Janet was still in high spirits long after she had arrived home. She lay in bed and stared at Draco’s business card, turning it over and over between her fingers. Then, out of the blue, Ethan’s glum face flashed in her mind.

It suddenly occurred to her that she had been too busy recently to go on video calls with her dear husband. Janet wasted no time remedying that.

As soon as the video call connected, Ethan’s scowling face appeared on her screen. “Have you finally remembered that you left your husband here in Seacisco?” he complained.

“I’m so sorry, honey,” Janet immediately apologized. “My mom has been taking me to parties and getting me to meet the local socialites. I get so tired that I pass out as soon as I come home.”

Ethan snorted at that and rolled his eyes. “You don’t think about how I would feel, do you? You don’t care about me at all.”

It looked like he was becoming a very clingy and needy husband.

Janet had no choice but to cajole him with everything she got. She even talked sweet nothings to him for several consecutive minutes, until she finally noticed the corners of his lips twitching.

“By the way, I have some good news.”

She told him about Draco’s job offer.

And just like that, Ethan’s face darkened all over again. This time, he looked even more sullen and cross.
