Chapter 237

Whenever Timothy returned from a business trip, he would make sure to please Jessica in bed, giving her the best experience he could offer.

As for why he never brought her to meet anyone from the outside world he had his reasons.

But when had it started? When did she become so dissatisfied with their marriage, with him?

Timothy's gentle, earnest questions nearly brought Jessica to tears.

He wasn't blind to her sadness.
