Chapter 68: I Bought Those Strawberries Because- Angela POV

Sean's jaw clenched visibly in the dim foyer light.

“Christina's going to post about the accident on Instagram. Clear up any... misunderstandings."

"She was injured, Sean's voice rose defensively. "And I bought those strawberries because-"

I cut him off, not wanting to hear the rest. I didn't need him to explain how important Christina was to him-his actions had already made that crystal clear.

"Of course," I said, my voice dripping with quiet venom. "Buying strawberries for your beloved in the middle of the night is perfectly natural. No explanation needed."

The flash of hurt in Sean's eyes gave me a moment of bitter satisfaction. Let him feel a fraction of what I felt every time he rushed to Christina's side.

The muffled sound of a television drifted from Elizabeth's room, making me lower my voice to a warning whisper.

"Elizabeth's still here, Sean. You might want to be more careful about flaunting your relationship with Christina."

His expression darkened dangerously. "That's rich, coming from you. Should we discuss your cozy lunch with Nathan last week? Or perhaps your little dance with Christopher?"

"Oh, you're right," I replied, my voice honey-sweet with mockery. "Maybe I should post those moments on Instagram too. I'm sure Elizabeth would love to see everything that's happening in the Shaw family's perfect little world."

Christina on social media, two could play at that game.
