She Flash-Married To His Rival novel Chapter 230

The following day, Moira woke up at nearly eleven, still dressed in the same dress from the previous evening. Memories of the last night slowly trickled back into her consciousness.

Despite her sobriety and clarity of mind at the time, why had she succumbed to hugging and kissing Barclay?

It was obvious. The alcohol had bolstered her courage.

Realizing the absurdity of her behavior, Moira felt a deep sense of shame but strangely lacked any remorse.

Undoubtedly, she had been led astray by Juliet!

Running a hand over her face, Moira's stomach grumbled in protest of its emptiness.

Moira swiftly rose from the bed, discovering her dress zipper was undone!

Before heading to the evening party, could she forget to fasten her dress zipper?

Impossible! Moira distinctly recalled checking it before leaving. The zipper was securely fastened. Yet now, after a night's rest, it was undone!

With only herself and Barclay in the house last night, and considering she had dozed off halfway, it was highly likely that Barclay had undone the zipper.

The thought made Moira flush with embarrassment.

How shameful!

Yet, she couldn't help but sense that Barclay was a decent man. Unzipping her dress might have led to more untoward actions if it were someone else.

Ah, he, indeed, was a gentleman.

Unfortunately, he had encountered someone as improper as herself.

Moira pinched her cheeks, forcing herself to push aside such improper thoughts, and hurried to shower and freshen up while clutching her clothes.

By the time she finished and descended the stairs, Ms. Graham had already prepared lunch.

Furthermore, the additives were mild and dissipated after a few hours.

Naturally, Barclay didn't suspect anyone had dared to interfere with Moira right under his nose. However, being cautious, he would only rest once he had all the facts.

With the investigation now concluded, the matter could be put to rest.

"Understood, it's been resolved," Barclay acknowledged, returning the documents to Linden.

Linden nodded as he took back the documents. Suddenly, enlightenment dawned upon him, and he understood why Barclay was in such good spirits today.

Ah, Jet had inadvertently done an excellent deed amidst his mischief.

Linden refrained from delving further into Barclay and Moira's marital affairs. He promptly took the documents and departed to dispose of them.

Yet he couldn't help but realize that Barclay's mood was intimately tied to Moira. It seemed Mrs. Covington held a special place in Mr. Covington's heart!
