The Marriage She Turned into War novel Chapter 47

Joshua's words were a thinly veiled jab at Abigail. It obviously implied that there was something inappropriate between me and Blair.

My expression hardened, and I snapped, "Watch your words!"

However, Joshua feigned innocence. He shook his head as he clutched Abigail's hand and choked out, "Did I say something wrong to make Samuel upset, Abigail? Why is he suddenly angry at me? I don't know what I did…"

Joshua excelled at playing the victim. With his youthful, handsome looks and innocent demeanor, he was doing a masterful job of winning Abigail's sympathy.

Sure enough, I could see the concern in her eyes as she shielded him with her body. She glared at me, her expression cold and disapproving.

"Why are you taking your anger out on Joshua for no reason? He's just worried he will get in the way of your work. Was it necessary to snap at him like that?"

I was at a loss for words.

Taking out my anger on Joshua for no reason? Didn't she understand the implications behind his words?

Joshua had belittled me with his little act, and she was playing the fool and defending him. But no matter how much she defended Joshua, it was none of my business anymore.

Just then, Blair stepped out. She gazed gently at Abigail, but I noticed a flash of displeasure in her eyes when she looked at Joshua.

However, it was gone as quickly as it appeared.
