Sally grinned, “I just had a fortune teller read Yvonne's fortune. He said the next baby will be a boy.”
“Mommy, why not givea little brother ASAP?” Yvonne said, all cheerful as she shook my hand. “I want a little
brother.”
“Alright, Yvonne, don’t say that out loud. Just keep it in your heart,” Sally said, beaming like she thought I could

son tomorrow.
Jared walked over, and Sally looked at him in surprise. “Jared, didn’t you say you weren't coming?”

wife ctogether.”
“Daddy?” Yvonne spotted him, let go of my hand, and ran over with a big smile.
Jared bent down, scooped her up, and gave her nose a playful tap. “Did you have fun?”

As soon as those words left her mouth, not just us-even Sally turned red. She hurried to cover Yvonne's mouth.

“How about we all have lunch together?” Jared suggested, glancing at me. “Victoria, it's been ages since we all
had a meal out with Yvonne.”
Sally nodded. “Alright, | was planning to buy Yvonne a toy at lunchtanyway. Let's go to the mall.”
On the way back, Jared askedto ride with him. Seeing that | didn’t respond, Sally said, “Victoria, why don’t
you talk to Jared? Yvonne can cwith me.”
I hadn't driven over. I'd cin Sally’s car, so now | had no choice but to ride with Jared.
He didn’t bring a driver and drove himself. When | went to open the back door, Jared was clearly annoyed. “Come
and sit in the front.”
But | ignored him and settled into the back seat.
“So now I'm just your driver, huh?” Jared turned to look at me, looking even more furious.
“If you don’t wantin your car, I'll just call a cab,” | said, reaching for the door.
“Alright, quit it,” Jared said, trying to rein in his temper. “Being your exclusive driver isn’t exactly a big deal.”
| kept quiet. It was still up in the air whose exclusive driver he actually was. Not like | was lucky enough to enjoy
that kind of
treatment.

“What? Are you fantastring that Nathan's the one in that car?” Jared shot back, his words edged with thorns.

Jared tagged his long fingers on the steering wheel Victoria, as long as we're still married, you're my wife.
Nathan doesn’t even get vo fantasize about you”
His words carried an unspoken threat, even without anger. It sent a chill through me, remindingjust how
deep Jared's possessiveness and dominance really ran, always hidden beneath the surface.
“Got it? Nathan may be young, but you'd better keep your hands off him.” Jared's eyes fixed onthrough the
rearview mirror, staringdown with that possessive intensity.
It was both a reminder and a warning.
