She had never anticipated that Mason would uncover her deception. She realized that he wouldn't have spoken so confidently if he wasn't absolutely certain."How... How can you say that I lied?" Addison's curiosity and anxiety mingled in her voice as she desperately sought an explanation for his revelation.Mason's response was laced with a hint of irony. "Isn't it obvious? I was there when you were having your wedding dress fitting, remember? You openly discussed your weight while taking your measurements.
