James and I rushed to the front door.In the living room, we could already hear Maria's thunderous screams. She was calling my name with James, telling us to get out.What was wrong with that woman again?As soon as the door opened, Maria rushed in with wide strides. Her face was flushed and her breathing was rising and falling rapidly, as if she had just been running for hours."YOU! YOU SHIT WOMAN!" she pointed at my face. I winced and she yelled back angrily, "HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO MY SON!"I was getting more and more confused, but then the events of last night replayed in my head. The incident at the bar when I refused to help Jack. It was obvious that Maria had come because of that."What's going on, Maria? Please watch what you say to my wife and don't yell in my house," James said, putting his arm around my waist.Maria snorted and looked like she wanted to grab my hair. "This is all your fault too, James! Jack got beat up because you refused his request! Jack also told me th
The summer festival is being celebrated at the town hall today.I stared at the poster brought by James enthusiastically. The governor had directly invited us to participate, so we would leave early before many people arrived."Are you ready?" James appeared with casual clothes wrapped around his body. He deliberately rolled up the sleeves of his shirt to his elbows, clearly revealing his sexy muscular arms. James' eyes moved to take in my appearance, then that seductive smirk appeared on his lips."Sweety, if you keep dressing up like this, I'll be worried about going out," he said.I frowned in confusion. "Why?""Because there will be a lot of people watching you. What if one of them manages to get you interested?"My eyes widened and I could barely contain my laughter. Impulsively, I lightly hit James' arm who chuckled. "How could I possibly be interested in another guy?" I moved to grab his arm and muttered lowly, "You're the only one.""Really?""Hmmmm," I replied, actually feeli
"Do you want to buy something else? That bracelet looks beautiful on your hand." James touched my beaded bracelet lightly, the corners of his lips pulling up into a sweet smile. "We can buy all the accessories here."I spontaneously laughed. "Uh no need. I just want this bracelet.""Really?""Really."James was silent and his fingers played with mine. The bracelet seller continued to stare at us in amazement, whether he was mesmerized by James' good looks or his overly sweet demeanor.The local band could be heard starting to sing behind us, performing a classical song that had people flocking to it. James pulled me under a fairly quiet tree and hugged me from behind."You're different from other women, darling," he whispered.I looked up at him, confused by the statement. "What do you mean?""The women I know are usually crazy about shopping and stuff. But you're not. You only buy what you need and don't waste money," he explained."Probably out of habit," I said, touching his hand t
This morning, we planned to go to my father's house.My father-Lincoln Steward-lives in the suburbs surrounded by pine forests. I used to spend time there before moving to the city center to continue my university education.James drove his car through the quiet streets. As far as the eye could see, there were only towering trees standing by the roadside like a fence. The sun was shining brightly, brushing the tops of the shady trees that carried a distinctive scent. I looked at James who was focused on driving, he had deliberately worn a neat work suit to meet my father. He said he wanted to look polite in front of his father-in-law.I can't describe the happy feeling that is developing in my heart right now. James really respects my father, even though he is one of the richest men in the city. His attitude is so inversely proportional to Jack who always insults my family, even though he is a nobody.My lips pulled into a soft smile, a smile that came from the bottom of my heart. I
What should I buy as a gift?I lingered in front of the window as I thought of something James might like. James was always surrounded by luxurious and classy things, so I was at a loss as to what to buy him.Of course, James didn't demand me to give him a gift, but as his wife, I also wanted to celebrate his birthday.In three days, his birthday celebration would be held.A breeze swept across my face, then I leaned my head against the windowpane. The scent of petrikor filled my nostrils after the drizzle. I sighed and tried to think of another gift that money couldn't buy."Sweety?"The call made my head turn to James. He had just stepped out of the shower with a towel hanging low on his hips.My eyes involuntarily fixated on his abdominal muscles that contracted as James moved. James had exotic tan colored skin, and it only added to his attractiveness."Enjoying the view, darling?" asked James and I gasped, only just realizing what I was doing.James ran a towel through his wet hai
I got out of the car with James, and Maria quickly approached. From the hardened look on her face, I could tell she was angry.But what was she so upset about now?I didn't feel like I'd done anything wrong. There was no way she was upset like that because of James, either. I knew very well that the anger was directed at me, especially the sharp gaze that was now directed at me.Vivi came closer, her hands folded in front of her chest. She looked disgusted to see me together with James."Maria, Vivi, what are you doing here? Did something happen to Jack again?" James finally opened his voice at their silence. He pulled my hand towards the door, while Maria and Vivi followed behind. Their high heels tapped the tile floor very loudly. For some reason they seemed to be trying to vent their frustration."It's not about Jack, but your reckless decision, James," Maria said.James' decision?I frowned, but chose to keep my mouth shut. We all sat on the living room sofa, while James sent the
"Just give me a hot night as a birthday present, how about it darling?"I'm sure my cheeks are burning hot right now. I didn't expect to hear that answer this morning, in James' sexy raspy voice after waking up.Last night when we chatted before bed, I ventured to ask about the gifts James liked. I chose to ask directly, considering James might have a special preference.When I insisted, he said he wanted something that money couldn't buy. And apparently... his wish really surprised me.Not that I refused. Every night, James always gave me a lot of pleasure, so I would give him the same. Whatever he wants."How's Sweety?"I pretended not to hear his question and was busy arranging the pancakes on the plate."Trying to ignore me, hm?" James stood behind me and slowly turned my body around. I wanted to look down, but James didn't let me by cupping my cheeks.My laughter broke out as James brought his face forward and kissed the top of my nose. "You're not good at lying."I could only no
James' birthday celebration was going to be lively.I stared at the building that had been decorated with a simple design, adapted to James' age of 41. The gray color dominated, while the main beverage was the finest expensive wine ordered by James himself.There was no birthday cake, just a jumbo-sized roast turkey placed in the center of the room, right underneath a hanging golden chandelier.James' birthday celebration party was more like a formal party attended by people from the upper class. My eyes are filled with an array of expensive suits and dresses, all shouting out their abundant wealth.Tonight, I'm wearing a sexy and elegant red silk dress, as well as the jadeite necklace James picked out for me. My hair is left down with a small clasp on the side of my head.James himself is wearing a luxurious black tuxedo. His hair is neatly slicked back, with cologne that gives off a distinctly masculine scent.We stood at the opening of the main hall for a moment. James took my hand
