Whats She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 111

It was Finnian.

Kaia answered without hesitation. The screen lit up with Brynlee’s chubby, rosy face. She looked like she had just been bathed and was tucked into bed. The phone was propped against a pillow, and she was resting her

little face in her hands.

‘Mommy, what are you doing? Are you eating something yummy?” Brynlee giggled.

Kaia held the phone up to show her the spread. “I didn’t eat enough at dinner, so I’m having a little snack.”

Brynlee eyed the beautiful desserts, practically drooling. “That looks so good! I want some!”

Kaia smiled. “If you want some, ask Layla to make you a treat tomorrow. She makes the best desserts.”

‘No, I want exactly what you have!” Brynlee pouted, crossing her little arms over her chest and throwing a mild tantrum.

Just then, a man in a gray bathrobe shifted into the frame. Finnian was ying on the bed next to Brynlee. His his eyes narrowed as he studied the screen, taking in Kaia’s relaxed state and the food in front of her.

He recognized the elaborate packaging immediately. It was a famous artisanal dessert brand from a northern city. He knew it because Noelle was obsessed with them, and he used to buy them for her.

Finnian offered a tight, polite smile. “I thought you said you didn’t like eating heavy sweets at night.”

Kaia knew he was addressing her. She replied coolly, “People change. Things you used to like, you don’t care for anymore. And things you never cared for suddenly become your favorite.”

Finnian chuckled softly. “Who bought those for you?”

Chapter 111

Finnian had assumed it was just innocent childish rambling, but suddenly, a sharp, bitter ache flared in his chest.

Kaia was equally stunned. Where on earth had the kid learned to ask something so loaded? Did someone teach her that, or was she coming up with this on her own?

Before Kaia could process the shock, the doorbell to her hotel room

chimed.

Kaia immediately looked at Brynlee through the screen. “Sweetie, I have to go. Something came up.”

Finnian’s expression hardened, his gaze turning cold and unreadable. He glanced at the time on his phone.

It was 10:30 PM. Who the hell was looking for her at this hour?
