Facade of Love

Chapter 28 Shameless

Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, I really did not know what to say to her. I simply said bluntly, “The Youngs‘ old manor has a doctor and other people. Don’t worry, you won’t die.”

Upon hearing my voice, Moore paused before her tone changed from coquettish to furious. She shouted, “Yvette, who

who gave you permission to touch Iddy’s phone? Where’s Iddy?”

My eardrums were nearly ruptured by her yelling. I moved the phone slightly away from my ear, glanced at Idris who was still pretending to be asleep, and said into the phone, “You mean Idris? He just worked up a sweat and is taking a shower. Why don’t you call back later?”

“Yvette, you’re so shameless!” The person on the other end of the phone yelled without any regard. She was probably running on no sleep and in a foul mood.

Luckily, I had the foresight to hold the phone away from my ear. After she finished yelling, I chuckled and said, “Shameless? Moore, Idris and I are legally married. What’s so shameless about a married couple getting in some morning exercise? Compared to the incestuous drama between you and your brother–in–law, I think I’m pretty normal, no?”

I hung up before she could yell anymore. I looked at Idris, who had opened his eyes and was staring at me. Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, I said, “I didn’t mean to provoke her, but she started it.

You heard her. She called me shameless.”

“Morning exercise?” He suddenly spoke, casually uttering the two words. His handsome eyebrows lifted in a seemingly amused manner. “Yvette, should I take your words seriously?”
