My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

Erin pressed her lips together, clearly holding back her thoughts.

Keira noticed and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jenkins jumped in before Erin could reply, "This last one here—her interests are surprisingly similar to Erin's."

Keira frowned. "Food?"

Jenkins nodded. "Exactly. That's why we nicknamed her Pig."

Keira blinked, stunned. Were code names really handed out this carelessly?

She twitched her lips in disbelief, but Erin cut in with immediate protest. "Hold on! What do you mean, my interests are the same as Pig's? I'm a selective eater, okay? I have standards! I don't just eat everything. She does! Anything remotely edible, she's all in!"

Erin gave an exaggerated huff. "Back in preschool, she used to finish off all our leftovers. Seriously, we'd save them for her because she could eat everything! Her mom even showed up at school once to complain, saying the teachers were turning her kid into a pig. Said she was getting 'too big and too chubby.'"

As Keira listened to their chatter, vividly picturing the scene from years ago, she couldn't help but interrupt with a question. "You two grew up together for a few years, right? After all that, can you really bring yourselves to go after each other, fighting tooth and nail?"

The question landed like a bomb, leaving both Jenkins and Erin momentarily speechless.

Neither of them saw that question coming.
