Chapter 155
“Nothing. I’ll go down first. The police are still waiting at the door. Come down quickly.”
Moira felt guilty as Barclay watched her, so she quickly turned and left.
Moira’s heartbeat had yet to stabilize even as she walked downstairs. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
“How embarrassing! Moira thought..
Moira stopped at the entrance and raised her hand, putting it atop her chest, and her other hand touched her burning cheeks. After half a minute, Moira moved again.
“I’m sorry, Officer Gray. My husband will be down soon.” Moira said.
The officer, Henry Gray, nodded. When Henry saw Moira open the door for the second time, he knew this was a misunderstanding.
However, since Moira had already informed her husband, it was not appropriate for them to leave now.
Barclay came down very quickly. He walked down in a black bathrobe. His short hair was still dripping with water, and it was obvious that he had just taken a shower.
Moira glanced at Barclay and briefly introduced both parties to each other. “Officer Gray, this is my husband, Barclay Covington.”
When Moira looked at Barclay, her face was a little hot. In front of outsiders, they still had to put on an act.
Moira took a deep breath and said softly, “Honey, this is Officer Gray.”
Barclay’s black eyes moved slightly. He looked at her and raised his hand to put his arm around her shoulder, his fingers closing around her shoulder as he held her.
Moira’s ears turned red as Barclay suddenly hugged her in such an intimate manner.
Henry had naturally heard of Barclay. Although it was his first time seeing Barclay in person, Henry had seen many photos of Barclay in interviews and financial magazines. As such, he immediately recognized Barclay.
This time, Henry was completely relieved. “Mr. Covington, this is a misunderstanding. We’re just trying to ensure Mrs. Covington’s safety.”
Barclay nodded and did not mind. “No worries. Thank you for coming.”
“If there’s nothing else, we won’t disturb you any longer,” Henry said.
“Thank you,” Barclay responded.
Henry nodded and got into the car.
The police car slowly drove away and Moira heaved a sigh of relief.
However, not long after, Moira felt herself tense up again.
Moira carefully glanced at Barclay and quickly stood up straight to admit her mistake. “Mr. Covington, I’m sorry.”

Barclay looked at her and retracted his hand. His expression was indifferent. “You’re quite alert.”
With that, Barclay turned around and walked into the villa.
Moira was embarrassed and followed him into the villa.
“Who would have thought Juliet was so quick to react?‘ Moira thought.
Thinking of Juliet. Moira hurriedly took out her phone and sent Juliet a message to explain.
After all the commotion, it was already late. It would be midnight in about five minutes.
After all the commotion, it was already late. It
Moira had yet to take a shower. She put down her phone and took a set of pajamas, planning to take a shower and sleep. Unexpectedly, there
was a sudden knock on the door.
Moira and Barclay were the only people in the villa at this time. As such, it could only be Barclay who was at the door.
Moira put down her pajamas and went to open the door. When she saw Barclay standing in front of her, she held her breath.
‘Oh god, isn’t his bathrobe too revealing?” Moira thought to herself.
Moira barely managed to steady herself and looked up. “What’s the matter, Mr. Covington?”
“Do you want supper?” Barclay asked.
“Oh, I’m not hungry. You…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Moira’s stomach suddenly growled.
There was an awkward silence.
Barclay had obviously heard it. He glanced at her stomach and said, “Eat something with me.”
“Alright…” Moira answered.
