Marrying the Man in the Dark

Chapter 1178 Accidental Mishap

Damien sighed in defeat and stomped downstairs. Guess what he found? Colin and Mandy were locked in a heated confrontation, their voices rising in anger. The air crackled with tension, threatening to erupt into a full-blown brawl.

Colin's face looked like it was gonna explode. "There's no freakin' way I can explain this! Lennon already thinks I'm a walking red flag. He must have thought I was out screwing around when he heard you answer my phone! Now I'm screwed! Thanks a lot!"

"Dude, I told you it was a complete accident! Plus, you're single, right? So what's the big deal even if you did hook up with someone?" Mandy retorted, grabbing a pillow and practically strangling it. "He's just bitter because he can't get laid himself. Who does he think he is, your love dictator? That's messed up!"

Colin's face went from red to redder. "I'm not single! I'm married! Married to Lucy!" he practically yelled.

Mandy stopped dead in her tracks, jaw on the floor. "Wait. Did... did you already fall for Lucy?"

Colin's outburst was uncharacteristic, and Mandy couldn't help but piece together the puzzle.

Why else would Colin be so worked up about this matter? He wouldn't be so bothered and stressed about his marriage to Lucy if he didn't have feelings for her.
