h Chapter found Jeromeâs gaze and question peculiar. Taking a cautious step back, she countered, âWhy would I be upset?
âThen why didnât you come home?â Jerome demanded.
What did he mean by not coming home? Did he think that they were some loveyâdovey, inseparable couple Mikayla grumbled in her heart that he should be the one counting the days since he last came home after their wedding. 16 Not wanting to argue with Jerome about this, she rolled her eyes and walked over to the dining table where the maid had set out breakfast.
As Mikayla poured herself a cup of milk, Jerome casually requested, âPour me a glass too.â
âAre your hands for ?â Mikayla retorted.
Jerome gritted his teeth. âYou used to pour me glasses of milk and send me food Was that all just an act?
Mikayla seethed with anger at his mention of the past.
In a burst of anger she exclaimed, âWhat, am I only supposed to keep kissing your ? Iâve had enough, okay!â
Jerome felt a sharp sting from her hurtful words and responded, âWhy are you so ticked off in the mornings?â
âI wouldnât be if your stupid face didnât show up!â Mikayla shot back. 1 Holding back the frustration in his heart, Jerome added, âItâs one thing not to come home, but you could at least reply to my messages.â
âWhy did you text me? Mikayla huffed. She didnât even have the time to check her phone yesterday.
Jerome tried his best to remain patient as he explained, âIt was Mr. Whiteâs birthday yesterday.
I âSince he used to take care of me, I thought I should show him some appreciation. Thatâs why I asked Kylie to bring some vitamin supplements.â
Mikayla scoffed silently.
Jerome seemed quite fond of the Whites. Not only did he join Kylie on her birthday, but he also sent birthday gifts to her dad.
Uninterested, she remarked, âWhy are you telling me this? Iâm not interested.â
Jerome countered with displeasure, âSo why the sudden change in your attitude? Iâve said it before, if youâ have any issues, just talk to me instead of doing weird and pointless stunts.â
Mikayla suddenly out, âItâs definitely as weird as finding you a shower at another womenâs house in the middle of the !â
Jerome couldnât help but frown at her words; this was the second time she brought up the shower issue.. He , âWhen did I ever shower at someone elseâs place Angered by his persistent denial, Mikayla whipped out her phone and showed him the picture â
for yourselfiâ
Jerome took her phone and examined the picture. It captured a scene from Kylieâs house, featuring a table of food drinks and that was all there was to it.
, Jerome questioned, âWhat am I supposed to look for?â
Mikayla zoomed in on the image and pointed at his blue shirt. âDoesnât this shirt look familiar to you?â
As soon as Jerome spotted the shirt, memories of that incident flooded back.
It all began when Kylie brought up an urgent report, prompting Jerome and Mike to hurry to Bernhal Enterprise that night. It was a pressing matter that demanded their swift departure to the nearby city the following morning.
Jerome planned to stay the night in a private office at Bernhal Enterprise and tasked Mike to gather his belongings for the upcoming business trip.
Meanwhile, Kylie headed home to retrieve a document she had left behind. Unexpectedly, she called Jerome and stated that her car had broken down.
Jerome hurried to her aid but ended up getting his shirt stained. Upon reaching Kylieâs house, she suggested he change into new clothes while she retrieved the forgotten document.
