Joan Graham’s fingers suddenly tightened at her side. She struggled internally for a few seconds, then raised her eyes to et his gaze stiffly, responding with silence.
"Not going to answer, are you?" David Dalton didn’t get angry. He just smiled slightly, "If you don’t answer, from now on, move out and sleep elsewhere."
The woman’s eyes widened in shock, his calm deanor told her that he would definitely find out the truth!
David Dalton continued drying his hair, then sat down on the edge of the bed, expressionless, ready to sleep.
Joan Graham knew she couldn’t hide it anymore; if he checked the surveillance tomorrow, he’d know she went to the office.
Moreover... she couldn’t drag Grace into this; she had to handle it herself!
The photo taken when buying a cake was taken by Grace, the chat records hadn’t been deleted yet.
Therefore, she couldn’t let him see the phone!
Joan Graham suppressed the panic in her heart, turned her eyes to him, and with so sadness and grievance, asked, "Have you... really fallen in love with her?"
Such inexplicable words left David Dalton utterly confused.
He looked up, "Fallen in love with who?"
"..." Joan Graham looked aggrieved, a bit unable to utter the na, after all, Mia Lane was no ordinary person; she was Mrs. Kingston.
This wasn’t sothing to be taken lightly.
David Dalton, however, kept his eyes fixed on her, "Say what you have to say directly, I’m only giving you one chance for honest communication."
Joan Graham thought for a mont and said weakly, "I went to the office this afternoon to bring you chicken soup."
David Dalton’s eyes flashed like lightning, focusing on her face!
"And then?"
Under his sharp gaze, Joan Graham’s lips curved in sad arcs, "Then I saw you all... you and Mia Lane, talking and laughing in the office, very close."
David Dalton sneered, "Ridiculous!"
It startled Joan Graham. She blinked her teary eyes, "You usually don’t work overti, suddenly you started."
"We take a family photo every year, but this year it was suddenly canceled."
"Not suddenly, but since Mia Lane appeared, you’ve changed..." She said these last four words very softly, not daring to bla him.
David Dalton roughly understood what was going on.
She misunderstood!
"Listen, I’ll only explain once." David Dalton stood up and said directly, "Mia Lane is already married; she’s Mrs. Kingston. What silly woman would give up such a status and ruin her reputation?"
That made sense, but there was also a saying that when emotions co, they can’t be stopped.
"So, there’s nothing between Mia and !" David Dalton’s tone was neither heavy nor light, "Working overti was for coordinating work."
Hearing this response, Joan Graham didn’t know what else she could say.
No matter what, he wouldn’t admit it, would he?
As long as they weren’t caught in bed.
David Dalton finished drying his hair, and Joan Graham stood motionless in front of the bed, not knowing whether to leave or stay tonight.
Second marriage, though she had been with him for twenty years, the status was always quite awkward.
David Dalton put down the hairdryer and lay down on the bed, closing his eyes and soon falling asleep.
Joan Graham was extrely embarrassed, caught in a dilemma.
To avoid making him angry, she decided to sleep in the guest room. That night, Joan Graham was destined to be sleepless.
Erald Cove, the main light of the beautiful mansion went out, and the yard lights emitted a faint warm glow.
Upstairs in the master bedroom.
Justin Kingston and Mia Lane had just finished bathing. She leaned against his arm, and he rolled over onto her, propping himself up on his elbow.
"I’ve looked into this David Dalton fellow; he’s particularly upright."
"Why did you suddenly say this?" Mia Lane was very pleased that her father could earn his approval.
