Accommodating her.

(ARIELLE'S

POV)

I shot Jared a confused look, expecting some sort of explanation, but he just brushed me off.

What the hell? Don't tell me Jared agreed to accommodate Sofia in our home without informing and discussing it with me?

"Agreement?" I repeated, this time, my voice was firmer and demanding. "Tell me, what agreement, Jared."

"Watch your tone, wifey." Jared narrowed his eyes at me before glancing over at Sofia. "We talked about it earlier."

"Talked about what?" My patience was wearing thin. "You can't just invite someone to live here without discussing it with me first. I'm your wife!"

Sofia stood up, her hand still on her stomach. To garner sympathy, I guess. "Jared, tell her," she said, holding his hand. "We agreed that I could stay here until I get back on my feet, and get a place of my own." "Back on your feet?" I exclaimed, incredulous. "You're pregnant Sofia, and not handicapped. You need to be thinking about the future, and not freeloading off us!"

Her face flushed with anger, but Jared jumped in before she could fire back. "Arielle, just listen for a second. Sofia isn't some random person-"

""Well, she is to me!"

"Arielle, stop acting like a child and hear me out!" Jared snapped.

Oh, wow! So, voicing my displeasure now makes me childish?

"Sofia is going through a tough time," Jared continued. "She needs our support."

"Support?" I scoffed. "Our support, you say? How about you rephrase it to, 'your support?' You're not even supporting me, your own wife! How can you just bring someone else into our home without considering my feelings?" Jared sighed, rubbing his temples. "We need to talk about this later. It's been a long day."

"Talk about it later?" I repeated, my voice rising. "You'd better be ready to talk about it now because I'm not letting this slide!"
