Chapter 151
Both Aiken and Moira heaved a sigh of relief. Aiken was relieved because he knew his daughter was doing well, and Moira was relieved since she no longer had to worry about being careful to keep her secret.
After hanging up, Moira thought about the marriage contract and reached for the dressing table. She took the contract and read it again.
Looking at it again, Moira still felt that something was amiss.
‘Forget it, I’ve already signed it. There’s nothing to be conflicted about. Moira thought.
Moira yawned. She was extremely sleepy. She put the contract away, changed into her pajamas, and went to take an afternoon nap.
The matter between Moira and Katie had blown up on the Internet, and Barclay had also been dragged into it. Even Harvey and the rest of Barclay’s friends, who usually did not read such entertainment gossip, went to Twitter to take a look.
Barclay had just finished dealing with some matters when he turned slightly and saw his phone screen light up on the table.
There were messages in the WhatsApp group, so Barclay picked up his phone and saw that he had been mentioned.
Finley had sent a message along with two screenshots, [Are you this flirtatious now?).
Harvey: [Barclay, were you drunk?]
Evan: [He exposed his true nature.]
Barclay clicked his tongue and replied. [You’re not married, so you don’t understand.]
It was a Saturday, so everyone happened to be quite free.
As soon as Barclay sent out the message, he was bombarded with messages from the group almost immediately.
Harvey: [We’re not married, so we didn’t know that one would become flirtatious.
Finley: [We’re not married, so we didn’t know that one would become flirtatious.]
Evan: [We’re not married, so we didn’t know that one would become flirtatious.]
Barclay glanced at the messages and was too lazy to reply
‘They’re just jealous.” Barclay thought.
Barclay chuckled to himself.
Moira slept for a long time, only waking up after six in the evening. By then, the sky was already a little dark.
When Moira opened her eyes, the room was dark.
Did I sleep into the night?! Moira wondered.
Moira reached for her phone and looked at the time before heaving a sigh of relief

“Luckily, I didn’t miss dinner.” She thought.
Just as Moira heaved a sigh of relief, there was a knock on the door.
“Dinner,”
A deep male voice sounded outside the door. Moira was embarrassed. “Okay, Mr. Covington.”
Moira patted her cheeks and quickly changed her clothes.
When she opened the door and saw Barclay standing in front of the door, Moira was surprised.
Moira thought Barclay had already gone downstairs.
However, since Barclay had surprised her by standing at the door, she had been caught off guard and had walked right into him, colliding
with his chin.
It hurt a little.
Moira subconsciously hissed.
However, it did not hurt that much. It was just for an instant.
“I’m sorry. I thought you went downstairs.” Moira said.
“Did it hurt?”
Barclay lowered his head and held the back of her head with his big hand, his thumb rubbing the top of her head.
Moira realized she was practically in Barclay’s arms, and her ears slowly turned red.
Rose, who was coming up to call them down for dinner, had not expected to see Moira in Barclay’s arms, calling out, “Mr. Covington, dinner is ready.” It was only when Moira pulled herself out of Barclay’s arms that Rose noticed.
Rose subconsciously looked at Barclay. Barclay’s expression was very calm, looking at Rose and frowning. It was clear that he was unhappy with being disturbed.
Rose’s heart tightened, casually giving an excuse before quickly leaving.
‘No, it’s not what you think!‘ Moira thought.
Moira spoke, “Ms. Graham, we…
Moira’s face was red, wanting to explain, even as Rose had turned around and left.
However, Rose–left too quickly. In just a few seconds, Rose had already reached the staircase and gone downstairs.
Moira looked at Barclay in embarrassment. “I think Ms. Graham has misunderstood us.”
“Misunderstood what?” Barclay asked as he looked up.
“Misunderstood that we were… kissing?” Moira answered.

‘This is so embarrassing! How am I supposed to say it out loud?‘ Moira thought.
“Aren’t we husband and wife?” Barclay asked.
“Yes, but…” Moira paused.
“We’re a fake couple!‘ Moira thought quietly to herself.
“Isn’t it normal for couples to kiss?” Barclay asked.
Moira understood what Barclay meant. “Yes,” she answered.
Moira realized that it was true that Rose didn’t know that they were a fake couple.
Barclay did not let Moira dwell on this problem anymore. “It’s time to eat.”
“Oh, okay.”
Moira did not hesitate anymore and walked downstairs.
However, when Moira reached the stairs, she suddenly thought of something.
‘Wait. We weren’t even kissing just now. Moira thought.
