The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 741

Garrett was at a loss. He didn’t know what to say and stammered, “Laney… Have something to eat.” After an awkward moment of silence, Laney suddenly looked up at him and said, “Garrett, let’s separate for a while. I need time to collect myself.”

Garrett stood there in horror, his face ghastly pale. He never expected the first thing Laney would say to be that she wanted to separate from him. Her gaze was fixed on the baby as she spoke, and it seemed like she was lost in her own thoughts. “I feel that we shouldn’t stay together right now. It is time for us to take a break and reevaluate our relationship,” she said in a low voice.

A long time later, Garrett finally came to his senses.

“No, I don’t want to be separated from you!” he blurted out, rushing forward and grabbing Laney’s hand while shaking his head in anguish.

“Our baby is still too young, and we haven’t even decided on a name for her yet. How can we, her parents, separate now? We can’t do that to her!”

Laney withdrew her hand forcefully before asking Ian to come in and take the baby out.

Once they were alone, Laney pulled out a device from underneath her pillow and handed it to Garrett. “This is the recording pen Kailee gave me. But she has tampered with the recording and it is not real,” she said calmly.

Garrett looked at Laney with a puzzled expression and asked, “If you know that the recording was fake, why do you want to separate from me?”

Laney smiled bitterly as she pressed the play button on the recording device. “Because I’ve restored the original version of the recording.”

The voices of Kailee and Garrett were heard from the device.

“Was there a part of you that felt like you married Laney out of sympathy?”
