The voice echoed once more, and it dawned on me that it was indeed Loretta speaking. Why was she using Aiden's phone? I couldn't comprehend the situation.
"Is anyone there?" Loretta's voice resonated again. I felt a deep sense of shame.
How could I have deluded myself into thinking that Loretta would never recover and that things would go back to how they were with Aiden and me?
I was foolish to take advantage of Loretta's illness and believe that Aiden still loved me. I am undoubtedly the biggest fool on this planet.
"Who is this? Why do you keep calling my husband? If you have nothing to say, then don't ever call this number again," Loretta exclaimed.
"Wrong number," I blurted out, hastily ending the call. I shouldn't have reached out to him. What is wrong with me?
Ai
