The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 91

Zoey leaned halfway into the room as she spoke.

The young woman's round eyes scanned the interior, a hint of wariness hidden in her gaze.

Was she looking for someone?

I glanced at the clock on the wall, startled to realize that half an hour had already passed since the banquet ended.

But at this hour, who could Zoey possibly be looking for in my room?

Wait, she had just mentioned Ferris. Did she suspect he was here?

My heart leaped into my throat at the thought. I was about to explain when Zoey clutched her stomach. "Selena, I think I had a little too much to drink. Can I use your restroom?"

I naturally couldn't refuse.

However, when she closed the bathroom door, that inexplicable sense of suspicion crept back up.

I was staying in a simple business suite. If there was a second person in here with me, the only place they could hide was the bathroom.

So, was Zoey really just using the restroom?

It was honestly laughable. Legally speaking, Ferris and I were a properly married couple. Yet here I was, being interrogated by Zoey, completely powerless to do anything about it.

And the culprit responsible for this situation had been in the same room with me just moments ago.

Consumed by the heat of our passion.

Was that why he had momentarily forgotten to answer his Little Mischief's call?

The sound of the sliding door pulled me from my thoughts. I looked up, my eyes meeting Zoey's. She awkwardly averted her gaze and stammered, "I'm so sorry, Selena. Look at me, causing so much trouble this late at night. I must be disturbing your rest."

Watching her look so anxious and uncertain, I couldn't bring myself to be angry.

After all, she had no idea about my relationship with Ferris.

Plus, she had drank quite a bit tonight.

I kept my tone composed. "It's fine. I know you meant well."

Just then, Zoey's phone rang. She looked eagerly at the flashing screen, a pleasant surprise lighting up her face. "It's Ferris."

She answered the call right in front of me.
