Alle Kapitel von Wife on Strike : Kapitel 111 – Kapitel 120

Ruby stood still, looking at the woman who had just entered.She didn't need to think twice to know why she was here.The woman had probably followed her.After what Jason did outside, it was only natural that she would come looking for her.But Ruby didn't want to hear whatever she had to say. She simply wanted to leave.Just as she took a step forward, the woman calmly moved and blocked her way."Ruby?" the woman asked softly with a gentle smile, as though she wanted to confirm her name.Ruby's expression remained calm. The woman already knew her name, so there was no need to pretend."Yes," Ruby answered calmly. Then she asked, "And you are?"The woman smiled even more gently. "I'm Mary."Ruby raised an eyebrow.That was all?Shouldn't she have said she was Jason's wife?"You know, I didn't expect us to meet like this," Mary said softly. "After all these months."Ruby looked at her. "What do you want to say?"Mary's smile slowly faded. "I thought we should have a conversation."She

Meanwhile...Kelsey slowly opened her eyes.Warm afternoon sunlight filtered through the curtains, filling the bedroom with a soft golden glow.She stared at the ceiling for a brief moment before slowly turning her head.She was in her bedroom at the Ivory Mansion.Unlike the first time she had woken up earlier that day, her mind was much clearer now.The family doctor had already examined her, given her medicine, and explained that the drug she had inhaled had severely weakened her body. She had only managed to stay awake for a short while before exhaustion pulled her back to sleep.Now, after several more hours of rest, she finally felt a little stronger.Much better than before."You're awake."Ramon's deep voice broke the silence.Kelsey turned toward him.He was sitting in the chair at the side of the room, quietly watching her.The untouched documents on the small table beside him made it obvious he hadn't been working. It seemed he had been sitting there for quite some time, ev

The car pulled away from the Ivory Mansion at a steady pace.For the first few minutes, neither of them spoke. They were both sitting in the back seat while the driver drove quietly through the evening traffic.Dimitri glanced at Kelsey from time to time.She was looking out of the window quietly. Her face was calm, but it looked much paler than usual."You don't look well," he finally said.Kelsey turned to him. "I'm fine."Dimitri didn't believe her."You don't have to lie to me," he said, staring steadily at her. "Did Ramon do something to you?"Kelsey's eyes narrowed slightly at his words. "Why do you think so?"Dimitri shrugged. "He is good at hurting people."Kelsey became even more confused. She thought about his words for a moment before shaking her head."Ramon doesn't hurt people without a reason. He is just a cold person and doesn't care enough.""Wow," Dimitri said slowly. "You're defending him."Kelsey shook her head again."I'm not defending him," she replied confidently

Dimitri and Denovon walked back into the living room together. The moment Emily saw them, she waved impatiently. "What took both of you so long? Dinner has been waiting." Denovon smiled lightly. "We were only talking." Emily narrowed her eyes. "You've been talking for almost twenty minutes." She didn't wait for another explanation before clapping her hands. "Everyone, let's eat." The maids immediately began carrying the dishes into the dining room. The delicious aroma quickly filled the air. Emily naturally held Kelsey's hand. "Come, dear." Kelsey was slightly caught off guard, but she still followed her. The dining table was already filled with different dishes. There was grilled fish, roasted chicken, vegetable salad, creamy soup, seafood pasta, steamed vegetables, and several other dishes. Kelsey couldn't help glancing at the table. There was enough food for twice the number of people present. "Our family friends weren't able to join us today," Emil

A sharp headache pulled Ramon out of his sleep. He frowned and slowly opened his eyes. For a few seconds, he simply stared at the ceiling. The morning sunlight spilling through the curtains made him squint. He raised a hand and pressed his temple. His head felt like it was about to split open. He slowly sat up. The blanket slid down to his waist as he looked around the room. He was in his bedroom. A faint frown appeared on his face. He couldn't remember how he had gotten upstairs. He closed his eyes and tried to recall the previous night. At first, only scattered memories came back. He remembered going to the bar lounge to have just a glass of drink to calm the sharp pain in his chest after Dimitri sent him the picture of himself and Kelsey holding hands. He knew Dimitri had done it to hurt him, but he couldn't stop himself from feeling hurt. One glass had turned into a few bottles. Then he remembered Kelsey walking in. She had taken the glass from his hand and
