Jennyfer immediately opened the car door before Jackson could do it for her. Somehow, she had been feeling that something between them lately was… wrong. Deep down, she knew it was inappropriate—especially the thought of sharing a bedroom with Jackson.Without asking her anything, Jackson went ahead and ordered lunch. Truthfully, he himself couldn’t describe what he was feeling right now. Jennyfer’s simple words earlier had somehow managed to make him feel… unappreciated by his young wife.Even when their food arrived, Jackson didn’t invite her to start eating, which made Jennyfer’s heart ache quietly. She knew Jackson must be upset with her, so she chose to stay silent.Jackson watched his young wife quietly while continuing to eat. It was clear that Jennyfer looked uncomfortable with what she had said earlier, and that made Jackson start planning something—something that might make her feel more at ease.When he finished his meal, Jackson was busy with his phone. Originally, his pla

After finishing everything, Jackson and Jennyfer got back into the car to head to their next destination.Several pairs of eyes were still watching Jackson’s car closely—and this time, three faces inside a car behind them were laughing out loud.“Serves them right!” Dirman shouted between his laughter with his two friends.“Let them die! That way, our job’s done!” Santoso added while keeping his hands on the steering wheel, following wherever Jackson’s car went.“Don’t be stupid,” Hendrik interrupted. “If he dies, how will we get his money, huh? Once we succeed, all we have to do is deliver the girl to Boss. Let that loser stay alive so we can drain him through our Boss’s girlfriend.”Yes—these were Jacob’s friends, carrying out the orders he had given them in exchange for a generous payment.Earlier that morning, Jacob had received a call from Brielle and moved quickly. He sent his three lackeys to do the job, not wanting to appear involved if anything went wrong—because he had his o

Jennyfer began to feel uneasy about the questions she had thrown at Jackson — the man who had always treated her so kindly all this time.“Yeah, yeah. Jenny’s sorry, Brother. It’s just… this room surprised me. It looks like it appeared instantly.”Jennyfer quickly changed the subject, not wanting to dwell on something that wasn’t really her business.“Don’t overthink it. What matters is that now you can sleep alone without me around, right?”“Hehee.” Jennyfer could only chuckle at Jackson’s words, but seeing her like that made Jackson’s heart sink a little.“Alright then. Go take a shower,” Jackson said as he turned around to leave.“W–Wait! This room doesn’t have a bathroom?!”“Hmm. If you want to shower or use the toilet, you’ll still have to go to my room,” Jackson replied casually. Of course, he had planned everything that way—he didn’t want to lose every moment he could spend with the woman he adored, even if they were now sleeping in separate rooms.Jennyfer stared at him in dis

Now Jacob’s business mind began working rapidly. He was already thinking about how to build a partnership with the owner of that incredibly expensive luxury car. The idea thrilled him, and he started strategizing how to approach that “Sultan-level” owner who looked so amazing in his imagination.“Jenn, Jenny?”Jackson called softly to his young wife, who had once again fallen asleep — this time because she was too comfortable sitting in the luxurious car that belonged to him.“Jenny… hey, wake up, sweetheart,” Jackson called again with a smile on his lips. Moments like this allowed him to call his beloved wife however he pleased — she was still asleep, her eyes gently closed.Jennyfer slowly opened her eyes when Jackson held her hand and gave it a light shake. Her beautiful eyes fluttered open, and she immediately placed a hand on her stomach, which for some reason felt slightly cramped.“Sss…” a soft hiss escaped her pink lips, and that made Jackson frown instantly.“What’s wrong? Ar

Standing quietly behind the wall, Jackson smiled faintly. He hadn’t expected his little wife to finally stand up for herself and dare to answer her sister back. All this time, whatever Brielle said or commanded, Jennyfer would only nod without a word of protest. In truth, when Jackson had lived in his mother-in-law’s house, he’d learned a lot from Jennyfer’s patience — from her quiet, obedient nature that hid a strength no one else saw.But a second later, Jackson froze. His brows furrowed sharply, his jaw tightening.How did they know I enrolled Jenny in college? That means… earlier—That realization made Brielle’s face burn with embarrassment. Yes, she had been caught — and it was clear that the only thing in her mind was money, money, and more money. That was all she had ever seen in any man. And now, she was trapped by her own greed. If only she hadn’t made that one small mistake back then, she would’ve been Mrs. Jackson by now, living a life of comfort and luxury.She knew Jackso
