The Family He Chose

My daughter was running a fever. When I carried her downstairs, my sister-in-law was already waiting beside my husband Ethan Cole's car with her son in her arms.
Ethan hesitated. “Do you want me to take you?”
Before I could answer, Claire cut in.
“Ethan, it's Zack's preschool open house today. We're going to be late.”
“Besides…didn't we agree you weren't going to help her financially for a few months?”
Ethan looked at my daughter and me as if he wanted to say something. Then he drove away.
Just as my rideshare arrived, a notification from work appeared on my phone.
“You've successfully completed your probationary period. Your permanent position takes effect next month.”
I let out a breath.
It had been five months since Ethan cut off my card.
At last, I could start making the divorce happen.
