Infidelity: His Regret, My Revenge – A Twisted Love Story You Can't Ignore

Chapter 16

After dinner, I curled up on the sofa. I drafted the text a dozen times but still couldn’t hit send. What was Evan playing? He let Gary tell me his measurements but refused to give me his address? I couldn’t decipher his intentions, and I didn’t want to. Apart from this unresolved suit issue, we wouldn’t talk to each other again.

As for the bags and jewelry, I noticed the diamonds had lost their sparkle and the leather edges were worn out. Since I had time, I decided to get them all repaired and polished.*

My explanation was logical, and I was sure Julian would buy it.

As I expected, Julian found it odd but still believed me. I had been home a lot recently, and he recalled me tidying up every time he came home.
