My Perfect Marriage Was His Perfect Crime novel Chapter 50

He kissed my forehead, [Honey, I love you.]

After some playful moments, I laid in his arms and asked,

[What's up with your ex?]

Zack froze for a second, looking confused,

[Which one?]

I suddenly sat up from the bed, grabbed the pillow next to me, and hit him with it,
