The Last Time I Loved Him (Autumn and Ryan) novel Chapter 3

Chapter 3 

When Emma came to clean, I noticed the glow of satisfaction radiating from her entire 

being. 

She smiled at me in greeting. 

nodded back with my usual smile.

The moment I turned away and closed the door, my heart sank to new depths. 

My husband was having an affair with our housekeeper. 

It had been going on for at least 

avear. 

And I’d been completely blind to it. 

After my hospital check–up, instead of going home, I went to Ryan’s office. 

Not to see him – but to visit the parking garage. 

Using the spare key, I opened his car and checked the dash cam. 

The playback screen was clean. 

Only this morning’s footage remained, not yet deleted. 

On his way to work, Ryan took a phone call. 

It was his college friend and secretary, Chris. 

“Mr. CEO, I’ve sent Emma’s monthly allowance.” 

“Good. Her power was out last night have someone check on that.” 

“Sure thing. By the way, she wants that pearl necklace you were going to give Autumn. 

Should I…?” 

Ryan’s voice turned cold. “Tell her she can have anything else, but not Autumn’s things. 

Chapter 3 

Give her that sapphire necklace we got at auction and transfer her an extra hundred grand 

– 

as compensation. And warn her if she’s going to play housekeeper, she needs to do it properly. No more slip–ups in front of Autumn.” 

Chris sighed. “Man, who puts their mistress in their house as the housekeeper?” 

Ryan was quiet for a moment before saying softly, “Autumn’s sick. She needs someone to 

look after her.”
