Kelly finally decided she was brave enough to confront Sebastian about Leonard. It’s not that she had any right to be jealous. But a relationship was built on honesty. And if she had told Seb about her affair with Luke, then, her husband owed her the truth as well.
“I know about you and Leonard,” Kelly announced triumphantly at lunch.
Sebastian looked up at her calmly.
“Are you angry, my wife?” he asked.
Kelly was stunned at his composed reaction. He wouldn’t even try to justify himself.
“I…can’t be angry. I just wished you’d come to me with this. Don’t you trust me to keep a secret?” Kelly sniffed dramatically, pretending to be offended.
“I really like Leonard. He’s…as important to me as you are. If you make me choose between you two, I probably won’t be able to answer.”
“Let me get this straight-”
“I’m not,” Seb joked and winked at her.
Kelly rolled her eyes.
“I’m serious. You want me to just…turn a blind eye to this? Like it’s not hurting me to know he’s touch you at night?”
She realized that her attachment to Sebastian was more than what it should have been. Kelly married him not only because he’d give her financial security. But because he was her best friend. She truly hoped that’d never change.
“Leo is open to new experiences. If you catch my drift.”
Kelly shook her head helplessly.
“The three of us can form a healthy relationship. I’ll pay enough attention to you and him equally. And the two of you could become closer friends. I heard trios like this are pretty modern on Earth. We could figure it out. I just need your consent,” Sebastian explained patiently.
“And Leo is okay with that?” Kelly couldn’t believe this.
“As long as no one gets hurt. Actually, Leo reminds me of you. You’re both so soft and caring. You’d really get along.”
Kelly nodded thoughtfully.
“I’ll give it a try,” she approached Sebastian shyly and kissed him on the cheek.
“Thank you, Kels. You won’t regret this. In fact, I’m pretty sure you’ll fall for Leo yourself.”
Kelly laughed wholeheartedly.
“We’ll see about that.”
