Naturally, they faced their share of challenges. For instance, due to Chloe being alone at home so often, she was the one managing the household. When John returned home for a week, he found himself abiding by Chloe’s house rules.

This dynamic initially sparked tension. John disliked the feeling of being bossed around, as if he were a guest in his own home. Chloe acted as though the house was solely hers, while in truth, John had invested most of his earnings into the house and Chloe had contributed a relatively minor portion.

However, with time, John grew more accepting of these rules. He found himself settling into this domestic routine, gradually coming to terms with the situation. After all, he considered himself fortunate to have such a beautiful wife to come home to. The warmth with which Chloe greeted him, the loving ambiance of their home, and the sight of his wife—all these made the short period of readjustment seem minor in comparison. So, if this was as bad as it gets, he really had nothing to whine about, right?
