All Chapters of Married As His Contractual Wife, Now He Spoils Me Silly! : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

AVERY WINTERSIf she's a Clarissa Moore, and the person I'm supposed to meet was Austin Moore, then.... they're siblings?I shut my eyes tightly, biting my lower lip out of embarrassment. I felt so stupid right now. If it were to be possible, I wish for the ground to divide into two, and swallow me.What was I even thinking?I should've waited, and confirm properly before accusing Bernard. I should've known he won't cheat on me."I-I'm sorry, Bernard. I had no idea you're here for a business meeting," I said, locking gazes with him with a pleading eyes. I also made sure my tone matches my expression. He slipped his hands into his pocket, his expression turning firm. "Well, I think the one who deserves that apology is her... not me," he said, gesturing toward Clarissa or whatever her name is.Of course, I felt embarrassed and sorry for my action, but if I were going to apologise to anyone, then it's Bernard, and not her.Strangely, I didn't feel any sorry toward her. I don't like he

AVERY WINTERSAn hour and a few minutes later, we were done with the meeting. Although, we're still engrossed in our conversation.Just then, the waitress from earlier arrived again, but Mr. Moore dismissed her. He let her know, she would be called once we're ready.As soon as we are done talking, and finalizing everything, we took out orders and ate in silence. We said our goodbyes, and Bernard and I left, heading straight back home.My husband and I ride in the same car, while my secretary and my driver took my car.I might not like the Clarissa girl, although I don't hate her, but this is business, and I have to be professional about it. I couldn't even tell Bernard not to sign this deal with her. Going as far as saying that to him, would definitely make me look selfish, and childish too.I didn't want him to feel, I am trying to do this because I'm jealous of her or something. Our ride back home was great. We talked about a lot of things, which leaded to the preparation of Rose

AVERY WINTERS"Is that you, Scarlet?" Harper exclaimed again, her eyes widening.And before I could realize what was happening, the two had already embraced each other in a tight hug.I stood there, staring at them in shock. I didn't know, or could say what exactly was going on."It's been so long, Scarlet. I didn't expect to see you here," Harper said excitedly, as she pulled back from the hug.The two stare at each other in happiness."I could say the same thing too, Anna," Scarlet said. "So, are you Avery's friend too, or you two are related?" she asked, glancing between Harper and I."None," "We're not friends, and neither are we related,"We both responded in unison, our voices icily cold.Just then, Ashley chimed in. "Well, I guess I choose the wrong day to return back home."That was when I realized that my long time friend, whom I used to cherish so much back then in school is here in front of me. I took a step closer and embrace her in a tight hug. I can't believe we're fi

AVERY WINTERSMy eyes immediately flashed with anger, as I clenched my fist. And, just as my lips parted, about to respond to her, Scarlet immediately intervened."Girls, please, can we not do this tonight? It's a wonderful night already, let's not ruin the moment. Please, let's try to put aside the differences, and enjoy the night," she said. Betrayal!Despite the fact that she'd swore to put Harper in her place. Her and Ivy had said they would do that whenever they set their eyes next on her.But now, she's here doing the opposite. She had suddenly turned into besties with her, just because they've known each other since the very beginning. She had even forgotten I existed. If I hadn't showed up, I doubt if she would even remember I was here.I didn't utter a word, nor did I react. I just let it be. Scarlet is right. Tonight is for Rose, and it wouldn't be right if I ruin it. For now, I would act neutral, just to honor Rose's day. I wouldn't bring myself low to her silliness.A

AVERY WINTERSI immediately looked away, tears welling up in my eyes, as I bit my lower lip nervously. I couldn't even dare to meet my husband's gaze, because I know he's furious at the moment."Did you just say, she's your wife?" She asked, her voice still dripping with disdain. "I can't believe this. After all the great things I've heard about you, being powerful, influential and well respected, I can't believe this is the type of woman you decided to choose to settle down with?" She expressed, her voice laced with disappointment. "A lunatic who can't even-"Bernard cut in, before she could complete her sentence. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Lawrence, but I won't stand here and let you to talk to my wife in that tone," he said, his tone firm and cold. "She is my wife, and I won't tolerate any form of disrespect from you."My head instantly snapped at him, shocked at his utterances. I couldn't believe he would actually took my side, and even protect me. Despite all I've done. I just let him do
