When Fate Intervenes (Giselle and Anthony) novel Chapter 3

The next afternoon, Giselle's laptop suddenly refused to get booted up, so she borrowed Anthony's laptop to finalize all the documents she had on hand.

While waiting for her files to transfer, a new WhatsApp message notification popped up on the screen. Giselle instinctively clicked on the notification and opened the message screen. It was a message from the law firm's group chat.

"Anthony, we're all meeting up for a dinner gathering tonight. Wanna bring your girlfriend along?"

Giselle's hand trembled unconsciously when she read the message.

While she had been married to Anthony for three years, he had never once told anyone else that he was married. So, everyone thought he was still single and available.

This was precisely the reason why nobody at the firm had recognized her as his wife when she went there yesterday.

Was Anthony going to agree to it this time?

Giselle didn't know. She also didn't dare to place her hopes too high.

Anthony saw the message on his phone next to her. He immediately lifted his head to look at her as if observing her facial expressions.

Realizing Anthony's eyes on her, Giselle just smiled faintly and asked, "Are you going to bring me there?"

She was asking him between the lines whether he was finally going to reveal her identity after three years of marriage.

Anthony didn't know how to answer her. He opened his mouth but said nothing.

The sudden silence felt like a knife slicing Giselle's heart right open. She could feel it throbbing in pain. Still, she did her best to suppress the feeling and put on a nonchalant expression, pretending to be relaxed.

"I've got something on tonight, though. I probably wouldn't be able to make it even if you wanted to bring me along."

Anthony's anxious look immediately eased up. His expression returned to normal as he replied, "Then I'll bring you along the next time if there's a chance."

Giselle said nothing.

She just covered her eyes with her hand, answering him silently in her heart that there wouldn't ever be a next time anymore.

…

That night, Anthony went to the gathering alone. As soon as he entered the place, however, a few tipsy colleagues immediately cornered him.
