Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

“Must you always throw insults at me?” Josue snapped back, clearly agitated. “Guess again!”

Bryan’s response was sharp and unforgiving. “What is it then? Picked a day to die? Found a girlfriend? Decided to tie the knot?”

“None of those,” Josue replied, dismissing all the guesses in one quick breath.

Josue couldn’t contain his excitement. “Yes! I’m about to be a godfather! The baby hasn’t been born yet. The mother is a single mom, and I’ll be the godfather as soon as the child arrives.”

Somehow, a wave of unease washed over Bryan. He didn’t say anything in response.

Josue’s enthusiasm bubbled over. “Honestly, I’m kind of thrilled to play the dad role. I’m not sure if it’s going to be a boy or a girl, but I’ve always wanted a daughter.”
