When we returned home after finishing the IV, it was already dark outside. Worried that she wouldn’t take care of herself for the next couple of days, I decided to stay at her place.
The next day, during breakfast, Jane glanced at me several times furtively. I chuckled, “What’s up?”
“Well, it’s just… it’s just… Jane hesitated, then brought herself together. “The night Ryan took the aphrodisiac, your phone suddenly died. I didn’t get a chance to ask you about it later.”
I didn’t understand. “Ask me about what?”
She smiled and leaned in, asking. “Did you guys do it? With that drug, is it really long–lasting and powerful?”
I was having cereals and choked instantly. Although I already knew she had an outspoken personality, she still caught me off guard.
I coughed several times, pretending to be calm. “No, we didn’t do anything.”
She handed me a few pieces of tissues, looking skeptical. “Really?”
“Of course not. I’m still in the first three months of pregnancy. How could we?”

“Finish your meal!”
“Well, that confirms it!”
“Jane, shut that big mouth of yours!” I handed her a loaf of bread, but she managed to suppress her laughter. “Okay, okay, I’m sorry.”
She swallowed the pumpkin and suddenly said, “Come to think of it, Ryan still has some merits.”
“Why?”

I couldn’t look her in the eye after the first half of her statement, but the second half made sense.
But none of this was my concern anymore.
I reminded myself to treat him as my soon–to–be ex–husband and not let my emotions get stirred up because of him again.
“Don’t you know? Jessica has been widely criticized.” Jane leaned over, showing me the gossip group chat from work. “Many people know about her pregnancy now, and the comments are brutal. Look.” “Damn, I thought she might become Mr. Frost’s wife. Now she’s just a mistress, and she’s even got a child.
