"Olivia, he's gone too far this time, getting someone pregnant and even bringing her home... Wait for me. I'm coming over to back you up!"
"It's fine. It's not the first time. Don't worry," I spoke confidently, adding an aphrodisiac oil to the lubricant and placing it next to the condoms.
"She came to your house to provoke you, and you want me to relax? No way! What are you planning to do next? Divorce?"
"Bitches and bastards are good matches. I'll never divorce, not in this lifetime."
I knew Ethan well. He disliked using condoms but loved lubricants and stimulants. I thought, "After he had that soup, it would be a couple of days before he could leave bed. The things I had prepared would definitely come in handy."
The next day, I watched him take Jessica upstairs, hugging her waist and then quickly rushing back upstairs. I followed him, holding the prepared lubricant.
"Looking for this? I had it ready for you. Take care of yourself."
Ethan rubbed his hands excitedly, took the items, and gently pinched my face, appreciating my understanding. "Olivia, you're getting more sensible."

In the afternoon, after I dropped off the kids at school, a sharp female voice rang out behind me. With a prominently pregnant belly, she appeared boastful.
"So, you just moved in yesterday, and today you can't wait to replace me?"
I spoke sarcastically, feeling no need to pretend to be a goody-two-shoes in front of Jessica. I acted as I was pleased.
Jessica, touching her belly and laughing triumphantly, said, "Olivia, I advise you to be sensible and divorce Ethan... He said he'd agree if you do."
I held my forehead, staring at Jessica's pretty face. "Women like you have been around for years, ten if not eight. Have you seen Ethan divorce? He always just goes back home."
I thought to myself, "Believing in a man's words is like believing in ghosts!"
"Olivia, it's bad news. Ethan and a model have been taken to the hospital." Chloe called, her voice filled with concern. I frowned, looked at the still-provocative Jessica, and said, "I'm heading over now."
"Do you want to come and see it?"
"What's there to see? Don't think you can trick me!" Jessica stepped back warily, touching her belly as if I meant to harm her child.
I immediately told her the truth. Ethan had been fooling around and ended up bleeding in his crotch and in the hospital.
