Housewife Gone Wild by Thanddeus Embereley novel Chapter 63

Chapter 63

“Sorry, I’ve got to head home. My daughter’s there alone, and she gets scared.” I wasn’t going to have a late–night bite with another guy just to get back at Jared for running off overseas with Tracy.

Nathan looked kind of let down. But after I said no, he looked at me with even more clarity in his eyes, like he respected my

decision.

“Alright. Get home safe,” he said gently.

I turned around and walked to my car. As I drove past him, he stood by his car, just watching me leave. I lied. But I still think I did the right thing.

Jared had no sense of morals. He disrespected our marriage. I had to prove I wasn’t like him. Although I didn’t mind Nathan setting up this little “coincidental” meet–up, I knew I wanted my next relationship to start when I was officially single.

I couldn’t start a relationship with him while I was still married on paper, especially when there was no future for us. That just wouldn’t be fair.

By the time I got home, it was already past ten. The nanny heard me come in and asked if I wanted anything to eat. I told her to go ahead and rest.

Upstairs, my phone rang. It was Jared calling from abroad. “You didn’t bring Yvonne home today?” he asked right away.

I stayed calm. “I called her, but she didn’t answer. Mom said I should leave it alone for a few days.”

“So just because Mon told you to stay out of it, you did?” Jared got mad, like I knew he would. “Don’t forget, you’re her mother. It’s fine to focus on work during the day, but once you’re off, your kid should come first.”

“I’ll pick her up from school tomorrow afternoon.” She’s my daughter. Of course, I had to take care of her.

“When you see her, don’t be so sharp with your words. Just try to be sweet. She’s still a little kid.” Jared could tell I’d been emotionally closed off. He wanted me to soften up.

“I hear you.” I didn’t want to listen to his lectures. A cheating jerk had no right to talk down to me.

There was a pause on his end. Then he asked, “So where were you tonight?”

It sounded like he wanted to say something else, but then I heard a woman’s soft voice in the background. She was calling his name sweetly. Jared said something quickly and then hung up. The line went dead.
