Chapter 29
When they had rushed into marriage, Moira had no real expectations for it. But now, as she spent more time with Virgil, their relationship was starting to resemble that of a normal married couple.
If she could go back to the day of their impromptu wedling, she never would have imagined that Virgil would carry her in his arms. She thought, He swuld’ve just woken nie up, rigur
Moira absentmindrally walked into the bathroom. She was about to undress for a shower when she realized she had brought Virgil’s suit jacket in with bet

rm was missing, and the outline was clearly visible
Her heart skipped a beat. She thought, Dil Virgil ser it when he carried me earlier? He probably didrit, since I was wearing his jacket. But what if
Despite their munnary. Moira still felt self–conscious. She stripped off the rest of her clothes and searched through the pockets of his suit jacket, hoping to find the missing nipple cover, but it wasn’t there.
She wondered. Could at fall in the car? The thought nude her cheeks burn. She couldnt stay calm now
After her shower, Maita walked to the floor of the master bedroom and knocked softly
A low, sleep vasice called from inside. “Come in
She turned the handle, pushed open the door, and glanced toward the bed, but it was empty. Then she looked toward the floor–to–ceiling windows
Virgil was on the phone, wearing a dark bathrobe, his hair damp, exuding an rasygning air
“by something wrong?” he asked his voice still carryingg a him of business–like edge.
Moira quickly averted her gaze. “I just came to return your suit. Thank you”
“Okay, Just leave it on the couch.”
Til hang it up for you
Moira carefully hung the suit in the bathroom, then came back out but didn’t leave immediately. She seemed hesitant, like she wanted to say wonciling but wasn’t sure how.
“Is there something elser Virgil raised an eyebrow, sensing her unease
Moira noided. She had originally planned to ask for the car keys so she could go back downstairs and look for her missing nipple cover, but the words Ich awkward. “Nipple cover” seemed too embarrassing to say out loud.
She thought. ‘If I just ask for the car key, he can’t just give it to me without any concern. After all, the car is worth over 400 thousand dollars. Should Task him to go with me! That doesn’t seem right either
After a few moments of inner debate, she finally blurted out, “Could you give me a ride tomorrow?”
Virgil looked at her, his expression unreadable, then replied after a brief pause. “I leave pretty carly”
“Tan leave as early as you,” she said.
Her eagerness seemed to catch him off guard. His dark eyes feel the intensity of his gaze.

Without thinking, she looked away, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. She thought. Maybe I am just overthinking. He doesn’t seem drunk today, and he is perfectly capable of driving
“Okay,” he replied.
The simple response made Moira breathe a quiet sigh of relief “Then get back to what you were doing. I’ll go back to my room.” She quickly closed the door behind her, not daring to stay another second.

Once the door clicked shut, Virgil returned the phone to his ear. “If there’s nothing else. I’m hanging up:
On the other end. Howard sounded surprised. “You’ve actually got a woman!”
Virgil glanced out at the rain, a smirk tugging at his lips. “Is that so hard to believe”
“But yesterday you said you were single! I was even thinking of finding you someone to help with your… needs. And now you’ve been hiding one from me?” Howard wid
Howard felt a mix of surprise and betrayal. “Weren’t you planning to be ascetic? What changed? Did Veronica come back?”
The mention of Veronica made Virgil’s expression harden. I told you not to bring up that name again.”
“So it’s not Veronica“” Howard’s curiosity piqued. “When can we meet her? I’m dying to know
Virgil’s tone remained calm. “Not anytime soon.
Just a fling, then!”
