Goodbye, Mr. Regret

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.

She played the part of a dutiful wife, and he believed that was enough-for both of them.

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