Nigel paused on the other end of the call.
He didn't answer immediately. And when he finally did, he asked, "You're going out for dinner?"
Adelyn hummed in response, not bothering to speak—expecting him to simply answer her question.
But instead of telling her what she had asked, Nigel threw another question at her.
"With whom?"
Adelyn stopped in her tracks. Her lips pressed into a thin line.
"What? You won't tell me unless I answer you first?"
"I won't," Nigel said without the slightest hesitation. "Why should I tell you where to go for a dinner date with your boyfriend?"
"Boyfriend?" she echoed, confused.
And Nigel immediately followed with a scoff. "Don't tell me that just this afternoon, you went and registered your marriage with him already? Should I start calling him your husband now?"
Adelyn couldn't help but cough.
Husband?
Having a boyfriend already felt rushed… why was he skipping steps and promoting him straight to husband?
"Did the cat get your tongue?"
