Connor calmly picked up the orange Leonie had peeled for him, placing it in his mouth segment by segment. For some reason, he always felt the oranges she peeled were especially sweet.
"Your ex-girlfriend's husband is cheating," Liam announced. "We just saw him at the hospital with another woman. Looked like they were heading to the maternity ward. Maybe he was with her for a check-up?"
Connor focused on his orange. "What ex-girlfriend? I've had so many I can't even count them on both hands. I have no idea who you're talking about."
"The one who's married to Hawthorne! No, wait, it was Hawthorne himself. We just saw Hawthorne with another woman at a prenatal appointment. Look, I've got video proof."
Like he'd struck gold, Liam offered his phone. A piece of orange lodged in Connor's throat, and he nearly choked. "Let me see that."
If they were wrong, Connor decided, he was going to kill Liam.
He snatched the phone. There was no mistaking the man in Liam's video. It was Hawthorne. Connor would recognize him even if he were burned to ashes. It was his rotten luck to truly fall for a woman, only for her to be snatched up and married off before he could even make a move. The most infuriating part was that Gwyneth was supposed to be his. She was the one that got away.
"Fuck—"
Connor spat out the mouthful of orange and swore. Hawthorne was two-timing her, and he wasn't even being subtle about it. Taking another woman for a prenatal check-up? What about Gwyneth?
After watching, Connor swiftly deleted the video.
Liam protested several times, "Connor, what are you doing? Why did you delete it? That woman's husband is cheating on her. Shouldn't you show this to her? Get some payback?"
Connor nearly kicked Liam out of the hospital room. "Are you nuts? She's the one I've always wanted!"
With this new worry weighing on him, Connor lost his appetite for the orange. He was torn. Should he tell Gwyneth? He wasn't sure if she could handle it. Telling her felt cruel, but staying silent felt like a betrayal of his conscience.
After some thought, Connor picked up his phone and called Leonie.

If Gwyn gets an abortion I am going to stop reading this story, I believe in pro-choice but come on. Why can't he just tell her what he is really doing with Patti instead of letting her think she is a mistress....
