After a while, Rochester came out of the bathroom and walked towards the other side of the bed with footsteps. Then the mattress sank slightly and a corner of the blanket was lifted.
Jane smelled a faint cold fragrance, a deep cold breath, a sense of aggression, a woody tone and body temperature, and a faint tobacco fragrance in the base note.
The scent imprinted with Rochester's personal logo.
The dim light from the floor lamp cannot reach the bed, and the night was particularly quiet, so quiet that you can hear gentle breathing sounds.
The two of them each occupied half of the big bed, separated by a cold barrier.
After lying quietly for a while, Jane looked at Rochester. Perhaps due to the darkness, his silhouette appeared deep and cold.
"Are you asleep?"
In the darkness, everything was quiet, and Rochester's cold and tired voice was slightly impatient: "Be quiet."
Jane touched the safety lock on her neck and turned around.
The next day, when Jane woke up, there was no one next to her.
She woke up and washed up, and when she arrived at the living room, she found Rochester neatly dressed and sitting at the dining table, browsing real-time US stock market trends with a pad. Upon hearing her come out, he raised his eyes and said, "Where is Mrs. Chen?"
Jane opened the refrigerator and said, "I'm fired."
Rochester frowned and didn't say anything.
Jane quickly fried two eggs, thought for a moment, added ham slices, lettuce, and cheese, made two sandwiches, and brought them to the restaurant.
Rochester glanced at her and said, 'Do you usually eat this kind of thing?'
What's wrong? This was already much better than Jane's usual food. She rushed to work in the morning and usually solved breakfast with just two slices of toast. In her heart, she said whether you like to eat or not.
A cat meow sounded from behind the sofa, and Jane turned around to see the timid mother cat sticking out a small head. A few days ago, in the heavy rainstorm, she picked up a litter of small vagrants in the hospital. The newborn kitten was shivering in the rain, and the female cat was also skinny.
She couldn't bear it, so she had to take it home first, thinking about adopting it until the full moon and sending it out. Unexpectedly, Rochester suddenly returned.
He didn't allow Jane to keep cats. When he went out for a year, Jane also rescued a stray cat and wanted to bring it home to keep. When he called him for advice, he only replied with one word: "No."
Jane had already locked the cat in an empty room, but she didn't know it would be so smart. She opened the door and ran out on her own.
Rochester indeed frowned and said, "Where did the wildcat come from?"
His tone was full of disgust, and Jane felt uncomfortable listening. He walked over and picked up the cat, muttering, "I was born." Rochester responded lightly, "Then you should apply for the Nobel Prize
Jane put the cat back in the room, and when she came out, he had already put on his coat. The sandwich she had made was still on the table, untouched.
Rochester tied his tie in front of the mirror and announced the death sentence to the cat without looking back: 'you should get rid of it before I come back.' Jane didn't respond.
Why killed all the small animals whose survival was not a problem in such a big villa.
He was so wealthy, but his heart was actually very malicious.
Rochester caught her expression in the mirror and said, "What are you scolding me for in your heart?"
"Who dares to scold you? "Jane said." I will keep them locked up and not come out again. I will disinfect the house every day and send them away when I find an adopter. "She rushed to work, packed sandwiches in plastic bags, and prepared to eat them on the way.
"If you can't bear it, you can go live somewhere else."
Rochester chuckled and said, "I haven't seen you for half a year, but my temper has grown. As soon as I came back, I was kicked away."
Jane remained silent and lowered her head to change shoes.
Her work attire focused on comfort, with loose sweaters and tight jeans wrapping around her beautiful long legs.
When bending down to put on shoes, the curve from waist to hips was very tempting.
Jane didn't have time to chat this time: "I'm in a hurry to go to work, let's talk about it when I come back."
After checking the room, Jane was at the ophthalmology clinic all morning. There were many patients today, and it wasn't until almost 2 o'clock that it was over. There was nothing left in the cafeteria, so she casually ordered some food.
While eating, she received a call from Emily asking her to go back today.
Jane responded, hung up the phone, lowered her head and poked at the white rice, suddenly feeling a bit nauseous.
After work in the afternoon, the driver L came to pick her up, and Jane got on the car.
After her parents were killed, she stayed in a welfare home for several years before being adopted by the Z family, which was called adoption, but in fact, it was just financial support. If a pyramid was used to represent the class of the entire L City, the Z family was the pinnacle of the pyramid, a class that ordinary people cannot touch.
She was an orphan, and being adopted by the Z family was already a stroke of luck.
Of course, no one expected that her luck would leave her twice, and later she married the second son of the Z family.
Jane sat in the living room waiting for a while, while Emily, dressed in an elegant cheongsam, came down from upstairs.
I heard you drove Chen away?
Jane was not surprised that she would know, "Did she come to complain to you?"
After Jane and Rochester got married, the Z family sent a nanny over. Mrs. Chen was quick witted and meticulous in her work.
Rochester was not at home all year round, only she and Chen met every day
, so Jane treated her very well. She taken all the high-end ingredients and supplements that cannot be eaten at home, and gives her red envelopes during festivals and holidays.
Mrs. Chen's job was actually very leisurely, while Jane was quite busy at work and didn't have much time to stay at home. She turned a blind eye to many small things and didn't care about them.
Once when the hospital needed to fill out documents, Jane's ID couldn't be found everywhere and was urgently needed. Chen was not at home and the phone couldn't be reached. In the end, Jane found the person at a mahjong stall.
Her friend said, "What time is it and if you don't go back, aren't you afraid your master will scold you?"
Chen lost a lot at that time, and she couldn't bear to get off the table when she was in a high position.
"She's busy with work and can't come back to this point. Besides, my salary is paid by the Z family, not her. Even if she finds out, what can she do to me? "" "That person is also the Z family's young lady, so she's just lying on the side of the bush and dismissing you just because she said."
"Come on. "Mrs. Chen said disdainfully." Our second son doesn't come home a few times a year. Where does she go to blow the pillow breeze?"
Middle aged women were the most gossiping: "Oh, is their marital relationship not good?"
"What's so good about it? Our second son just got married and went out. I heard he went to pursue his childhood sweetheart's first love. This wife was forced to marry by his family, and it's annoying just to look at her."
"So, women still need to have some means, otherwise being beautiful is useless, and they can't win men's hearts."
Everyone had the instinct to watch others' dishes, but Jane never expected to hear such heart wrenching words from her kind nanny. Mrs. Chen had a great time gossiping, but when she turned around and saw Jane standing behind her, she was so scared that she almost threw her cards out and apologized in a panic.
Jane didn't say anything at the time, just asked her to go home and find the certificate that was misplaced. That night, she had her leave.
Emily sat down and said, " Chen is just gossiping behind her back. Although she can't make it to the public, it's not a big deal. At least you're Rochester 's wife, the second wife of the Z family. You can't even control a nanny, how could you not be looked down upon?"
Jane pulled his lower lip.
She didn't know what Mrs. Chen said in front of Emily, but no matter what, whether it's her fault or not, Emily was always dissatisfied with her, from childhood to adulthood.
Jane had long been accustomed to not explaining, and even if she explained to Emily, she wouldn't turn against her and brought shame upon herself.
"You can forget about it yourself. Now that Rochester has returned, you can't cook or take care of the household chores. Are you planning to wait for him to come home and serve you? "
Jane said in her heart, not without serving him.
But she dared not say this in front of Emily.
