He cleared his throat shifting the conversation "Before you two get too carried away, let me give you a breakdown of yesterday’s incident."

His voice carried an edge of urgency, making Davis and Jessica immediately focus on him. He leaned forward, his expression turning serious. "I’ll be leaving soon, so you both need to be clear about the situation."

Davis stole a glance at his wife. Jessica, though visibly frail from blood loss and exhaustion, still held an air of resilience. He couldn’t help but shake his head at her stubbornness. "Please," he insisted, his tone firm yet laced with concern, "I think you have to send her to her room or at least the dining hall for breakfast. After that, we can talk."

"I think I am okay", Jessica resisted but they both wouldn’t give her such a chance.

Richard studied Jessica, then nodded. "You are right" He quickly helped her stand, ensuring she was steady on her feet before leading the way.

As they moved through the hallway, several maids curtsied in greeting. Some, however, paused mid-step, their eyes widening in shock and admiration at Davis despite being in a wheelchair.

Jessica caught their reactions and smirked. "You’re really a social flower, attracting all sorts of butterflies," she murmured under her breath, just loud enough for him to hear.

Davis smirked, leaning slightly toward her. "Don’t get angry, sweetheart. I am only yours—contractually or otherwise."

Jessica narrowed her eyes at him but chose not to respond, though the corner of her lips twitched slightly.

Upon arriving at the dining hall, they were met with a lavish table meticulously set to suit their individual tastes. The aroma of freshly prepared dishes filled the air, enticing their weary bodies to eat.

Jessica took her usual seat on the right side of the large mahogany table, while Richard settled across from her. Naturally, Davis took the seat beside her.
