Don't Try to Escape, My Wife!

"You seem to understand something. Could it be that Emory had come here on a mission?"

Samuel frowned at Jarrod's words. He said, "I don't know what happened to him. All I have is your word and the credibility is in question. What can I know? If you know Emory has an army here, then you must know where he is. Tell me."

"What makes you think I'll tell you?"

Jarrod hated to see Samuel like this, so he felt a little annoyed.

Samuel said in a causal manner, "In your current state, do you think that I would let you off without telling me?"

"What do you want?"

Jarrod became vigilant.

Samuel gave an evil smile and said, "You are weak and even my wife can subdue you. Do you think you stand a chance?"

"Don't threaten me. I have help here. Do you forget about Amelia?"

Jarrod wasn't worried that Samuel would attack him. Samuel would have tried if he wanted to. And even if he did try, Amelia would be able to stop them.

Samuel peered at Amelia who was pouring water outside and teased, "What's the matter? Is she your woman? You wife?"

Jarrod paused for a moment. Gazing at Amelia's figure, he said, "No. She is my 18-year-old present from my father."

Samuel was slightly stunned.

He knew what Jarrod meant.

In ancient times, when a man reached the age of eighteen, a woman would be given to him by an elder. This woman would give the men sex education in person. Generally speaking, such a woman was carefully selected by the elder. She was given to the men for two reasons — to relieve his boredom and to monitor whether he behaved himself. Once the man did something very wrong, such behavior would be reported to the elder immediately. In other words, she was the eye of the elders.

Samuel never thought that Aaron would control Jarrod in such an old-fashioned way.

"Was she with you when you were in the army?"

"Yes. Money talks. Bringing a woman into the military camp was a piece of cake."

Jarrod gave a self-mocking smile.

Only then did Samuel realize why Jarrod didn't say anything in front of Amelia.

"Why didn't you kill her?"

When some men had their own power, they would kill the woman and forge the scene to make it look like an accident. In that case, they wouldn't be spied on by their elders.

For Jarrod, this was an easy task.

Jarrod answered, "Why should I kill Amelia? If I kill her, someone else will take her place. Also, I'm a neat freak, and one woman is enough for me. I don't want to sleep with strange women."
