Chapter 93
Mikayla found Jerome’s gaze and question peculiar. Taking a cautious step back, she countered, “Why
would I be upset?”
“Then why didn’t you come home?” Jerome demanded.
What did he mean by not coming home? Did he think that they were some lovey–dovey, 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, “Pour me a glass too.”
“Are your hands for nothing?” Mikayla retorted.
Jerome gritted his teeth. “You used to pour me glasses of milk and send me food. Was that all just an act? Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Mikayla seethed with anger at his mention of the past.
In a burst of anger, she exclaimed, “What, am I only supposed to keep kissing your ass? I’ve had enough,
okay!”
Jerome felt a sharp sting from her hurtful words and responded, “Why are you so ticked off in the
mornings?”
“I wouldn’t be if your stupid face didn’t show up!” Mikayla shot back. 1
Holding back the frustration in his heart, Jerome added, “It’s one thing not to come home, but you could
at least reply to my messages.”
“Why did you text me? Mikayla huffed. She didn’t even have the time to check her phone yesterday.
Jerome tried his best to remain patient as he explained, “It was Mr. White’s birthday yesterday.
I
“Since he used to take care of me, I thought I should show him some appreciation. That’s why I asked Kylie to bring him some vitamin supplements.”
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, “Why are you telling me this? I’m not interested.”
Jerome countered with displeasure, “So why the sudden change in your attitude? I’ve said it before, if you‘ have any issues, just talk to me instead of doing weird and pointless stunts.”
Mikayla suddenly blurted out, “It’s definitely not as weird as finding you taking a shower at another women’s house in the middle of the night!”
Jerome couldn’t help but frown at her words; this was the second time she brought up the shower issue.. He asked, “When did I ever shower at someone else’s place?”
Angered by his persistent denial, Mikayla whipped out her phone and showed him the picture. “See for yourselfi”
Jerome took her phone and examined the picture. It captured a scene from Kylie’s house, featuring a table of food and drinks–and that was all there was to it.
Puzzled, Jerome questioned, “What am I supposed to look for?”
Mikayla zoomed in on the image and pointed at his blue shirt. “Doesn’t this shirt look familiar to you?”
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 Kylie’s house, she suggested he change into new clothes while she retrieved the forgotten document.
