Rebirth After Being Betrayed by My Husband by Isabella Reed

Chapter 123

Lily, caught completely off guard by her mother–in–law’s unexpected push, stumbled forward and nearly fell into Parker’s arms.

“Are you okay?” Parker asked quickly, steadying her before she could lose her balance entirely.

Meanwhile, Ethan, who had been thoroughly enjoying his little act of pretending to have amnesia, suddenly froze. His amusement evaporated as he watched the scene unfold before him. Seeing Lily in Parker’s arms made his stomach churn with a sour, jealous feeling. It felt like he had just gulped down 100 jars of vinegar.

His expression darkened as his sharp eyes focused on Parker’s hands, still holding onto Lily. Sure, he was grateful that Parker had prevented his wife from falling, but why was he still holding her?

Sensing the piercing glare, Parker turned his head cautiously toward Ethan. The intensity of Ethan’s expression sent a chill down his spine. What did I do to deserve this? Parker thought nervously.

Without wasting another second, he quickly let go of Lily and backed away, creating a noticeable gap between them. Stammering, he tried to explain, “I… I–I… She… she is-”

Before Parker could finish, Beatrice stepped in with a perfectly calm and composed voice. “Parker, dear, there’s no need to be so nervous around your best friend. Lily is your wife, after all. You can go ahead and tell him that.”

Parker’s jaw dropped, and he stared at Beatrice in disbelief. Auntie! Do you not care about me? Why are you throwing me into the fire? Why do you want me to be the scapegoat here?

Everyone in the room, including Lily, was stunned by Beatrice’s sudden declaration. Lily opened her mouth to question her mother–in–law’s behavior, but before she could speak, Beatrice gave her a sly wink.

Lily furrowed her brows, glancing between Beatrice and Ethan. When her gaze settled on Ethan’s face, she saw it—the unmistakable look of jealousy etched into his features. Suddenly, everything clicked. Her mother–in–law was playing along to tease Ethan.

Realizing the game, Lily narrowed her eyes at her husband, then turned back to Beatrice with a knowing smile. She nodded subtly, deciding to join in the fun.

Ethan, consumed by jealousy, failed to notice the silent exchange between his wife and mother. What had started as a simple prank to get back at Lily for ignoring him had quickly spiraled out of his control. Now, he was the one feeling the sting of his own jealousy.
