The General Who Hates Me

Thea looked at the clock on the wall and let out a long sigh.

It was already late in the evening, and Jeru was still not home. "This is frustrating," Thea complained.

Following Jeru’s grandmother’s visit to their place a while ago, she rarely saw her husband. Just like last night, he often returned home past midnight, when she was already deep in her slumber and left for work again before she woke up in the morning.

Sometimes he even had to sleep in his office. And the worst was last week when he had to go on a business trip overseas for a few days all of a sudden. He could only inform his wife about the trip when he was already on his way to the airport to catch his flight.

But Thea was grateful that Jeru would always report about his whereabouts to her, even without her asking.

Because of his insane workload, Jeru could no longer drive Thea to work nor pick her up from work anymore. And so he had arranged for a personal chauffeur to drive her around.

"How come he became so busy suddenly?" She muttered while she moved around restlessly in bed, trying hard to sleep.

But she could not sleep. Because she missed her husband terribly.

Gavin told her that the likelihood of Old Madam Liu being the person behind Jeru’s absurd workload was very high since she was still the Chairman of the Liu group, and she was the only person who could decide when and where to assign Jeru to a task. The intention? It was definitely to bully Jeru and her.

"I hope it’s not true," Thea murmured before she closed her eyes and tried her best to sleep, knowing that a proper sleep was needed for her baby’s health.
