Divorce to Destiny: Reclaiming My CEO Husband by Anney GW

My CEO 253

253 Where's Jayden? (Winona)

I haven't heard from Jayden since he left. It's been all morning, and I've sent him a text, but no reply. I don't want to overthink it, but I can't help the creeping worry.

Is he somewhere deciding he doesn't want to marry me after all?

My stomach is in knots with my mind spiraling through all the possible reasons for his silence. But going about my normal day is the way I deal with anxiety. One foot in front of the other.

I've taken Abby for her morning school session then her time with Judy. Now I'm going to see Henry before I head to the office for a couple of hours.

Jayden's been at the hospital with Henry, thinking things through. At least, that's what I tell myself. After what happened through the night, I'm not sure what to think anymore. His dreams, the way he called out her name-it's all too much to process.

Arguing is the last thing I wanted this week. I'll give him the rest of the day and then I'll call. Hopefully he'll be at the hospital.

For now, I'll focus on what I can control. I'll visit with Henry. I have to trust that Jayden will come back to me, that we'll work through this together. We've made promises. Sticking it out, even when things get tough, is one of them.

1 know I need to give him the space he needs.

I drive to the hospital to see Henry, hoping Jayden is there, and I can tell him I want to work through it with him. I want for better or for worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health. With him.

I might be stupid, but the heart wants what the heart wants. I can't stop loving Jayden. Even when things feel uncertain, even when I'm scared, I can't imagine a life without him.

When I ask the nurse, she says Jayden left about an hour ago. My heart sinks a little, but I try not to let it

be home for dinner with the kids. I'm sure he
