Chapter 245
'Can I not reply?' Moira cried inwardly. She saw Barclay's simple and direct response, and her hand holding the phone trembled.
Last night, Juliet had sent her a video from the bar before going to bed, followed by a message. [Come with me to check out some hot guys tomorrow, thanks.]
Just now, she remembered the message Juliet had sent her before going to sleep last night and subconsciously replied to it. [I'm getting ready to go check out some hot guys with you.] Unfortunately, at that moment, she sent the message to Barclay by mistake!
Moira's face was burning hot. Just as she was thinking about sending a reply claiming it was a mistake, Juliet sent a message. [Are you up yet? My hot guys are getting impatient!]
At the same time, Barclay sent another message. [What hot guys are you looking at?]
She hesitated to reply, while Juliet's messages kept popping up one after another.
Moira believed that if she didn't reply to Juliet, Juliet would probably continue to bombard her with messages.
She had no choice but to reply to Juliet first. [Stop nagging! I just accidentally sent the message I meant for you to Barclay, and I'm trying to figure out how to explain it!]
After sending the message, Moira planned to switch to Barclay's chat box, only to realize that she was already chatting with Barclay!
As expected, as soon as she sent the message, Barclay immediately followed up. [Have you figured out how to explain to me?]
She was too embarrassed to even look at her phone.
With that in mind, she actually just put her phone aside.
Barclay didn't send any more messages, but Moira knew that if she didn't say anything, he would ask when he came back.
Facing the prospect of a face-to-face interrogation, Moira's scalp tingled with nerves!
She had no choice but to pick up her phone again, take a screenshot, and honestly explain the situation. [It's not what you think. I didn't mean it that way. My friend is single, and she's a bit more enthusiastic in this regard... Mr. Covington, please rest assured. I would never do anything to tarnish your reputation!]
Moira felt her tone was very sincere, but after sending the message, she felt incredibly anxious.
For some reason, the person who had been responding instantly just a moment ago was now silent.
'Could it be? Wasn't my explanation enough? 4s Barclay angry? We're so far apart. If he's really upset, how am I going to make it up to him? I don't want to placate him...' she lamented inwardly.
Just as Moira was about to send her apology in the chat box, she finally received a reply from Barclay. [So, you're also checking out hot guys, huh?]
Moira was taken aback. [How could that be? My husband is so handsome!]
Barclay: [Okay.]
Moira: [Trust me!]
Married women did have a lot to consider, and they had to maintain a certain distance from other men.
Moira finally breathed a sigh of relief and grabbed her bag before heading out to find Juliet.
The taxi hadn't arrived yet, so Moira stood at the door, replying to Juliet's barrage of messages. [I'm on my wayout. I had a little mishap earlier, almost got divorced!]
Juliet: [But you're gonna get divorced sooner or later, aren't you?]
Moira was speechless.
Juliet's reply hit a little too close to home.
Before she could dwell on it for too long, the car arrived.
Moira pushed aside those lingering emotions and got into the car.
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of the square, the grand archway reminding passersby of the significance of the day.
It was only then that Moira realized today was actually Valentine's Day!
On such a lovely Valentine's Day, she was about to go to the bar with Juliet, a single woman, to check out hot guys dancing!
No wonder Barclay took so long to reply. He was probably suppressing his anger.
