Chapter 66
‘Bro, have mercy.” | refused and just shouted srandom nonsense.
“Say sweet things right now!” Jared yelled. | bit my lip tightly and refused.
He seemed like he wanted to punish me, but after three tries, he looked drained. He gave up and held me
tightly, like he wanted to meltinto himself.
Even though he'd let go, he still looked upset. His chest felt tight, so he kissedagain, hard and frustrated.
| didn’t fight back. | let him have his way until he finally released me, his eyes bloodshot. “If something's
bothering you, just tellnow,” Jared said, gripping my arm. His voice was full of anger.
At that moment, neither of us was dressed. There was no way we could have a real conversation. | quickly pulled
the blanket over me. Jared grabbed his pajama top and buttoned it up while staring at me.
“What's got you so upset? You look like you lost your soul. Are you that hurt?” he asked.
Watching Jared lose it like that, | figured it was because | hadn’t been paying enough attention. | hadn't been
revolving around him like before. His pride and role as head of the family felt challenged.
“Honey, what are you even talking about? | don’t get it.” The more he pressed for answers, the vaguer | got.
Jared hated that kind of response. He clenched his jaw and sneered, “Don’t tellyou think I'm cheating... with
Tracy? Just ‘cause | took her on the trip, you're jealous? Should | fire her? Would that make you happy?”
| froze. Jared was thinking about firing Tracy for me. But in his previous life, he said she was his trusted assistant,
someone who fought alongside him.
| didn’t think he would let her go. Besides, Tracy wasn’t my enemy right now. | still needed her help to get a
divorce.
“Honey, | swear I'm not jealous of Tracy.” | held up a finger. “Tracy’s super capable. If you fire her, won't the
company lose a key player?”

“Then why do you look like that?” Jared was still mad.
| blinked innocently. “Look like what?”
“You... the way you're acting... it's like you don’t loveanymore.” Jared was so angry, he couldn't even get the
words out right.
| paused a second, and then chuckled softly. “Honey, we've been married for years. There's no passion left. I've
always seen you as family. Besides, didn’t you say there's no spark after all these years? | just want to live
peacefully now.”
| threw his own words back at him. His face turned red with frustration. Jared stormed out of the bedroom, mad
as hell. I lay back on the bed. My mood, which had been pretty good, just got even better.
| didn’t care what Jared was mad about or what was bothering him. | only cared about my peace. The next
morning, | helped Yvonne get dressed. She was still sleepy, eyes shut tight as | put on her clothes.
When she was ready, she stretched out her arms. “Mommy, carrydownstairs.”
| carried her down and set her in her chair. | placed breakfast in front of her. “Eat up.”
“Where's Daddy?” Yvonne looked toward the stairs. “Daddy usually wakes up early and goes jogging. Why hasn't

down today?”
“Don’t worry about him. Just eat. After that, I'll take you to school,” | said softly. But Yvonne jumped out of her
chair and ran upstairs.
Watching her go, | felt mixed emotions. The last t| was sick with a cold, Yvonne didn’t even ask how | was.
But now, just because Jared skipped breakfast, she was worried.

“Mm, let him sleep,” | said, already knowing why.
Yvonne frowned and added, “Daddy

her dad working so hard alone.
