The Accidental Wife by Sara Islam

Chapter 188

I'm not sure if what I'm doing is right or not, but here she is, standing in front of me, looking at beautiful as ever in her burgundy dress. How am I supposed to resist her? How am I supposed to act like I can keep myself under control? I don't have the slightest bit of control

when it comes to her. I want to back her against a wall and remind her how we perfectly fit each other.

But I know Roşie well. If she didn't want to kiss me, she would have found a way out. She kissed me, though. And it wasn't a short kiss. It wasn't for pictures. She kissed me like she wanted te like she had been longing for my lips just like I had longing for hers. When she put on the ring, a sense of content and comfort washed over me. I'm well aware that she's not ready to go home with me, but I know that this can also be a step towards winning her back.

I have a strong feeling that Rosie isn't exactly certain about the whole divorce thing, which is a good sign, because this means that I still have a chance. I know that I broke her trust, but I'm willing to do anything to win her back.

"Do you happen to have a virgin mojito?" I ask the bartender, feeling thirsty. We are at the reception. The vibes are awesome, and everybody is having fun. It looks like my girl is having the time of her life with her best friend. back

I thank the bartender as I take my drink from him. When I turn around to walk away, I almost bump into Rosie. Her eyes travel to the drink I'm holding and the doubt that fills them doesn't escape my notice.

"It's a virgin mojito," I answer her wondering mind. "Try it." I hand her the glass, knowing that she likes it.

The moment she takes a sip from it, her eyes go wide. "This is not virgin mojito, Silas. It has alcohol," she tells me, making me look at her in confusion.

"Come with me," I calmly say and take her to the bartender, wanting to kill any sort of doubt she might have. "I asked for a virgin mojito, right?" I tell the bartender.

"Yes," he confirms

and his eyes go wide upon realizing that the drink contains alcohol. "You were about to ruin twenty-two days of sobriety for me!" I hiss before storming away. The only thing that prevents me from picking a fight with that moron is the fact that this is my best friend's wedding and the last thing I want to

I don't want her to think that I intended to fool her. I need her to believe that I never intended to lie to her. I'm trying to make amends with her,
