“Okay, I'll buy some vegetables.”Thaddeus handed Jessamine his phone."Use my phone to make the purchase."Jessamine left her phone in the living room, so she thought she could just use his phone to shop. She sat on the edge of the bed. He had already opened the grocery shopping app on the phone for her to choose what she wanted.Jessamine tapped and swiped on the screen, ordering the kids’ and his favorite food. When it came time to check out, she handed him his phone.She said, "Enter the password."Thaddeus lay still. "Don't you know the password?"Jessamine was taken aback for a moment. She knew the password, but she didn't want to enter it. He might let his guard down, but everyone needed their own personal space.She knew where to draw the lines. Be it when they were married or now when they were trying to rekindle their relationship, it never crossed her mind to invade his privacy. She insisted on handing him the phone. "You should enter it."Thaddeus raised an eyebr

Jessamine had no chance to refuse when Thaddeus leaned over and lay down beside her.Thaddeus neatly folded the blanket that was on her and set it aside. He then covered them both with the large quilt he had brought. With practiced ease, he drew her naturally into his embrace."Jessie, I hope you'll give me a chance to meet your family when we return to Hajera."Jessamine grew quiet."There will be a chance."She pondered when would be the right time to introduce him to her family. She knew she needed to communicate with her grandmother in advance, as bringing him home suddenly might not be well-received.She knew very well how her grandmother would react.Thaddeus gently nudged her head with his chin and whispered, "I will do my best.""Don't feel too pressured about this. We don't need to rush this matter.""Okay."He understood that rushing was not an option. Changing her family's impression of him in such a short time seemed nearly impossible. He needed to find a way to w

Thaddeus wasn't speaking nonsense. It did rain heavily that night. There was no thunder, but the wind howled so fiercely that the raindrops pitter-pattered on the windows.Worrying that Layla might be scared, Jessamine slipped into her room in the dead of night. Layla was a timid child, always needing to snuggle up to her mother on rainy days to sleep soundly.The return to Hajera was now on the agenda. Jessamine had already booked the flight tickets in advance and bought local specialties from Zenville for her family. Everything was set.Friday arrived in a blink. For Thaddeus, this day felt more dreadful than the day before school started.Soon, he would be on his own again. To make matters worse, he needed a few more days to wrap up his work at the company and couldn't leave with them.Thaddeus couldn't bear the thought of what his life would be like after his family was gone.Lately, he had gotten used to the routine of waking up each morning to make breakfast for his family.

Thaddeus exhaled a puff of smoke and asked, "Who hit you?"Sasha was whining on the other side of the phone, "I was at the hospital. While waiting in line, a tall, burly, and disgusting-looking guy hit me."She paused for a moment and continued, "He's coming back after he's paid his bill. He said he'll show us who's boss. "Thaddeus, please come quickly! I'm scared!""Send me the address," replied Thaddeus.After hanging up, Sasha immediately sent her location to him. He drove over as quickly as he could. When he arrived, he found Sasha crouching in the hallway, looking completely defeated. One side of her face was swollen with what seemed like finger marks. It was clear she had been hit.Looking at her, Thaddeus knew she must have gotten tangled up in a troublesome situation.When Sasha saw Thaddeus exit the elevator, it was as if she had seen her savior. She stood up in a flash as her tears began to flow uncontrollably."Ted!"Her shout caught the attention of the man stan

Amy was already on probation, so she didn't dare get involved in any trouble again. Besides, what happened today had nothing to do with her. She didn't say a single curse word, nor did she get physical.The person who rudely hit someone was Sasha.Even so, Amy was still somewhat scared and instinctively hid behind Thaddeus. The two police officers, with serious expressions, wouldn't just rely on the nurse's side of the story."Let's check the surveillance footage first."After a short while, the surveillance footage from that period was copied. After watching it, the police turned to Sasha and said, "Miss, please come with us."Sasha suddenly realized the gravity of the situation. While on the verge of tears, she looked at Thaddeus with reddened eyes, as if seeking help."Ted…" she pleaded.Thaddeus had just reviewed the surveillance footage with the police. Sasha's actions were even worse than what the eyewitness described. It was no wonder that man couldn't resist hitting her.
