Chapter 117 Living Separately
Back when Josephine had just gotten married, Tanya remembered Josephine mentioning that Jonathan was not only useless but was also steep deep in debt.
Just like a coward, he would hide at home every day doing household chores, very much unlike what a real man should be doing.
In fact, she remembered pitying Josephine for marrying Jonathan.
But now, why is everything so different? Jonathan doesn’t look like a cowardly piece of trash at all. In fact, he even beat up the Ximenez brothers and broke their legs on a whim. This was despite the Ximenez family’s vast influence in Jazona. Anyone rich who offended the Ximenez brothers would suffer the consequences, let alone someone like Jonathan. Not only did Jonathan break their legs, but Ms. Hansley of the prominent Hansley family also had to ingratiate herself with him. What’s really going on here?
“I don’t know either!” Josephine shook her head with her eyebrows knitted.
Compared to three years ago, Jonathan’s changes were simply drastic.
In fact, she couldn’t even tell when Jonathan was telling her the truth or lying to her.
However, one thing was certain. Within that three years, Jonathan experienced something big, causing his personality to change drastically. However, he refused to talk about it while Josephine never asked.
“Huh? You don’t know?” Tanya’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Aren’t you a married couple who share a bed every day? How can you not know what changed him?”
“Who told you that we share a bed?” Josephine shot a glare at Tanya. “We sleep separately!”
“Sleep separately? Are you separated now?” Tanya was even more surprised. “You have just been married for four years, and now, you’re separated?”
Tanya had heard of many incidents where married couples were separated. However, this was the first time she heard of one that happened just after a few years of marriage.
“We’re not living separately.”
Josephine explained with a frown, “Ever since we were married, we have been sleeping separately. I’m sure you’re aware that our marriage was a sham back then. If it weren’t for my parents forcing me into marrying someone I didn’t love, I wouldn’t have resorted to such tactics.”
“Huh? Have you been sleeping separately all these years?” Tanya widened her eyes in disbelief. “Josephine, don’t tell me that after being married for so many years, you haven’t done it yet?”
“Done it?” Josephine blushed at once.
“Yes! That’s precisely what I meant!” Tanya let out a mischievous smile.
“You naughty gal!” Josephine gave her the side-eye. With a reddened face, Josephine looked a little tipsy yet mesmerizing at the same time. “Didn’t I tell you that our marriage was a sham? Why would I do it with him?”
Even though Tanya was her best friend, Josephine still felt embarrassed discussing the topic.
“Have both of you really not consummated the marriage?” Tanya was filled with disbelief. “How did you get by the past four years?”
“I didn’t really feel any desire,” Josephine replied with her face all red.
“But he does!” Tanya shifted her gaze toward Jonathan, who was standing far from them. “I heard that men his age are at the peak of their lust. How did he manage to keep it bottled up over the years?”
“How would I know?” Josephine shot Tanya a glance. At the same time, her mind couldn’t help but picture Jonathan engaging prostitutes on the street, just as Ysobel had told her.
Could he have found someone to satisfy his lust?
