"Every morning, the romantic couple, still deeply in love after two years of marriage, goes to and returns from the office together. Even when Kylie occasionally has to work overtime to finish her tasks, Joe faithfully waits for his wife, relaxing in the lobby. "Aw, waiting for the wife, huh?" teased one of Joe's colleagues one afternoon as he once again found Joe waiting for Kylie to finish her work. "Of course. Unlike you, who enjoys being single," Joe replied, teasing his still-bachelor college. 'Damn,just because you're married, you always bully the singles. Find a partner, will you?" retorted the colleague. Joe chuckled and joked, "That's because you're too picky. Just go for whatever is available." "Seriously! It's like swatting flies!" His colleague left, heading to the parking lot ahead of Joe. Joe shook his head. He often wondered why young people delayed getting married for whatever reasons. Doesn't religion guide men to marry early to control their desires? "Come on,
"Darling, can I go home now? I'll pick you up later!" Joe said, bidding farewell to Kylie, who had to work late again. He mentioned that it was likely Kylie would work until nine in the evening due to some tasks that needed to be completed that night.Despite being busy, Kylie took a moment to approach her husband. She felt sorry for the man who had to wait for her daily. "Sure. Or if you're tired, you can go to sleep first. I'll take a taxi home later.""Impossible, Darling. Would you let your beautiful wife go home alone?" Joe teased, quickly kissing Kylie's cheek. Knowing that Kylie would give him a stern look in response, Joe immediately ran out.Kylie never wanted to display their intimacy as a married couple in public. She considered it inappropriate, especially in the office, where Kylie was always cautious of surveillance cameras.After running quite a distance, Chuckling, Joe looked back at his wife. As he expected, Kylie was giving him a disapproving look. However, a moment
Arriving at the nearest inn, Joe entered ahead and booked a room for a woman named Monica. A stranger who immediately caught Joe's attention in a captivating way. Oh my! Several times, his eyes couldn't help but be drawn to the enchanting figure beside him."For two people, Sir?" the inn attendant confirmed."Huh? No, just one person. Go ahead, Miss, provide your information," Joe signalled to Monica to step forward and fill out the necessary registration details.There was a hint of blush on Joe's face. He couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to be in a room with Monica. Oh my! Joe tried to dispel these inappropriate thoughts as he continued to seek refuge in his heart.Especially as his eyes continued to be treated to the sight of Monica's beautiful figure in her tight mini-dress, good grief, it was a heavy temptation for every man's eyes. Joe pondered angrily while trying hard to guard his gaze."Alright, Miss. Please settle the payment to exchange for the room key," the
"Darling, why are you just coming home?"Feeling extremely worried, Kylie greeted her husband's return with such a question. She didn't even shake hands with the man.A sense of guilt immediately grew in Joe's heart. His wife, with all her worries, was waiting at home while he was momentarily captivated by the beauty of another woman outside.Once again, he sought forgiveness in his heart, especially when the image of the charming Monica didn't fade from his mind, even though now he was facing Kylie – the wife he deeply loved."Darling?" Kylie called, waving her hand right in front of Joe's face, who hadn't given any response. It seemed like something was occupying his mind. "Do you have something important? Why did you come home so late?"Joe managed to regain control of himself. He smiled sweetly at Kylie and embraced the woman. "Just met an old friend, Darling. You took a taxi back, right?""Yes, I took a taxi."They entered the house, and Kylie promptly prepared water for her husb
"Oh my God! Why the rush, Bro? Where are you headed, Joe?" David, Joe's colleague, cursed in annoyance as they nearly collided when Joe hastily exited the office."Oops, sorry, Bro. Haha, I'm in a hurry. Got some business!" Joe replied, shouting as he briefly glanced at David.He was leaving his friend to wonder what was going on with Joe."He's not usually in such a hurry like a demon is chasing him!" David muttered, shaking his head, then headed to the office canteen for lunch.Meanwhile, Joe quickened his pace towards his car in the parking lot. He had to get to the inn where Monica stayed yesterday. Fortunately, it was just a short distance from his office. It would be a pity if the woman were hungry and short on money."Sorry, I completely forgot to give you some temporary cash yesterday," Joe apologized regretfully.He immediately invited Monica for lunch at a restaurant in front of the inn. He explained that he hadn't had breakfast yet because he was embarrassed to borrow money
"Finally done!" exclaimed Kylie, stretching her muscles to feel more relieved. She had just finished her activities of cleaning every corner of the house, washing every room so that her home always smelled fresh.It was Sunday, usually a day off that Kylie and Joe used for exercising. After completing her tasks, Kylie headed to the bedroom to meet her husband. Surely, Joe was already prepared with his workout clothes.However, Kylie was puzzled when she saw her husband wearing neat clothes unsuitable for exercising. Finally, Kylie asked, "Honey, aren't we going to exercise today? It's Sunday! Why are you dressed so nicely? Are you going to work?"Joe, whose hands were busy buttoning his shirt, stopped. He immediately turned to Kylie and smiled sweetly. "No, darling! Of course not. I'm not forget that today is Sunday, and we don't need to go to the office to work!"Kylie moved forward to face her husband directly. Her hands took over Joe's to button up his grey shirt. "So why did you d
"Oh my God! You're so absurd!" Joe retorted, refocusing on driving. They were on a quiet road, so he had pulled over easily to recover from the shock of Monica's statement."How am I absurd? I do want to be your wife. I believe I can live a better life under your guidance. I'm sure because I see, Joe, you're so good as a husband," Monica elaborated, emphasizing her words. Joe, in turn, shook his head in disbelief, wondering about the basis of her thoughts."But there are still many single men out there who would want you, Monica!" Joe, once again, expressed his disapproval. He believed Monica should not dare to speak like that to a married man. Yet... why did he feel a sense of pride and joy when he first heard it? Oh God! Something was wrong with his heart, Joe pondered."I've met many men. Most of them only wanted my body," Monica lamented with a bitter tone. "They didn't care about my job. I want a life like other women, sheltered by their husbands, feeling safe and guided to becom
Joe firmly emphasized to Monica that he did not want to betray Kylie. A sense of guilt immediately overwhelmed him. After returning from the mall, Joe promptly dropped Monica off at her accommodation. For now, that place was the safest for Monica.Joe then prohibited Monica from going back to the karaoke place. Instead, he always gave her money and had already bought her a phone for everyday use. Joe didn't want to label what he and Monica were doing as an affair, but he realized that what he had done couldn't be justified.A shiver ran down his spine as he thought about the possibility of Kylie finding out about his actions. Indeed, she would be deeply disappointed."Aren't you coming in? Although it's an inn, I'm free to bring guests inside! Because people staying here often bring their friends in freely, the owner never minds!" Monica offered before getting out of Joe's car.The invitation Monica gave sounded very tempting, and there was a strong desire in Joe's heart to nod his he
