Valerie’s POV
Raton walked closer just as I ended the call with Jules. I noticed Jules had something else to say, but I couldn’t risk letting Raton find out I was making a call with Jules.
He wouldn’t hesitate to investigate this time, because he already had his suspicions.
I pressed the phone screen against my chest feeling like I had cheated on him. I still hadn’t seen the reason to talk to Raton about my life with Jules.
I placed the phone in my purse as he reached for my hand, his eyes wide open like he had questions inside of him already.
“Who were you talking to?” he asked, his hands slowly massaging my shoulder.
“Argh… that’s a relief,” I murmured. I had complained about having shoulder pain earlier that day and Raton had promised to take me out for a massage session.
