Brad asked
Brad frowned after listening to her explanation. His short black hair fell over his forehead, partially blocking the light from the ceiling.

As his face darkened, Zoey bowed her head even lower. “Mr. Hamilton, we’ve been addressing Ms. Scott like that. She didn’t have any issues with it. Everyone here addresses her that way.”
She still couldn’t figure out why Brad was upset.
Brad’s frown deepened. “She’s my wife. Don’t you know that?”
