Chapter 718 Has It Already Been Exposed?
Sarah was feeling all kinds of frustrated. She knew asking Antonio anything was pointless, so she just decided to give him the cold shoulder all day.
Come evening, Sarah was getting ready for her date. She yanked out a bunch of dresses, tossed them on the bed, and tried them on one by one, her excitement buzzing.
After picking a dress, she got down to business with her makeup.
She wanted to look top-notch for this Anthony guy.
Meanwhile, Antonio was on the couch, gripping a magazine so hard it was about to rip.
He was trying to keep it together but was failing miserably.
In a helpless tone, he muttered, "Sarah."
Sarah kept doing her eyebrows and replied, "What?"
Antonio was so jealous he could barely see straight, but he tried to stay cool and asked softly, "Can you not go?"
The thought of Sarah all dressed up with Anthony was driving him nuts!
"Why shouldn't I go?"
Sarah shot him a look like he was talking crazy. She added, "I already said yes. Plus, I got nothing else going on. Didn't I tell you I was looking for a stepdad for the kids?"
Antonio took a deep breath, not sure how to argue with that.
She had said that before, after all.
After a bit, seeing Sarah start on her lipstick, Antonio suddenly clutched his stomach and faked some pain. He groaned, "Sarah, my stomach's killing me. Can you stay with me?"
"Stomachache?"
Sarah paused. "Need to go to the hospital?"
Then she added, "If your stomach hurts, what can I do? How about I call an ambulance?"
Antonio was speechless.
Sarah was really gonna let him go to the hospital alone for Anthony?
Seeing him not respond, Sarah went back to her makeup, not even a bit concerned.
As her legit husband, how could Antonio take this neglect?
Even though he wasn't officially her husband yet.
But physically, he was!
After thinking it over, he decided he couldn't let Sarah go out like this. He'd lose it!
Just as Sarah was finishing her eye makeup, Antonio, who had just claimed to have a stomachache, came over with a cheesy smile. He said, "Sarah, the weather's looking bad. Might rain later. Why don't you stay in?"
"So what if it rains?" She glanced out the window and said on purpose, "Mr. Thomas is a gentleman. He'll definitely bring me back if it rains."
Antonio felt a wave of helplessness and got anxious. He asked, "So you're going out tonight, no matter what?"
Hearing his raised voice, Sarah put down her lipstick and stood up, snapping, "Why do you care if I go out or not?"
The more she talked, the angrier she got, and she finally let it all out, "You never tell me anything and you can mess around with whoever you want. Why can't I?"
Antonio didn't expect her to blow up like that and was left speechless. "I..."
Sarah cut him off, "Either you spill everything, or you got no right to control me!"
With that, she grabbed her bag and stormed out, not giving Antonio a chance to stop her.
Antonio watched her leave, fists clenched tight, feeling totally helpless. He pulled out his phone and called the bodyguards he had on standby.
"Send some guys to keep an eye on my wife. And if Anthony tries anything funny or you see something off, stop them right away!"
He wanted to shut down any chance of trouble!
The bodyguard on the other end confirmed, and Antonio hung up.
He looked around the empty room and let out a heavy sigh.
Sarah was out with Anthony. Besides having someone tail them, what else could he do? Sit at a nearby table and order food?
He had to chill and be the bigger man. Sarah said they were just friends and she'd be back after dinner.
Antonio tried to reassure himself, then reopened his phone and found a long-forgotten contact, his old "best friend," Loren.
'Will he be shocked to hear from me?' he thought.
Antonio smirked coldly, dialing the number as he walked out the door.
He drove to JK Bar, and as soon as he walked in, he spotted Loren at the bar, swaying his head, looking like a mess with his scruffy hair.
There were plenty of people like him in the bar, but Loren's mixed-race features made him stand out to Antonio right away.
He walked up and slapped Loren hard on the shoulder.
"Loren, my old buddy!"
Loren, caught off guard, almost fell over. Just as he was about to curse, he saw the familiar yet unfamiliar face up close. His eyes widened, "You... Benjamin?"
"Of course!" Antonio said.
Antonio waved to the bartender. "Didn't I just call you?"
"Oh, this is wild." Although he had called, he hadn't said he was coming right away! His sudden appearance threw Loren off!
He hadn't even mentioned he was here! Loren thought he was still in the Capital City!
Loren was unprepared and felt a bit nervous.
Antonio saw through his forced smile, his eyes growing darker under the bar's lights, but he acted super enthusiastic.
"Surprised?" He put his arm around Loren's shoulder, saying, "I came back just to find you guys!"
Loren stiffened, cursing inwardly but forcing a smile, "It's easy for us to contact each other. Why'd you suddenly show up? Something wrong?"
God!
No one had told him Benjamin would just pop in!
He knew nothing now. What if Benjamin asked about the past and he slipped up? That Harold who made him act wasn't easy to deal with!
Antonio stared at him, pretending to be mysterious. He asked on purpose, "Don't you know what's going on?"
Loren froze, his eyes darting around.
'Have I been exposed?' he thought.
