Jessamine had been married to Thaddeus for over half a year. Despite living under the same roof, their relationship was only slightly closer than strangers. Jessamine would see him every day, but she often felt there wasn't much they could talk about. He was always busy, often returning home late from work, and frequently took work calls even during dinner.Throughout their marriage, they had always slept in separate rooms.One day, after Jessamine had finished showering and lay on the big bed, she absentmindedly scrolled through her phone and realized it was Valentine's Day. Her social media feed was filled with pictures of flowers, rings, and movie tickets, making her feel a pang of envy.Thinking of the man in her house, Jessamine couldn't help but feel disappointed. It was the first time she had genuinely liked someone, and she always hoped to have more interactions with him. However, he always seemed aloof, like an unapproachable person, which made her feel timid around him.

"I'm not leaving until you take your medicine," Jessamine insisted. Thaddeus struggled to open his eyes, and Jessamine promptly placed the medicine near his lips, successfully administering the fever-reducing medicine to him.She brought some water, intending to help him rinse his mouth, but within seconds, he had fallen asleep again. However, his hand still tightly grasped hers, as if afraid she would leave while he slept.Not only was he running a fever, but he also felt incredibly itchy all over, and his stomach was burning. Even in his dazed state, he still worried about her leaving.Jessamine sighed deeply and gently sat down on the edge of the bed.After about half an hour, Jordan and Erik returned with the medication. Jordan stood at the door and knocked softly. Jessamine gave him a look, and the two of them entered quietly.Erik said, "Mrs. Holt, this medication is for external use. Apply it three times a day. If Mr. Holt's rash doesn't improve within three days, we'll n

Jessamine didn't expect Amy to act so quickly. She called Oscar, but it rang for a while before he answered.A lazy voice came through. "Jessie, you're calling so early. Are you asking me to go for a run?""Mr. James, sorry, I thought you'd be up by now."Jessamine clearly remembered Oscar mentioning his golf appointment with the Quilton Corporation's business partners. She thought he would take such business-related private gatherings seriously. At the very least, he should have gotten up and dressed formally.Oscar, with a hint of sleepiness in his voice, responded, "It's fine. I was just getting up.""Mr. James, I'll join you for golf later."There was silence on the other end for a few seconds, then Oscar seemed to fully awaken, his voice becoming clear. "Sure, I'll come pick you up."Back at her own home, Jessamine finally relaxed.It had been a day of too many events, and she felt like her brain couldn't keep up. One moment she was thinking about Noah's loss of control, t

The two got out of the car and arrived at the golf course exactly at 10:00 am. Samson Lloyd from Bejeweled Group was already waiting downstairs and approached Oscar with quick steps."Mr. James, I finally met you in person. I've been wanting to arrange a meeting with you for a long time."Jessamine was somewhat surprised that these two knew each other. Seeing Samson's fawning demeanor, she somewhat understood Oscar's intention in timing their arrival precisely. It was a matter of maintaining his authority by not allowing himself to arrive early.In the business world, Oscar's reputation preceded him, and dealing with such matters was a breeze for him.Oscar put away his usual carefree demeanor and formally introduced Jessamine to Samson."Mr. Lloyd, this is Jessamine Patton, the largest shareholder of Quilton Corporation."This statement startled Samson. He had always cooperated with Colin, and whenever they discussed business or signed contracts, it was Colin and his assistant w

Not long after, Samson's assistant wheeled in a food cart, stocked with chilled fruits, beverages, mineral water, and small desserts.Jessamine was sitting there quietly when suddenly her phone rang. It was a message from Jordan."Mrs. Holt, Mr. Holt is awake now. Are you still coming over later?"Jessamine rubbed her temples, feeling the aftereffects of staying up late. Her head was throbbing."I have something to do right now and can't come over. You and Dr. Fisher take care of him."On the other end of the phone, Thaddeus lay in bed listening to Jordan read Jessamine's message. His eyes dimmed instantly. He shouldn't have fallen asleep. He knew this would be the result. She would definitely leave while he was asleep.Jordan held the phone anxiously and asked, "Mr. Holt, should I reply?""Just say I have no appetite and just want to eat the ramen from last night."Jordan's fingers typed across the screen, quickly relaying the message.As soon as the message was sent, Thaddeu
