âRosalynn, thereâs something I havenât told you yet.
The truth is that I made them stop your divorce proceedings.
â
âI know.
â
Debora was visibly taken aback.
âYou already know? Who told you? Is it Brian?â
âNo, he doesnât know anything.
â Rosalynn didnât say anything more and left it at that.
Debora didnât pry, either.
Instead, she asked, âDonât you think you should tell Brian about your identity? You are his wife.
You can handle the matter with Eleanor yourself.
â
She should handle the matter with Eleanor?

How was she supposed to do that?
Should she insist that Eleanor have an abortion or let Eleanor give birth and take the child afterward?
Rosalynn was not inclined to do either of those things.
A complex emotion passed over her face.
âActually, I came here to ask you not to reveal the truth to Brian.
He must not know that I am the wife he never met.
Just let them proceed with the divorce.
â
Debora sighed and patted her hand.
âStop massaging me and come sit beside me.
Letâs talk properly.
â
Rosalynn did as she was told.
Debora Looked her in the eye and asked, âWhy donât you explain the situation to Brian first? I know that he has been living across your place this whole time.
Havenât you become close at all?â
Rosalynnâs fingers reflexively curled into her palms.
âI admit that we have been getting along Lately.
If it werenât for Eleanorâs pregnancy, perhaps I would have told him the truth sooner or later.
But nowâ¦â
Rosalynn suppressed the outrage and humiliation that welled up within her and threatened to spill out.
âI canât accept him knowing that he fathered another womanâs child.
I canât do it.
â
A child was a permanent connection.
If they continued their relationship, Rosalynn wondered if Brian would dip out to accompany Eleanor in her prenatal check-ups.
Would he be by her side when she gave birth to their child?
It would drive her insane to see her husband attend to another woman Like that.
âI understand how you feel,â Debora said in earnest.
âI just want to know one thing.
The truth is that you have feelings for Brian, donât you?â
Did she?
Perhaps.
