Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"So, Noah will work as Jessica's assistant in the Creative Department, while Tammy will get a promotion as a new designer in the Design Department—ah, maybe it's quite surprising, but Tammy has been helping the Design Department in the last month when one of the designers there was on maternity leave, and surprisingly, she did a great job of impressing me. That is the reason why I decided to give her a new position in this company, and of course, her salary will also increase.”
It was Karl who announced it after everyone in the Creative Department arrived at the company, including Jessica and Noah.When the two of them just entered the room, everyone's eyes fell on them. Sure enough, it wasn't natural for Noah to enter the building with his wife. In the past, the man would only drop his wife off in front of the building before saying goodbye, but the man never once entered the building.Questions were popping up in those people's heads, and it seemed liRelated chapters
Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend 162. You Are The Thief
The Creative Department and Design Department were located in the west wing of the building, and they practically shared the spacious room even though a fairly large space existed between the two departments as a separator. The space was often called a lounge because there were several sofas along with tables and some snacks, and this was where employees usually gossiped about various things. No door or wall was separating the two departments, and that was why Jessica could reach Tammy's new work area in no time. In the Creative Department, Tammy's desk was in a corner that felt a bit dark and gloomy, but now her working site was near the center of her new department, and Jessica was quite satisfied with the arrangement. On the table was a card box filled with various items, and she knew that everything in the box belonged to Tammy. The younger woman must have just moved everything from her old desk to her new one, but she didn't have time to rearrange everything
Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend 163. Just Take My Hand
Unfortunately, Jessica couldn't stop thinking about what Tammy said to her today. A thief was definitely not a good person, and since the person who put that label on her was none other than her best friend, she felt even worse. She couldn't even rebuke what Tammy said to her. She couldn't defend herself, and her silence could perhaps be seen as a confession. It was very bad for her because she couldn't even get rid of the bad feeling in her heart even though Tammy didn't continue pushing her into a corner. Even when she was preparing herself for today's work, she still couldn't forget what the younger woman had said to her. “I heard there is a studio in the company building. Why don't we use that studio today?” Her chain of thought was broken by that question, and the one who had just asked it was none other than her husband. She blinked her blue eyes, and she realized that she was in the car driven by Noah. Noah was sitting behind the wheel
Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend 164. I Don't Want to Help You
They finally arrived at the studio on the third floor, and Jessica's sweat on her forehead was as big as grains of corn. She used the back of her hand to wipe it off her forehead, and then her blue eyes scanned the situation in the studio. Her team was all there doing their work, but the models hadn't arrived yet. When she glanced at her watch, she could see that there were still thirty minutes before schedule, and she assumed the models were still on their way. "What should I do now?" Suddenly, Noah asked her a question, and Jessica remembered that Tammy was no longer her assistant, and her husband was the one who replaced her. She also just remembered that she had not told him what he had to do, and that was why she carefully explained to him, “Tammy usually helps me monitor our team's preparations before the photo shoot starts. She will make sure whether everything is ready or not, and if other staff need her help, she will help them too.”
Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend 165. Sincere or Acting?
It had been a week since Noah lost his job at Button Boss and ended up becoming Jessica's assistant. On his first day of work as an assistant, the photo shoot models came from a top Korean boy group called P13R (read: PIER). It was said that the name meant “Thirteen for Perfection and Rarity.” The number 13 in the name meant there were thirteen members in the group, and all of them were handsome and talented. Lately, Korean groups were starting to spread their wings to the US, and P13R was one of them. Their second album entitled "13.13" managed to top the Billboard chart for weeks, this was because the song in the album titled "Many Money Man" also had the same success on that chart. That was the reason EntertainMEN invited them to appear in the next issue of the magazine. Other magazines in the country had invited them before, and that was why Karl was not to be outdone and chose to feature the handsome young men on the cover as well. That day, it was
Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend 166. The Surprise
"It seems like I've bought everything I need," Noah muttered to himself as he once again checked the items in the shopping bag. He had carefully noted down everything he needed, from flour, baking powder, milk, butter, and maple syrup. He didn't need to buy eggs, salt, and sugar because he had already made sure that he had those things in his kitchen, and that was why he just bought other things that were not available at home. When he read one of the old-fashioned pancake recipes he found on the internet, he breathed a sigh of relief because it didn't seem difficult to make. In fact, the ingredients needed were easy to find in supermarkets, therefore he immediately went to the nearest supermarket to buy those items. He went alone. Even after he told the woman he was sincere this time, Jessica still doubted him. When Jessica said that he had changed a lot in the past week, he almost said that what she said was nonsense, but when he thought about it agai

