The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 294 Regrets

With the itching stopped, Emily glared at Mason and demanded loudly, "What's going on? Have you been messing around with others behind my back? How else could I have caught an STD?"

Emily wanted to keep her own infidelity a secret.

She planned to use this opportunity to keep him in line, ensuring her own affairs would be easier in the future. She figured, since Mason was cheating, she was entitled to her infidelities as well.

Emily had married Mason not for love, but because he was the wealthiest of her suitors. Her marriage was for financial security, while her affair was for love—pure and unadulterated.
