Jessica had only known Tyler for a few months, while Noah had known that man for years. Even though the two men weren't always together, their bond remained strong, even fate seemed to support them because it finally brought them together again after years of separation.
That was why Jessica couldn't compare herself to her husband when it came to Tyler, and maybe that was the reason why she could guess that Tyler wouldn't just let Noah go even if she came in between them.While Jessica's mind was preoccupied with her insecurities, she suddenly gasped when her hand in her lap was suddenly enveloped in warmth. When she turned her gaze to the left, she could see the warm hand belonged to Tyler.However, the warmth only enveloped her hand for a moment because Tyler immediately withdrew his hand before using it again to support his other hand gripping the steering wheel.“I'm right-handed, so I can't use my left hand to drive for too long. That's wShe assumed her husband was already at her in-laws' house when she arrived there. The house was even smaller than her parents' house. Even the front yard was small, which was why she could only park her car on the side of the road. The living room was directly connected to the dining room, and the kitchen was only separated by a cupboard from the dining table. That was why Jessica could catch a glimpse of her mother-in-law's back while the older woman was preparing something in the kitchen. The woman said that the last dish was not finished yet, and that was the reason why she asked the two people to wait for her at the dining table while she finished the dishes. “Are you driving alone from your company?” Noah asked his wife at the dining table, and from the low volume of voice he just used, Jessica knew that he intended to talk only to her without his mother hearing. "Of course," Jessica lied, looking away from the man sitting next to her. “I
Jessica was more silent when she heard Noah's words than when she heard Kelly's question. 'Why did you end up blaming me? You're the infertile one, so why are you blaming me instead?' Gritting her teeth, she really wanted to scream at her husband, but she held it in because her mother-in-law was sitting right across from her. Her blue eyes continued to stare intently at the man sitting next to her, and the man also returned her gaze this time. But, her opinion a few months ago was correct that Noah's entire existence was made of shamelessness. The man didn't look embarrassed at all after voicing that absurd statement, and he could still look at her with confidence. Jessica couldn't believe that her husband's true color was too black, but before she could say anything, she heard Kelly speak again, “You can't blame your wife like that, Noah! If there are any problems in your married life, you should discuss them with her instead of blaming her like that!”
Noah and Kelly hurriedly followed Jessica to the bathroom in the house, and they could see how Jessica vomited in the sink. Kelly looked worried as she stood slightly behind the blonde before using her hand to massage the nape of the woman's neck to help her release all that she wanted to let out. “What's wrong with you? Does the food I cook taste bad?” Looking guilty, Kelly asked the blonde woman. Jessica didn't answer immediately because she still didn't feel relieved after taking the grilled chicken out of her mouth. She ended up emptying everything from her stomach just because of the taste of the grilled chicken, but she actually wanted to say that the chicken didn't taste bad at all. On the contrary, the dish was still delicious as usual, but it made her stomach feel uncomfortable after her tongue tasted it. “It doesn't taste bad…” Jessica finally managed to come up with a weak answer because she didn't want her mother-in-law to misunderstand. “It
Jessica felt a sense of deja vu when she slowly opened her eyes and was immediately greeted by a white ceiling. “Am I in a hospital again?” She muttered to herself as she remembered that she also saw a similar ceiling not long ago. At that time, she suddenly fainted in her office, and Tammy immediately took her to a hospital. That day, she finally discovered the truth about her condition, and she was so shocked that she even took a week off just to reorganize her jumbled thoughts. Unfortunately, even after a week had passed, her mind was still chaotic, and it got worse when she was suddenly invited to dinner at Noah's mother's house tonight. "Right. I should be at his mother's house, right? Why am I at the hospital instead?" “You're here because you passed out again, you idiot!” Jessica's body jolted when she heard a familiar voice. Previously, she only saw a white ceiling because she was lying in a hospital bed, but then she turned
Their parents probably thought that Noah was too shocked and needed to process everything before he could truly feel the overflowing happiness in his heart because of the good news. They probably also thought that Noah wanted to be alone with his wife so that the two of them could celebrate the good news in private, and that was why they left the ward without hesitation after hearing the man's request. Currently, there were only Jessica who was still lying on the hospital bed, and Noah who was still standing next to the bed in the ward. The air between them felt tight and oppressive, and Jessica even felt fear in her heart when the man didn't say anything. "Who is the father?" Noah's deep voice finally broke the silence in the room. Jessica didn't look surprised by the question. After all, she already suspected that the man chose to stay with her alone in the room not because he wanted to celebrate the good news, but instead, he surely wanted
She felt like the antagonist in this cheap drama. First, she played with another man behind her husband's back until she became pregnant, and second, she even deliberately forced her husband to play with her in order to protect her father's health. She even used the land in Wisconsin as a bargaining chip, knowing that Noah was tempted by it from the start. She was even willing to give up everything as long as her father didn't suddenly have a heart attack and leave the world forever, and her strategy worked because Noah agreed to cooperate with her this time. However, before she could get a “yes” from him, she needed to convince him first. Noah kept asking her about the father of her child, and she just answered that the man who got her pregnant was just a one-night stand, and that man definitely wouldn't care even if she ended up getting pregnant because of him. When Jessica stated that answer, she looked so confident and didn't even try to avoid Noah'
"What? Why does your wife have to live here again, Noh? Doesn't she already have her own place?" Finally, Tyler couldn't hide his surprised expression when he asked the questions. Jessica thought the black-haired man had managed to hide his emotions well since he noticed her presence in the apartment. Tyler could focus on Noah without glancing at her, and that was enough to prove that the man was a good actor who managed to hide everything behind the thick curtain of his heart. However, after hearing Noah say that she would live in his apartment again starting today, Tyler could no longer hide his surprised expression. "That's because her parents told me to look after her. I hope you can understand, Tyle," Noah answered. “That's nothing new, right?" Tyler asked again, didn't seem to be satisfied with his boyfriend's answer. "You're her husband, and this definitely isn't the first time her parents have asked you to do something like that, right
Noah was forced to leave his apartment after he received a call from work, reminding him that there would be an important meeting that he shouldn't miss today, and that's why he hurriedly changed his clothes before leaving the apartment. However, before he left, he answered Tyler's question, "As I said before, nothing will change even if Jessica gets pregnant, and nothing will change even if she starts living here again. You will still sleep with me in the master bedroom, and she will use the guest room.” That was Noah's firm decision before he pressed his lips to Tyler's forehead and immediately left the apartment. Everything happened so quickly right before Jessica's eyes, but Jessica didn't say anything because she had expected everything. When she agreed to go back to Noah's apartment again, she suspected that Noah wouldn't kick Tyler out of his place for various reasons. One reason was the fact that Noah loved Tyler with all his heart and didn't wa
