Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 23

"Are you not feeling well?"

Helen was stunned. She didn't expect that Chandler would suddenly be concerned about her.

Before she could respond, Molly chimed in, "Helly's wound hasn't fully healed yet. Why don't you take her back to the hospital first?"

The implication was clear. Molly was trying to set her up with Chandler.

Helen was speechless. Why did everyone think she liked Chandler?

"Okay." Chandler had no reason to refuse.

"Sorry to trouble you," Helen said with a wry smile. She looked at Chandler, whose expression remained unchanged.

Helen felt very embarrassed. What Molly did just now made it seem like she couldn't find a husband.

As Chandler drank some wine at dinner, he called for a designated driver.

Later, Helen and Chandler sat together in the back seat. Helen unconsciously shifted to the side before moving a little further again.

Chandler frowned at her. "Do I scare you that much?"

Helen laughed awkwardly, "I'm just worried you might crease my dress."

Chandler tilted his head to look at her and smiled slightly. "Is that so?"

Did he just smile? Helen thought she saw it wrong. But his smile seemed a bit intimidating.

Helen choked as she saw his smile. She tried hard to focus on something else instead of Chandler's presence next to her.

She soon fell asleep.

In a drowsy state, Helen saw a familiar signboard flash by and completely forgot Chandler was beside her. "Stop here, I want to eat spaghetti."

By the time Helen remembered there was someone beside her, it was too late.

Chandler stayed silent for a moment, then instructed the driver, "Go back to that shop we just passed."
