Chapter 2 I couldn't stop the tears . Declan's expression was vicious , his eyes cruel . [ ] He'd never looked at me like this before I stared directly at him , my whole body shaking , " Declan ... " I pointed at Jenna : " You're yelling at me over this bitch ? All my grievances came flooding out Morning sickness had kept me awake all night , and eating had become torture . ] In just two months , I'd lost over ten pounds . ] And during my most miserable time , my husband was screwing around with our older female neighbor . Looking at the two of them . I couldn't help imagining them in bed together . Mixed with memories of Declan and me making love , I completely broke down sobbing: " Fine , Declan . Tomorrow we're getting div- " ] " I was introducing Jenna to Marcus ! What the hell is wrong with you ? " Declan slammed his hand on the table in fury . ] ] I stared up at him in a daze . ] Declan's veins were bulging as he looked embarrassedly across the table at Marcus Chen : ] " My wife ... her emotions are unstable during pregnancy . Don't take it personally . " And ... Jenna's a good woman , not what Sophia's making her out to be ... you two should keep getting to know each other ... " ] His face reddening , he avoided looking at Jenna and pulled me along : " You guys take your time . I'm taking her home . " ] ] My mind went completely blank . [ ] Only those two words from the text remained : " find out . " Just as I was about to question him again , Declan cut me off coldly : ] " Enough . Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough ? " Before leaving , I watched Marcus get up to drape his jacket over Jenna's shoulders . ] ] I felt ... confused . ] Was that really what this was ? All the way home , Declan kept a stony expression and didn't say a single word to me . ] He wouldn't even look at me . ] Seeing him gearing up for the silent treatment , I blocked his path as he grabbed a blanket to sleep in the study : ] " What's your deal ? " That question set him off completely . He rubbed his temples irritably , turned to face me , and bellowed : [ ] What's MY deal ? [] " I should be asking YOU that , Sophia ! A whole table of friends , and you pull that stunt , making me look like an idiot ! Tell me ! How am I supposed to face them after this ?! " I jumped : " You didn't tell me ahead of time you were setting them up ... " ] " Besides , Marcus is still single , and Jenna's a widow- " ] " So what if she's a widow ? " Declan snapped : ] ] " You look down on widows ? " ] " Marcus may be single , but he's thirty years old . He's an orphan without even his own place . What young girl would want him ? " " And even if it's none of your damn business whether they work out or not , what you did tonight was humiliating for ME ! " Declan rattled off this whole speech without stopping . [ ] Watching him , chest heaving with anger , I felt indescribably hurt . ] After a moment of silence , Declan said flatly : " I can't communicate with you . " ] " Just ... cool off . " " Then what did you mean by those texts to Jenna ? " I asked . ] When he looked confused , I grabbed his phone and asked again : " What did this mean ? " The phone screen showed the conversation history , clear as day . The p Declan's Adam's apple bobbed . [ ] A flash of panic crossed his eyes : ] " You went through my phone ? " [ ]
