Chapter 23 | Years with Astrid: A Novella by Lucy Monday

She had to ask Emily. Elisse hadn’t slept at all last night. Noah’s answers didn’t ease her mind; they only made her rethink what she saw that night, but it never erased the possibility of him having another kid with another woman.

She trusts Noah. She has known him for so long, and he hasn’t broken her trust since. Maybe he did once, when he lied about having a job.. But for everything else, she never doubted him. But what if, she hasn’t found any lies because she wasn’t looking for them? Because she hasn’t been snooping?

She doesn’t have any access to Noah’s accounts — all social media accounts, emails, and his phone, in general. His phone has always been locked, and she never felt the need to ask for the pin. He makes sure to be off his phone whenever they are together, so she never put any thought into it.. Should she be thinking about it? When her friends worried about their partners cheating, when they had to access their accounts to calm their minds.. Should she have done the same?

For the very first time, she decided to snoop. Elisse contacted Emily and asked her about the woman Noah has been with, during the years they were apart.
