Edward Anderson heard Bella Scott's words and glanced at her with the corner of his eye but didn't expose her lie.
"I'm so tired, I'm going upstairs to take a shower and sleep, and adjust to the time difference," Bella said, then politely added, "Please make yourself at home."
Edward didn't respond, just watched her go upstairs.
After taking a shower, Bella fell asleep heavily on the bed. When she woke up, she found Kassidy Dean sitting by her bedside, with a sly smile, as if she had something to discuss with her.
Bella scooted back a bit: "What's going on?"
"You lied. I knew as soon as I saw your shifty eyes that you and Edward didn't just run into each other at the Hernandezs' front door. Come clean, what really happened? Did you and Edward have a new affair?" Kassidy let out her guess in one breath.
It's not simple since Bella lied.
Bella scratched her head in annoyance: "We ran into each other abroad, and I lied to avoid you all overthinking it."
