Maxwell caressed Jennifer's back, the scorching heat seeping through the black silk and onto her body. Yet Jennifer couldn't feel any warmth. There was only a sense of dread creeping over her.Maxwell seemed intent on kissing her until her breath ran out. Jennifer never imagined that Maxwell would kiss her one day, yet it left her in such agony.Maxwell could feel the woman in his arms trembling as she sobbed. Finally, he relented and ended her torment.After releasing Jennifer, he reached out to wipe away her tears. Maxwell's voice sounded hoarse as he spoke, "Do you despise it that much?""I... I don't." Jennifer muttered sadly. "Nobody likes to be forced upon. You can't treat me like this even if you're my husband. I'm not that kind of woman, and I'm not your plaything."Maxwell's expression remained grim as he asked, "When did you meet Nathan? How far has it progressed?"Jennifer stared at him, puzzled. "What does Dr. Lowe have to do with this?""Dr. Lowe? What a nice nickna

With this, Rachel had pushed away all responsibility regarding the recent incident. After all, the frame-up against Jennifer had been exposed. If she didn't apologize now, Maxwell would also suspect her involvement in this."I know you're different from the rest of your family. You're your own person." Maxwell gently wiped away her tears. "I believe in you, Rach."Rachel seized the opportunity. "Ms. Yale is so sociable. She managed to get such a famous figure in the medical field to help her. But I guess that's only natural. Surely everyone would adore a beautiful and capable woman like Ms. Yale, right?"A dark look flickered in Maxwell's eyes. Rachel was right. Even if he didn't cherish Jennifer, it didn't mean that other men wouldn't. So what if they did? He was the one holding Jennifer's leash! No one could have her until he let her go.Just when Rachel thought she had succeeded in causing a riff between the couple, Maxwell suddenly said, "You should forgive Laura for hittin

Not long after, Laura's charming voice came from the kitchen entrance, "Jennifer... How do I look? Am I sexy?"Jennifer turned to the door and her jaw dropped in surprise. "Holy shit! Why did you come out like this?"Although... She was indeed very sexy.Laura's brown curls cascaded over her shoulders, and she looked extremely alluring. The white bath towel barely covered her thighs, revealing Laura's smooth legs. Along with her curves, Laura looked more mature and feminine than Jennifer ever could.Laura rolled her eyes at Jennifer. "It's all your fault. I asked you to prepare pajamas for me, but you didn't bring anything. This was the only option I had!"Jennifer couldn't take her eyes off her and weakly mumbled, "Did you drink a lot of milk growing up?""I was born beautiful and hit the jackpot during puberty." Laura couldn't help teasing her. "Look at you, people might even think you're still in high school."Jennifer pouted. "Hey! I'll hit you!"The two bantered and laughe

Jennifer was moved to tears and hugged Laura. "Thank you, Laurie. But please don't ever pull this stupid stunt for me again. You scared me good this time.""Why are you thanking me?" Laura patted her back. "Alright, I'm leaving. You mustn't let Maxwell and that mistress push you around. Be decisive when it's time to get a divorce. Don't let yourself be dragged down by them.""I know," Jennifer mumbled. She still felt hesitant and reluctant at the prospect of a divorce.Since Laura didn't drive, Jennifer drove her back home. When she returned, Simon had already left while Maxwell was in the study doing his work.Jennifer opened the door to the study and glared at Maxwell angrily. The latter returned a weird smile. "Your friend's figure is much better than yours!""You... You saw?" Jennifer remembered seeing Maxwell covering his eyes.Maxwell probed, "Are you jealous?""I'm not!" Jennifer stubbornly denied it and questioned, "Why did you bring Simon here? Don't you know how impo

Just then, there was a knock at the door. Then, Maxwell's voice came from outside. "Come out for breakfast."Jennifer was stunned. Maxwell was asking her down for breakfast instead of Martha. But she suddenly remembered that Martha had taken three days off and wouldn't be back soon. Did Maxwell cook breakfast?It wasn't until Jennifer went downstairs that she found that Maxwell could cook. Moreover, his cooking was looking very delicious too."You... Did you make all of this?" She couldn't believe it.Maxwell sat across from her and huffed. "Who else could it be but me?"The last time he let Jennifer cook, he was sure he was going to die of food poisoning! How could he dare let her cook again?Jennifer was speechless and quietly picked up the sandwich. As she took a bite, the taste of roasted meat flooded her mouth immediately.She exclaimed in pleasant surprise. "I've never seen you cook before. How did you learn to cook?"Maxwell smiled faintly and explained, "I used to coo
