Elaine was instantly infuriated when Jacob threatened her with divorce again, but she couldn't vent her anger at all. She had to suppress her wrath and endure the threat. 2
She was on the losing side because of all the money she had lost.
Hence, at this moment, she had to bear with Jacob for a while and wait for a chance to settle the score with him. 1
She sighed and said, "Dear, you're right, the spa is really expensive. I'd better save some money for our family, then."
Seeing her soft side, Jacob was relieved and even a little proud. 1
For so many years, he had never been able to subdue Elaine. In fact, whenever he raised different opinions against Elaine’s words, he would definitely earn a scolding from her.
However, from the looks of it now, Elaine seemed to have begun to compromise with him. s
If she could persist with her gentle and timid side to him, that would be so awesome!
However, Jacob couldn't help being cautious. This woman had been so domineering and overbearing all
her life, could she really change all at once? 5
He decided to give her a test! Thus, he said, "I'rn going t o take a bath, help me make a cup of tea and bring it i n." 2
Elaine asked skeptically, "Why do you want to take a bath now?"
"I'm happy, and it's none of your business.” 1
Elaine bit her lips in annoyance, but on second thought, she could fiddle with his phone when he went for his bath! Then, she could transfer the two million to her own account! 4
When she had the money, she didn't have to listen to Jacob’s nuisance! She could go for her facial, she could go to the spa, and she could play mahjong whenever she liked! If Jacob was unhappy about it, he could shove it up where the sun didn’t shine. 5
So, she immediately nodded and said graciously," Okay, dear, you work so hard every day, I will be tender to you from now on! Go ahead and take your bath, I'll go make you some tea!" 5
