Chapter 571

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.
