Chapter 73

“With the party going on, no one would come here. Please give me the earring,” Sheridan demanded when they reached a summer hut. There was nob*dy there, and it was exceptionally quiet as everyone was enjoying the party indoors.

“If you just wanted the earring, then you wouldn’t have brought me here,” Alpha Nick analyzed before* asking, “How did you know that I had it?”

Sheridan felt cornered but did not relent. Her head was lifted high, and she looked dazzling. Alpha Nick did not take his eyes off her all this while. It was as if he would miss something of great importance if he did.

“The manager you called informed me. I’m already aware of your partnership, but can we keep our relationship professional?” Sheridan asked seriously, and Alpha Nick’s gaze dulled. He realized his mistakes too late and didn’t know how to reach out to her.

“Sheila, Sheridan. Who are you?” He asked in a pleading tone, Sheila’s head was still raised as she stretched her arms towards him…

“I’m Sheridan Warner, the Alpha King’s only daughter with seven elder brothers. And you are?” She pretended to not even know him, making him grossly upset.

“Cut the crap, Sheila. So you think I didn’t deserve to know?” Disappointment laced his voice as pain shone in his eyes. Sheridan didn’t feel like she owed him an explanation, and his painful look was merely a façade.

“I already told you. All this meant nothing to me. I gave it all up before, but sadly, I had to return to it. Do I have to remind you that we are divorced?” Alpha Nick understood what she was driving at, but the more she spoke, the more he felt like she was hiding something. Then again, he woke up n*ked with her earring. How could that coincidence be explained?

“How did your earring get into my hotel room?” He asked seriously, guilt flashed in Sheridan’s eyes but was soon gone.

“You tell me.”
