She became defensive.
“Are you trying to make me suspicious of my own man?”
“Your own man?” I repeated. “You mean my husband?”
“Keep calling him your husband if that makes you feel better. He has already promised me a future.”
“What kind of future?”
“A home. A family. Everything he says he could never have with you.”
I took a slow breath.
“Has he shown you any documents?”
“What documents?”
I hesitated.
I didn’t want to reveal everything I had discovered.
“Nothing. Forget I asked.”
She laughed.
“That’s what I thought. You are just jealous because I’m pregnant.”
I ended the call.
I had learned something important from that conversation.
Nonye was confident, but she didn’t sound as informed as she wanted me to believe.
Perhaps Kelly had been telling her different things from what he had been telling me.
Or perhaps there was another reason he was keeping his plans secret from both of us.
