Jessamine thought she might have to give herself to Thaddeus in his car.Given his character, he never compromised with anyone. If he wanted to have sex with her, he would do it right away.When he said, "Let's go home", it gave her a moment of relief.The two of them lay close together in an intimate position on the seat, surrounded by silence.The sounds of heavy breathing in the car intermingled, creating a romantic atmosphere.Once the passion calmed down, awkwardness spread infinitely."Jessie … My car has a lot of space," Thaddeus stated.Thaddeus' meaning was clear. This place wouldn't affect his performance at all. On the contrary, changing the battlefield would be even more exciting.Jessamine bit her lip hard, trying to stay calm and not be tempted by him. Men always said whatever sounded good at the moment. If she followed his lead, she would fall into his trap.Of course, she knew his car was spacious enough. It was a limited edition Bentley, priced in the millions

Thaddeus frowned at Jessamine's words."Didn't we agree that you'd call me 'hubby?' Did you forget?" he inquired."We're getting a divorce. Does it really matter what I call you?" Jessamine restored."It matters," Thaddeus said, squinting his eyes.Jessamine didn't want to argue about this childish topic any longer."Can you have Lana prepare the food first? I'm hungry," she said.Thaddeus finally retracted his hand and took a step back. Both of them emerged from the bathroom together.Lana had been waiting outside for quite some time. As it was time to prepare dinner, she needed to consult the couple for their opinions.Thaddeus' lips were stained with lipstick, and he was oblivious to it.After sizing them up, Lana wore a knowing expression on her face as she asked, "Mr. Holt, Mrs. Holt, I've cooked ceviche, soup, and two light side dishes. What else would you like to eat tonight?"Jessamine remained silent, while Thaddeus gazed at her as he replied to Lana, "Jessie doesn't

For a second, Jessamine thought she had misheard him."How should we live if we don't divorce? Should we live with Amy?" she asked.This question struck Thaddeus' soul, leaving him speechless.Jessamine continued, "Can you forget Amy? Or can she forget you?"Neither option seemed plausible for them at the moment.Just then, his phone rang. The caller was none other than Amy."Teddy, my heart is acting up again. Will I die? I'm so scared that I won't see you when I open my eyes," she cried.Thaddeus immediately sat up and headed out after straightening his clothes.In the end, they didn't finish the movie.The sound of a closing door resonated, and Jessamine suddenly woke up from her daze.When he mentioned not getting a divorce, her frozen heart melted for a second.However, as she realized Amy could call him away at any time, she concluded that there was no point in holding onto such romantic fantasies.Jessamine returned to the guest bedroom and locked the door.It was g

Eastlake Villa belonged to Jessamine's mother before her marriage to Colin, so Colin had no connection to it.Before Jessamine's mother passed away, their family used to live there. The place held all the memories of her mother. Naturally, Jessamine wanted to reclaim the house.But did she hear it correctly? The house was now under Amy's name?Jessamine tried to control her emotions. "I agree to the divorce. I'll divorce on the same day as the ownership transfer."Colin's patience wore thin, and he raised his voice. "Why is it so difficult for you to grant this favor? Do you really want your sister dead? Will you be happy only when she dies?""Whether she's dead or not has nothing to do with me. She brought it upon herself. No one forced her.""It's just a man. Why are you so petty? There are plenty of men out there. I'll find one for you the day you divorce Thaddeus.""Finding a man isn't like buying groceries. Why don't you say these things to Amy? Why must she insist on going

After a few seconds, the phone was answered.Without giving Amy a chance to speak, Thaddeus coldly warned her. "Amy, if you're calling to plead on Colin's behalf, don't even bother. Let's not risk ruining our friendship of over a decade for this matter. "Colin had clearly crossed my bottom line, and I'm already being very lenient with him by just withdrawing my investment." Amy slumped on the hospital bed, momentarily at a loss for words.When Thaddeus mentioned that Colin had crossed his bottom line, didn't that mean his bottom line was Jessamine?Amy felt like she had been kicked in the shins. She suddenly felt like all her efforts in feigning illness, getting poked with needles, and sleeping on a lousy hospital bed were all in vain.She felt like he was slipping away from her, and that she wasn't as important to him as she had imagined. On the other end of the call, Thaddeus sat in his office with a solemn expression.Jordan had been looking forward to the CEO's return t
