Bullshit. If he had liked me for a long time, would he have let me get hurt and bullied me like that?
I curled my lip into a sneer.
“Your kind of love is bizarre. We believe in being devoted to one person, in easing their burdens. It’s nothing like your fickle version, which seems to specialize in causing trouble for the one you supposedly love.”
Steven’s expression stiffened as if my words had struck a nerve. When he tied off the bandage on my knee, he pulled the knot a little too tight, making me grimace in pain.
I glared at him. He just looked at me and said, “You have clothes in the master bedroom. Go upstairs and change.”
I scoffed and took the elevator upstairs to change. I’m not a neat freak, but I couldn’t stand being covered in mud.
By the time I came back down, Gordon had arrived. He looked utterly shocked, as if he’d seen a ghost.
When he saw me, he rushed over. “Mrs. Lancaster, was your house robbed?”
I glanced around. A trail of muddy footprints marred the floor, leading all the way to the elevator. The sofa was smeared with dirt from where I’d sat.
I said without batting an eye, “Your boss did it. It has nothing to do with me.”
Gordon clearly didn’t believe me. “Mr. Lancaster’s mysophobia is cured?”
I ignored him and seized the opportunity. “Don’t you think he’s changed a lot since his car accident? You’re always with him. Have you noticed how different he is?”
