All Chapters of Open Marriage: It Takes Two To Tango : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Scott stared at her for what seemed like eternity. The last thing he expected was for Zara to show up now. She had been avoiding him for the past few years. Even after she gave birth, she spared him no chance to see her child, let alone answered his biggest question. What in God's name brought her here today? With Herculean effort, Scott snapped back to reality and said calmly, "This is a closed-door meeting, Zara. I don't think you should be here!""How are you so sure about that, Mr. Brown? Don't you wanna know what happened to two of the shareholders?" Zara asked with a mischievous smile. A look of dread appeared on Scott's face as soon as he heard that. What was this woman up to now?Zara dropped her bag on the table and took her seat. "Well, the men you are waiting for won't be showing up again. I'm taking their place.""What?" Came the exclamations from the shareholders at the table. They looked at each other in confusion and then back at Zara, who relished their astonishment.

It had been a busy weekend for Zara. While her son's birthday party was going to be held next Saturday, she made all the major preparations at home before Monday came along. Although she was kind of tired this morning, she didn't fail to drive her son to school as always. She wanted to meet his friend and also invite him officially to Jayden's birthday."Pooh bear, you said that Tommy comes to school early too because his father drops him off, right?" Zara asked, glancing at the baby car monitor to see her son who was in his car seat.The little boy nodded with bright eyes. "Sometimes, we play before classes start.""You like playing, huh?" Zara couldn't help laughing. She could still remember how unwilling Jayden had been after his first day at school. "Mommy, I don't want to go back there. Can't I stay with you every day?" he had said with a pout.For a second, she had considered homeschooling him. But when she remembered that she couldn't shield him from the outside world forever,

A sense of dread coursed through Scott when he heard the sober tone of the doctor. He sat up on the couch as his palm suddenly became sweaty. "What is it, doc?""I carried out some tests yesterday. Cora said that Tommy had been stooling yesterday morning, so I had to take some of the fecal matter alongside his blood sample. I carried out some tests yesterday and..." the doctor paused."And what?" Scott's patience ran out. "What did you find?""It seems that Tommy has a kidney infection.""I beg your pardon? What the hell did you just say?" Scott felt he had heard wrong. But after the doctor repeated his words, his phone fell from his hand. He crashed back on the couch as tears stung his eyes.He turned his head to look at Tommy's sleeping face. How could this be? Why the hell was this happening? His precious boy was suffering from a kidney infection? This has got to be some kind of a mistake!With great doubt, Scott picked up the phone again and pressed it to his ear. The doctor was y

The grimace Cora had caused visible cracks in her heavy makeup. Her forehead had wrinkles as if she was some old hag. Oblivious to this, she stepped into the room while shooting Zara a hard glare. "Are you deaf? What are you doing here? And who the hell let you in?""I did!" A male voice came from the door before Zara could respond.Cora turned around and saw Scott holding two ice cream cones in his hands. He frowned at her as he walked in. "Have you forgotten that this is a hospital? Keep your voice down, will you?"In a fit of pique, Cora turned to Scott. "You knew about this? How could you allow her to come in? What business does she have with my son? With us!""Hold your horses, Cora." Scott shot her a searing glare. "How can I explain if you can't even keep calm for a second? Don't you know how to behave even in front of kids?"Hearing this, Cora's face flushed with embarrassment. She glanced at the bed and saw that Tommy and Jayden were looking at her with disappointed eyes."I'

Zara suddenly had a splitting headache when she heard that. She froze and sucked in a quick breath as Scott flashed her an even more provocative smile. She watched him walk away. How in God's name did he find out about George's sexuality? Has this man been stalking her and everyone close to her for years now?No matter how hard Zara tried, she couldn't shake off the thought of being spied on. Scott knew things he shouldn't. She feared for George and his career. As a result, she called him. She told him all that Scott said."You don't have to worry about me, Zee. I'm already building a career here. If Scott likes, he can broadcast the news. Chances are that he will be labeled a fool for outing me. I'm just worried that you will be roped into the whole drama."Hearing this, Zara exhaled deeply. She knew what he went through before he decided to go back to the States two years ago. His mother had found out about his sexuality and they had a big fight. He abandoned everything he had here
