Chapter 154 She Is His World

Every day after returning home, Jaxson would head straight to his study, addressing the residue of his day's work. By the time he would finally emerge, it was almost always when Elinor was on the brink of sleep. However, tonight, as Elinor emerged freshly bathed, she was surprised to find Jaxson already in the bedroom. "You're not dealing with work today?" she queried. Jaxson reached out a hand, and Elinor handed him her towel, sitting beside him as he tenderly dried her hair. "No rush for work, or perhaps I thought if I don't spend some time with you soon, I may end up without a wife," he remarked in a tone that was oddly somber. Elinor, puzzled by his unusual demeanor, shot back, "What are you rambling on about?" "Today, while waiting for you, I saw a classmate of yours approach you. It was like you were his entire world. If I weren't there, he'd probably have confessed his feelings," Jaxson spoke, a tinge of acidity lining his words. Elinor's eyes widened in disbelief.
