Encountering My Infertile Husband at the OB-GYN While He Accompanies Someone for a Prenatal Check-up  I had a sudden idea to surprise my husband, but then I overheard the receptionists gossiping:  "Mr. Carlisle is such a good man, skipping work to accompany his darling for a prenatal check-up. He's so attentive it makes you jealous!"  I was stunned.  First of all, I'm not pregnant, and secondly, Mr. Carlisle is infertile.  1 Wearing a mask, I leaned in closer, eager to catch some gossip.  "Ms. Carlisle? No way, he's such a serious guy. It's hard to imagine him being so considerate,"

I Returned My Husband to His First Love pro

I called Dashiell immediately after leaving the office. The phone rang for ages before he picked up.


"Nothing, just prepared a surprise for you today. I'm heading to your office now!"


"Darling, I'm not at the office right now. I'm in the car on my way to inspect one of our branch offices."


"What? So sudden? You didn't mention anything yesterday. I didn't even help you pack!"


"It's an emergency situation. I have to go deal with it."


"Oh, alright. I wanted to surprise you, but you ended up giving me a shock instead."


"Darling, I'll handle this as quickly as possible. Be a good girl and wait for me at home, okay? You could also go shopping with your girlfriends. I've got to get back to work now. Love you!"


After hanging up, I sat in my car, gripping the steering wheel tightly.


The background noise during that call was clearly from a hospital. That kind of commotion is nothing like what you'd hear in a car.
