Chapitre 92: Chapter 92

How did Jiao end up in the grocery store, slowly walking the aisles with the man fated as her mate, having the most intense conversation of her life? He asked if she loved her husband. Waited for a reply. But how to answer?

"Yes, I love him." But not in the way Chris thought. Oh how she hated the pain in his eyes. However, she couldn't lie. She did love Sheng and would never willingly hurt him. What she did now was such a betrayal of his trust, but necessary. She needed to make some things clear with Chris. Get him to give her some time without revealing her secret, time enough that things could turn out right for everyone. She should have known better. Her impatient wolf wanted direct answers.

"Is he your mate?" Strong hand clutching a box of cereal, she noted how the cardboard bent as Chris squeezed it tight, waiting for a reply.
