Chapter Forty Six

Third Person PO

Marlene stormed into Kayden’s office, her face contorted with annoyance. She couldn’t contain her frustration any longer, and she wanted him to know it.

Kayden’s surprise was evident as he watched her entrance, his worry etching lines on his forehead. “Babe, is everything alright? Are you feeling any pain? Is something wrong with the baby?” he asked, concern evident in his voice.

Marlene’s annoyance only deepened at his immediate concern for her well–being. “Do I look like I’m in pain?” she retorted sharply, her tone laced with exasperation.

Kayden blinked, taken aback by her response. “No, but you do seem upset. What’s going on, babe?” h probed gently, his eyes searching her face, his concern shifting from her physical health to her

Letting out an exasperated sigh, Marlene decided to cut to the chase. “Haven’t you seen the news yet? It’s everywhere and I expect you to have heard by now!” she exclaimed, her frustration palpable.

Confusion flickered across Kayden’s features as he struggled to process her words. “What news are you talking about, Marlene?” he asked, his voice tinged with curiosity and growing worry.

Marlene’s voice rose in anger as she snapped, “Amber got remarried to Richard Romero, and you don’t even seem to care!” The disbelief in her voice was palpable.

A realization dawned on Kayden’s face, and he nodded slowly. “Oh yes, I saw the news,” he admitted quietly, his eyes dropping slightly.

Marlene’s surprise grew, her tone in disbelief. “So you already knew about it, and yet, you’re so calm? How can you be calm about this, Kayden?” she demanded, her frustration escalating.

Kayden let out a sigh, his gaze meeting Marlene’s. “What did you expect me to do, Marlene? It’s Amber’s choice, and I can’t control that. I honestly don’t care who that good–for–nothing marries or whatever she’s up to,” he retorted in an irritated tone.

Marlene rolled her eyes, her frustration evident Well eveuse me but forgive me if I find it hard
