Chapter 38

I knew exactly what Jared was thinking. It was the same old double standard most men had. They wanted other men’s wives to dress sexy, but their own wives had to be proper and elegant. It was so hypocritical.

But I wasn’t about to give up what I liked just because Jared didn’t approve.
