Zayne shivered. Perhaps he had taken it too far.
"It was an ectopic pregnancy,” Jay told him.
Zayne was lost for words.
"Oh.”
Jay was never ruthless, not when the man merely chose to hide the truth behind protecting Angeline.
Zayne felt his heart tighten and clench. "You idiot."
Jay almost seemed overprotective of Angeline.
Despite her being the mother of three kids, he still saw her as a little girl who would always need him.
Zayne walked over to Angeline and Cole, forcing himself between the duo.
"Hey, Angeline. Why can't you choose a better spot to g o on a date? Look at how many people there are here. Have you no shame?"
Cole smiled elegantly. "Indeed. I'll make sure to choose a better spot next time. Perhaps under the moon and the stars?"
Zayne,
Zayne felt like he had gone for wool but came home shorn.
"Could you stop spending time with my sister for the
next few days, Cole? She's a little busy..."
Zayne merely hoped that Jay could leave the world happy.
"I'm not busy." Angeline cut through his lie.
Zayne’s eyes widened.
"Don't forget, Angeline, that you’re a divorced woman with three kids. Looking for a man is no longer the issue of you alone. Your children should have a say in this."
He spared Cole a glance. "Especially when he'd be filling in the role of a stepfather. I have a feeling your children will reject someone of his caliber."
