Jessamine and Jerome were stunned when they heard the sound. Then, they heard a familiar-sounding voice."Are you a peacock? Why are you asking if you look good when you see someone?""How annoying. Do you speak to your ex-wife like that too? I think both of you are quite boring. How did you two used to live? Was there no communication even in bed? Did you just go straight into the action?""If you like prying into other people's privacy so much, why don't you join the paparazzi? What kind of celebrity are you? I think you're more suited to be a stalker!""What's wrong? Does Mr. Holt not like being called 'Mister?' Do you not like my tone? If you don't like the mature woman style, I can do a cutesy voice.""Are you crazy?"Outside the stairwell door, Yara tightly grasped Thaddeus' suit and didn't let go. She had seen plenty of aloof men before, but they were all just pretending to be serious. She didn't believe that a man could remain unmoved when facing such a beauty like hersel

Thaddeus opened the back door of the car and followed Jessamine in so he could sit closer than in the front seat."Jessie, now that there's no one around, you can speak freely, right?"Jessamine cleared her throat. "Why did you send Jordan away? Did you not drink today?"Thaddeus felt a warm feeling bloom. She still cared about him after all. She was afraid he would feel uncomfortable after drinking. He wondered why he should keep the third-wheel Jordan around.He looked at Jessamine, who was exceptionally beautiful and well-dressed today, and resisted the urge to kiss her as he said, "It's a bit late, so I let Jordan off work. I can drive."Jessamine didn't respond further and hesitated for a moment before speaking again, "Thaddeus, does your family know about Noah's illness? Does he have dissociative identity disorder?"Thaddeus was taken aback. "You said you had something to talk to me about, and it's this?"Jessamine was curious about his expression. Didn't this matter deser

Jessamine fell silent for a moment before asking, "Then why didn't you tell me?"Thaddeus felt wronged and replied, "I wanted to tell you that time, but when you opened the glove box, your expression changed. Who knew what was going through your mind? You even said you wouldn't sit in my passenger seat again and gave it to other women."Jessamine did recall this incident. That time she had ridden in his car back to Holt Manor. On the way, she wanted to grab a tissue but ended up opening the glove box, which was filled with women's items.Those things weren't hers. It must have been Amy's. Who else could sit in Thaddeus's car except for that bitch? She had insisted on getting out of the car at the time, but he didn't agree, and they returned home with a tense atmosphere.She pursed her red lips and asked, "Then can you explain the sanitary pads in the storage box? Are you, as a grown man, using sanitary pads?"Thaddeus chuckled. "If I had known you wouldn't appreciate it and would

After encountering Jessamine again, Thaddeus slowly emerged from the silence of his past life. His life now had hope and light.Jessamine played with her hands, keeping her head low. She knew that these past few years hadn't been easy for him either. He had even needed to see a therapist at one point to lead a normal life. Even if he hadn't truly liked Amy, his past actions had directly caused these unsettling misunderstandings. She couldn't let go of this grievance.The car fell into a dreadful silence once again.At this moment, a familiar voice asked, "Has Mr. Holt returned?"Lana had already gone to bed but, upon hearing the sound of the car, she put on some clothes and rushed out. For the past few years, she had been staying here alone, guarding this house and waiting for the young couple.Thaddeus had instructed her that even though Jessamine wasn't at home, the house should remain arranged and decorated just as she had been accustomed to. The bedding in the bedroom was

"Then let's leave them here," Jessamine said."Jessie, do you want to pick out a bag?"Jessamine lifted her head and glanced over. The wall cabinet had been built up to the ceiling, and each compartment was stuffed with bags, most of them still with their tags attached. The top compartments required her to stand on a ladder step to reach them."Thaddeus, to be honest… These styles are a bit outdated now."Jessamine spoke the truth. Women's handbags weren't really meant to carry things. They were just fashion accessories. These bags were expensive, some of them even rare items from previous years, but that couldn't change the fact that they were outdated.Just like their marriage, even if she had cherished their relationship back then, they couldn't return to the past after what happened.Love really couldn't be preserved, especially when only one party was making an effort. Their feelings were out of sync. When she loved Thaddeus intensely, he didn't understand his feelings, lead
