Burn Me Once, Burn With Me novel Chapter 596

"Check it!"

Hanley sat up in bed, his hands on his hips, and began to pace around in frustration.

"Frieda, I've already apologized for everything in the past and told you everything. Since you want to check, fine! If you don't find anything, I think we're done!"

Hanley's words were merciless.

Frieda's fingers, already gripping his phone, twitched.

She looked up in surprise, meeting Hanley's furious gaze.

All she wanted was to look at his phone. Why was he so angry?

Frieda clenched her fists, her eyes filled with hurt and confusion.

But a voice in her head urged her on, repeating over and over to look through the phone in her hand.

She lowered her head in silence, her eyes fixed on the screen.

She scrolled through the call log and social media apps. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, except that the last call wasn't a spam call as Hanley had claimed, but a call to Gennifer.

"You said it was a spam call. Why was it to Gennifer?"

Frieda held up the phone, her eyes questioning.

Hanley scoffed. "Your birthday is coming up. Gennifer and I were planning a surprise for you. She just won a set of jewelry at an auction and couldn't wait to call me about it."

He turned his face away, and Frieda's body trembled.

She looked up at the back of his head, and a wave of guilt washed over her.

She threw back the covers and stood beside him. "Hanley… listen to me. I've been so on edge lately, so…"

"Hmph!"

Hanley snorted, all his previous warmth toward Frieda gone, replaced by an icy coldness.
