What She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 441

Finnian reached for the iPad. The first photo showed the entrance to the amusement park. Kaia was bending down to tie Brynlee’s shoelaces, while Simon stood closely by, holding her purse. Celine stood next to them holding little Anna, and an elegant, sophisticated woman—Simon’s mother—watched them all with a warm smile.

The second photo was at the carousel. Kaia and Celine were riding with the children while Simon stood at the bottom, snapping photos of them. Mrs. Quinn’s gaze toward Kaia was remarkably tender. The atmosphere looked exactly like a happy family outing.

The third photo captured Kaia stepping off the roller coaster. Simon was handing her a bottle of water, and it was obvious he had already unscrewed the cap for her. These tiny, meticulous gestures were laced with a deep, undeniable devotion. As a man, how could Finnian not recognize it?

The eighth photo showed the group walking in the sunlight. Mrs. Quinn and Celine walked ahead with the kids, leaving Kaia and Simon trailing a few steps behind. They were deep in conversation, laughing and looking utterly radiant.

Finnian stared at the final photo. They looked exactly like a married couple taking their children and parents out for the weekend.

Dexter stood off to the side, holding his breath and walking on eggshells. He had already reviewed the photos before handing them over. Everyone in the pictures was beaming, especially Dr. Chavez. Lately, her mood had been incredibly bleak; it was rare to see such genuine, soul-deep happiness radiating from her.

An inexplicable wave of irritation surged through Finnian’s chest. He slammed the iPad face-down on the desk and closed his eyes.

"You see it too. Kaia likes him, doesn't she?" Finnian asked abruptly.

Dexter froze for a second before answering carefully, "Mr. Sanders, as of right now, it just looks like friends hanging out. It doesn't seem like they have an intimate relationship."

"Oh? Elaborate on that," Finnian said, opening his eyes, his voice dropping to a dangerous register.

Dexter chuckled nervously. "If they were really dating, they wouldn't go to such a public place. They would have found a quiet spot in the suburbs where no one could see them... Cough, I mean, if they were really having a secret affair, they'd hide away from the public eye."

Finnian's expression darkened instantly. Hide. Stay out of sight.
