I walked back to the house with Ben.
“Did you have fun?”
“Yes! What did you and Dad do without me?”
I ruffled his hair. “We missed you terribly.”
He nodded. “I know, I’m a missable man.”
“You are. Now what would my missable man like for breakfast?”
“French toast!”
“Coming right up.”
I made extra French toast for Jax, and while Ben was eating, I brought it up to our bedroom to him.
Once I was at the door, I opened my mouth to call out his name, but stopped dead in my tracks when I heard him say into his phone, “I can’t do this anymore, Evie. We need to talk.”
Instantly, I hid behind the door with my heart pounding profusely in my chest.
Who’s Evie?
“I’ll be in town this afternoon. Can you meet me in my hotel room? I can call the concierge on my way to the flight and tell them you need a key.”
My hand flew to my chest. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
“I’ll see you soon.”
Is this what dying feels like?
But it wasn’t until he stated, “Yeah, I love you too,” that I truly spiraled.
How could you be so stupid?
He told her he loved her… After, he’d just told me all night that he loved me.
How long has he been in love with her?
He wouldn’t tell me the truth if I confronted him. I needed to get to the bottom of this on my own. Putting on the best performance of my life, I walked into the bedroom with his breakfast.
“I made you French toast.”
He stood and placed his cell phone in his back pocket. “Look at you, already fulfilling your wifely duties.”
I wanted to smack that grin off his face. How he could stand there and pretend like he wasn’t just talking to another woman completely blew my mind. Jax always had the ability to charm his way out of anything. Images of last night tore through my mind.
What if I am pregnant?
“Hey.” He caressed my cheek. “Are you okay?”
“Mmm-hmm...”
“You look like you’re going to be sick.”
“Yeah.” I pulled my face away and turned my back to him. “I’m not feeling that great.”
