CHAPTER 55

Jayden's POV

My breathing became ragged when her body touched mine and her arms encircled around my head firmly in an embrace.

Isabella and I have never been that close before except on our wedding day.

Noticing my still body, she pulled away immediately and apologized. I have been thinking about it since I left her in the kitchen to cook but I don't know what to think of what happened between us.

I have never given any other woman my attention apart from Helena.

"Let's go and eat outside", she suggests as she comes out of that kitchen with the food. I love potatoes and I made sure madam Cassandra got enough potatoes for me during the grocery shopping she did for me yesterday.

She is my maid and she usually comes to clean every week or whenever I need her to shop for me in preparation for my arrival.

I have never come here with anyone, not even Helena. I bought this house after Helena died and I felt like the mansion was suffocating the hell out of me.
