Jethro's low, suggestive tone made me tense up. I knew what he desired, but my mind was too clouded with worries to entertain such thoughts."Go take a cold shower. You know I’m not in the mood right now…" I suggested gently, moving his hand away.Jethro's face stiffened, his eyes betraying displeasure. "I'm your husband, Serena. Don't you care about my needs? You're always thinking of others. You know I've been holding back all night, and it's getting difficult," he said in a mix of frustration and desire.I was taken aback by his reaction. It was only one night of no sex. Was it really that unbearable? His exaggeration seemed a bit much."Perhaps you can...take care of yourself?" I asked hesitantly.I wasn’t very confident in saying this. After all, I had never seen Jethro “take care” of himself. I wondered how he had managed his physical needs during the year I was away."Are you telling me to fly solo?" Jethro's face darkened, his tone deepening.His knowledge of such slang

“I thought I’d get to see you today. Sigh, what a bummer," Mason said mischievously, and I could tell he realized that he shouldn't have said those things the other day. He must have been feeling a little awkward about it."I was tied up today and couldn't get to the hospital. Jolene ran into some trouble," I explained casually, hoping to ease any potential awkwardness in our next meeting."What happened to her?" He perked up with curiosity when he heard me mention Jolene."It’s not something I can discuss with you. Let’s just say it’s not anything good." I chose not to tell Mason about Jolene's assault. For a girl, the fewer who know about such things, the better."Cut it out. We’ve been friends for so long, Rina, so what’s there that you can’t tell me? Sigh, I’m so disappointed." Mason sounded genuinely disappointed, probably not expecting me to withhold information from him."This isn’t something I can discuss, Mason. It involves someone’s reputation. Plus, you don’t even like

"What are you saying, Jethro?" I said, my expression disagreeable. His words had infuriated me. While we were all trying to save Jolene, he seemed to be goading her to jump.Jethro ignored me, continuing to approach Jolene. "If you're set on jumping, then just do it. Don't waste our time. If you jump from here, there’s no chance of survival. I’ll take care of your funeral, so don’t worry about that," he said coldly and impatiently.Taken aback, Jolene glared at him furiously. "You’re despicable! You’re hoping for me to jump, aren’t you?! So that Serena will become my mom’s sole daughter and you all can lay claim to Mom’s inheritance!" Jolene’s anger was evident.“Smart girl. Your mother does have quite the fortune. If you die, Serena will become the sole heir. Your legacy would just be an urn," Jethro retorted mockingly.Jolene, speechless with rage, failed to notice Jethro’s proximity."Don’t feel like jumping? Shall I help you?" Jethro reached out and extended his hand as if he

Evelyn’s entire attention was devoted to Jolene. Even if I stayed for dinner, I doubted she would have much time for me. Besides, I was certain Jolene wouldn't appreciate my presence."Rina…" Evelyn began, but I didn’t wait to hear more. I turned and left without looking back.Driving alone, I couldn't shake off the sadness in my chest. I understood Jolene was enduring a difficult period and deserved sympathy, yet I still felt neglected.My phone rang, displaying Jethro’s name. I answered through the car’s Bluetooth. "Hey." My tone was low, reflecting my dampened spirits."Why aren’t you home yet? Where are you?" Jethro’s pleasant voice made my heart flutter but somehow deepened my sense of injustice."I’m on my way home. I went to her place."He knew who I was talking about. Because I still didn't know how to address Evelyn, I always simply referred to her as “her.”After a moment of silence, Jethro asked, "Did something happen? You sound down.”He always picked up on my mood

"Can you be any more shameless? How could you even say such things?" I glared at him, my face etched with displeasure and annoyance."If you want to see me be even more shameless, I can certainly oblige," he replied, his sculpted eyebrows raised, clearly not taking my words to heart. His gaze still held a hint of amusement.Dealing with someone as thick-skinned as Jethro left me feeling exasperated. Despite my anger, I felt compelled to compromise. However, his actions this morning also solidified my thoughts of separating from him. His incessant demands were overwhelming."Are you just going to lie there like a blow-up doll? Do you expect me to do everything?" Jethro pinned me beneath him, his face a mask of dissatisfaction. He seemed insatiable at the moment."What else do you expect? Your demands are getting higher by the day. You used to be satisfied as long as I complied." I knew he had wanted me to be more proactive lately, but I genuinely wasn’t in the mood to cater to his n
