John had to divide the days between them... Vivian was jealous of Angelica because she was beautiful and quiet, but when she learned that Angelica had never demanded her rights as a wife, she remained silent... Angelica did not ask John to share the bed with her... or to touch her... she took care of the household duties... and cooked... and did her hobbies... and when John visited her on days She was assigned to her...she cooked for him...she washed his clothes...but she did not try to get close to him...and this was comfortable for John...but will things really continue like this...for a man to own two things for himself but not touch one of them...despite her beauty and tenderness...can he bear the idea that he owns her and yet he does not touch her?
