Chapter 422

  Doesn’t he realize his wife is pregnant!

  “Your wife requires your presence. Soon, like yesterday.” I gush down the phone, stomach in knots. I aim a worrying glance towards her, and I’m alarmed to see her panting; her hands splayed on her stomach and her eyes closed tight. Emma’s withdrawn internally and clearly no longer here with me.

  Fuck, fuck, fuck.

  “Is it the baby?” Jake’s voice changes with superhuman speed. Gone is the jokey casual laid back Carrero, and instead, I get that serious tone. He sounds very much like ‘bossy asshole of New York’ and I instantly calm, knowing this version of him will be the one who gets here.
