An sudden return by Adrian’s wife completely altered the course of events, which had been supposed to be a hot evening between Adrian and his mistress. An innocent pizza box was the source of the true surprise, which was the revelation that Adrian had been unfaithful, which ultimately changed the trajectory of his life.
Adrian watched Claire prepare for yet another business trip as she stood outside their flat, surrounded by the lights of the city centre.
“More trips?” Alan let out a sigh.
Claire remarked, “It’s part of the job,” as she zipped up her suitcase.
What’s the matter, though? Adrian pleaded with him, “Your fashion emporium is in need of you.”
“I vow that it won’t be too much longer. Also, I’ll miss you a lot.
After she had checked in at the airport, Claire had the intention of informing Adrian about her pregnancy; however, she was interrupted by an urgent call from work, which prevented her from doing so.
When Adrian got back to his house, he mumbled, “Finally, she’s gone!” and got in touch with his girlfriend.
Roses are what I’ll deliver. “I am certain that you adore them!” she assured him.
“Come soon; I can’t wait!” The excited response came from Adrian.
Together, they experienced a romantic moment just as Vanessa arrived. Although she was spraying Claire’s perfume, she mocked her by saying, “You love my kisses and her perfume, don’t you?” They were in the middle of their moment when the doorbell rang.
When Adrian was looking for a pizza delivery, he ended up finding Claire instead. “Hey, honey!”
“Ms. Claire, you’ve returned? I was under the impression that you were in Hong Kong,” Adrian said.
“My flight was cancelled,” I said. It’s going to be three more days before I leave!
In an effort to divert Claire’s attention, Adrian hurriedly followed Claire while simultaneously concealing Vanessa’s underwear.

“Thank you, Officer,” I said, feigning relief.
Jake hugged me tightly. “Thank you, thank you! I’ll never do anything like this again, I promise.”
We left the café, and once we were a safe distance away, I showed Jake the video.

“Jake, if you continue to behave like this, I’ll show this video to all your friends.”
Jake’s face fell. “You… you did this?”
“Yes, and it was for your own good. You need to understand that your actions have consequences.”
“I’m sorry, Lisa. I really am,” Jake said, looking genuinely remorseful.

From that day on, Jake’s behavior changed. He started helping around the house, treated Emma and Noah with respect, and even apologized to them.
“Hey, Emma, Noah, want to play a game?” Jake asked one evening.
“Sure!” Emma replied, surprised but happy.
Mark noticed the change too. “Jake’s different lately. What did you do?”

“Just gave him a little wake-up call,” I said with a smile.
The peace in our household was restored, and I felt a sense of satisfaction. It wasn’t easy, but it was worth it. I was committed to maintaining a respectful family environment, and it seemed like Jake finally understood the importance of that.
