A Family Under One Roof

Chapter - 148

The group sat at Althea's large dining table, where it had become a tradition for them to share meals together. Over time, a silent understanding had formed among the women regarding their relationship with Jacob. There was no jealousy, no discord—just an unspoken agreement, an acceptance of the unique bond they all shared.

Jacob, in turn, had settled into a natural rhythm, spending his nights on a rotating basis—sometimes at his own home, other nights at Althea's, and occasionally at Seraphina's when it was her turn. It worked for now. But lately, he had been thinking more and more about changing this arrangement.

It wasn't just about convenience. He wanted them all together. Not just for shared meals, or fleeting moments before parting ways, but permanently. He envisioned them as a true family, living under one roof, waking up each morning knowing that none of them had to leave at the end of the night.
