Five Years of Marriage to Mr. Bradford (by Koi Fish) novel Chapter 29

Rebecca felt utterly helpless. She didn’t want to be Mrs. Bradford anymore.

“What’s your obsession with keeping me in this house?” she demanded. “I don’t want to be Mrs. Bradford forever. Let Catherine threaten my position. Is that so difficult?”

Vance paused, then laughed, dismissing it as another childish tantrum. Without a word, he headed to the

master bedroom to take a shower.

After that ordeal, Rebecca was covered in sweat. She took another quick shower, changed into a T–shirt, and lay back down.

“Ma’am…” Nancy faltered.

“What else did he say?” Rebecca asked, surprised by how verbose Vance could be.

“Well,” Nancy said, “there’s something I’m not sure if I should say.”

Rebecca sighed softly, “Go ahead.”

“I don’t mean to meddle,” Nancy stammered nervously. “I’m just speaking from experience. You know, in a marriage, intimacy is important. Since Mr. Bradford took the initiative, wouldn’t things improve if you two had a child?”

Her words crossed the boundary a bit, but Rebecca knew that she was coming from a good place.
