The men at the table, watching her chest bounce with the movement, shared knowing smiles.


    Seeing that Den had no intention of defending me, I lost itpletely.


    I strode forward, grabbed a wine bottle, and held it over Jenna’s head-


    Then poured the entire thing on her.


    As she shrieked, I snarled through gritted teeth:


    “Bitch!”


    Just as I was about to p her, Den’s face darkened. He grabbed my wrist and pulled Jenna behind him, roaring:


    “Sophia!”


    “Have you lost your mind?!” <fn7b5d> ??? ????? ???????s ??? ?????s??? ?? Find[?]ovel</fn7b5d>


    45, 14


    24


    I couldn’t stop the tears.


    Den’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. “Den…”


    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 be 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 Den and me making love, Ipletely broke down sobbing:


    “Fine, Den. Tomorrow we’re getting div-”


    “I was introducing Jenna to Marcus! What the hell is wrong with you?” Den mmed his hand on the table in fury.


    I stared up at him in a daze.


    Den’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 wentpletely nk.


    Only those two words from the text remained: “find out.”


    Just as I was about to question him again, Den 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?
