Chapter 110: You know what scares me the most?
In the late evening, two men sat in a smoking room at a large corporation's headquarters, enjoying a cigarette and a casual chat. One of the men was a tall, handsome middle-aged man named Adam. He wore an office uniform, a black suit with a red tie. The other man was his boss, a middle-aged, chubby, balding man named James. He was wearing a grey suit, a white shirt, and a black tie.
The two had been talking about the usual topics of conversation: the day at work, the current events in their lives, the news on television, and so on.
However, at one point, the conversation took a different turn. Adam asked James about his marriage and how his wife had been behaving. He knew that James' relationship with his wife wasn't the best. But it seemed to have gotten worse.

"I'm telling ya, man... it's getting hard for me to keep this marriage together." James shook his head and blew out a puff of smoke from his mouth. "It's like, ever since my daughter got married, my wife started nagging me more than before. I'm sure she is jealous of my daughter and her husband's happiness. She even said she wanted a young guy like him. But how the hell am I supposed to be like some twenty-year-old stud when I'm already pushing forty! I'm telling you, it's hopeless."
Adam listened to James's troubles with sympathy. He could tell that James really loved his wife, even though the marriage was rocky at the moment. He knew that James was trying his best to make it work.
James sighed and put his head in his hands. "I just don't know what to do anymore. How are you dealing with your marriage? Do you have problems like mine? Is it hard for you too?"
Adam pondered for a second before he replied, "Well, my sex life isn't that great. Like, I have sex maybe twice or three times a week. My wife says that it's enough, but I feel like she's just saying that to spare my feelings. And sometimes, I try harder to satisfy her, but... well, you know what I mean?"
James nodded and puffed on his cigarette again. "Yeah, that's normal. We're all getting older, and we have to deal with that. While women are getting hornier the older they get, men have more problems performing. That's just the way things are. There is nothing that can be done about that."
"Indeed. It's frustrating," Adam admitted, tapping off the ash in the ashtray beside him. "It's not like I haven't tried to find a solution. I've taken pills, gone to doctors, done exercises, and read books. But nothing worked. It seems like I'll have to just accept the fact that I am about to lose my vigor."
"You know what scares me the most?" James asked, his eyes filled with helplessness and sadness. "The thought of my wife leaving me. She was a sexy model back in the day, and even at thirty-nine, she still has that amazing body. I don't think any man will be able to resist her once she starts looking for someone younger. What am I supposed to do then? And I don't want her taking half of the family fortune just because she decides to leave me over this. That's what really frightens me."
James's fears were understandable. If his wife cheated on him and then divorced him, he could lose half of his possessions and savings. He had worked hard to earn his position as the top manager of this large corporation. Losing it all due to an unfaithful partner would be a devastating blow.
He then looked up at Adam and asked. "How about you, though? Have you ever worried that your wife might cheat on you?" He was curious if other married men also had these kinds of worries or if he was alone in that regard.
"Of course, I have." Adam chuckled as he said that, but his voice was low, and his tone didn't contain any traces of worry. It was obvious that he had gotten over this type of doubt long ago. "When a young man who's tall, muscular, and has a big package goes close to your wife and talks to her, you will definitely think about that. However, I trust Mia and the love she has for me. And besides, if she was to get unsatisfied with our sex life and wanted to find more excitement, I already arranged a perfect solution for that."
"Really?" James was curious about his friend's answer. If he was that confident, maybe he knew something that James didn't. Something that would help him protect his marriage and not have to worry about his wife's dissatisfaction. "What did you do? How can I fix my problem as well?"
Adam didn't reply to James's questions. Instead, he continued smoking his cigarette as he observed the puzzled look on his boss's face. He knew that it wasn't something that could be explained without making the other person feel shocked, maybe even disgusted, at the idea.
After some seconds, Adam leaned closer to James and said, "I allowed my wife to sleep with our son whenever she wants. This way, she gets to have all the fun and wild sex with a younger man and relieve her desires while still maintaining her fidelity and love to me."
He then straightened himself again, looked at his cigarette, and slowly took another long puff of it. He watched as the smoke dissipated into the air around him and listened to James's response.
James raised his eyebrow, confused by what his friend just told him. At first, he thought that it was some sort of joke and laughed about it, but when he realized that Adam was serious, the laughter was stuck in his throat.
'Was Adam really talking about his own son? And his wife?' He wasn't sure whether to be appalled, impressed, or disgusted. Or maybe even all of them at the same time.
