My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict!

Chapter 76

Grace took the check and left the store with Lina.

There was cursing and muttering and she could only imagine how the store personnel would gossip-and she didn’t care.

She’d meant to get under their skin. It was petty and

unnecessary and she’d only wanted Sean to feel shameful for

But he’d called her bluff and carried through with it.

And Sean wasn’t a wealthy man by accident. He was very stingy-when he wasn’t trying to outdo himself for

“It is quite strange,” Grace said neutrally.

“Uh, does Sean still like you?” Lina ventured.

Grace shrugged. “No, I don’t think that’s it.”

“Grace, he just spent an obscene amount of money on you.”

“True. But I don’t think it’s affection that prompted it. I don’t even think it’s ego. Sean’s too cheap for that. I think it’s fear.
