Chapter 250
The car pulled up in front of Juliet's neighborhood, and after Juliet got out of the car, she finally mustered up the courage to ask Felix for a photo.
As Juliet stepped out of the car, Moira felt even more awkward.
Luckily, the car had been quiet the whole way. Moira pretended to be asleep with her eyes closed until they entered the villa area. Only then did she open her eyes. Felix, sitting beside her, raised an eyebrow. "We've arrived, Ms. Jimenez."
"Oh, have we? Sorry, I must have dozed off a bit," she said, feigning a yawn.
Felix looked at her with a half-smile. "See you at the concert."
"Sure, see you at the concert."
Moira glanced at the familiar front door of her house, quickly pushed open the car door, and got out. "Thanks for tonight, guys. I'll head back now. Take care on the road." As Moira was about to close the car door, Felix suddenly said, "Wait."
"Hmm?"
Did she drop something?
Moira glanced down. Her bag and phone were there, and nothing had been left behind.
Moira was puzzled as Felix suddenly held out a rose. "Happy Valentine's Day."
Moira hesitated and looked at the rose. "Happy Valentine's Day, but I won't accept the flower, thanks anyway."
"If you don't accept flowers on Valentine's Day, wouldn't you be unhappy?"
Felix's words hit her hard. Moira couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness as she thought of Barclay, who hadn't even wished her a happy Valentine's Day.
But she had professional ethics and personal integrity. Given her relationship with Felix, she shouldn't accept this flower no matter what.
"Mr. Covington gave it to me, thanks anyway."
Considering the misunderstanding with Cynthia, Moira didn't dare to narcissistically think that Felix liked her.
Perhaps Felix was just being kind on Valentine's Day.
As Moira thought this, Felix suddenly added, "Oh, I forgot you're married. Sorry for the offense, Ms. Jimenez." Was he really forgetful, or was it intentional?
Looking at Felix's smiling face, Moira was momentarily speechless. "It's okay. I'll just head back."
Seeing her change in expression, Felix dropped his casual smile. "Sorry, offended you. I just noticed you seemed upset and wanted to cheer you up."
Moira glanced at Felix. Whether Felix e was telling the truth or not, since the was so sincere, she didn't feel right getting angry. "It's okay. I'm really not feeling too good today"
She didn't want to say much more. Waving her hand, she was about to turn around when suddenly the door of the villa opened.
She thought Barclay, who was supposed to be on a business trip, suddenly appeared in front of her. "Mrs. Covington, don't you want to come home?"
Under the streetlight, Barclay, in a suit, looked at her expressionlessly.
Moira's heart skipped a beat. She forgot about Felix for the moment and hurried over. "You're home?"
Barclay lowered his gaze to her, his eyes carrying a hint of coldness. "Shouldn't I have come back?"
"Why would you say that? This is your home!"This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
"So it's not your home, is it?"
Moira could sense Barclay's anger.
Honestly, it was reasonable. On such an important day as Valentine's Day, Moira was hanging out with Felix, a public figure. they were caught, it would be a disaster.
She pursed her lips. "I'm sorry. I messed up."
Sincerity was a killer move. As for the rest, she would explain later!
Barclay glanced at the still parked black SUV and reached out to hold Moira's hand directly. "Well, as long as you know you're wrong." Moira looked at her hand being held, her heart racing.
Was he this easy to placate?
