Jean came out of her room after washing up.The villa was empty, and there didn't seem to be many maids around. Only Mrs. Spencer seemed to be here.Jean could understand why she was so busy now.After the shower, she felt hungry. It was probably because she had experienced too many emotions in the afternoon and she hadn't eaten much."Are you hungry? Mrs. Spencer isn't here yet. Do you want me to cook?" she said.Tyler looked at her sullenly. "You know how to cook?" Jean nodded. "I do," she replied naturally.Tyler looked at her intensely, then smiled and said, "That's great. You haven't lost your basic life skills."Hearing the sarcasm in his words, she pursed her lips. "What was I like before, hubby?"Were they always on bad terms?Why else would he look at her so coldly?He glanced at her lightly and said, "You never called me 'hubby' before."Jean was stunned. Since they were husband and wife, this should be a common term of endearment.Seeing that she'd gone qui
Tyler's voice was filled with disdain.Jean pursed her lips and apologized, "I didn't mean it. I'm a little rusty. It's been so long since I've done something like this. Please give me another chance."Otherwise, I'd feel bad about owing you so much money."Tyler looked at Jean's cautious expression. He took a deep breath and said in a low tone, "You owe me quite a large amount of money. You can take your time repaying your debt.""But it'll bother me," Jean whispered.Tyler watched as Jean desperately tried to get another chance. Then, he replied bluntly, "Suit yourself."He gave Jean a cold look but did not leave. Instead, he stood in the same spot, observing her.While Jean was peeling potatoes, Tyler took off his gloves. He flashed her another cold glance, then tossed the gloves in front of her.Jean understood what he meant. She picked up the gloves and put them on.When Mrs. Spencer returned with Dorian, they were surprised to find an empty living room.Usually, Tyler w
Dorian looked at Jean with a worried expression. He held Tyler's hand tightly as he asked, "Dad, what happened to Mom?"Dorian had never expected to see Jean here, so he was overwhelmed with excitement when he spotted her.But when she collapsed, he became nervous and thought it was his fault.Tyler noticed Dorian's anxiousness and reassured him, "Don't worry. Mom got hurt previously."Dorian's expression deepened with concern.Tyler had been keeping Jean's condition a secret from Dorian because he didn't want to upset him.He hadn't planned on returning with Jean.But after seeing her memory loss and changed personality, he couldn't bear to let her return to Henkel alone.Jean ended up in this state because of the Jacobses.If she were to return home without reason, they would continue to target her.Mrs. Spencer brought Jean upstairs. She laid her on her bed and gently called out to her, "Ms. Michaels, Ms. Michaels."Jean, upon hearing her name, slowly opened her eyes. The
Dorian heard the hoarseness in Jean's voice and felt uneasy. Gazing deeply at her, he shook his head. "I don't blame you, Mom. I know you didn't mean it," he said softly.Upon hearing Dorian's words, tears started falling down Jean's cheeks once again. Tyler, watching from the sidelines, felt a twinge of sadness. His eyes couldn't help but well up with tears too.He cast a glance at Jean, then left the room.Jean held Dorian's hand tightly, her face filled with guilt.Dorian grasped her hand firmly as if responding to her unspoken feelings.Even Mrs. Spencer got emotional as she witnessed the scene before her. She left Jean's room to give them some privacy.By dinnertime, Jean had gotten her emotions under control. Dorian had been studying Faulkish recently, so Tyler had to give him Faulkish lessons after dinner.Jean stood at the study's doorway, listening quietly.Tyler noticed her at the door. Raising his head, he asked, "Do you have something to say?"Jean pursed her
Jean had probably been in her teens when the picture was taken. The smile on her face was very bright.Although she wasn't wearing any fancy clothes, her smile was pure and radiant.Jean was still living in the countryside at that time. Her grandmother was still alive, so Jean technically wasn't homeless.However, once Jean arrived at Henkel, the bright smile on her face disappeared.The current Jean seemed to have returned to her carefree state from the past.When Tyler saw how Jean looked at this moment, he took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "Why do you want to learn Faulkish? Aren't you planning to head back to your country?"Jean was stunned when she heard that. Eventually, she said softly, "I don't want to go back."Biting her lip slightly, she looked at Tyler."You and Dorian are here. Why should I leave?" she asked.When Dorian heard Jean, he immediately turned to look at Tyler anxiously."Dad, please don't send Mom back," he said.Tyler sighed and looked a
Jean bit her lip tightly and hesitated. She didn't know whether to knock on Tyler's door or not. Suddenly, the door opened from the inside.Right as Tyler opened his door, he was met with Jean in the doorway. She was hugging her pillow.Jean blinked up at Tyler, not knowing what to say.Tyler glanced at her coldly, then looked at the pillow in her arms."Jean, what do you want?" he asked in a deep voice.Jean hugged her pillow tightly as she was intimidated by Tyler's sharp gaze. The sudden urge she had to seek him out was instantly dispelled.Jean smiled awkwardly and said, "I couldn't sleep, so I wanted to come see if you were asleep. It seems that you're not asleep either."Tyler glanced at the pillow in Jean's arms coldly and asked in a deep voice, "Do you want to sleep in my room?"Upon hearing that, hesitation flashed in Jean's eyes. Then, she asked, "Is that okay?"Tyler looked at Jean deeply, saying coldly, "Of course not."After getting rejected by him so blatantly,
Jean's face fell when she heard Tyler's words.She looked at him with disappointment, but the man beside her remained unfazed.Pressing her lips together, she looked at him eagerly before whispering, "I've forgotten everything about my past. Can't we just pretend nothing ever happened?"With a frown, Tyler turned to look at her. His expression was serious when he asked, "You want me to pretend nothing ever happened?"Jean nodded solemnly."Yes."This time, Tyler fell into silence.Noticing his prolonged silence, Jean began to feel anxious. She was uncertain if he was willing to start anew with her.However, Tyler maintained his silence, not answering her question.She asked again, "Honey, do you want to start over with me?"Finally, he replied, "You can ask me that question again once you regain your memories."When Jean heard that, she was stunned.Just as she was about to say something, Tyler abruptly stood up and walked toward his room.Seeing him leave, Jean couldn't h
"You made this?" Tyler asked.Nodding, Jean explained, "I went with Mrs. Spencer to drop Dorian off at school this morning. On the way back, I bought fresh eggs for you."Mrs. Spencer told her Tyler had just undergone head surgery not long ago, but he was recovering well.The breakfast had actually been ready for quite a while.However, Mrs. Spencer said that they shouldn't disturb his rest.Jean was also worried about disturbing him, so she waited until 9:00 am to bring the food upstairs to him.Tyler looked away from the plate in her hand. "Take it downstairs. I haven't washed up yet."With that, he turned back into the room and headed straight to the bathroom to freshen up.He quickly finished, and when he returned to the door, he saw Jean still standing there with the breakfast. The moment she saw him come out, her eyes lit up."Have a taste, honey. I prepared this breakfast just for you."Pressured by her eagerness, Tyler picked up a fork from the side and took a bite of
