Chapter 4 4

• Dylan loves Jessica very much, but Rosie is already back in his life, and Rosie is very beautiful and, most importantly, slim and simple—the way he would have preferred Jessica to be.
• So it would be easy for him to carry Jessica up to his chest and make love to her while standing in their bedroom whenever he was making love to Jessica.
• But Jessica is too heavy for him to carry now, and he couldn't do all those crazy love-making styles that he used to do with her because of her chubby body. Their sexual affairs as husband and wife have reduced and become dull.
• Jessica is also mostly preoccupied with homework and taking care of their two kids, and Dylan doesn't like how their fun moments have died down.
• He finds himself bullying Jessica every day about her chubby body, but Jessica usually smiles past it, not knowing that he is serious about it. No matter what he does to annoy her she would only smile at it and never gets annoyed with him, which frustrates him as he feels unable to leave their matrimonial home and cheat on her or find any random lady to sleep with. As it would ruin his reputation and his business too. If anyone who knows him were to see him in a clubhouse or coming out of a hotel room with a random woman who is not his wife, it would be disastrous.
• Jessica's father is also a billionaire in their state and a very influential man, and Dylan knows that he can't just cheat on Jessica and have the wild fun he always desires. But with Rosie back in the country, they have reunited.
• Dylan visited Rosie at her home, and she told him that she was still single. She even encouraged him to divorce Jessica so they could be together again.
• In Rosie's words, "Dylan, you're not the first man to divorce his wife, and you won't be the last. So please divorce that woman you have at home so that we can marry, as you promised to marry me before, since I was 16 years old."
• Dylan remembered that he was sleeping with Rosie at her home when she mentioned divorcing Jessica. He carried Rosie up on his chest and wrapped her two slender legs around his waist in that particular sexual position that he loves the most.
• Dylan agreed to divorce Jessica so he wouldn't feel guilty about cheating on her. Rosie even helped him get the divorce papers ready, as he couldn't believe he was divorcing Jessica. He couldn't speak to his lawyer about it. He only gave Rosie his full name and his wife's full name, and he hasn't even read the divorce papers that Rosie helped him prepare.
• Dylan still loves Jessica after all that she has done for him, and a part of him doesn't want to divorce her either as his wife and the mother of his two kids. Jessica has never done anything wrong to him, aside from the fact that she has gained weight, as she truly loves him and supported him in becoming the billionaire that he is today.
• Dylan stepped out of the guest room where he had slept the previous night, and stepping into the living room, he saw his two kids playing and running around at that early hour of the day.
• The time was already after 8 a.m and Dylan wondered what Jessica was still doing upstairs in their bedroom instead of preparing their kids for school and taking them there too.
• "Daddy! Daddy!" Caleb and Nina both rushed up to hug his legs when they saw him step out of the guest room corridor and into the living room.
• Dylan carried Caleb up first to his chest with his right arm and likewise lifted Nina with his left arm. He asked them, "No school today?"
• Nina looked so much like Jessica with her pretty fair face and cute chubby cheeks, while Caleb resembled Dylan with his dark skin and short black hair.
• Caleb shook his head and replied to his father, "I don't know, Dad..."
• "Mm, okay, wait, let me find out first from your mummy. And don't play rough with your sister, okay? I'm coming back," Dylan said, dropping Nina and Caleb down on their feet, before he proceeded to climb the living room stairs. He knew that he had let their last maid go, and mandated that Jessica handle all the house chores alone, in taking care of their kids because she shouldn't be sitting at home all day and lazying, while leaving all the work to their maid.
• Dylan went upstairs and walked into the bedroom. He saw Jessica crying on the bed in a dreamy state while calling out his name loudly as she screamed.
• Dylan didn't know when he rushed to meet Jessica. He scooped her up in his arms and tried to wake her from her dreaming state. "Jessica, babe, it me, Dylan. Wake up, I'm here now, babe..."
• Dylan shook Jessica visibly to wake her up as she kept calling out his name and crying, "Dylan, please don't send me away, I'm sorry, Dylan. Dylan, please..."
• "I'm here, babe. I won't send you away. Wake up now, Jessica, I'm here..." Dylan didn't know if it was one of Jessica's tricks to make him not divorce her, but he hadn't seen her in that state before, and it worried him so much until he finally woke her up.
• Jessica's forehead was covered in sweat, as was her face, as she cried in her dream and begged Dylan. Until she heard his deep masculine voice close to her ear, her eyes stared awake, and she looked up at his handsome black face in front of her, meeting his sharp blue eyes.
• "Dylan..." Jessica slowly called her husband's name to be sure he was really there. She stretched her right hand upward to touch his chin and fine jawline, confirming that he was truly with her and not just a dream as she had thought.
• Jessica caressed Dylan's jaw and blushed as she met his strong blue gaze on her. She couldn't believe that he was truly there with her in their bedroom, as she remembered that he had left their bedroom the previous night, leaving her alone to sleep on their big bed.
• Dylan saw that Jessica was finally awake as he met her unique blue eyes. He carefully sat her up on the bed and moved away from her as he stood up from the bed and stared at her face coldly.
• Dylan raked his short black hair on his head in frustration, as he met Jessica's unique gaze.
• She was so embarrassed to know that she had cried throughout the previous night, and even cried out in real life as a result of the nightmare.
• The dream looked so real. Jessica saw Dylan throwing her things outside, but as she kept crying and calling out his name, Dylan came back to his senses and didn't send her away again. Instead, he got confused by the strange woman in their home, and the strange woman angrily left after Dylan refused to send Jessica away.
• Jessica knew that she had to consult with her pastor to pray against any strange woman who was preparing to destroy her marriage. She looked at Dylan's face where he stood beside their bed, raking his short black hair as he stared away from her.
• His former gentle smile had disappeared and turned strict again. Dylan then asked her, "Aren't the kids going to school today?"
• "The kids?" Jessica looked perplexed, as she had completely forgotten about her two children. She was still seated on the bed in her white sheer nightgown.
• Jessica used the hem of her nightgown to wipe off her sweaty forehead and her tears. She sniffed before asking Dylan, "Which kids?"
• Jessica had completely forgotten about her two and saw Dylan's expression harden, as he asked her, "Our kids, Jessica? Aren't they going to school today?"
• "Oh! I forgot! They are already late," Jessica exclaimed and jumped down from the bed, preparing to rush out of the bedroom. She remembered that she wasn't wearing a bra or underwear, so she quickly walked back to the wardrobe to grab them, not minding that Dylan was staring at her.
• Dylan stood beside the magnificent bed as Jessica hurriedly took her jacket and put it on over her white nightgown, before finally exiting their bedroom.
• She rushed downstairs to the living room to meet her children, as their rooms were still on the other side of the mansion's first floor.
