He Touched His “Bro’s” Chest, I Chose DivorceChapter 1

My husband showed up with his so-called “female brother.”

“Don’t get me wrong, sister-in-law, I just thought eating alone was too boring, so I came to join you two.”

“I grew up with Jason Miller. I even bought the condoms you used the first time you slept together. I know exactly how many times you did it that night!”

I froze, my mind going completely blank.

He was saying such private things out loud?

Seeing my displeasure, Jason quickly explained:

“I’m not good at expressing myself. If it weren’t for Emily Brooks giving me advice, I wouldn’t have been able to win you over. Telling her these details was just so she could help me evaluate my performance!”

Emily chimed in:

“Exactly! I’m not interested in Jason. I know every little thing about him, and even if something were to happen, it wouldn’t be with you!”

…

People around us were staring at me with strange looks.

Especially the waiter waiting to take my order—he looked at me with an expression that said big city drama.

My toes curled with embarrassment.

Jason finally realized Emily’s words were inappropriate in public. He patted her shoulder.

“Alright, sit across from me.”
