Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon novel Chapter 185

“Effie.”

Mitchell’s eyes darkened, his face so stormy you could almost wring water from it.

He closed the distance between them in a few quick strides. “Effie, care to explain yourself?”

It wasn’t just suspicion getting the better of him—Effie’s behavior really was out of line.

A moment ago she was with Lyman, and now she was arm in arm with another pretty boy.

He’d always been sure of himself, convinced that as long as Effie was with him, she’d never look at another man—he thought his charm was more than enough.

But seeing Effie walking so intimately with Granger, he felt like his lungs might burst from anger.

Suzan’s words echoed in his mind: Was Effie really so shameless, seeing other men even while she was with him…?

Effie looked at Mitchell, finding his presence utterly baffling. When she needed him, he was always the one who never showed up.

Now that she no longer needed him, wanted nothing to do with him, he kept appearing out of nowhere.

Effie walked straight past Mitchell without a word. Granger gave Mitchell a curious glance, then followed after her.

Mitchell’s temper flared. He called out loudly, “Effie, are you incapable of surviving without a man? Impressive time management, I’ll give you that.”

His voice dripped with sarcasm.

Effie stopped, her gaze turning icy, a flash of anger in her eyes. She turned to Mitchell. “Your heart is filthy, and so are your assumptions. The only disgusting person here is you, not me.”

For a moment, Mitchell was speechless. After a pause, he tried again. “If… that’s not it, then explain.”

Effie’s voice was cold. “Explain what? Why should I explain anything to you? What are you to me?

If I owed anyone an explanation, it would be my husband—not you.”

With that, she turned and walked away.
