2 ⭐⭐ - Meh!
He has a very close relationship with ex-wife so much that he forgets their anniversary because he's sipping champagne with the ex.
The current wife has reason to feel insecure because he spends more time with his ex-wife than with her.
I think the story is kind of silly and the motivations of the hero a little dumb.
The relationship with the heroine was based only on sex he didn't trust or opened with her.
If he had trusted her since the beginning of the relationship he would have avoided a lot of headache.
===================
"You'll have to come up with a better one than that! Mr. Lynch is here, but Mrs. Lynch is already with him and has been all night!" he revealed with an air of triumph. So what's new, Emily felt like asking.
Sitting side by side on the chunky leather sofa in Finn's office, her husband and his ex-wife were chinking glasses as Emily, her chin up but her heart breaking, walked in. They didn't hear her; they were too wrapped up in each other.
"No, Don't go, Maeve!" Finn appealed as his ex-wife shrugged on a fur-trimmed coat.
"You put Maeve in an impossible position," Finn censured icily as the door closed.
"You put me in an impossible position when you carried on working with your ex-wife on a daily basis after we were married. I don't expect you not to see her,"
"Are you sleeping with Maeve, Finn?"
"You can't deny you see more of her than you do me!"
"Maybe I just enjoy Maeve's company more?" Finn suggested, the maverick pulse in his lean left cheek working overtime.
"And maybe I've got tired of playing the understanding wife to your selfish husband!" she flung back.
"Maeve isn't the problem here, your pathological jealousy and lack of self-esteem is."
"Yes, I put it on for you, Finn. I put it on when I thought that for once you'd come home when you said you would."
"Maeve has always been a loyal and valuable member of the team."
"Other than the fact you were drinking champagne with her on our anniversary? Let me see…."
"No, Finn, that's Maeve you're thinking of. I'm Emily, the dumb redhead you keep at home."
"Sometimes you treat me more like a mistress than a wife!" she accused hotly. "Is that a bad thing?"
"Maeve told me tonight that Adam is going to have a little brother or sister, hence the champagne."
"Maeve is having a baby?" Please don't let it be….
"Which way did my wife go?" he barked unsmilingly. "Which one, sir?"
Finn had gone straight back to the house he shared with Maeve and asked her for a divorce.
Despite this agreement Finn could tell Maeve had been taken aback by his request.
Finn had been pretty devastated to discover that he was her first.
"I suppose the next thing I'm supposed to do is plead with you to believe that Maeve's baby isn't mine?" His eyes hardened. "Well, news flash, sweetheart. I'm not going to!"
"I am not being defensive." "Yes, you are — defensive, secretive, furtive…"
"Oh God, the dinner party!" she wailed,36
"Don't panic, Maeve has already offered to stand in for you."
"Isn't that nice of Maeve." "Yes, isn't it," Finn responded absently, totally failing to detect the irony in his wife's bitter tone.
