#Chapter 146: Once a Cheater, Always a Cheater

I hoped that Edrick wasn’t too upset with me or jealous. After all, I did just reveal to him that I had conceived our child with him on the very night that my ex-boyfriend and I broke up, which would certainly seem like rebounding. I felt my voice shaking a bit as I told him what happened, but at the same time, it felt better to get things out in the air.

And, much to my surprise, Edrick didn’t say anything about the fact that I slept with him on the same night that Sam and I broke up. In fact, he seemed entirely focused on Sam’s transgressions. It really made me realize that Edrick was on my side above all else, and it made me feel safe with him.

“I-I don’t want to cause a scene,” I began, but Edrick waved his hand for me to stop. With his arm still wrapped firmly around my shoulders, he steered me away from Sam and in another direction, which took me by surprise. I had thought that he was going to march up to Sam and confront him with me, but he didn’t.
