You sent your ex-lover to invite your wife for a double date, Who does that?”“That’s not true, I will never do that.” What is she saying? Why is she trying to blame it on me, could Chloe be saying the truth? “Can you just stop? Do you think I'm a newborn baby you can deceive? What am I to you? A joke?”“You are not a joke
