Beyond the Divorce

Chapter 44 Winning Over One’s Heart

I intentionally recounted my trip to Matthew without withholding a single detail when I returned home. He beamed and praised me, “You’re a wise partner. You’re understanding and skilled at winning people’s hearts.”

However, I corrected him. “It’s not about winning people’s hearts, but about being kind. Speaking of Johnson, he’s done a lot for our family. It’s natural for a man like you not to notice these things, but women appreciate small gestures.”

Although I bustled, he thought it would amount to nothing. Still, he praised me a few times, “This is good because everyone gets to know each other. I’m out there managing while you’re the queen of the household.”

Naturally, Matthew enjoyed my role. Meanwhile, I planned to make him pay a hundred fold.
