The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal novel Chapter 29

Chapter 19: Claire’s POV

I could see the jealousy in Leo’s eyes. I planned on asking what he was doing here but he grabbed my arm and began pulling me towards the front door of the cafe. I look back and see Jordan has stood up and I give a small apologetic smile. I didn’t want him to think Leo was hurting me and I didn’t want either of them to cause a scene. Jordan understood a gave a slight wave with a look that left no imagination as to what he felt. He was concerned.

As we left the cafe, I feel Leo’s grip loosen and he opens the back of the private town car’s door for me. Leo only ordered a private blacked–out vehicle and driver when he was either emotional and decided against driving or when he had meetings on the go. I can’t understand why there was one here now or why I watched him send the driver away while we entered.

I get in slowly and quickly turn to face Leo as gets in.

“What are you doing here?” I ask snappily.

“Claire, you are my wife! I don’t need to explain to you that it’s completely inappropriate for you to see other men while we’re still married!” He was more than angry. He was jealous and furious.

“What the hell are you talking about, Leo?” Seeing other men? Married? I was not sleeping with anyone and I most certainly didn’t need to explain myself after the scene Leo had just caused.

“I saw you laughing and looking at that guy through the window and you left the house without even a word. I had to find out that you had left from Charlotte!” He looked at me bewildered.

“Leo, I don’t need your permission to leave the house. I’m there to take care of Charlotte and she

didn’t need me at that moment. And I am a grown woman – I am allowed to go and see who I please.” I was starting to get annoyed by this situation.

“I will not sit back and watch you have an affair with that guy!”

“Leo, you’re not sitting back and watching anything.

I’m not having an affair and I can’t believe you would accuse me of such a thing!” I was insulted.

He had embarrassed, humiliated and insulted me.

“You don’t need anyone else, Claire. I know you. I love you. I crave you and I shouldn’t have to tell you this.” That wasn’t what I needed to hear but before I’m able to respond, Leo grabs my face and pulls me into a kiss. It was hot, desperate and tantalizing.
