All Chapters of Secretly Married To Her Professor : Chapter 81 - Chapter 85

MOONYuki kept looking between us long after the conversation should have moved on, her coffee suspended halfway to her mouth while her brows slowly climbed toward her hairline."This is so fucking trippy," she finally muttered, turning to Aphrodite again. "I know you said cousins, but Jesus. Anyway, are you busy? You should have lunch with us."My eyes went straight to Aphrodite.Please say no.Not because I was worried she'd slip up. Well, that too, considering she'd already answered to my fucking name once and nearly sent Yuki's brain into detective mode. Mostly, though, I didn't want her here.I'd been uneasy from the second I saw her standing outside Cillian's office, and the feeling had only grown while she dodged every question I asked. Aphrodite didn't drive across the city because she suddenly developed an interest in university architecture.

MOONJessica and Shiro barely made it three steps away before Yuki grabbed my wrist and pulled me toward the quieter edge of the hall.Her fingers weren't hurting me, but they were cold. Freezing, actually, despite how warm the room was, and when she released me she immediately folded both arms across her chest as though she needed to hold herself together."You're married to Professor O'Brien." Her voice came out low, almost swallowed beneath the music and conversations behind us. She stared at me while she spoke, brown eyes wide and glossy, confusion slowly hardening into hurt. "You've been married to him this entire time?"My tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth. I rubbed my damp palms against the sides of my dress and nodded. "Yes, but Yuki, I can explain. It isn't...I couldn't tell anyone at school. We agreed to keep it private because he's my professor and...""I'm not asking why the school doesn't know." Her brows pulled together and her voice cracked slightly before she cleare
