More Than A Favor

Chapter 28

I hadn’t intended to dwell on these thoughts, but Miles’s words seemed to flip a switch. Memories began to flood my mind.

“What did he do? Can you tell me?” Miles asked cautiously, breaking the silence.

If I didn’t explain now, they’d remain confused. Logan would think I was just being unreasonable, and Tessa and Ethan would continue to ask questions when I returned in a few days. The best way to handle this was to lay everything out now, so I wouldn’t have to repeat myself later.

“He cheated on me with another woman,” I said. Silence fell on the other end of the line.

I knew Miles probably didn’t believe me, so I added, “It was with his friend’s wife. Even your parents know about the rumors.”

Miles still didn’t respond. I chuckled softly. “You knew from the start, didn’t you?”

No secret stayed hidden forever. Since Logan and I hadn’t gone through with the marriage, his parents would have looked into it. And Logan wouldn’t have ignored Ethan’s questioning.

“Logan likes you so much. That’s impossible. There must be some misunderstanding,” Miles finally said.

First, Miles had said I loved Logan. Now, he insisted Logan loved me. It wasn’t surprising he thought that way. During the years he was around, Logan often called me his wife and wouldn’t let other men approach me. He even got annoyed when Miles and I became too close.

“People change, Miles…” I murmured as I heard footsteps outside the door. I looked up and saw a broad figure flash past the window.

Then, Chloe’s voice echoed in the courtyard. “Ashton, you’re back?”

It had to be the tenant whose room I wanted to switch to. Chloe’s question confirmed my guess as she asked him about switching rooms.