P13R's song "Many Money Man" was no longer played in the kitchen. It turned out that Jessica was the one playing the song loudly on her cellphone, but now her cellphone was quiet and didn't make any sound anymore. The kitchen was enveloped in an uncomfortable silence, but the three of them suddenly smelled something that managed to change the atmosphere a little. Tyler even looked panicked as he immediately turned around to face the stove again, and his hand immediately turned it off. But, it was too late because what was in the frying pan was already burnt black. “I think you misunderstood us,” Jessica answered as she started walking towards her husband, leaving Tyler alone by the stove. “Your boyfriend and I aren't that close, and I just told him to make something to eat. Didn't you hear how I scolded him before? You should think I was bullying him." Noah got a response from his wife but not from his boyfriend, and he glanced slightly at his boyfriend
Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend 168. Five Months Pregnant
Two months had passed since Jessica almost failed to keep her secret. At that time, Noah seemed to want to reveal the truth to his boyfriend regarding the fetus in Jessica's stomach without knowing that his boyfriend was the father of the fetus. At that time, Tyler even directly questioned her, thinking that maybe he was the father of her child. Jessica was in a difficult situation at that time, but she managed to find an excuse. [“Noah was annoyed to see us together, and he just said nonsense. Don't take his words seriously. You, as his boyfriend and someone who has known him for a long time, definitely know his character when he's angry, right? That's why it's better for you to just ignore what he said," said Jessica while trying to cover up the truth. Tyler didn't answer right away, and it seemed like he was considering whether the woman was lying to him or not. When the black-haired remained silent for a while, Jessica spoke again, "And yo

Tyler acted like an outsider when he expressed his opinion, and it surprised Jessica. Suddenly, the man looked as if he was just an ordinary friend of Noah's, nothing more than that. As a good friend, Tyler only wished for his friend's happiness, and that made Jessica confused. 'Maybe he's just acting, right? Two months ago, Noah felt suspicious about our relationship, and we both tried to limit our interactions to dispel those suspicions. So, what he did today was probably the same, right? He just doesn't want Noah to feel suspicious of us, right?' Jessica could only make guesses in her head without being able to voice them. Her head was full of unanswered questions, and she failed to notice it when someone suddenly moved his body closer to her, she could even smell the person's shampoo because the distance was so close. When she woke up from her reverie, she could hear a “click” sound, and she finally realized that Noah was just helping her fasten her seat belt

Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend 240. EPILOGUE
“Mom, are we really going to stay overnight at Grandma's house today?” Glancing in the rearview mirror to look into the back seat, Jessica could see how her son kept swinging his legs while asking the question. His cute movements only showed that the blonde boy was very excited to hear his mother's answer. But, this wasn't even the first time Shane had asked that question, and Jessica actually had answered the same question before. Thankfully, Jessica didn't get tired of hearing her son's excitement, and she smiled while shaking her head helplessly before answering, "We're going to have a sleepover at Grandma's house for real, but why are you so excited about that, Shane?" Jessica could keep glancing at the boy because she didn't need to focus on driving. But, the answer to her question came not from her son but from her daughter, "That's because Grandma promised us that she would tell us more stories about Grandpa, Mommy! We wonder if Grandpa is more like me or Shane!" "Of cou

“What is 'proposing,' Mommy? Why do you keep saying that word?” Impatiently, Shane continued to pull the side of Jessica's shirt while asking the question. It was indeed the little boy who responded to Jessica even though the question was directed at Noah. But, that didn't upset the woman, and instead, she looked satisfied as she smiled at the boy before answering, “You'll have to ask your favorite Daddy about that word, Shane. He would know more than me about that word.” Jessica did direct her answer to her son, but her eyes glanced at Noah when she said her last sentence. Noah looked cornered, he even tried to look away from the mother and son pair. The artificial light around the area reflected on the man's forehead after he took off the cat head, and it looked glistening with sweat, either because of his cat costume or because of his nervousness. Jessica didn't know the reason, but that didn't stop her from staring intently at the man while waiting for his answer. "Proposin

“So, where is your Daddy now? Did he run away after giving my son a stup—a funny task?” Gritting her teeth to suppress her annoyance, Jessica questioned her son, almost failing to restrain herself from uttering the word "stupid." However, it was not her son who responded. Instead, it was her daughter who suddenly tugged on her sleeve, causing her to turn towards the little girl. “Daddy didn't run away, Mom,” the little girl said, and Jessica thought she would continue to say something. That's why Jessica remained silent waiting for her daughter to explain what she had just said, but the little girl didn't say anything and just moved her little hands towards the pink backpack hanging on her back. Jessica didn't know what the girl was doing, but she could see how the girl unzipped her backpack before taking something out of it. To Jessica's surprise, the thing the girl had just taken out of her backpack was a camera. To be pr

