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

Chapter 25

Evan turned to me, his tone humble and gentle.“I heard someone questioned your innocence; I spoke out of turn, without your permission. I hope I haven’t caused you any trouble.”

Suppressing my surprise, I replied, “…It’s my fault for causing you trouble, Mr. Jones.”

But his concern indicated nothing had happened; otherwise, even a pitiable beauty wouldn’t evoke his compassion if she were truly defiled.

Julian put his arm around me, asserting his
