Chapter 37

Hannah

Thunder crashes over the house in the middle of the night, and I wake up in Tobias’s arms. It’s still not morning, and it’s only been two hours since we fell asleep after our steamy sex session.

I should fall back asleep, but I hate storms. I press my ass further back into Tobias. He mutters. something in his sleep and presses his big palm harder against my stomach, which flutters in response.

I have yet to tell Tobias that I will have another reason for calling him daddy soon. It will be done in the morning. I meant to tell Tobias the big news after the sex, but we fell asleep. Smiling, I press myself further into Tobias, about to close my eyes, but his phone’s sudden light makes me glare at it. A message? I know I shouldn’t… his phone is private-

There is a slight vibration from it, another message, and I reach out my hand to pick it up from the bedside table. My stomach is twisting and turning, knowing this infringes on Tobias’s privacy.

Still, I don’t put the phone down. I swipe my fingers over it, remembering the unlock code. from watching Tobias open his phone plenty of times, and then I see the messages.

Some are from earlier today, and I decide to read them all from the beginning to understand what is happening.

Sarah: You’re a fucking fool.

Sarah: I’m dying, and you won’t even take me out to dinner? Do you understand how selfish that is?!

Sarah: You loved me once, and now, because you married that slut, it suddenly means nothing? I swallow thickly. My heart is thumping quickly, and my hands are shaking at the names Sarah calls me in vibrant letters. I’m skimming through more of her messages, but I already get the gist.

Sarah has cancer.

Tobias refused to take her out to dinner.

But… if that is the case, where has Tobias been? He didn’t respond to text messages for two days. I wasn’t going to bring it up. Like, I get that he might have been busy, but… I’m worried.

now.

I clutch the phone and turn tense when I feel Tobias shifting behind me. He is awake and reaches around me to put on the light. For some reason, that makes me nervous.

Will Tobias get angry that I snooped and went through his text messages? Probably. I wait to see what he says.
