The Secretive Wife (More Than a Wife Series Book 2)
Page 31
Peter was back by my side as we all waited on bated breath. He placed our son in my arms and suddenly I didn’t care if Belongings was the worst selling book in the history of books. I knew where we all belonged, and that’s all that mattered.
Peter rested his phone on Jonah and I swore my son smiled, and not from gas. Peter stroked Jonah’s baby soft head. “Tell her, son. Tell your mommy she’s number one again.”
I looked up and met Peter’s eyes. “Are you serious?”
He pressed his lips against mine. “Congratulations, baby.”
Before I could comprehend it all, the strangest thing happened.
“I’m proud of you, Delanie,” rang through the table from the most unexpected voice.
Every head turned toward Sarah, but only she and I connected.
“I loved the book,” she said simply.
“Thank you.”
Sarah said not another word on that subject but stood. “Who wants dessert?”
I’m not sure how everyone around me answered that question; I was in shock.
Peter kissed my head and whispered, “See, I told you she would love you.”
“You never mentioned it would take five years.”
He gave me a heart-melting smile. “I never said it wouldn’t.”
