I tried to break free from his grip but to no avail.
Arthur was furious. "Avery, we're not divorced yet!"
I gave him a cold look and scoffed, "You cheated on me even when we were married."
Arthur's face turned pale momentarily, his mouth opening and closing without words.
"I...I know I was wrong. I never really thought about splitting up with you.
"I do love you, but why would you do the same?"
I tilted my head, amused as I watched him.
Emmett got out of the car, came over, and pried his hand off me, chuckling.
"Love her? Save the lies for your buddies, don't fool yourself too."
"What the hell are you supposed to be?" Arthur spat.
Emmett curled his lip.
"Her lover."
Arthur's face went white in an instant, his lips trembling as he looked at me questioningly.
I nodded with a smile amidst his frantic gaze.
"Avery! Do you really need to demean yourself just to get back at me?"
"What, you can have a mistress, and I can't seek some excitement? Be fair, Arthur."
Arthur's body swayed. "Avery, please don't hurt me like this."
I laughed joyously.
"Once the cooling-off period for the divorce is over, we'll be strangers on different paths. Why should you care what I do? Is Lyla's bed uncomfortable?"
