Over the past month, Maja had noticed that Ian had been sneaking out at night, claiming he was working overtime.
It was the same story tonight.
Frowning, Maja called Jeff to inquire about Ian's overtime hours.
There was a noticeable pause in Jeff's voice.
"Ma'am, the boss has been really buckling down lately, wrapping everything up during the day. There's been no need for any overtime at night."
A lump formed in Maja's throat. It wasn't that she was overly clingy with Ian, but for three consecutive nights, he had stayed out for a couple of hours each time, claiming work commitments. It was enough to set off alarm bells for her.
Now, with Jeff's confirmation, Maja's mind raced with the stories she'd read online.
The time when a wife is pregnant is often when husbands are most likely to stray.
Men who cheat during their partner's pregnancy are the lowest of the low.
Maja believed she knew Ian well enough to be sure he wouldn't do such a thing.
But why would he lie? It was all too suspicious.
She had Jeff track Ian's location, which turned out to be a coffee shop.
Not just any coffee shop, but a pricey, well-known one in Greenfield.
She immediately drove herself there.
This coffee shop was one of the rare ones with a membership policy, known for its discretion, which made it a hotspot for celebrities.
The private booths were especially secluded. Why would Ian meet someone here?
At the reception, Maja checked his spending history and sure enough, he'd been coming here for the last three nights.
Her heart raced. Despite her resolve to trust him, everything seemed far too dubious now.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
