The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge novel Chapter 598

On this point, Hawthorne and Gwyneth were perfectly in sync. He preferred peace and quiet over crowds and chaos, and so did she.

If it weren’t for worrying about hurting her mom and great-grandfather’s feelings, Gwyneth honestly felt that just signing the marriage certificate would have been enough—a wedding ceremony didn’t really matter to her.

Hawthorne took his wife home, leaving Leonie and the Everharts behind with reluctant looks.

Stepping back into their place, Gwyneth was immediately struck by how familiar it felt. The apartment in Starfall City was practically identical to this one.

“Great-grandpa really put his heart into this,” she couldn’t help but think.

“I need to head to the office. You should rest at home,” Hawthorne said, instructing someone to bring in their luggage. The butler greeted Gwyneth with a respectful, “Ma’am.”

The title made her squirm a bit.

“I could go to the office, too. It gets awfully boring here alone,” she said. What was she supposed to do—just stare at the walls and wait for him to come back every day?

Hawthorne considered it for a moment and agreed. “You’ll go back to your old department. Your desk is just as you left it. Nothing’s changed.”

That actually cheered Gwyneth up. When she returned to the gaming department, everyone was stunned to see her. A few of her closer friends leaned in, whispering conspiratorially.

“Gwyn, where have you been all this time? Did the heiress drag you off to play personal assistant again?”

Everyone knew Gwyneth had gotten into the Everhart Group thanks to family connections, which had always put Miss Yvette in a sour mood.

“No, just had some family stuff to deal with. Took a long leave,” Gwyneth replied, glossing over the real reason. She had no intention of telling anyone at work about her marriage—it would only make things awkward. If she was following Hawthorne to Starfall City, she definitely needed something to keep herself busy.

Besides, she hated the idea of everyone knowing she was married to the boss. She didn’t want to become some kind of rare specimen, under constant watch.
