Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon novel Chapter 128

She immediately made a phone call.

Just wait and see.

The next morning, Effie got up right on time for work.

After coming home last night, Lyman had been in high spirits. In the end, both of them had stayed up much later than usual before finally collapsing into bed.

Even though Effie felt a bit tired, her mood was surprisingly good.

When she stepped into the living room, she found Lyman already busy making breakfast.

She couldn’t help but admire him. No matter how late he went to bed or how exhausted he was, Lyman always managed to get up early and prepare breakfast.

It made her feel genuinely cared for.

Honestly, Effie would’ve been fine grabbing a quick bite, nothing fancy. But to Lyman, breakfast mattered. Maybe he felt guilty for being so busy all the time, always worrying he didn’t take care of her enough.

“You’re up. Come have some breakfast,” Lyman called out.

“Okay.” Effie smiled, nodding as she sat down at the table.

They chatted idly as they ate together.

After breakfast, Effie headed off to the office.

But the moment she arrived, she noticed something felt off.

Her coworkers were giving her odd looks.

Effie paused, suddenly self-conscious. Was her appearance a mess?

Then she remembered how Lyman had kissed her neck last night, and a wave of panic hit her.

He always said the side of her neck was her most sensitive spot, so… God! What if there was a mark? How could she face anyone?

She quickly set down her bag and hurried to the restroom to check herself in the mirror.

As soon as she left, her colleagues instinctively gathered together, whispering in hushed voices.
