Her face twisted with irritation. "God, Emma, why are you being so selfish? You never appreciated Jason. You were always running off to your little hospital visits, leaving him alone. What did you expect?"
My stomach lurched. "You’re blaming me for your affair?"
Lily shrugged, her lips curving into a smirk. "You pushed him away. I was just… there for him."
"You mean you threw yourself at him like a desperate slut," I snapped, shaking with fury.
Her eyes darkened. "Careful, Emma."
"Or what?" My voice dropped to a whisper. "You’ll steal something else from me?"
Jason sighed, as if he was tired of my tantrum. "Emma, let’s be adults here."
"Adults?" I let out a sharp, humorless laugh. "You mean like how you crept around behind my back? Lied to me? Destroyed our marriage?"
His expression didn’t change. Not even a flicker of guilt.
Lily, however, smirked. "You and Jason were over long before this, Emma." She held up her hand, flashing the diamond ring. "He chose me."
The words sliced through me like a blade. And then my mother spoke, her voice filled with pride.
"Emma, this is for the best," she said smoothly. "Lily is pregnant. With Jason’s child."
