The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

‘It’s your fault that Laney has to take time off work,” Sebastian explained casually.

“All things considered, this punishment isn’t as severe as it should be.”

“But I’m not the one to blame,” Garrett argued.

“That’s the thing. You know my ex-girlfriend’s temper very well.”

Sebastian was having none of it, though.

“Of course, you’re to blame. You keep messing around with the wrong women.”

Garrett had nothing to say to that.

Natalie didn’t learn about the incident until she got off work that day. They were supposed to go home together, but Laney was nowhere in sight, so Natalie went to Garrett to ask where she was.

Once informed about her friend’s situation, Natalie headed straight to the hospital and stormed into Laney’s ward.

“Mr. Harding is a grown man! Why did you feel the need to block his assailant with your own body?” She was visibly angry when she had first arrived, but her expression instantly softened when she caught sight of Laney’s bandaged shoulder. Laney didn’t know how to explain herself. As a matter of fact, she had acted out of instinct.

“I wasn’t really thinking at the time,” she said sheepishly.

“Don’t worry; it’s just a minor injury.”
