Betrayed On My Wedding Eve Chapter 07

Someone laughed before I could answer.

“Her? Africa? She’s probably never even left the city.”

Brendan smirked. Shook his head.

Jade’s eyes went sharp and satisfied.

“Fair enough. Wrong person to ask. I should’ve asked where the cheapest produce is around here. Or which toilet cleaner actually works.”

The table burst out laughing.

She turned back. Next topic.

I wrapped my hand slowly into a fist under the table.

I must have been a little drunk. Otherwise why would this cheap little dig make me angry?

“I have,” I said quietly.

The table got a little quieter.

Jade tilted her head. “What?”

“I’ve been to Africa.”

Something flickered across her face. Then she scoffed.

“Oh please. No need to front. If you haven’t gone, you haven’t gone.”

“Lying’s bad for you. Easy to get caught out.”

“I’m not lying.”

“Then where?”

She leaned back, chin up. Certain I couldn’t answer.

I held her gaze.

“DR Congo.”
