All Chapters of April Fools : My Husband Gave Me to His Best Friend: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

“Tomorrow, you can go home.”Xena, who was sitting on the bed, turned toward Max. The man had just entered her hospital room after speaking with the doctor.“The doctor told me earlier. Your condition is stable enough for you to continue recovering at home.”Xena nodded slowly. During the past few days in the hospital, it was actually Max who had spent more time by her side. He was the one who made sure Xena had no difficulty whenever she tried to get up, reminded her of her medication schedule, and even paid attention to the little things that Xena herself sometimes failed to notice.And Jacob?The man did come, but only briefly. He always came with Hazel. Was he trying to test Xena, or was that simply what their relationship was really like?Xena watched Max as he tidied a few things on the table beside the bed. From the beginning, the man had never seemed bothered by this strange situation. He had also never questioned why he suddenly had to play the role of a woman’s husband when

“Are you sure you’re okay with coming along?”Xena shook her head slowly. “No.”Max continued watching her for a few moments, as though making sure Xena was truly all right. Only then did they enter the private club’s lobby in the city center.Xena usually avoided weekend parties like this. She knew Jacob and his friends often spent their time there. But this time, she wanted to make sure of something once again.“Then let’s go inside.”Xena nodded slowly and followed Max toward the room where his friends usually gathered.As soon as she entered the room, Xena saw Jacob and Hazel. The two were sitting close together, not even trying to hide their intimacy. Hazel occasionally leaned against Jacob, while the man casually wrapped an arm around her waist.Meanwhile, several of their other friends seemed completely unconcerned with their affection, as though their closeness had long since become an ordinary sight.Xena could only remain silent. Her suspicion about how long Jacob had been d

Hazel’s question made Xena turn around. She looked between Hazel and Jacob. Her friend was resting comfortably against Jacob’s shoulder. It looked so natural, as though their closeness had been there for a long time. Then Xena turned toward Max, who had been waiting all this time.“No,” Xena said with a faint smile. “Why would I mind?” She then linked her arm through Max’s. “No matter where my room is, as long as I’m with my husband, I don’t mind.”Max looked at Xena standing beside him.“Come on, Hubby. I want to rest for a while. The trip here was tiring.”Max cleared his throat briefly before nodding. He left Hazel and Jacob still at the reception desk. Jacob’s gaze sharpened again as he looked at Xena and Max, but Max ignored him.Once they reached their room, Xena chose to unpack their belongings. She let Max attend to his own matters because as soon as they entered the room, Max’s phone rang. The man asked Xena’s permission to step out for a while because it was related to work.

Max brushed Jacob’s hand away from his collar, then calmly straightened the wrinkled fabric. His gaze turned cold as he looked at his best friend.“Are you trying to make a scene here?” he asked flatly. “If you have something to discuss with me, come outside. You should choose an appropriate place to confront me.”Jacob clenched his fists.His jaw tightened as he clearly struggled to contain his barely restrained anger. However, after glancing toward Xena’s bedroom door, he finally clicked his tongue and followed Max without arguing.Max led the way to the outdoor dining area of the hotel restaurant, which was not far from there. At this hour, several guests were still seated, enjoying their meals, while waiters moved back and forth with their orders. Max chose a table in a corner, slightly removed from the crowd, then turned to face Jacob.As soon as they arrived, Jacob no longer tried to hold himself back. He stepped forward with a furious expression and swung his fist, nearly strik
