The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge novel Chapter 78

“Weekend plans? Anything important going on?”

McNeil couldn’t help himself—he asked, “Got a date with your Miss Fannie?”

Marcus grinned. “Yeah, we’re heading out for some lamb hotpot. You guys have fun.”

He hopped into his McLaren, engine roaring as he sped off.

On a whim, McNeil pulled out his phone and dialed Victoria’s number. He wasn’t sure why—maybe just curiosity, maybe something else.

It rang for ages before she finally picked up.

“Where are you?”

Victoria was surprised to get a call from McNeil in broad daylight, especially on a weekend. He had their daughter with him, so she couldn’t imagine what he wanted.

“I’m at home. What’s up?”

She hesitated for a second, but answered truthfully.

Simms Place was her home now, after all. The house belonged to the Turner family, so it wasn’t a lie.

McNeil could hear the clack of a keyboard in the background. He remembered catching her up late at the computer the other night and relaxed a little.

“No reason. Just checking in.”

He hung up and went back to find Violet and their daughter.

Victoria stared at her phone for a moment, then sighed and muttered, “He’s lost his mind.”

Not long after, her phone rang again.

She assumed it was McNeil and ignored it.

It wasn’t until the third call that she finally, annoyed, snatched up the phone.

He used to complain she called too much. Now that she’d given him his space, he was suddenly the one checking up on her.

The caller ID just showed an “M.” Victoria quickly answered.
