“Pristine, huh? I bet you’ve cheated on me countless times over the past three years while you paraded around as Mrs. Jefferson, right?”
Gisele’s chest tightened with anger as she stared at him in disbelief.
Was she really that despicable in his eyes?
Would he accuse her of infidelity if she told him she had been pregnant a week ago?
Seeing her pale face and lack of expression, Dorian snarled out angrily, “Did I hit a nerve? Are you counting how many lovers you’ve had?”
“Dorian.”
Gisele raised her weary eyes. Their dullness was tinged with a hint of sorrow. “Why are you so eager to make yourself a cuckhold? Unlike you, I won’t engage with other men until our divorce is finalized.

She wondered whether marrying him had made her feel inferior.
Gisele perked up at the sound of the incoming call and sat upright. Glancing around, she noticed Dorian’s phone lighting up.

Gisele looked toward the bathroom door with a cold gaze. “Really? Sorry, Sierra. Your ‘babe‘ is having dinner with his legal wife tonight. It looks like you’ll be on your own.”
“Gisele? You two…” Sierra’s voice trembled on the other end.
