How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 422

Chapter 422

Naylor's voice was barely more than a whisper, his eyes trembling with shock.

He never imagined Watts would openly admit he had feelings for Elodie.

He couldn't even fathom when Watts and Elodie had gotten so close. How had this happened?

Watts studied Naylor for a moment, a shadow flickering in his gaze before his brow furrowed. "What did you just say?"

Naylor took a steadying breath.

He'd known Watts for years their fathers were on good terms. They weren't exactly close themselves, but in a moment like this, Naylor felt he owed Watts the truth, no matter how brutal.

"Elodie is married, Watts! She has a husband. How could you fall for her? Hasn't she told you? Is she stringing you along?"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became. Naylor suddenly found Elodie's behavior downright unethical.

Watts's expression turned cold. It was a long time before he replied, "She's not stringing me along. She doesn't even know I like her. Don't blame her for this."

Watts was clearly surprised that Naylor had brought this up at all. After a moment's thought, he asked, "How do you know? Who's her husband?"
