Jeremiah has also been shown acting friendly toward Kayleigh in the office, which definitely wouldn&#8217;t happen if he knew about the affair.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Even though Jeremiah&#8217;s her fianc\u00e9 and they don&#8217;t really keep secrets between them, this is not her secret,&#8221; Han explains. &#8220;She wants to be respectful of that confidence that she had with Conrad. As far as she knows, Jeremiah doesn&#8217;t know about it because Conrad told her he was the only one that knew. And understanding Conrad, he wouldn&#8217;t want Jere to know that because the whole point was him protecting Jere from information that would hurt him. I don&#8217;t know what good she thinks that would do, to tell him that at this point, as he&#8217;s trying to repair his relationship with his dad as well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Prime Studios Christopher Briney as Conrad on 'The Summer I Turned Pretty'\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/W9tNAaFf.UZ91LvNd1VSCA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MTtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/entertainment_weekly_785\/8e8dd11836fdb6ef8e9bf26656e02a42\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<div style=\"max-height:none;overflow:visible\">\n<p>Prime Studios<\/p>\n<p> Christopher Briney as Conrad on &#8216;The Summer I Turned Pretty&#8217;<\/p><\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><em>Sign up for <\/em><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/forms.dotdashmeredith.com\/ew-tv-inline-offer\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Entertainment Weekly's;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Entertainment Weekly&#8217;s<\/a><em><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/forms.dotdashmeredith.com\/ew-tv-inline-offer\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:free daily newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"> free daily newsletter<\/a> to get breaking TV news, exclusive first looks, recaps, reviews, interviews with your favorite stars, and more.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Now that Kayleigh is going to play a bigger role in planning Belly and Jere&#8217;s wedding, there&#8217;s definitely a chance the secret will finally come out.
