The Last Time I Loved Him (Autumn and Ryan) novel Chapter 71

Love Story7-Chapter 1

On the night I rushed home, a torrential rain hit, but I didn't hesitate for a second.

Today was the anniversary of my marriage to Easton Morris. In the past, we always spent it together, but this year, I had to attend a networking event at my boss's invitation to expand my connections.

To get home early, I didn't mind drinking half a bottle of strong liquor.

The phone rang.

Easton's voice, full of magnetism yet tinged with concern, came through.

"It's pouring outside. What time will you be done? Do you want me to come pick you up?"

The alcohol began to take effect, and thinking of Easton's gentle and caring face, a smile of happiness crept up my lips.

"No need. I'll probably finish here around midnight. If you're tired, go ahead and sleep, don't wait for me."

Easton sounded a bit unhappy.

"Today is our anniversary. Did you forget?"

"How could I forget? But something urgent came up. I'll make it up to you tomorrow, okay?"

I patiently reassured him, though my hand held a document folder.

We had been married for five years, and Easton had always been the same toward me. The only thing that bothered him was that all the assets under my name were my premarital property.

He often said that his career wasn't as successful as mine, and he didn't have as much wealth, which made him feel insecure, afraid I might be taken away.

So, I decided to transfer a property worth ten million under my name to his on our fifth wedding anniversary.
