Housewife Gone Wild

Chapter 38

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.

He’d never treated me badly in my previous life. He gave me everything I needed, except for love. But in this life, I chose not to love him. I wanted to reclaim the part of myself I’d lost, and he couldn’t control me anymore.

“Forget it. Just stay at the company for now,” Jared said. He saw I was about to move out, but of course, he wouldn’t let me.

The delicious lunch was brought to the table. To my surprise, Jared had actually ordered my favorite dishes, braised chicken and beef Wellington. I stared at the plates in shock and then looked at him in disbelief.

Unexpectedly, Jared avoided my eyes and said in a light tone, “Let’s dig in.”

I picked up my fork, took a slow bite, and then said softly, “Not bad at all.”

When Jared saw the look of pleasure on my face, he couldn’t help but chuckle. “You used to eat at home all the time. No wonder you haven’t really tried so much good food outside.”
