After staring at the housekeeper’s ring, Wyatt narrowed his eyes as a sudden realization dawned on him.

He whipped out his phone and gave his assistant a call.

“Don’t go to the office. I need you to pick up something for me.”

Upon ending the call, Wyatt took a shower before changing into a suit.

He then returned to the master bedroom and saw Jessica slowly emerging from the bathroom.

When he saw her hair neatly combed, he figured she had just washed up too.

He went over and helped her to the bed. After picking out a dress from the wardrobe, he put it on attentively for her.

Even though he didn’t say a word from the moment he entered, Jessica could tell it was him just from his breath.

While he was helping her change, she asked warily, “Aren’t you going to work today?”

“No. I have something more important to do.”

Pulling back the silk sash of the dress, Wyatt tied a beautiful butterfly loop. He then scanned the room, seemingly in search of something.

He walked to the dressing table and opened the bag on top.

As he flipped it over and poured out its contents, a few clinks were heard when a couple of coins fell onto the table.

He retrieved the coins from the pile of belongings and gave them an earnest look before handing them over to Jessica, who seemed confused by his action.

“Why are you giving them to me?”

“We’ll be using them later, so don’t lose them.” With that, he helped her downstairs for breakfast.

This time, Wyatt didn’t feed her during the meal. Instead, he explained to her what was laid out in front and waited for her to gradually feel them out. Even though this meant that she had to eat at a snail’s pace, he patiently waited for her to do so.

Once she was finished, he wiped her mouth for her with a napkin. “Do you feel nauseous?”

Jessica shook her head.
