My Husband Asked Me to Take the Fall for Him, I Kicked Him Away

After dinner, Jayden went to wash the dishes, and Jane followed him into the kitchen.

"Jane, come chat with me. It's been a while since we've talked," I called out to stop her.

She hesitated for a moment but then agreed, "Alright, let's go to the room."

She glanced back at Jayden, and they exchanged a smile.

They were supposed to have just met today, so why did they seem so familiar?

"How's your hospital bag coming along? Jayden must've helped you pack it really well, right?" Jane asked, jumping straight to mentioning Jayden.

My smile faded quickly.

Noticing my silence, she hurried to change the subject.

"Let me show you my hospital bag. Maybe you can check if I missed anything. I'm not really sure on my own."

"Sure."

She opened her suitcase to show me.

"It'd be nice if it's a girl. Here's the baby's washcloth, the towel, and these are the baby's socks..."

Suddenly, she realized something was off and quickly stopped.

The socks were identical to the ones Jayden and I picked out. Even my little mark was still there.

I had asked Jayden why a few socks were missing, and he'd told me they made him feel closer to the baby.

"You and Jayden met for the first time today, right? Where did you get these socks?" I asked, staring directly at her.

I locked eyes with her, unable to hold back the question.

"Oh, Ruby, why are you so sensitive? Maybe we just bought the same ones. Who knows, maybe our kids can be betrothed to each other."

I pressed my lips together, saying nothing. My gut told me it wasn't that simple.
