Chapter 65: Not today

"Ethan talked to me today."

Beside Alexandra, Caleb immediately sat up much straighter than usual, his body became tensed. He reached for the remote, turning off the television and the place became silent in an instant. He turned to face her, matching her gaze as he gave her his full attention. His dark eyes were wide and he had one hand on her thigh, he could feel his heart beating faster at that moment as the different possibilities flooded his mind.

"What? What did he say? Did he give you any trouble?" He asked, throwing question after question, immediately concerned about her encounter with her ex-husband. He was worried that he might say or do something to harm her.

She shook her head lightly. "He found out that I faked my pregnancy and confronted me about it earlier today," she announced matter of factly like it was nothing, as she appeared unfazed.
