“Of course, I care about him. Again, he’s the father of my kid.”
“I think it goes deeper than that.”
“I think you’re an agent not a therapist, so you should stay in your lane.”
He laughed. “Noted.”
Before I knew what I was asking, I blurted, “Did Jax really have you look for me?”
If my question surprised him, he didn’t show it. “For an entire month.”
“Why?”
“What do you mean?”
“Why did he have you look for me?”
“Isn’t it obvious?”
I shook my head, waiting for a reply.
“He’s in love with you.”
“Jax doesn’t know the meaning of the word, so try again.”
“You’d be surprised how much he knows the meaning of that word.”
“That was vague. How about you elaborate for me?”
“Maybe instead, you should just ask him. He is your husband.”
“Fake husband.”
“Either way, you’re legally married. You have a right to know.”
“Or you can just tell me.”
“It’s not my story to tell, Sophie.”
I sighed. “So now there’s a story?”
“There’s a lot you don’t know.”
“Can you please stop with the cryptic messages and just tell me?”
“Jax will tell you when he’s good and ready.”
“Now you’re freaking me out. Is it bad?”
“It was for a while, but he worked it out. He’s a good man. You’re lucky to have him as the father of your son. Jax doesn’t turn his back on family. He’s very loyal to the ones he loves.”
“Loyal isn’t a word I’d use in reference to him.”
“What would you use?”
“Cheater. Asshole. Liar. Heartbreaker. Those are just to name a few.”
“Quite the labels you have there, Sophie.”
