Chapter 153

• Oliver wiped his sweaty hands on the bottom of his shirt. After calming himself by guzzling a glass of water and taking deep breaths, he set Tristan's phone back on the nightstand from where he had picked it up, as if he hadn't touched it at all. As he retrieved the party popper from the living room, he wondered what was happening to him. He had never been the jealous type.
• Entering the bedroom, one glance at Tristan's peaceful face revealed the cause of his newfound emotions – Tristan.
• He studied Tristan's face for a while and couldn't help but ponder how Tristan would react if he discovered that he had answered Roth's phone on his behalf. Then he quickly dismissed the thought. Tristan had no way of knowing unless he remained in contact with Roth, which would still give Oliver the advantage.
