Abigail Bernstein was a quiet and obedient girl who seldom say NO to her father’s decisions. Even when it’s about her marriage.
To save their family’s company out of bankruptcy, her father arranged her to marry Diarmuid Althoff, the grandson of a billionaire. But on their wedding day, the groom did not appear. Abigail was disappointed but could do nothing about it.
Alone and boring on wedding night, Abigail accepted to replace her colleague’s shift. At her workplace, the hospital, she saved a wounded man being hunted down by gangsters, and made out with this stranger to blow off steam.
The stranger, however, turned out to be her husband that did not show up at the altar.
Even as spoke, Vivian began to make a friendly gesture to take Sue’s hands, but she hesitated and withdrew when she saw Sue’s tanned, callus-filled skin. As for Sue, she did not say a word since she was keen to see what Vivian was up to- she had lived long enough to learn to judge…
“I’ll be going if there’s nothing else, Mr. Slate,” Lulu said just then-she was starting to feel uncomfortable since she could not take care of Star outside, and she might blow her own cover. Zachary nodded, surprised that she would leave as soon as he returned. “I haven’t fed Star too much today, so just…
Sue was an earnest person, and Lulu felt comfortable working with her-being able to speak heart-to-heart made everything easier, especially without the need for petty squabbles. Content t “My husband’s condition got very serious yesterday, and he’s still in surgery sue eventually said. Lulu frowned-it had been an entire night, but the surgery was still…
She had been working for most of the day and was definitely exhausted, but there was no other option. Lulu was the only one in the house, and no one else would do it if not her. “I’m fine. It’s not that tiring,” she assured Zachary. Zachary scowled. “Sue will need another week to return.…
“I, uh…” Zachary quickly wrapped the towel around himself again as he explained, “Your handbag caught my towel. So…” Lulu ran off frantically, grabbed her phone before running out of Zachary’s mansion without opening her eyes. In Zachary’s perspective, she was fleeing. “It’s not like I’m naked…” he muttered, although he was blushing up to…
If Zachary was distracted by Vivian, he probably would not have time to manage Lulu. “It’s time, Abigail,” Diarmuid suddenly said. Abigail rose to her feet too. “We’re going now, Lulu.” Lulu got up too. “I didn’t even bring you a drink…” “No, you keep both arms on your daughter.” Abigail smiled. “So, do you…
They were supposed to do this every day, but Zachary was already m exhausted earlier. It was clear that his project was very important. xel She stared at the documents she kept nearby, hesitant. She was not supposed to read it, but she could not help being curious about what Zachary was doing at the…
However, she had just reached out when Ken avoided her touch, and he teased, “Are you sexually harassing me, Miss Crowe?” Vivian’s hands were left hanging in the air as Ken tied the apron himself, knowing full well what she was thinking as he saw the disappointment in his eyes. “If I recall, Mr. Slate…
You have every reason to seduce him and make him your husband.” Lulu’s expression cooled immediately. “I have no such intentions.” “No, but it’s your right-and he would like to fact have it,” Ken told her Lulu stared at the man before her in shock-given what he revealed, did that mean Zachary already knew who…
Still keeping her back to the camera, Lulu said, “My button was loose, and you saw it without saying a word.
