Chapter 20 - JESSICA AND DEREKThey did eventually become physical.
After our separation.
That distinction mattered legally and morally.
According to both of them, they first had sex approximately three weeks after the ultrasound appointment.
By then Derek and I were living separately.
I did not consider it marital innocence.
I also did not need to invent an earlier sexual affair to justify my anger.
The emotional relationship existed before.
The kiss existed.
The concealment existed.
The paternity manipulation existed.
Enough.
Their romantic relationship lasted six months.
Then collapsed.
I learned through Lauren, who should not have told me.
I told her:
“Please stop updating me.”
She apologized.
I meant it.
Jessica’s relationship with Derek was no longer my case.
