Chapter 50: Abandoned Wife

"It’s too cold," Alexander said softly. "It might upset your stomach again."

I paused, then quietly set the glass back down.

"Where have you been?" I asked, with a hint of frustration in my voice. "I’ve been looking everywhere for you. Nana is asking about you."

"I’m sorry," he replied. "I had to take a call. Shall we head back to the table now?"

"Okay, let’s—"

I didn’t get to finish.

His phone rang again.

Alexander glanced at the screen before answering.

"Hello, Lilian," he said, his tone instantly softening.

The moment I heard that name, my heart sank.

The fragile peace I had been holding onto shattered instantly.

He stepped aside to take the call, speaking in hushed tones I couldn’t hear. When he returned moments later, his expression had changed.

"I’m sorry," he said. "I have to go. Something came up."

I froze. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

He was leaving?

For Lilian?

"What could be so important that you’re leaving Grandma’s birthday celebration?"I asked, unable to hide the hurt in my voice.

"Lilian needs me right now," he replied. "I’ll be back before the celebration ends."

"Lilian needs you?" I repeated bitterly. "What about us? What am I supposed to tell Grandma?"

"I have to go, Alicia."

And just like that, he turned and left.

I stood there, unmoving.

Another woman had called—and my husband had gone running to her without hesitation, leaving me behind to face the family alone.

Unable to face nana, i quietly slipped outside, hoping the cool air would calm the storm inside her chest.

If only I had known...

That stepping outside would become the greatest mistake I would make that day.
