She Flash-Married To His Rival novel Chapter 4

When Linden and Juliet arrived at Moira's ward, Barclay had just exited the room.

Linden followed Barclay and left.

The hospital expected many visitors, and the elevator was crowded with people.

It was not until they returned to the car that Linden asked Barclay, "Mr. Covington, did you and Ms. Jimenez have a deal?"

Barclay, resting with his eyes closed, reopened them when he heard Linden ask. His index finger tapped the leather of the seat. "I guess so," he answered.

"So what should I prepare?" Linden asked, thinking Moira was frank.

Then, he heard Barclay saying from the back seat, "A house for my married life."

Linden felt that, most likely, he had misheard. Subconsciously, he turned back and looked at Barclay. "Mr. Covington, did you just say a house for your married life?"

He was only thirty years old, too young to be deaf.

"Yes," Barclay answered with a single word and went back to his nap, his left hand gesturing for the diver to dive.

The car slowly started, and Linden withdrew his sight and pinched his hand. Ouch! So, he was not in a dream.

He wondered what Moira had said to Barclay that made him suddenly prepare for married life. He naturally knew the house was not for Moira and Alfie, like a wedding gift. Barclay would simply ask him to transfer a home to Moira if it were the case.

Linden was confused all the way.
