She Flash-Married To His Rival

Chapter 104

When Moira thought the charming man before her might not respond to her inquiry, he surprised her by saying, “You’re correct. I’ll have Linden gather my likes and dislikes and share them with you,”

Moira retorted inside, ‘Can’t you tell me now? Do you have to be so serious? Without any doubt, she did not dare to say her thoughout loud. Instead, she nodded and replied with a smile, “Sure, thanks”

She stared at the watermelon and grapes and hesitated. It took her a while to decide to take up the plate. With that, she said, “I’m going to practice the piano now.” She felt so full that she decided to do something to aid her digestion.

Barclay glanced at the watermelon and nodded. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Moira was scared that Barclay would walk over to carry her, so she hurriedly came to the stars and walked upstairs, holding the handrail. She muttered to herself, ‘Mr. Covington’s enthusiasm is too much for me. I can’t take more today.

Barclay kept staring at Moira until a phone call forced him to retrieve his gaze. His expression immediately darkened when he saw the caller ID. He took up his phone and slid to answer, impatience growing in his eyes.

Before Barclay could say a word, a man roared from the other end of the phone, “Are you really going to marry that woman named Moira Jimenez?”

Barclay replied, “You must be misunderstanding, I already married her.”

Eric shouted, “No way! I won’t allow such a woman to become one of the Covington family!”

Barclay said, “She marries me, not the Covington family.”

Eric’s scolding kept rising from the phone. Barclay looked at the sunshine streaming in through the floor–to–ceiling window and stated, “If you have nothing else to say, I’m ending this call now.” Then, he hung up the phone as he promised.

Realizing Barclay had ended the call, Eric became so angry that he slammed his hand down on the table.

Bernice walked in, holding a cup of coffee. At a glance, she knew Eric must have fought with Barclay. She sighed and said, “Here, have some coffee to help calm your anger.”

Eric shouted, “That kid’s all grown up now and stopped listening to me!”

Bernice’s mood soured as she recalled the talking with Moira earlier that morning. She muttered, “I have to admit it. That Moira does have something!”

Eric was more furious when he heard that, roaring, “Well. I’m going to meet with Moira!”

Bernice cried out, “Please don’t!” She hurriedly explained, “You know Barclay well. I probably annoyed him when I went to see Moira this morning. If you go to see Moira now, he might stop talking to you!”

Eric’s anger did not outrun his rationality, and he could tell Bernice was right. He asked, “Then we do nothing and allow Moira to marry Barclay?”

Bernice pursed her lips and said, “I have an idea.”

Eric replied, “I’m all ears.”

Ten minutes later, Bernice walked out of Eric’s study and bumped into Alex, warning, “It’s not the best time to see your father. He’s furious.”

Alex frowned and asked, “Is it because of Barclay again?”

Bernice gently punched Alex and said, “Show some respect! He’s your brother”

Alex shouted with a stiff face, “I don’t have a brother like him!” Yet, he had ho intention to fight with Bernice. Thus, he changed the topic and asked, “Mom, did you go to see that woman today? What does she look like?”

Bernice glared at Alex and replied, “That woman has a name. She’s Moira Jimenez. Stop describing things like that it sounds like your brother is a casual

man!”

Alex snorted, “He marries the woman abandoned by Alfie. Can anyone be more casual than him?”

Bernice shouted with a stern expression, “Alex Covington!”

Alex cried out, “Enough talking with you! I’m going to see my dad now!” He passed Bernice and made his way to Eric’s study.
