Chapter 136 This is My Husband, Carter Bolton

I was taken completely by surprise by the way he was looking at me. His gaze was direct, without hesitation, as if he was seeing straight through me. There was no hint of shock or embarrassment- nothing was hidden. "N-no, thank you," I managed to say, stammering slightly.

His stare felt oddly intense, almost too warm, and it made me uncomfortable enough to want to look

away,

"Take a break, then join me at Lustre Jewels later tonight, he said casually.

"Okay," I responded quickly before rushing to the bathroom. I washed my hands over and over, but the sensation of his touch lingered, as if his fingers were still there, sending a chill through my spine. What was going on with Carter?

I had always known him as a man who kept his emotions hidden, distant, and proper. The way he had acted just now seemed completely out of character. But the way he looked at me-it was intentional. I couldn't ignore that. My thoughts were interrupted when my phone rang, showing "Sadie" on the screen.

Sadic... Zoey's so-called sister, a mistress's daughter.

The mistress got pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl, right after Philippa did. She tried to induce premature labor, perhaps to give birth to a son first to secure her place, but sadly, the son was born too early and didn't survive due to his weak physique. er sister

Zoey, however, had been born healthy, and thus becarne the "younger

The mistress always blamed Philippa for the premature births, and that caused Bill to resent Philippa, thinking she was the cause of his son's death.

Men were all the same-Adam, Luke, and now Bill-pathetic, really.

A woman would cry, and instantly, they'd forget about their wives.

It was ridiculous.

I wasn't surprised that Sadie was calling, probably trying to provoke me.

When Zoey was younger, she tried to fight back, but her biased father punished her. Over time, she gave up trying to explain herself. She just let things slide and sank into depression.

Too bad for Sadie, though-she picked the wrong person to bully. I was someone who had clawed my way out of hell!

I answered calmly, keeping my voice even. "Sadie, what's going on?"

There was a pause on the other end. I could tell she wasn't expecting me to sound so composed. The original Zoey would have either ignored her or blocked her number, but here I was, speaking so coolly. 1/4
