Chapter 92

Early in the morning, in the master bedroom’s walk in closet

Megan was ironing Sullivan’s shirt and had picked out a suitable tie, knowing today was the big shareholder’s meeting at the Lowry Group. To make a statement, she even added a tie clip for a touch of sophistication.

Suddenly, she felt arms wrap around her slender frame.

Megan was a bit surprised, considering the spat they’d had the night before. She thought he’d give her the cold shoulder for at least a few days.

But Sullivan didn’t bring up the issue with the movie tickets.

Holding his wife’s delicate waist with one hand and examining the tie clip with the other, Sullivan said with a warm tone. “The house just doesn’t run the same without you, Megan.”

Megan responded with a light smile, “Well, I’m back now, aren’t I?”

No sooner had she spoken than Sullivan spun her around.

He pressed her against the glass of the display cabinet, lifting her slightly so she was half–seated on his left thigh… Her robe fell open as her husband began to caress her.

Megan couldn’t fathom his odd mood.
