1042. Showing a sense of shame on one's face

"You're saying I, a grown man, fought like a shrew with a few women?"

Melody Baker wanted to say what's wrong with that, if there was a fight, there was a fight, a joke was a joke, would it matter if you lost a piece of flesh?

But seeing the impatience overflowing from James Campbell's eyes, she forcefully held back those words.

She had already keenly sensed that James Campbell's fondness for her was no longer as strong as it used to be.

Perhaps it was because he already had her, the novelty no longer there, right?

Melody Baker still hoped to become Mrs. Campbell, to walk among the high society ladies and be revered.

She was counting on James Campbell to support her for the rest of her life, and if he truly grew tired of her, it would be incredibly difficult for her, with her current reputation in the circle of wives, to find another wealthy man willing to take her as his lawful wife.
