Chapter 47: How Long Has This Been Going On?

My jaw dropped as I took in what he just said. “And you cheated on Elsa. So what does that mean? That I can’t trust you?”

“I said I do trust you. But you’re not the one having to watch me with her pretending we’re still a happy couple. You have any idea what this is doing to me?”

“You heard your baby’s heartbeat?”

He was quiet for a moment as I clutched my heart, feeling the suffocating boulder at my throat. “He told you?”

“I said I was happy about hearing the news. They’d told us the heartbeat sounded irregular, but after further testing, everything’s fine,” he explained but still sounded on edge. “I was amicable because I was grateful. She didn’t have to call and let me know. She could’ve made me wait until the next appointment.”

“He said you’re changing your ring tone for Elsa to the heartbeat.”

“What? I never said that.”

“He said he overheard you tell her that.”
