Beckett kissed her belly gently and replied with chilling indifference,“She doesn’t know about this and I’m not planning on telling her.Maybe it’s the hormones,but her mood’s been all over the place lately.I don’t want her making things difficult for you.”
“But we can’t keep sneaking around like this.Evelyn’s heavily pregnant,too.If she finds out,I’m afraid she—”
“There’s nothing to be afraid of.It’s my duty to be here with you for this appointment—after all,the baby is mine,too.If Evelyn wants to cause trouble,I’ll just divorce her.”
The coldness in Beckett’s voice when he spoke about me made my blood run cold.
Beckett thought he could divorce me before I did. What he didn't know was that I was already preparing for my own divorce and the division of our assets.
Soon, he would understand the consequences of his betrayal and infidelity.
It would be irreversible.
When Beckett mentioned divorcing me,I caught the way Delaney’s eyes narrowed slightly,a flicker of satisfaction slipping through her carefully composed expression.
“I never meant to take you from Evelyn,”she said,her voice trembling ever so slightly.
