Tangled Temptations

Chapter 147

Harvey's prediction was spot on. Gunner wanted a son, but he also cared about his reputation. He went to comfort Ravenna, and about an hour later, he was back

in the private room.

"Where's Veronica?"

The room was silent. This time, they were all on Veronica's side, feeling that Gunner had gone too far. He could even accept a woman like Ravenna.

Gunner sensed something was off from the looks on everyone's faces, and he blurted out, "Did Veronica leave?"

Harvey responded indifferently. "She left with Riley."

It was common knowledge that Riley was wooing Veronica. Now that Veronica was angry and alone with Riley, it was not hard to predict what would happen next.

Gunner turned pale, looking visibly upset. He started to frantically dial Veronica's number. Her phone was off. He cursed in frustration, then started calling Riley. This time, it went through.

Then the sounds of a man and woman making love came through the phone.

It was so suggestive. Just by listening, one could tell how heated things were.

Gunner gripped the phone tightly, "Riley, put Veronica on the phone."

Riley, panting heavily and sounding very pleased, handed the phone to Veronica, "Gunner's call."

Veronica, also panting, responded, "What's up, Gunner?"

The room was dead silent.
