"Don’t you think that’s a bit harsh, Ms. Serena? Jethro’s just been taking care of me for a few days while I’m ill. To talk about me like I’m a third wheel is a little uncalled for." Lianna’s eyes, filled with indignation, bore into mine. Her gaze was intense, revealing the turmoil within her."Please, call me ‘Mrs. Willow.’ I find 'Ms. Serena' rather inappropriate seeing I’m Jethro’s wife. And seeing how agitated you are, it seems you're worried about being misunderstood as a homewrecker. Well, perhaps hiring professional care would be more suitable then. I’m willing to assist financially if you can't afford it." I met her gaze with a steady one of my own, maintaining a cool exterior despite the storm brewing inside me. Showing any loss of composure would only grant her the upper hand."Ms… Mrs. Willow, I thought you came here today with good intentions. But all I hear is you insulting me," Lianna retorted, her composure faltering. Her eyes, now reddened, betrayed her mounting fury.

"Alright, I understand. You two have been out all day and must be tired. Go get some rest. I'll call you for dinner when it's ready," Doris said warmly, her eyes filled with kindness.Exhausted from not sleeping all night, I felt a wave of fatigue wash over me. Grateful for Doris' understanding, I ascended the stairs with Jethro in tow, eager for some rest. Perhaps due to the relief of knowing Jethro and Lianna had nothing between them, I succumbed to sleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.Jethro lay beside me, enveloping me in a comforting hug. I fell into a deep, restful slumber, only waking as evening approached.At dinner, the family was mostly silent until a text notification sounded from Jethro's phone. Suspecting it might be from Lianna, I reached for his phone before he could. The message was indeed from her, claiming she felt unwell and requesting his company. I couldn't suppress a cold smirk. Despite her promise to stop bothering Jethro, she had contacted him within mere

As I settled back into my work routine, life threw an unexpected curveball. As I was buried in paperwork due to my recent absence, my phone rang, displaying Mason's name. I was puzzled as to why he would call out of the blue, but I was thankful for his help during the Lianna situation."Hey, Mason," I answered."What's keeping you so busy? You've been silent lately. Why haven't you called?" Mason's voice carried a hint of complaint."I'm overwhelmed with work. It's been non-stop," I explained."Have you resolved the Lianna situation?" Mason shifted the topic.I had almost forgotten about her, and Mason's mention reignited my unease. "Let's not talk about her. She poses no threat to Jethro and me. He doesn't even like her. It’s purely one-sided on her part."Her constant calls and requests to Jethro irked me. In my eyes, she simply was shameless."One-sided? Would your perspective change if you knew she’s Jethro's ex?"Mason's revelation caught me off guard. "What did you say? L

As the tension between Jethro and me reached a breaking point, his phone rang. Seeing Lianna's name on the display, I smirked coldly. Her timing was almost too perfect. It was as if she knew about the discord she had caused between us.Jethro, likely remembering his recent promise, immediately rejected the call. My frustration eased slightly upon seeing this. Had he chosen to answer, I doubt I could’ve easily overlooked it.But Lianna was persistent. Even after her call was rejected, she immediately called again. Before Jethro could react this time, I took his phone, rejected the call, and blocked her number. "There's no need to keep rejecting her calls. Blocking her simplifies everything," I reasoned, unwilling to admit my jealousy.Jethro watched me with an unreadable expression and said in a dispassionate tone, "Do what you think is best. As long as it prevents you from feeling upset.” His apparent indifference to my blocking Lianna calmed my irritation.When we got back home,

Jethro's voice was gentle, conveying understanding. My unease wasn't really about anger. It was more about my deep care for him. I feared the possibility of him being taken away by another woman."Okay, you're not allowed to see her again. I don't like her. Remember, you're mine now and forever," I asserted, holding Jethro tightly, marking my territory with a mix of possessiveness and unreasonable demands.I was conscious of my overbearing attitude toward Jethro and that it might wear him out. Yet, the thought of him seeing Lianna again was unbearable. I could tolerate any woman's presence, except those who shared a past with him.Hearing my firm stance, Jethro sighed. With a mix of resignation and affection in his voice, he said, "Okay, I promise there will never be another woman in this lifetime. I'm all yours, okay?"His swift reassurance brought me comfort and joy. While I couldn't control who he met, his commitment to my request spoke volumes about his feelings for me. Maybe I
