Chapter 19
She thought her cocky provocation would trigger me, but I ignored them and strode to the living room.
Steven “kindly” explained to her on my behalf, “She’s just pissed at the moment. But don’t worry. I’m sure she’ll get over it by the time we come home.”
Zachary chimed in, “Yeah. She might be annoying, but she cooks great food! We’re gonna have a feast tonight!”
Jessica was excited. “Really? Oh, I’m looking forward to it already!”
They seemed to believe I still loved Steven and that I would drag my still–recovering body to make them a feast just to get his
forgiveness, almost as if they failed to notice I had been looking at him like he was a random nutjob.
After they left, I entered the storage room, found my suitcase, and brought it into my room. One after another, my belongings went into the suitcase.
I had to pack up my stuff in advance so I could drag my suitcase and leave once Steven agreed to the divorce.
There weren’t many items in the house that belonged to me. Other than a few shirts in the laundry, phone chargers, and some documents, I stuffed everything into my suitcase.
I opened one of the cabinets and wanted to pack my skirts when I saw a cell phone placed above them. Under the phone was a piece of paper. I took a look at them.
It turned out to be a pregnancy report, confirming Jessica was nine weeks pregnant. So, who was the father? Was it Steven?
As I pondered, I pressed the power button on the phone and saw the screen lit up. It displayed the chat between Jessica and her ex- husband, where she last texted him yesterday.
