Chapter 2

I pulled Reed’s hand away and went back to my room alone.

That night, Jasper ended up in the hospital anyway. He’d snuck a mango candy.

Kids can’t keep secrets. Even half-delirious with fever, he kept mumbling.

“I want Willow mommy. I don’t wanna go home.”

Every word cut like a knife. I’d just finished talking to the doctor about his care plan and nearly lost my balance.

I handed Reed the notes I’d taken and let out a long breath.

“Let’s get divorced. Let his Willow mommy take over.”

But Reed just laughed it off.

“Kids say random stuff. You’re taking it seriously?”

He looked me in the eye, half-joking, half-explaining.

“Willow Ashford-you know her. I haven’t seen her since we got married. I brought Jasper to visit her once recently. Kid probably got his wires

crossed. Novelty, you know? Happens when you see someone new.”

Before I could respond, Willow came rushing in, making a beeline for Jasper’s bedside.

She scooped him up, cradling him like he was hers, then turned on me.

“Rowan, how could you let him eat mango? He’s such a good kid. Why would you put him through this? Just a few days ago, I had him all

healthy and happy.”

People in the hallway stopped to stare.

“Stepmoms just aren’t the same as real moms. Poor kid. This is why you don’t just up and divorce.”

Maybe she felt my glare burning into her, because she quickly backpedaled.

“Rowan, don’t take it the wrong way. I didn’t mean it like that. I’m just so worried about him. He keeps getting hurt.”

I turned and walked to the bathroom, splashed cold water on my face until I could breathe again.

He keeps getting hurt because he’s trying to escape me. To see his Willow mommy.

From age three until now…

When I came back, I was about to walk in when I heard laughter spilling out of the room.

“Dad, can I stay with Mommy a few more days?”

He said it so naturally. Willow looked thrilled.

Reed didn’t even corrected him.

Chapter 2

“No. Your Willow mommy showing up like this was already risky. I told you-we can’t let Rowan find out.”

Willow firstly bit her lip, pouting.

“Just this once? We’ll stay out of Rowan’s way. I just want to make sure he’s okay before I leave. I only get to see him three months a year. A few extra days won’t hurt.”

Reed stared at her for a moment, then caved.

“Fine. Just this once.”

I laughed bitterly to myself.

I AM the homewrecker now, apparently.

Just then, the doctor came in to ask about Jasper’s medical history.

But Reed fumbled through every single question, stammering and drawing blanks.

Even the doctor couldn’t hide his frustration.

“Does the child have a history of allergies? What medications has he taken before? What were his worst reactions?”

The doctor’s voice grew sharper. “Do you people even pay attention to your own kid?”

Willow wrung her hands. Reed awkwardly texted me.

That’s when I pushed the door open.

“Talk to me. I’m his…”

Never mind.
