“Boy, are we grumpy today?” Rosa snatched a towel and wiped her hands. “Fine. I’ll run to Macy’s later.”
“I’ll be in my office if you need me. And Eva is hungry.” Liam wanted to call Anderson Cod to find out the progress of his investigation.

Eva clutched her cheeks while listening to the galloping pulse of her beating heart. She was married? To that handsome man? And she didn’t have any recollection of any of it? How awful. She married a hottie and couldn’t remember anything about him. What made them fall in love? How did they meet? When did they get married? So many questions and no answers. How long had they been married and why did he act like a stranger?
She had a headache. The revelation was too much.
Was their marriage in trouble?
Her discomfort turned into full-blown anxiety. It was bad enough she couldn’t remember who she was. It was devastating that she couldn’t remember anything about the man she loved and married.
Eva studied her hands. There were no rings. No engagement ring nor wedding ring.
Why didn’t she wear her rings? Were they lost in her accident? Were they in the process of separation? Or worse, divorce? That would explain his awkwardness toward her. If they were going to divorce, Eva wished for a reconciliation. Liam was the only one she had. She felt so vulnerable right now and she didn’t think she could face it alone. She needed someone. She needed him.
Her train of thoughts was suddenly distracted by a knock on the door.
Liam’s housekeeper, Rosa, came in with a tray of food. The aroma made Eva’s stomach growl. Did she smell chicken soup? She was famished.
“Hello, child. Here’s your lunch. I bet you’re hungry.” Rosa put the tray by the nightstand.
“I am, actually.”
“Good. Then eat up while it’s still hot.”
Eva craned her neck. “Chicken soup. Is it my favorite food?”
“Everybody loves my chicken soup. Mr. Caderyn wanted me to buy you some new clothes and essentials. Do you want something from Macy’s?”
“Don’t I have clothes in here?”
“No. Those are Natalie’s.”
“Who?”
“Mr. Caderyn’s ex-wife . I haven’t had a chance to donate them to charity. Mr. Caderyn didn’t wish you to wear Natalie’s clothes. He wanted me to buy new ones.”
Eva widened her eyes. “Liam was married before?”
“Divorced, child. Three years ago. It’s an old story.”
“Oh.” A pang of jealousy stabbed her. Liam kept his ex-wife’s clothes while she, the woman he was currently married to, didn’t have anything in the house they were sharing. She didn’t even have her wedding ring. What was going on here? “What happened?”
“Natalie left Mr. Caderyn. She’s a bad seed if you ask me.”
“He’s divorced and I can’t remember being married to him. When did we get married?”
“Just recently.”
“Are there any wedding photos I could see?”
Rosa smiled. “It’s best that you ask Mr. Caderyn. I’m not allowed to tell you anything. He wanted to tell you himself, considering your injury. You should take things easy.”
“Sorry. I was curious.”
“I know, child. Have lunch and rest. What’s your favorite color?”
