Evening rolled around, and Hermione sat with Evelyn for dinner. Rhys was running late, and they couldn’t wait for him any longer.

“Is the food to your liking?”

Hermione looked up at Evelyn, then at the plate of pasta and chicken breast. The food was delicious, but all she could think about was the calories she’d gain from eating it. But she knew Evelyn wouldn’t tolerate her picking at it, so she had to eat it all.

    Thirty minutes later, Hermione had explained Chagall's use of color, dissected a controversial Rothko, and much more. A small crowd had gathered around her, hanging on every word. Even Cleva was drawn in at some point. When she finished, a round of applause broke out.Hermione was so focused on the art that she didn't notice Rhys across the room, watching her with a bewildered expression. He moved closer, positioning himself where he could see her shine. There she was, charming everyone again.Mr. Davenport, the man Rhys had come to discuss business with before he got distracted, appeared at his side."Your wife is extraordinary," Davenport said. "Mr. White is a collector who's hard to please, but she has completely wrapped that old man around her fingers."Rhys's eyes stayed fixed on Hermione. "I know.""If this is the caliber of woman you've married, Huxley, you're more interesting than I gave you credit for." Davenport paused

    Days later, the day of Cleva's art showcase arrived. That morning, Hermione and Rhys bid farewell to Evelyn as she returned home. George had missed her dearly, and Evelyn still wanted to talk to Gianna about her behavior before she left for college, so she had to leave a day early.Hermione found herself missing her mother-in-law — Evelyn had been so good to her. But she was also grateful for the calm that returned after Evelyn left. The quietness was just how she liked it.At noon, the husband and wife were already dressed and on the road to the showcase. The gallery was enormous, spanning numerous floors. Cleva, the owner, greeted and welcomed guests at the entrance. He was a middle-aged man with dark hair and a charming smile. His gallery had art pieces from renowned artists all over the world, including his own, which was why it was so popular.“Mr. and Mrs. Huxley. It’s an honor to have you here.” He greeted a

    A knock on the door jolted Hermione from her thoughts. She opened her eyes, looking out of the window to find the sky already dark.Eunice opened the door slightly. "It's almost time for dinner, madam."Hermione sat up on the bed. "Thanks. I'll be right down."Eunice nodded and was closing the door when Hermione asked, "Is my husband back?""Yes, he came back a few hours ago but didn't want to disturb you. He's in his study."Hermione nodded. She took the card Rhys had given her that morning and made her way to his study. She hesitated for a moment before knocking. After receiving a muffled "come in," she entered.It was the first time she had stepped into his study. The room was spacious, lined with bookshelves filled with leather-bound volumes and scattered business journals. A large mahogany desk sat at the center, covered in neat stacks of documents and a sleek laptop. The lighting was warm, casting a soft g

    Hermione returned to the house in a bad mood, even though she tried not to show it. As she entered Rhys’s room, she collapsed on the bed with a tired sigh. Gianna's stunt would no doubt hit the media soon, and Hermione would be belittled yet again. She was sick of it.Gazing at the ceiling, she couldn't help but wonder what exactly Gianna had been on about. What had she done to make her so angry?Had the humiliation she'd put her brother through really upset her that much? Back then, she had done what she thought was right. She understood the manner in which she'd done it was extreme and must have embarrassed Rhys, but why was everyone still pushing the narrative that she'd hurt him? Or had Gianna simply misunderstood?Hermione groaned, massaging her brows. She couldn't even ask Rhys because they'd both vowed not to bring things up again.“Meeting you was a mistake I wish I had never made. Even if we meet again in the fut

    The next morning, Hermione woke up to find the house more lively than usual. The staff was in a good mood, they had been ever since Evelyn arrived. The woman had the ability to light up a cemetery if she wanted to.Evelyn was in the kitchen with the cooks when Hermione came in. "Hermione, you're awake. Go and sit. We're almost done with breakfast."Hermione rolled up her sleeves. "No, I can help. What are you making?""You're still recovering. The doctor gave clear instructions not to let you overexert yourself. We're already finishing up."Hermione was about to argue that she was perfectly healthy when Rhys walked into the kitchen in office pants and a button-up shirt.She thought he had left after waking up to an empty room."Eunice, is it ready?" He asked.Eunice nodded and pulled out two steaming mugs, handing them to Rhys. Rhys took them gratefully before approaching Hermione and offering her one.

    That evening, Hermione and Evelyn were having dinner when Rhys arrived home with yet another bouquet of peonies for Hermione.At first, she had been slightly moved by the gesture and had looked forward to it each day. But this evening, looking at the peonies resting on the table, she couldn't help but frown. Had he also bought Judith her favorite flowers to appease her? A sour taste developed in her mouth.She couldn't bring the matter up with him, either. If his plan had something to do with this 'Judith', she didn't want to let on that she knew. That way, she would catch him off guard in the future."Hermione, are you alright? You keep poking at your food," Evelyn said from across the table.Hermione looked down at her plate and realized the grilled salmon was already shredded into pieces by her fork. "Oh, I'm just full. I ate a lot today."Evelyn didn't push and continued her meal. When she finished, she announced

    Hermione chose the most conservative dress she owned. It was a long red gown that was elegant without being flashy. Rhys’s family was known to be simple and grounded, and she wanted to look her best without seeming like she was trying too hard. She adjusted the dress again in the mirror and fixed

    The next morning, Hermione woke up staring at the ceiling. She could still feel the weight of the ring on her finger. She’d spent the entire night overthinking, turning scenarios over in her mind until they blurred into nonsense.What was Rhys thinking? Why the sudden kindness? Why dig up memories

    After a while, it was time for the couple to leave. They bade goodbye to his parents and left. During the drive, Hermione finally spoke up. “Your parents are nice. After all these years, they are still very welcoming.” Rhys’s jaw tightened. “They’re too kind for their own good. Some people don’t

    “Is there anything you’d like?” Rhys asked as the auction began. Hermione shook her head. “No.” Then she shifted, grabbing his hand where it rested on her thigh. “No one is looking. You don’t have to keep up appearances anymore.” Rhys glanced at her, one brow arching. “Why? Does it make you uncomf
