Housewife Gone Wild

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.

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