“What the hell is this supposed to mean?”Rafe stared at the message on his phone, his eyebrows drawn together.How well do you really trust your wife?He read it again, wondering who would have the nerve to send him something so ridiculous.“Some people really have nothing better to do.”He placed the phone on his desk and returned his attention to the document on his laptop.Less than a minute later, he picked it up again.The message was still there.He tapped the unfamiliar number, considering whether to call.Then he shook his head.“No. I'm not giving some idiot the satisfaction.”He blocked the number and dropped the phone beside his laptop.Jasmine was his wife. The mother of his son. The woman he had promised to love for the rest of his life.Whoever had sent that message clearly knew nothing about their marriage.Rafe leaned back in his chair, remembering Jasmine's laughter that morning.He could still picture her standing beside Ethan's high chair, pretending to be annoyed

“Rafe, if you keep staring at me like that, you're going to be late for work.”“Then I'll be late.”“That's not an option.”“Why not?”“Because you're the boss, and I'm sure your employees would appreciate it if their boss arrived before lunchtime.”Rafe Ashford laughed, leaning against the kitchen counter with a cup of coffee in his hand.“Are you throwing me out of my own house, Mrs. Ashford?”Jasmine smiled as she adjusted the little blue bib around Ethan's neck.“I'm reminding my husband that he has responsibilities.”“And what about his responsibilities to his beautiful wife?”“His beautiful wife is currently trying to feed his son.”“Our son,” Rafe corrected.“Your son when he's making a mess. Mine when he's behaving.”Rafe glanced at Ethan, who was sitting in his high chair, happily banging a small spoon against the tray.“Did you hear that, buddy? Your mother has already decided to abandon you when things get difficult.”Ethan responded with an excited squeal.“See?” Rafe said

“Rafe, are you planning to spend the entire evening looking at that phone?”Raphael looked up from the message he was reading and smiled at his wife.“Are you jealous of my phone?”Jasmine folded her arms. “I'm beginning to think it gets more attention than I do.”“That's impossible.”“Then prove it.”Rafe placed the phone on the table and opened his arms.“Come here.”Jasmine laughed as she settled beside him.“You're lucky I love you.”“I'm reminded of that every day.”He kissed her forehead and pulled her closer.“How was your day, sweetheart?”“Busy.
