The reason Rick was able to lower his stance and even kneel to beg for forgiveness after his affair was also closely related to Vienna’s affluent background.
Rick was an outsider; being able to buy a house and settle in Coastville was not only due to his own efforts but also thanks to the support of his in-laws.
In this society, not only are women realistic, but men are equally so.
In Rick’s view, Vienna was indeed a good candidate for a wife, but after gaining some status in society, his restless heart could not be contained. Coupled with the nature of his job as a marketing director, which involved a lot of socializing, he found excuses to come home late or even not at all, creating opportunities for him to seek pleasure outside.
Vienna had firmly decided to divorce, but she felt that simply getting a divorce was not fair; she wanted to give him a big green hat, so her heart would feel more balanced.
Vienna was not someone who couldn’t find a man, nor was she without suitors.
It was just that she had adhered to the role of a virtuous wife after marriage! “Mr. Jacob, we are both good people.”
“But good people are always the ones who get bullied and hurt.”
As she spoke, Vienna had already stepped into the kitchen, inching closer to Jacob.
Previously, it was mentioned that Jacob had not played cards for over three months; being a normal man full of energy, and with Mira’s groundwork at the gym, he could hardly resist such temptation.
Moreover, upon learning that Vienna was Rick’s wife, this thought had indeed flashed through his mind, and thus, everything unfolded naturally.
Vienna pressed her hands against the stove where she usually cooked, while Jacob’s hands gripped her slender waist (this part is omitted for brevity).
After countless trials and tribulations, still standing strong, no matter the winds from east, west, south, or north! A fierce battle began in the kitchen and ended in the living room.
“Mr. Jacob, let’s take a shower.”
After resting on the sofa for a while, Vienna sat up.
“Mm,” Jacob nodded and simply carried her into the bathroom.
Initially, he just wanted to take a simple shower, but Jacob felt that the earlier revenge was not satisfying enough. Coupled with Vienna’s unrestrained demeanor after a long drought, the two unlocked the bathroom map once again.
With the previous experience as a foundation, this time lasted over half an hour. If it weren’t for Jacob’s physical condition from delivering takeout for months, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to handle it.
Even so, he lay on the bed wrapped in a towel for quite a while before regaining some strength.
However, when he walked to the bathroom, he still felt a bit light-headed in his legs. First, the two fierce battles were indeed exhausting, and second, he had only eaten two tea eggs and half a bowl of porridge for breakfast, leaving his energy reserves in a deficit state. Engaging in such strenuous activity was only possible because of his good physical condition; otherwise, someone else would probably not be able to get up at this point.
At this moment, a faint blush appeared on Vienna’s fair skin, giving her a radiant look.
Indeed, beautiful flowers need nurturing!
However, Vienna, who had expended too much energy and lost a lot of moisture, did not want to move at all. Her soft body curled up in the blanket, her eyes squinting as she reminisced about the peak moments she had just experienced.
At that moment, her phone on the bedside table suddenly vibrated; it was a call from Rick.
Feeling a bit guilty, she sat up in bed. Although she had made up her mind to divorce, they were still technically married.
If she got caught, her advantage in dividing assets would vanish.
“Mr. Jacob, I need to take a call; it’s Rick.”
Vienna shouted towards Jacob, who was running water in the bathroom, then took a deep breath before answering the call.
“Why did it take you so long to answer the phone in the middle of the day?”
Rick’s voice came through the phone, filled with complaints.
“I was tired and sleeping,” Vienna replied casually.
“I’ll be in the underground garage in ten minutes; bring my Ermenegildo Zegna suit down. I have to entertain an important client tonight.”
Rick Zapper’s voice came through the receiver, and she could vaguely hear the sound of a car horn, indicating he was driving home.
“Uh, okay!”
Vienna quickly responded and hung up the phone.
Thank goodness Rick Zapper called in advance; if he had come home directly to get his clothes, that would have been quite a scene.
“Is there something going on?”
After cleaning up the ‘revenge weapon,’ Jacob returned to the bedroom, getting dressed while asking.
