Jessamine pulled her hand out of the blanket and felt slightly irritated. "As if I want to touch you. I told you. I just wanted to see if you're wearing any underwear."Thaddeus chuckled and teased, "Are you sure about that? If you want to know if I'm wearing underwear, you can just feel the fabric on my thighs. You didn't have to touch me there."He couldn't believe she refused to admit that she felt him up even after doing so. She was such a hypocrite.Jessamine was dumbfounded. "I can't help it if that's what you think."Thaddeus turned over and pinned her underneath him. "Why are you acting so moody? Am I wrong?"Jessamine turned her head aside and played along. "Fine, you were right. Is that what you want to hear?"Thaddeus was dismayed. Jessamine was done playing his games. Usually, men were the ones who yielded to their partners. However, she did it to him instead."Come home with me tomorrow." He lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. He felt depressed, but he co
Thaddeus felt a sense of clarity when Jessamine pushed him away. "Come home with me tomorrow," he said again.Jessamine obeyed him like a cat that had been appeased. "Okay," she said softly.Then, Thaddeus kissed her again."Ted. Ted…"Thaddeus bit her lip, punishing her for her oversight. He clearly told her many times to call him "Hubby," but she still couldn't remember it. "Call me Hubby, Jessie!""Stop! We don't have any condoms." Jessamine thought of the perfect excuse. After all, there were very few convenience stores near the villa, so it would be hard to buy some condoms.Sure enough, Thaddeus turned over and laid back in his previous spot, breathing heavily.Jessamine successfully stopped him, but she couldn't help but feel disappointed. He still didn't want a baby. He even stopped halfway through the act because they didn't have protection, even though it pained him to do so."Thaddeus, Amy—"Thaddeus became upset at the mention of Amy and sat up on the bed. "I'm tak
Jessamine understood why Thaddeus still wanted to help Amy. After all, she was his muse. A perfectionist like him wouldn't let his muse's life be ruined like this.In that case, Thaddeus needed to discover more of Amy's evil deeds. Jessamine needed to ruin his misguided trust in her before he was willing to believe that Amy was a vile person.After their conversation ended, an awkward silence filled the room. Thaddeus and Jessamine cuddled against the headboard, lost in their own thoughts.…The next morning, Thaddeus woke up and went for a walk with Thomas. Meanwhile, Jessamine was fast asleep and was woken up by a phone call."Excuse me, I'm sorry for calling you again. Can you please sell your house or kick out that woman? It's bad enough that she brings men home in the middle of the night. "But now, people have been throwing paint and garbage at her door, nearly breaking it. The corridor now stinks like hell. Please tell her to show us some mercy."The neighbor in Islington
Jessamine trembled in fear. She had been with the Holt family for three years but had never seen Thomas so angry. The last time was when Thaddeus and Amy angered him to the point where he had to be hospitalized.Jessamine quickly sat next to Thomas and calmed him down. "Calm down, Grandpa. Let's take things easy. Don't let your anger affect your health."Thomas was so angry that his lips were trembling. "Jessie, I'll make things right for you. Tell me everything this bastard did to you. There's no way he's calling the shots in our family."Thaddeus remained silent with a sullen expression on his face.Jessamine didn't know why Thomas was upset. "Grandpa, he didn't do anything."Thomas scoffed. "I can't believe you're still speaking up for him. He has already kept that sly woman in your marital home. How can you put up with it? "Then, Thomas scolded Thaddeus, "You bastard, do you even have a righteous bone in your body? You have a wife, but you used her marital home as a secret g
"After we get back to Zenville, we're going to sell that place and get rid of everything Amy used. We don't want to keep the place she lived in. I'll look for a new home for Jessie and buy it under her name. No one else would let some scheming bitch stay there!"Thomas' words were directed at Thaddeus. Thaddeus said nothing, but Noah said, "Leave it to me, Dad. A friend of mine has a lot of properties available this year. I'll ask him to save the best one."Thomas looked at Noah in approval. And just like that, they had made a decision.…Meanwhile, Amy had no idea she would be evicted from the apartment soon. Right now, she had to face the netizens' ire and harassment.Thaddeus had told her to prepare more daily necessities and stay home for the time being. At first, she didn't take it seriously. But after a day, she knew things weren't as simple as she thought.She didn't dare to turn on her phone. Every day, she received tons of hate messages and even death threats from unkn
Thomas had given Thaddeus a big scolding. In front of everyone, he ordered Joe to sell Thaddeus' unit in Islington Apartments and get rid of anything Amy touched.Meanwhile, Noah had already asked his friend for the floor plans of his properties.Thomas began to relax when he looked at the floor plans Noah gave him.Thaddeus' head was still bleeding. It was a miracle that Thomas didn't let him endure an even worse punishment.When Jessamine noticed Thomas' anger had subsided slightly, she pulled Thaddeus to their room and brought him the first aid kit.Thaddeus couldn't help but hiss when Jessamine dabbed his wound with a ball of cotton wool. Only then did he feel the pain from his wound.He questioned, "It's not like you don't know Grandpa. Why did you hand him a glass of water? If you had given him a knife, you would've been a widow by now."Jessamine simply ignored him and continued to clean his wound. Then, she disinfected it and applied medicine to it. "The weather is hot
"Grandpa…" Thaddeus sighed, a frustrated expression on his face. Thomas was informing him of his decision, not giving him any room for discussion. He didn't want to hear what Thaddeus had to say, so he just hung up on him.He was still furious. He had remembered Thaddeus' transgressions and would pay close attention to him.Silence filled the car once more. As Jordan drove, he overtook the one in front of him. Thaddeus rubbed the bridge of his nose and complained, "What on earth are you doing? Why are you speeding up and slowing down all of a sudden? Is your driver's license just for show?"Jordan quickly straightened himself and said, "Mr. Holt, that car was driving too slowly.""Just keep the car steady."A layer of sweat formed on Jordan's forehead. He felt aggrieved at Thaddeus' words. He had been really careful when driving.Jessamine leaned against the car window, complaining in her thoughts. Jordan was driving well enough. What else did Thaddeus want from him?"Let
"Is that not the case?" Jessamine questioned. She still remembered the time when Thaddeus had been so rough with her in bed that she couldn't get out of bed the next day. Since he was working overtime that day, he asked someone to deliver the latest Hermes bag to her. The card even wrote, "Good work. Here's your reimbursement."Thaddeus was clearly rewarding her for sleeping with him. An ordinary couple would never keep track of things like this. There was no need to give rewards or reimbursements.Thaddeus found Jessamine a little unreasonable to think he shouldn't buy her anything. He had spent money on those gifts, but she was still complaining. She was so ungrateful."Throw them away if you don't want them!"His bold words shocked Jessamine. The bags in their closet were already worth eight figures in total, and that didn't include the bags in the storage room. Yet, he wanted her to throw them away.Jessamine felt a feeling of hatred toward the rich. She only earned 200 thou
