Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 929

Jett shook his head. “Bah, don’t bother. This is a pretty nice place to stay, anyway. See? It’s got two bedrooms and sh*ts. One for each of us. I might even crash here whenever it’s convenient,” he said. “And really, there is no need to go to work, you. My work is enough for both of us, at least before that kid comes out. But that’s a question for some other time; we might not have a future, but the kid’s mine, so don’t worry too much and follow what I say. Hey, if we look past the fact that we aren’t staying together, I think we can pull off this husband-wife thing pretty fine.”

A pang shot through Tanya’s chest, as though a wall closing around her heart had crumbled and crashed. For the first time, she considered Jett carefully… and found that her yearning for Jackson diminished.

In a split second, she wished the arrangement between her and Jett were consensual—bona fide, genuine. She wanted a family of her own, but none of this was real. They were just foams atop turbulent waves.

That abrupt, pressing lump in her chest was making it a little harder to breathe. “I… I’m running out of gauze,” she announced. “I’m going to head to the pharmacy downstairs and buy more… and other meds, too. I think these injuries aren’t gonna heal within this short period.”

With that, she scrambled out of the room, only drawing out a long breath when she reached the end of the stairs.

While in the pharmacy, Tanya caught a familiar figure inside the store, causing her to panic. She spun on her heels and was about to move away when the voice called out, “Hey, why are you buying a roll of gauze? Are you hurt?”

She halted her steps and feigned casualness before turning to face Eric. “Oh, no. Prepping for emergencies. You?”

Eric raised his hand before walking toward the cashier. “I accidentally cut my finger with a paper cutter. Here to buy some band-aids.”

Tanya was cognizant that this was as far as the conversation was going to take. Frankly, she was already warmed by the fact that Eric reached out to her out of genuine concern. She should not ask for more. Besides, she could not risk letting Eric know that Jett was currently at her place. That sort of information would cause a landslide of secrets being unraveled.

That was the other reason why Tanya wanted to move out of her current residence: Eric’s company was nearby. She was worried that he might find out about her secrets, but Jett had just shot that idea down, so she had to abandon it, too.
