I Hired an Actor to Play My Boyfriend at a Pool Party Where My Husband Arrived With the Woman He Left Me For – What My Fake Date Did Next Left Everyone Speechless

Another neighbor quietly shook his head.

And for the first time in months, I breathed all the way in.

I suddenly realized Clark was still standing beside me.

Even though his job was technically over, he hadn’t taken a single step away.

His hand brushed mine.

Neither of us pulled away.

Ethan hurried over once Jordan was gone.

“I’m better than okay, sweetheart.”

Clark waited until the last of the guests drifted back toward the pool before moving closer.

“Looks like my contract officially ended five minutes ago,” he said with a crooked smile.

I laughed.

He looked at me for a moment.

“Only if you want me to.”

I felt my cheeks warm.

“I spent months believing no decent man could ever look at me the way you pretended to today.”

Clark smiled softly.
