Facade of Love

Chapter 14 Carried Away

Sweetie shook her head, her face full of disbelief. “Yvette, I can’t believe you said those things just now. Usually, you wouldn’t let Moore get away with things so easily, let alone Idris. But you just left without doing anything and talked like you deserved it. This is so unlike you.”

I knew what she was getting at. I did resent Moore. If this was any other time, I would not let her off the hook so easily. I sighed softly, feeling a lump in my throat. “Sweety, I do want to make life difficult for Moore, but she’s pregnant with Idris‘ child. Even if I wanted to mess with them, the outcome would still be the same. Nothing would change.”

She looked at me, her eyes filled with compassion. “Yvette, you’ve fallen in love with Idris.”

I paused, instinctively wanting to rebut. “Don’t talk nonsense…

“Don’t deny it!” She cut me off. “We’ve been friends for over twenty years. I know you better than you

know yourself. If you didn’t love Idris, you wouldn’t care whether Moore was pregnant or not. You would’ve already turned her life upside down.”

I was at a loss for words. I couldn’t argue whether or not I loved Idris.
