Josephine loved the fabric so much that even after it faded from washing, she couldn’t bear to throw it away.
Later, during a video call, she saw Helena wearing the same nightgown and immediately threw hers out…
Wilfred hadn’t called Declan yet, but Declan called him first.
“Fred, if you want to blame anyone for what happened last night, blame me. Don’t blame Lena.”
“I was the one who told her to give herself to you to repay your kindness. She refused at first, saying that even though she liked you, she couldn’t take advantage of you while you were vulnerable.”
“I was also the one who told her to bring you the honey water.”
“She’s a good, clean girl, Fred. Don’t let her lose both her body and her heart…”
Wilfred subconsciously glanced at the red stain on the sheets.
Yes, she really was a good, clean girl.
“By the way, Fred, Josephine also found a man last night–Zachery. The two of them went to the hotel at the music restaurant, booked a European–style suite, ordered room service in the middle of the night, and still haven’t come out yet.”
The cigarette in Wilfred’s hand suddenly dropped onto the blanket.
It instantly burned an irreparable hole.
Helena came out of the shower to see Wilfred already dressed in slacks and a shirt, storming downstairs.
Yvonne saw Wilfred coming down and was about to mention the divorce certificate, but Wilfred didn’t even look at her and went straight out.
She shouted loudly, “Wilfred, where are you going? Stop right there!”

Wilfred heard her but didn’t react at all.
The Bentley roared away from Rose Manor like an enraged beast.
In the hotel.
Zachery’s phone rang. It was a call from the landline at Rose Manor.
Zachery knocked on the bathroom door.
Josephine, who was taking a shower, opened the door a crack and took the phone.
“Zoey.”
“Josie. I did everything just as you said… Madam didn’t recognize Helena, and she slapped her twice in anger, haha.”
Zoey didn’t mean to laugh, but she just couldn’t hold it in.
After laughing, Zoey added, “Madam said she would have Mr. Hayden go with you to get the divorce certificate.”
“Thank you, Zoey.”
“No need to thank me. By the way, Mr. Hayden just drove out. I wonder if he went to the courthouse?”
After hanging up with Zoey, Josephine finally felt at ease.
Her bag and phone were still at the music restaurant.
She needed to get them back quickly, in case she missed a call from Wilfred inviting her to the courthouse.
Josephine thought Zachery was still waiting at the door, so she handed the phone out through the crack.
After waiting two seconds and no one took it, she asked softly, “Zachery? Zachery, are you still there?”
There was no response.
Josephine pulled her hand back, locked the door, and continued her shower.
At that moment, Zachery was gulping down water, trying to suppress a certain urge.

Men in the morning are already dangerous.
God knows how many capillaries had burst in him since last night.
And Josephine, of all people, was the type to be alluring without even realizing it.
The glass door of the bathroom would reveal a silhouette–the closer you got, the clearer it
became.
And Josephine had stood right at the door to take the call.
The moment Zachery saw Josephine’s shadow, he forgot how to breathe.
It was even more seductive than Josephine herself.
Like a fairy from a painting.
Tall and slender, but with curves exactly where they should be–every line just right.
He understood the principle of ‘do not look at what is improper.‘
So, as soon as he regained control of himself, he left immediately.
But Josephine’s shadow, the way she walked, every movement-
They replayed in his mind over and over, lingering for a long time…
Someone knocked at the door–it was the hotel room service, delivering their wet clothes from the night before.
They still felt damp to the touch.
