Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival by Jobet GraySon

Chapter Forty Two

Third Person POV.

Angela settled herself on the plush couch in Richard’s living room, her mind still reeling from their

slightly awkward exchange at the doorstep. Her eyes scanned the room, taking in the familiar

surroundings.

The air felt heavy with unresolved tension, and the silence between them was suffocating. Richard

stood in front of her, his expression unimpressed and aloof.

your wife will see me here and misunderstand? Or are you upset with me about something?”

Richard’s eyes met hers, a look of disbelief and annoyance on his face. “Does it make sense for you

to be here at 8 pm, in my place where I live with my wife? Do you think it’s appropriate?” he

retorted.

Angela sneered at him, her irritation evident. “If you’re so concerned about being a good husband,”

she shot back. “you shouldn’t have let me inside in the first place.”
