Her tone was soft and coaxing.
Rosalynn remained wordless, yet she absorbed her words.
If it were in the past, she could have brushed off such advice.
But with the passing days, she had come to recognize the wrongfulness of her actions.
“Excellence in women is admirable, but in marriage, some adaptability is essential. Don’t let your
marriage unravel as Noemi’s did.”

Perhaps what she truly needed was a maternal figure to guide her in nurturing her marriage.
“Truth be told, Noemi’s prior marriage suffered greatly because of her domineering nature,” Gail
commented amidst her baking.
“A marriage, especially one founded on familial alliances, lacks a solid emotional core and thus
requires extra nurture. To secure your husband’s unwavering affection, the secret lies in the care you
invest into the marriage and the art of winning his heart. Noemi, however, raised in affluence, never
learned to temper her ego to capture her husband’s love. Initially, a wife’s strong will can be enticing, a

unspoken sync isn’t established overnight. As for the complexity of marriage, well, that’s hard to

At the mention of her own marriage, Gail’s features softened.
“Yes, I suppose. Given my husband’s status, it’s expected for him to be pursued by young admirers.
Thankfully, he’s remained loyal to me.”
Rosalynn offered a smile but held her silence.
Gail was such a gentle and astute woman. No wonder her husband reserved his gaze for her alone.
In the expansive backyard of their villa lay a vast sports field.
