas to quickly close the door. Thomas caught the signal and promptly went to shut the gate.
Allie stood at the door, his mind filled with the image of Moira calling Barclay “Hubby” on the phone
Once inside the villa, Aiken finally spoke up. “Moira, did you really call Barclay to come pick you up? Are you not staying here tonight?”
