Chapter 594
Jasper frowned slightly, disbelief filling his voice. “So, I’ve been blocked?”
“Bradley’s jealousy got the best of him.” Kevin empathized, fully understanding. Who could tolerate another man doting on his wife like a backup quarterback, ready to step in if things went awry?
“Is there something you should tell her?”
“Let Esther know I’ve got a meeting with Ms. Pendleton tomorrow at 10:00 am. She’ll understand.”
Intrigued, Kevin prodded further, “What’s the meeting about?”
“It’s best if you don’t know.”
With a resigned shrug, Kevin thought, ‘Alright, keep your secrets. I didn’t really want to know anyway.’
Kevin ended the call and rapped on the hospital room door.
Bradley glanced at Esther warningly as she struggled with her blanket. He opened the door and asked, “What else?”
“Bradley, what do you both want for dinner?”
“Anything,” Bradley replied indifferently.
Kevin retreated, saying, “In that case, you can order your own takeout.”
He had genuinely wanted to do something nice for Bradley and Esther. But if Bradley was ungrateful, what more could he do?
“Esther, what would you like to eat?”
Bradley forcefully ushered Kevin out of the room before he could pass on Jasper’s message. Determined not to be outmaneuvered again, Kevin paused and texted Esther.
Kevin: [Tomorrow, 10:00 am., meeting with Ms. Pendleton.]
Bradley snatched Esther’s phone when it buzzed and read the text. “Who’s Ms. Pendleton?”
Esther rolled her eyes and replied weakly, “Mandy Pendleton.”
“You won’t be going.”
Bradley fired off a text to Kevin.
[She won’t make it.]
Confused, Kevin responded: [???]
