The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 982:

After her recent bout with a mild fever, Gemma had felt lethargic for days.

Pierre tried new recipes every day to ensure she received the essential nutrients.

Initially, too weak to eat on her own, Gemma depended on Pierre’s assistance. Even as her strength returned, she enjoyed the comfort of him feeding her.

Pierre generally had little interest in such light topics, but he played along for Gemma’s sake. “Who do you think cooks better?”