In the end, Jessica decided to give Noah a second chance. Yes, a second chance to be closer to her children.The reason behind her decision was that her children really liked Noah since the first time they met at the mall ice cream shop when she accompanied Tammy to buy a birthday present for her husband. It could be said that the ice cream succeeded in buying the kids' love, and they really liked spending time with the person who bought them the ice cream.Actually, that was not a bad thing, but Jessica was quite annoyed by the stubbornness of her children who kept calling Noah "daddy." It was clearly Noah's fault for casually confirming that he was indeed the twins' father, and Jessica continued to curse the man in her heart from that day on.She didn't even realize that a week had passed since her mother left the hospital and started living again in Noah's old apartment. Due to her mother's pleading, she ended up staying in that apartment as well rather

“That… that's too cheesy! Aren't we going to buy food for my mother and children? We better leave now or they will eat us alive if they get too hungry," Jessica tried to change the topic of their conversation when she started to feel nervous because of what Noah had just said to her. She even averted her gaze to look at anything as long as it wasn't Noah's face, and that was why she didn't notice the hopeful expression on the man's face. "You just said that what I said was too cheesy, but you didn't say that you didn't believe what I said," Noah replied, ignoring the fact that Jessica was trying to change the topic of their conversation. Finally, Jessica could no longer avoid the man's face, and she once again looked at him with her pair of blue eyes. At this moment, she could finally see a glimmer of hope in the man's eyes. "To be honest, Tammy has told me everything related to you," Jessica finally said the truth.
Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend 235. Her Confidence
“Why didn't you remarry after we divorced five years ago?” Jessica's voice was finally heard in the car. "Is it because you still can't get over Tyler?"Suddenly, Noah sneered before replying, “Do you think I love that man so much that I can't replace him with someone else? I don't know if this information is useful for you or not, but the truth is that I didn't really love him when we were together.""You didn't really love him but you still wanted to be with him even though it meant betraying our marriage," Jessica answered sarcastically, and Noah looked stunned by her answer.For a moment, Noah could only stare at the blonde without being able to utter a word with his mouth, but then he took a deep breath before saying, “I believe love and guilt are two different things, and I differentiated them clearly when I was still with him. I betrayed our marriage because of my feelings of guilt, not because of my love for him.”Jessica was the one who d
Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend 234. The Similar Situation
Jessica didn't know what to say after hearing Noah just say what was on his mind and heart, but for some reason, she felt familiar with the situation. The familiar feeling she felt in her heart made her anxious, her hands even moved to grip her jeans tightly as if asking for support from the blue fabric.“You probably think that my situation is similar to your children's situation, right?”Jessica felt her heart stop beating for a moment after hearing what Noah had just asked. It was actually impossible for her heart to stop beating while she was still alive, but she was truly surprised by the question. She finally understood why she felt anxious about Noah's story. That was because the story reminded her of her children.“I am the illegitimate child of that billionaire, and your children are the same even if their father is not a billionaire. They are very young now, but their lives are probably as full of drama as mine. Their lives will be full of lies a
Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend 233. Noah's Dramatic Life
After everything that happened to her five years ago, Jessica really didn't like surprises. Back then, many unexpected things happened to her, and none of them were pleasant surprises. That was why she felt traumatized by unexpected things, but today, she kept getting unexpected things since she came to the hospital to see her mother.First, a surprise came in the form of Noah, and second, it was in the form of the fact that her mother ended up living in Noah's old apartment. As if that wasn't enough, Noah then told her that he wanted to discuss a matter with her alone, and in the end, Jessica could only follow the man's lead.They were once again in Noah's car, and Jessica had fastened her seat belt. She prepared to look for something for her mother and her children's lunch, but she was puzzled because Noah did not start the car immediately.“Did you forget your wallet?” Confused, Jessica asked the man while looking at him.Her thinking was indee

In fact, Jessica had no plans at all to get into her ex-husband's car. Even her ex-husband's appearance at the hospital was not her plan at all, but in the end, she could only surrender and agree to get into the vehicle.Her mother first sat in the second row of seats with the twins, and she had no choice but to take the passenger seat next to the driver's seat. On the way to her mother's house, Noah, her mother, and the twins continued to chat happily about everything, but Jessica remained silent. None of those people seemed to notice her, and that was why she was lost in thought during the journey.She was actually drowned by the fact that she was passing through a route that she used to travel in the past. She didn't know her mother's new address, but she was sure that every street the car took was familiar to her eyes. It brought a feeling of nostalgia that both warmed and chilled her heart.At first, she ignored the familiarity she felt, assuming that
