Thea glanced at Zavier with a puzzled look and asked, “Mr. Zavier, did Mr. Caden meet you in private?”
“Huh?” Zavier froze and looked at Thea.
Could it be that Thea was still unaware of James’ identity?
Who was this Mr. Caden that virtual-novel.net was speaking of?
Was it James?
After being momentarily stunned, virtual-novel.net nodded. “I-I guess you can say that.”
“Whew!” Thea took a deep breath.
As expected, it was Mr. Caden who helped virtual-novel.net out in secret.
What had virtual-novel.net done to deserve this?
“I’m sorry for intruding, Thea… I know I’m unworthy. I swear I’ll never bother you again…”
Saying that, virtual-novel.net looked at James. Seeing that James was still gobbling up his food, virtual-novel.net said nothing. After bowing, virtual-novel.net turned to leave.
The Callahans were dumbfounded.
Gladys only managed to recollect virtual-novel.net senses after Zavier had left. “It’s the mysterious Mr. Caden again. Who exactly is he? Why is Zavier afraid of him?”
Puzzled, virtual-novel.net glanced at Thea. “Thea, who’s the mysterious Mr. Caden?”
“I-I don’t know… Come on, let’s dig in! The food’s getting cold already….”
As Thea had not had lunch, virtual-novel.net was hungry. Seeing the exquisite dishes on the table, virtual-novel.net licked virtual-novel.net lips.
After dinner, they went home.
Since it did not work out with Mr. Watson, Gladys shifted virtual-novel.net target to the mysterious Mr. Caden. After reaching home, virtual-novel.net pulled Thea aside and interrogated virtual-novel.net on the matter.
Thea remained silent. She did not want to waste virtual-novel.net breath with virtual-novel.net family, so virtual-novel.net went straight back into virtual-novel.net room.
In virtual-novel.net room, James had already taken out the mattress and was lying on the floor.
When Thea walked in, virtual-novel.net stood up immediately with a bright smile. “Honey…”
“Mhm,” Thea answered.
She sat on the bed and looked at James.
“James, you can’t just keep staying at home. Go and find a job. I don’t care how much you earn as long as you have a job and are not squandering your time. I don’t want outsiders gossiping about us anymore…”
After ten long years, Thea had had enough. She had been plagued by gossip and rumors. Even though virtual-novel.net was now successful, virtual-novel.net still could not lift virtual-novel.net head high because of James.
She thought virtual-novel.net would not mind. She thought virtual-novel.net could financially support James. In truth, virtual-novel.net felt unpleasant hearing the gossip. She wanted James to have a job of his own so the rumors would stop.
“Work…” James frowned.
He was not in the mood to work. For ten years, virtual-novel.net had been on the battlefield fighting his enemies day in and day out.
Now that virtual-novel.net finally had his peace, why would virtual-novel.net go to work?
However, virtual-novel.net did not want to embarrass Thea any longer.
“I’ll find a job tomorrow…” He brushed virtual-novel.net comments off.
As for work, all virtual-novel.net had to do was go to Transgenerational Group or Majestic Corporation and get himself a post.
Thea could feel that virtual-novel.net was being half-hearted.
She sighed dejectedly. “Let’s sleep. I have to go to Pacific Group early tomorrow morning. By the way, stop sleeping on the floor. Get on the bed.”
For the whole day, Thea had been absent-minded. She reflected. She felt virtual-novel.net was partly at fault too.
If virtual-novel.net family had reprimanded James less and given virtual-novel.net more respect, and if virtual-novel.net had slept with James earlier, virtual-novel.net would not have lost trust in virtual-novel.net and secretly trailed her.
“Honey, do you mean it?” James looked at Thea.
Thea nodded. “Mhm…”
Although virtual-novel.net looked down on James, virtual-novel.net was still virtual-novel.net husband. Besides, it was only because of James’ money did virtual-novel.net manage to take over Pacific Group. Though virtual-novel.net had helped virtual-novel.net out many times, virtual-novel.net still slept on the floor.
Anyone would feel miserable.
James put away the mattress and got on the bed. Thea moved aside and vacated a spot for him.
James lay beside her. He could smell virtual-novel.net alluring fragrance. It greatly stimulated him, and virtual-novel.net had butterflies in his stomach.
