The word “almost” seemed to pierce right through him. Wesley walked into the small living room while Jenna stood by the kitchen with her arms crossed.
“My mother told me you were fed up with the house and that you insulted her,” Wesley said softly. “She said you said horrible things about our life together.”
“And you actually believed that I would just walk out while seven months pregnant?” Cassandra asked.
Wesley closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “I wanted to believe there was some other explanation, but I couldn’t reach you.”
“My mother kept sending me updates saying you were unstable and that the pregnancy was making you act out,” he added.
Cassandra let out a bitter, hollow laugh. “Your mother took your phone and answered my calls herself.”
“She told me she had already turned you against me forever,” Cassandra revealed.
Wesley looked up with a bewildered expression. “She did what?”
Jenna couldn’t stay quiet any longer and placed her phone on the coffee table. She pressed play on the video from Mrs. Gable’s security camera.
The room became deathly silent as the video played. They watched Edith drag the suitcase out and heard her scream the threat about the baby.
