Marrying my secret admirer after my husband's fake death novel Chapter 190

Chapter 190

Edith’s phone buzzed with a courier’s call.

She had made sure to ask the delivery driver to wait outside the garden gate, slipping out quietly while Justin was in the shower.

By the time Justin emerged, fresh from his bath and impeccably dressed in a pressed suit, the house was already filled with the aroma of breakfast. Several important meetings were scheduled at the firm today, and Latonia had set the table.

Justin sat down at the dining table, glancing around in mild confusion. “Where’s Mrs. Hawksley?”

Latonia suppressed a smile. The young master really was smitten with his wife. Other people might call her Mrs. Hawksley out of habit, but with Justin, it was as if he was reminding the whole world whose wife she was–never missing a chance to use her married name.

“She said she had a package to pick up. She went to the gate–should be back any moment now,” Latonia replied.

Justin frowned slightly. “What kind of package is so important she has to fetch it

herself?”

Latonia shrugged. “No idea. She seemed in a hurry, though, so I guess it matters.”

Through the dining room’s floor–to–ceiling windows, Justin caught sight of Edith returning, clutching a parcel and looking rather secretive. He was just about to call out to her, but Edith kept her head down and headed straight for the spiral staircase.

He let his greeting die on his lips.

Latonia watched Edith’s mysterious behavior, her curiosity getting the better of her. “I wonder what she picked up?”

Justin’s brow furrowed. “Mrs. Hawksley is entitled to her privacy.”

Just then, his phone lit up with an incoming call. The name “Stein” appeared on the

screen,

A knowing smile played on Justin’s lips as he answered. “Stein–it’s been a while since you called.”

Stein’s voice was light and teasing. “Hey, I handled that thing you asked me to. Don’t worry, not a single photo of Mrs. Hawksley’s face.”

Justin smiled, satisfied. “Good work.”

Stein laughed. “When a benefactor asks, I get things done. No exceptions!”
