Had he been nervous because he thought I was going to force him to marry me , or because he thought I found out that he was going to marry his secretary , Jenny Stone ? I brought you your favorite cake from that bakery you like .
Do you want to have it now ? Isaac asked .
For a while now, Isaac would always come home from work with a delicious snack for me .
Even though most of the things he brought back didnt suit my palate , his gesture made me feel giddy with love .
The feeling of being thought of and cared for by the man I loved was far more important than the taste of the food .
But now , as I stared at the cake box , I felt nothing but mockery .
Not too long ago , I saw Jenny sharing several Instagram stories , turning their settings from private to public .
After flipping through the first few , I couldnt take going through any more of them .
Only then did I realize what a joke I was .
It turned out the cake was Jennys favorite and that wasnt all .
All of the snacks and desserts Isaac brought back for me were all her favorites .
What saddened me the most was when I realized that Isaacs habit of coming home from work with a snack for me only began after Jenny started working for him .
Who was he thinking of when he gave me all that food ? Was it still me , Victoria Carter , or did he imagine I was Jenny ? Swallowing the bitterness I felt , I responded coolly , I dont have a sweet tooth .
Sweet things are too cloying .
You can stop buying them for me .
Isaac didnt expect me to react this way .
Startled , he said , How so ? Youve always eaten them .
We had been together for many years now .

If he truly cared about me , why wouldnt he have noticed my likes and dislikes when it came to food ? Alas , it was tiring to repeat myself too many times .
Compromising was easier .
I didnt bother to argue with him .
Instead , I simply said , My palate has changed recently .
