Chapter 1
My mom was adamant about me going on blind dates.
Desperately, I grabbed a handsome guy off the street to pretend to be my boyfriend.
After using him to placate my mom, I cut ties with him.
Two years later, I was shocked to find that the interviewer for my dream job was the guy I had abandoned.
His face was tight with anger.
"Kaelyn, right? How long did your last boyfriend last?"
"Less than a month before you dumped him? Your loyalty is questionable."
"A woman like you isn't suitable for our company."
But then he found out I got married and broke down.
The day after the interview fell through, he appeared at my doorstep, holding a child.
With a slight smile, he asked, "Married? Where's your husband?"
...
Approaching 30, after enduring countless blind dates, I stumbled into a real relationship with Brenden, the guy I had once pulled off the street to act as my boyfriend.
He was 6'1", broad-shouldered, and long-legged, looking every bit like a model. At just 22, he was a young and charming guy.
Honestly, I felt like I hit the jackpot.
Not long ago, I found out I was pregnant and couldn't contain my joy.
I was planning to tell him and discuss our future when I accidentally overheard him on a call.
"I know I have a fiancée. Don't worry, I won't mess around outside. I'll be back soon."
