312 Mistress

“When did you get married?”

Penny looked up at him, her mouth falling open. “What?”

“Penny” Hugo’s face darkened, “did you get married without telling us? Or without introducing your husband to us?”

“What? No!” Penny gasped. “I didn’t get married!”

“I dropped my phone in his car. I only got it back because he left it at the reception.”

“Oh…”

“Brother Hugo, that friend is really kind and considerate. He was probably just thinking of me and thought that you were bothering me. After all, it was already late.”
