The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 36

Theo kept a poker face. “Maybe it wasn’t necessary before, but during our marriage it was. I won’t allow my reputation to be tarnished. So, any thoughts of getting cozy with other men can’t happen again.”

Ellinor rolled her eyes, turned her gaze to the street view outside the car window, and let out a sarcastic snort. “You can’t even hold yourself to that, yet you expect me to? Aren’t you also secretly meeting other women in public?”
