Chapter 223: Chapter 223

Adam frowned tightly.

“Janiya’s an important guest here, and you’re the wife of the mayor.

Shouldn’t you think about the interests of the town?”

Riley narrowed her eyes at him and asked pointedly, “You keep saying that Janiya and Caleb are the town’s distinguished guests.

I’m curious.

Who exactly are they? And why have there been so many strange visitors in town recently? What’s going on here, Adam?”

As she spoke, Riley took a step closer to Adam.

“What exactly are you up to? I’m your wife.

Faced with Riley’s questioning, Adam tugged at his tie irritably and snapped, “You don’t need to know.

Then he threw the bundle of Lilies to me.

“But Adam bought these for you.

What if he finds them in the trash?”

Riley seemed completely unfazed.

“Don’t worry.

He won’t notice.

”

I pursed my lips and felt even more strange.

Something wasn’t right here.

Didn’t Riley love her husband? Why was she acting so strange today? Not only was she cold, but she even wanted to throw away the flowers Adam had bought for her.

After some slight hesitation, I cleared my throat and asked carefully,

“These flowers are beautiful.

Are you sure you want to throw them away?”

Riley sighed, looking tired.

“I’m allergic to lilies, and so is Luca.
