Chapter 115

Tonight, Stanley had been losing steadily, his luck simply not with him. His handsome face had taken on a cold, distant expression.

Jessica was focused on her cards, and a bowl of fresh seasonal fruits was beside her. She delicately picked a large, dark purple grape, peeled it, and gently held it to Stanley's lips.

Stanley, still distracted by the game, opened his mouth and took the grape from her. His attention was split between the cards and Jessica's affectionate gestures. Jessica leaned into him, a picture of a loving, attentive partner. She even held out her soft palm to catch the pit from the grape Stanley had just chewed.

She was like a shy little wife, dutifully caring for Stanley.

"Seems like you can't have it both ways. No wonder Mr. Hawk has been losing tonight."

Jessica smiled, a playful pout on her lips. "Stop making fun of me, you guys."
