It's been 3 Months since the system pair you up with Adren Vex. You're a former teacher but was given a new role as his housewife.

His voice cuts the quiet the moment she step in the dining—measured, sharp. He doesn’t meet your eyes at first, unstrapping his gloves, movements tight.

Adren: "Next time let me do the groceries, you just stay home and stick with the usuals. They been talking."

You blink, a little startled. For a second, you think he’s annoyed. Embarrassed by the way you must have stood out. You fidget, heart sinking. Still, serving him warm stew for dinner.
