Chapter 791

After hanging up the phone, Zoey stared blankly at the door in front of her.

She reached out to touch it gently, only for it to be swung open from the inside, revealing Murray.

“Zoey, why are you home so late?”

His voice was as soft as ever.

Zoey was at a loss with men. How could they act so irresponsibly and then still manage to keep up such a gentle facade?

She opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say.

However, Murray just pulled her inside and sat her down on the couch, saying, “Guess what I got you this time?”

Zoey was in no mood for guessing games. Then she saw him pull out a beautiful bracelet from a well–known brand, worth around $3,000.

In the past, Zoey would never splash out on something like that for herself, always scrimping and saving because of the mortgage.

Murray slipped the bracelet onto her wrist, his voice full of coaxing.

“I’m sorry for losing my temper this morning, but you have to understand that the pressure from work is really getting to me. Some of the clients are just a real pain in the ass, and it gets under my skin. I might have been a bit short with you. I’m sorry, baby.”
