Chapter 1906

Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)

Sophie quickly picked up on Jenna's fear that Adler might end up like Freddie had. Everything seemed perfect at first. But as time went on, Freddie treated his wife like yesterday's news. Sophie reassured her, saying, "I can't speak for everyone, but Adler's not like that."

"Why?" Jenna asked.

"Because he's always been the one to take the hits," Sophie replied.

"..."

Honestly, how many guys out there are okay with being bossed around by the same woman for over a decade?

"...Yeah, that makes sense," Jenna admitted, sinking into the couch with a heavy heart. The wedding was just two days away, but the shadow of her parents' failed marriage loomed large, making her anxious about taking the plunge.

Jenna had opened up to Sophie about her family issues, so Sophie knew exactly what was eating at her. Adler, busy with wedding stuff, would come home his usual carefree self, seemingly oblivious to Jenna's emotional turmoil. Sophie had tried dropping hints, but Adler, clueless as ever, just wasn't getting it.

Jenna shook her head, resigned. Being a strong, independent woman, Adler probably figured she had no reason to be upset.

"Jenna..."

Sophie wanted to comfort her, but Jenna wasn't in the mood for talking; she just wanted to crash. Adler had vanished into the bathroom a while ago and hadn’t reappeared. As Sophie watched Jenna head upstairs alone, she couldn't help but worry.

Colby, standing nearby, said, "Don't stress, Adler will sort it out."

"Sort it out? I was hinting all through dinner, and he didn't pick up on a thing."

For women, it's all about feeling secure. With things as they were, who knew if Jenna still wanted to go through with the wedding?

Jenna was stunned. Adler handed her a bouquet, grinning, "Jenna, do you like it?"

"What... what's all this for?" Jenna stammered, finally finding her voice.

"I noticed you seemed down lately. Are you... having second thoughts?"

"No... I'm not," Jenna said, turning her head away.

Adler replied, "Your feelings are written all over your face. How could I not notice?"

"Then how come you missed all of Sophie's hints at dinner?"

"Who asked you to swear!" Jenna's expression softened as she took the bouquet from him, a rare hint of shyness in her voice. "No more of this, okay?"

"What... no more of what?"
