Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption by Lilyheart

Chapter 116: Let him stew...

"What’s happening outside?" Vera asked.

At her question, Trevor’s gaze darkened, his hand pausing briefly before resuming its motion.

"Why do you care about what’s happening outside?" he asked after a brief pause.

As a special agent and guard, it was second nature for him to stay informed about ongoing events within and outside his locality, he has to stay up to trend noting the why and how things are —but not when he was the one orchestrating the chaos.

He had stepped out earlier to ensure Aaron had something to keep him occupied—especially after his relentless calls to Vera.

Knowing Aaron’s temper, if he didn’t intervene, Vera might return home only to face his wrath, and within minutes, she could become a dead woman.

Trevor had no intention of letting that happen. Instead, he wanted her to return home to a desperate Aaron—one drowning in his own storm, seeking her help to pull him out.

A series of notifications dinged on their phones. Vera stretched out her hand to pick up hers, while Trevor ignored his.

As she unlocked the screen and scanned through the messages, she let out a deep sigh. Trevor’s sharp gaze caught the subtle shift in her expression. She wasn’t surprised and She wasn’t angry. This left him curious and stumped.

Trevor studied her countenance, the quiet calmness sending a ripple of tension and skepticism through him. His jaw tightened instinctively.

"Trevor," Vera called him, her voice was clam and steady, her gaze piercing. "Seeing how calm you are, I believe you have a hand in this situation?" She queried.
