Chapter 5: Best Friend
Since it was a high-end residency with elevators, Jessie spent no effort reaching her new home as she barely had any luggage.
There were several bedrooms here, one being the master bedroom, with the rest of the guest rooms slightly smaller. Instead of taking the master bedroom, she picked a guest bedroom. After moving her luggage inside, she quickly cleaned up.
Since they had just married and weren’t really familiar with each other yet, it was better to keep good personal space for both of them.
As for their potential intimate interactions, to be honest, she didn’t mind helping her husband with physical needs as a legal wife. However, she would never bring it up if Kevin didn’t ask.
She looked around, roughly planning the furniture and items she needed to buy. She disliked takeout and deliveries, so she thought of buying some kitchen utensils since there was a large supermarket next door where she could easily buy fresh vegetables and groceries.
As for Kevin, she didn’t know his preferences yet. If he didn’t eat at home, she could just cook her own meals. But if he did, it’s better to figure out his dietary restrictions or allergies since she didn’t mind making an extra portion for him.
After tidying up, she glanced at her phone and realized her best friend Lilian had called several times.
She had been unpacking while her phone was on silent, so she didn’t notice it.
Jessie quickly returned the call, and Lilian picked up almost immediately.
"Jessie, how many times have I called you?! You finally picked up! Do you have any idea how worried I was? I was about to call the police if you didn’t show up soon!" Lilian’s frustrated voice came through.
Jessie felt a little guilty and explained, "Sorry, I was unpacking my luggage. Aren’t you supposed to be at work today?"
At that moment, Lilian was sitting in a café and having a good time enjoying some tiramisu. She shook her head and replied, "I sealed a majordeal today. My supervisor not only gave me a bonus but also gave me two days off to rest. Since I’m in a good mood today, I want to treat you to a big meal! Wait a moment, why did you move? Did your stepfather say something to push you again?"
