Chapter 1379: Competitor became a love rival

~ Los Angeles, Jarred's villa ~

Sunday

5:45 PM

Mrs. Ronin is sitting in the garden and staring blankly at the fountain.

Jarred is in the study. He usually spends one-to-two hours in the morning and the same amount of time in the afternoon in his study, dealing with work-related matters.

Mrs. Ronin knows that part of Jarred's work involves weapons and dealings with shady organizations, but she decided not to poke her nose in that. If Jarred wants to disclose something, he will. She trusts that if he is keeping something away from her, there is a reason. 

Little by little, Jarred is introducing her to his work, and he is also talking about his family as well. Mrs. Ronin can see that Jarred plans for her to be by his side, as an equal, just how he promised, and that gradually he is presenting his world to her. Her heart warms up at that thought, and she can't help but compare her current relationship with how Angelo used to treat her.
