Wrong Injection

Chapter 32

"I was at Milani's restaurant yesterday," Gabby said, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "Her baby bump is stunning, and she's absolutely radiant! You should see her – she's glowing."

A pang of jealousy pierced my chest, and I struggled to keep my tone neutral. "Her baby's father must be thrilled," I said, the words laced with a hint of bitterness.

Gabby's enthusiasm only intensified my bitter feelings. The memory of meeting Milani and her partner at the hospital still lingered, a painful reminder that I had misjudged her. I had thought she was single, that she was different from the rest. But it seemed I was wrong. She was already taken, and I was left with the bitter taste of disappointment.

"Bella told me Dante is just a friend to Milani, a brotherly figure," Gabby said, his eyes piercing mine with conviction. "Bella wouldn't deceive me, I'm certain of it."

"Alright, let's assume that's true," I said, my curiosity piqued. "Then who is Milani's partner? Who's the father of her child?"

Gabby's shrug was accompanied by a puzzled expression. "No idea, but why are you so invested in Milani's personal life? What's driving your curiosity about her relationship status?"

I shrugged, attempting to feign nonchalance. "No particular reason, maybe I'm just intrigued."

Gabby's gaze remained steady, his tone probing. "So, what happened between you two? You were building a connection, and then you suddenly pulled back. What changed?"

I leaned back in my chair, frustration and uncertainty etched on my face. "To be honest, Gabby, I'm still trying to figure it out. The whole situation is perplexing, and I'm at a loss."

Our eyes locked, and for a moment, we simply stared at each other, the unspoken questions and emotions hanging in the air like an unresolved puzzle.
