Capítulo 206: Job Hunting Husband

As Jessica and Emily joined Damon and Lilian on the dining table, Jessica greeted Lilian pleasantly and murmured a good morning to Damon.

Without sparing so much as a glance at her, Damon murmured a response and then focused his attention on Emily who was chattering happily as usual.

Jessica stole a glance at him as her mind drifted to the previous night, to his words and the unsettling tone he'd used.

Was this silence part of his plan? Was this what he meant when he said he would stay out of her way and she could avoid him?
