After Betrayal: Lightning Marriage to Mr. Enigmatic-Chapter 867: When a Lie Can’t Be Covered, Just Play Dumb

Harry Hunter’s heart was tinged with a delicate ache, a pain that grew ever larger, leading him to hug her tighter and tighter, and at some point, he had bent down to kiss her.

Isabella Weaver sensed his emotion and asked softly, "What’s wrong with you?"

Her words were unclear, but Harry Hunter still heard them.

His emotions surged fiercely, his voice slightly hoarse, "It’s nothing, I missed you, baby. I was afraid something would happen to you, and immediately came back without caring about anything else."

Isabella looked up to see that his eyes were actually red. She was startled and hurriedly reassured him, "I’m fine, the baby is fine too. Don’t worry, the bodyguards are very diligent and responsible, so many people are protecting me. You just focus on your work; don’t worry about things at home. It’s your birthday today; cheer up."

Harry Hunter’s eyes became even redder, his tone self-reproachful, "I didn’t protect you well..."

"How could that be? Aren’t I well protected?"

Isabella spun around in place, "Look, I’m especially fine. You mustn’t blame yourself. The old lady is not someone you can control; she knows it’s your birthday today and is thinking of you!"

Harry Hunter pondered for a long time before speaking softly, "Do you want to go to work?"

Isabella’s eyes lit up, "Can I?"

"As long as you don’t tire yourself, you can."

"Really?"

Isabella almost jumped up, her tone excited, "That’s great!"

Harry Hunter saw her happy like a bird about to leave its cage, his feelings mixed.

His desire to control was too strong, always wanting to confine her, even being unhappy if she glanced at another man. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Thankfully, she could tolerate him.

Isabella said, "Stop kissing," but she herself kissed him hard and then pushed him, "Aren’t you going back to the company? Hurry back to work; the Star Region Group needs you now."

"Baby, are you driving me away?"

Harry Hunter’s voice carried a hint of grievance, "I still want to hold you a bit longer."

Isabella quickly said, "Not driving you away. I actually want you to have lunch at home, but didn’t the Star Region Group have an explosion accident? Aren’t you busy?"

Harry Hunter pinched her chin, "How did you know about this? Hm?"

Oh no!

Carelessly let it slip!

"Well... I saw it in the newspaper!"

"Impossible, I suppressed the matter, no newspaper would dare report it."

Oh dear, this lie can’t be covered!

That’s why you shouldn’t lie; you need even more lies to cover the first one, it’s too painful!

Forget it, why bother covering the lie? She might as well act shamelessly!

"Never mind, I just know! You mustn’t ask again!"

She was fiercely defiant, making Harry Hunter laugh.

He knew it must have been Zoe Lewis who told her; Zoe’s ability to dig up gossip was first-rate, even more dedicated than reporters.

"Okay, I won’t ask then. I’ll go to work and come back to accompany you tonight."

Isabella waved grandly, "Alright, go!"

Harry Hunter indeed needed to leave. He didn’t let Isabella see him off, exited the door, got into the car, and headed straight to the accident site, not even bothering to eat lunch.
