Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption novel Chapter 187

Chapter 187: First Step...

The day started without anything unusual. The weather was bright and calm, and the tabloids were filled with news from around the world.

Jessica couldn’t wake up early. She had spent most of the night working on her designs, so much that Davis got worried and had to force her to leave her desk.

Davis woke up earlier, taking a moment to watch the sleeping woman beside him. Afterward, he left the bed, prepared breakfast, and headed to the bathroom for a quick shower.

Although they lived in a large compound with many maids and staff, they had arranged their life in such a way that it felt like they lived alone — just the two of them.

Making breakfast had become Davis’s personal duty. He had added it to his schedule because it gave him pride and joy. Meanwhile, the staff handled the other main meals.

With his movements much better now and less pain, he didn’t feel bothered anymore. With practiced ease, breakfast was ready in no time.

The delicious smell of freshly baked sausage rolls, oatmeal, tea, scrambled eggs, and mashed potatoes filled the air. The fragrance stirred Jessica awake.

"This is truly the best way to wake someone up," she muttered as she slowly opened her eyes.

Davis, sitting by the window, noticed her stirring and rolled his wheelchair over to her. It was a scene that made it seem like he was looking after a sleepy child.

"Are you sure?" he asked, his lips curling into a smile.

Jessica nodded sleepily. Davis glanced at her messy hair and puffy face — clear signs she had stayed up late — and sighed softly.

"What do I get, then?" he asked, grinning mischievously.

Jessica furrowed her brows, pretending to think hard. "I’ll answer after I hit the bathroom," she smirked, throwing off the covers and walking into the bathroom.

Davis’s gaze lingered for a moment before he pulled his eyes away, falling into deep thought.

Today had started off well. It wasn’t wrong to call it a brand-new day — a day he had long waited for, though he once thought it would never come. His heart raced, filled with a mix of excitement, nervousness, and hope. He was ready for whatever this day would bring. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Jessica came out of the bathroom shortly after, dressed in casual clothes. She had decided to work from home today. With only four months left until the fashion show, there was much to do.

As she did every year, she had already instructed Richard to keep her movements private. During this time of year, she preferred focusing entirely on her fashion company.

Seeing her, Davis asked lightly, "Not going out?"

Jessica shrugged and nodded. "Working from home, hitting the gym, restoring health, and meditating — isn’t that a perfect day?" she said with a smirk.

Davis smiled. It sounded like a full schedule with no breaks.

Jessica turned to face him, her expression serious. "Finally ready to do it?" she asked, her gaze steady.
