Chapter 161 She'll Never Risc

How could I not know? I was practically one step away from filming the entire thing myself!

I even knew his timing down to the second.

I had already thought of an excuse to reply to him.

"You and Anna chose Chloe's wedding night to make your move. Clearly, you were going for maximum thrill. Let me guess-you did it in the bridal suite, on the new bed, didn't you?

My question rendered Luke speechless as that night was meant to stay a secret.

If it hadn't been for the timing of Anna's pregnancy, no one would've found out.

Luke's expression grew darker by the second, while I continued to jab him with my words.

"What's thore to be afraid of since you've done it already? A man having a few women outside is perfectly normal. I get it."

Seeing how indifferent I seemed, Luke glared at me coldly. "And what if it were your man?"

"T'd break his legs," I replied, my expression turning serious as I spoke firmly.

Back then, I'd been intent on catching Luke and Anna in the act. Before their wedding night, they hadn't actually crossed the line.

It wasn't until after my death that I personally witnessed it all.

Luke's betrayal ensured that I could never trust or love another man easily. I had even forgotten about my marriage to Carter in the spur of the moment.

Just then, Carter, who had been reading nearby, suddenly spoke up. My legs are already broken, so you can rest assured-I won't betray you."

His deep gaze lingered on me and his words left me blushing furiously. "Carter, I wasn't talking about you. I was just...

Just running my mouth.

For a moment, I forgot I was supposed to be a proper wife on the surface.

"Enough, Luke. Dwelling on the past is pointless. You and Anna are over. She's about to marry someone new, and you're set to marry another woman. What's done is done. Right now, the priority is choosing your marital home for when Ms. Hudson moves in." I deliberately reminded him that he and Anna would always be marked by their scandal. He could forget about acting like some romantic hero and using Chloe as a shield.

"Since you're in charge of the Boltons now, I'll follow your arrangements, Luke replied,

"That won't do. It's you and your future wife who will be living there, after all. Carter and I have narrowed it down for you-see if there's a place you like."
