Wife on Strike Chapter 129: An Unexpected Connection
Ruby looked out the car window as the houses slowly passed by.Jason had told her they were almost there, and she had suddenly become nervous.She had met many people before without feeling this way, but today was different.She was going to meet Jason's family as his girlfriend.Mary and Matteo lived in the family house, so they were going to see Matteo. It also meant she would be meeting Jason's parents."My parents are nice people," Jason said, noticing how quiet she had become.Ruby laughed dryly."That's exactly what people say before introducing someone to their family."Jason paused, thinking about her words, but he didn't think they were true."It is?"Ruby brought out the small mirror from her bag as she replied,"Yes. Then five minutes later, everyone starts asking embarrassing questions."Jason thought about it seriously."I'll try to stop them.""You shouldn't," Ruby said as she took one last look in the mirror before putting it away.A few minutes later, the car slowly pu

Jason was still holding Ruby's hand as they reached his car.He opened the passenger door for Ruby as usual before walking around to the driver's seat.The car slowly pulled away from the building, leaving Stephen still standing there.Ruby glanced at him."You are always on time," she praised him, happy that he didn't keep her waiting.But Jason didn't say anything.His eyes stayed on the road, and although his expression was calm, there was something about him that didn't look right.Ruby's eyes twitched at his lack of reaction.She studied him for a few seconds before exhaling softly."You shouldn't take what Stephen said to heart," she said gently, thinking he was upset because of Stephen's words.Of course, that must be it.No man would be happy after being talked down to like that. But he shouldn't feel bad because of it. To her, Stephen was just being an arrogant person.Jason gave her a brief glance before returning his eyes to the road. "I'm not bothered by that."Ruby didn't

The clock struck five.Ruby shut down her computer, stretched her arms, and let out a satisfied sigh."Finally."She grabbed her handbag from the drawer and slung it over her shoulder.Just as she was about to leave, a cheerful voice called out behind her."Leaving already?"Ruby didn't need to turn around to know who it was. She sighed inwardly before putting on a polite smile.When she turned, a tall, handsome man in a tailored suit was already walking toward her.Stephen Cole.The son of one of the company's major shareholders.He stopped in front of her with a smile that seemed to grow wider every time he saw her."Done for the day?" he asked.Ruby nodded. "Yes.""Perfect." Stephen's smile deepened. "Then let's have dinner together."Ruby maintained her polite smile."I'm sorry, but I already have plans."Stephen wasn't discouraged. "Cancel them."Ruby chuckled, mostly at his audacity, but still responded, "I can't.""Why not?""I'm meeting my boyfriend."Stephen laughed as though
Wife on Strike Chapter 126: A Chance He Never Thought He'd Ask For
After taking her bath, Kelsey changed into her nightwear. For several minutes, she sat quietly on the edge of her bed. She had told Ramon they would talk when they returned home.But after they arrived, they had dinner almost immediately, and before she could bring up the conversation, Ramon had already gone upstairs.Taking a deep breath, Kelsey stood up and walked out of her room.She needed to have that conversation with Ramon tonight. They would both leave early for work tomorrow.The mansion was quiet.Soon, she stopped in front of Ramon's bedroom. She knocked twice.There was no answer.Kelsey waited for a few seconds. Maybe he had already fallen asleep.She was about to turn around when the door suddenly opened.Ramon stood behind it. His hair was still wet, showing that he had just finished taking a shower. A white towel was wrapped around his waist, and his usual cold and serious expression was replaced by surprise."Kelsey..." he called, clearly not expecting to see her stan
Wife on Strike Chapter 125: Their First Real Date
The elegant restaurant was quiet and peaceful. Soft piano music filled the air while people enjoyed their meals and chatted in low voices.Near the window, Jason and Ruby sat across from each other.Unlike their usual bookstore dates, today was different. It was their first real date.Ruby glanced around the restaurant excitedly before picking up her phone. "Jason.""Hmm?""Smile."Jason had barely looked up when—Click.Ruby looked at the picture and smiled. "Not bad." She immediately raised her phone again. "One more."Jason sighed. "You said that was the last one.""I changed my mind."Click.Jason looked at her helplessly."Ruby..." he called softly, glancing around to see if anyone was looking at them. "How many pictures do you need?"Ruby lowered her phone and thought seriously. "I don't know."Jason blinked. "You don't know?"She nodded honestly. "I'll stop when I'm satisfied."Jason didn't know what to say. "You've already taken a lot."Ruby swiped through the photos. "I delet
Wife on Strike Chapter 124: The Real Mastermind
Laura lowered her head. The red handprint on her cheek was still visible. The entire warehouse remained silent.Kelsey didn't speak immediately.She calmly pulled a chair over and sat down in front of Laura. Her movements were slow and composed. There wasn't a trace of anger on her face anymore. Somehow, that calmness frightened Laura even more.Ramon stood quietly a few steps behind Kelsey. He didn't interrupt. He simply watched.Kelsey crossed one leg over the other and looked at Laura."Let's not waste time," Kelsey said slowly. "How well you answer my questions will determine whether you leave here alive."Laura slowly lifted her head. Her eyes were swollen from crying."Why did you want me dead?" Kelsey asked in a low voice. "Don't say because you hate me. I hate you as well, but I didn't come after you."Laura's lips trembled. "I..."Kelsey raised a hand, stopping her."Think carefully before you answer." She leaned forward. "You arranged the hit-and-run accident that almost kil
