All Chapters of Secret Marriage To My Brother's Best friend : Chapter 301 - Chapter 310

JENNILangston is right. Our kiss was a mistake. The fake romance is turning real, and I’m not prepared for that. I didn’t think it would happen. Langston and me? Nah.But that kiss was on fire. The tension between Langston and me has been heating up, and I’d gotten to the point that I wanted the kiss. A little too much. Falling for Langston was never part of the plan. This was supposed to be a fake romance, not a real one. Because now there are feelings involved, and that makes this complicated.Langston is the kind of guy I could see myself with long term. I could see us getting serious and quickly. We already have both our parents rooting for us. Everyone already thinks we’re an item. So why not just let it be real?Because Langston deserves a woman who can have the babies his mom wants from him. That woman could never be me. Sure, he has Hayden now, but he’s going to want to hold his future children in his arms as newborns. That was taken from him. If anything permanent ever happe

LANGSTONWe approach Amanda at my parents’ house after our riding session when it’s time to return Hayden to his mom for the night.“Mom, can I please go camping with Dad and Jenni? They said we can take horses to the campsite and everything.”She looks between us. “Are you sure you’re ready for a big step like this?” He still hasn’t spent the night with me yet, and Amanda had planned on him spending several days with me until spring break is over.“As long as it’s all right with your dad, I don’t see why you can’t go. When did you want to do it?”“I was thinking tomorrow night. School starts back up on Monday, and this could be a fun way to finish off his spring break.” I love how he invited Jenni along. I glance over at her. “Would you like to come with us?”She glows at the invitation. “I’d love to. That sounds really fun.”And now it feels like we’re about to be one big happy family, and I can’t help the way it’s making my heart grow warm. I’m falling more for this woman every day

JENNIIjolt awake. The woods are silent around my tent, and I can’t tell what might have woken me up. But my heart is racing. “Langston?”There’s no sound, and now my skin is starting to crawl. I sit up in my sleeping bag and rub my eyes. My phone says it’s three in the morning. I sigh and lay back down. Maybe I was just having a bad dream that I can’t remember now.But then there’s a scratching sound on the side of my tent coming from the outside.“Langston? Are you guys awake?”Neither Langston or Hayden respond, and now I’m getting freaked out.Then as I wake more, my mind clears, and I remember that I’d overheard Langston and Hayden plotting to play pranks on me. I open my sleeping bag silently and slither out of it and crouch next to the tent wall where the noise has been coming from. I growl ferociously and shake the tent like it’s an earthquake. I expect to hear them scream or giggle or something, but there’s only a scrambling sound, rustling the leaves on the ground around the

LANGSTONWe break camp early in the morning and ride back to my parents’ house to grab some breakfast. Jenni is eerily quiet all morning. Not exactly rude, but not warm either. It’s as though she’s detached from her emotions. Like a bomb is about to go off.I’m getting the impression that there’s nothing I can say to reassure her. I can’t imagine how much pain she’s been in as she’s been hiding this big secret. She’s only made things worse for herself by not telling anyone. Her parents would probably back off about her getting married. They’d likely allow her to date at her own pace. And maybe she’ll never want to get married.“That was the funnest campout ever.” Hayden is cheerful and hasn’t seemed to notice that Jenni is more withdrawn than usual.We’d planned to scare Jenni, but Hayden was asleep by the time I said goodnight to Jenni, and then Ronnie beat us to it. It’s not the first time we’ve pranked Jenni on a campout, so Ronnie has gotten pretty good at it over the years.“I’m

JENNII go home and shower, but the hot water does nothing to relax me. Langston’s devastated face is all I can see and think about and it’s tearing my heart out. I scrub at my hair with a vengeance, but it’s not helping me get my frustration out. I feel like screaming. Why did this have to happen to me? If it weren’t for this infertility, Langston and I would probably be together and happy right now.And how I wish I could feel his arms around me. I need his comforting arms, but I can’t have them. I can’t hurt him like this. Hot tears run down my face and mingle with the water falling on me.After my shower is finished, I turn off the water and let the sobs fully loose as I climb from the shower and wrap a towel around me. Because now I haven’t just lost my ability to bear my own children. Now I’ve lost Langston, and there’s no way to make it better. It’s hitting me now how deeply I care for him, how deeply I’ve cared for such a long time.He’s always been there, even when we were “e
