He Fell In Love With His Wife

He Fell in Love with His Wife

by Edward P. Roe

In "He Fell in Love with His Wife," James, a struggling farmer, desperately seeks a capable housekeeper to help him keep his farm afloat. Meanwhile, Alida, heartbroken and disillusioned after discovering her husband's deceit, seeks refuge from the world's judgment. Their paths collide, leading them to an unconventional agreement: a marriage solely for practicality and mutual support, devoid of romantic intentions. As they navigate their arrangement, unforeseen circumstances and shared experiences gradually chip away at the walls they have erected, revealing the possibility of something deeper and more meaningful. The story explores themes of love, forgiveness, and the unexpected ways in which life can unfold.
