Elizabeth admired him. Elizebeth clutched Ada's wrist, afraid she'd run away.

Ada kneeled before Elizebeth as they left the hospital.

"Please, mom. Please let me give birth."

He observed Ada's hand covering her stomach. When he examined Elizebeth's reports, he verified Ada's pregnancy. He was stunned and couldn't react.

He wanted to hear what occurred, but this wasn't he time.

Elizebeth didn't want to push the abortion. She worried about Ada's pregnancy. Her future? Elizebeth knew Ada was obstinate and wouldn't give up.

Elizebeth sighed and answered, "Fine."

After speaking, Elizebeth exited.

Her heart ached, and she couldn't face her daughter.

Ada sat slowly. She tried to be brave, but her sorrowful tears fell uncontrollably.

She wanted to stop crying but couldn't. After so long, it broke her heart.

Jonson arrived from abroad to find Ada and Elizebeth back home.

Jonson consoled her. He met her as a teen. Even then, she was careful with her brother and mother. He saw she couldn't afford a meal.

Ada handed her mother and brother the food she'd purchased, saying she'd already eaten.

She was attentive and mature, making him pity her. Ada lifted her head before Jonson could console her.

"Thanks for previous support. I'll repay you ."

"Silly girl, I offered to assist you, so you don't need to return the money," he remarked with a grin. "I'll always remember your kindness." If she could, she'd refund the money.

" I'll drive you home." Ada concerned about Elizebeth. Then she gave him the address.

Ada exited thecar as they arrived.

Jonson yelled. "Will you have abortion?"

Ada shrugged at him. "No".

Ada observed Elizebeth crying as she came.

Elizebeth dried her tears, ignoring Ada.

"Mom."

Elizebeth dried her eyes but couldn't stop weeping. Ada embraced Elizebeth.

The two sobbed while hugging one other.

Ada informed Elizebeth about William's bargain and encouraged her not to worry.

Elizebeth was dumbfounded.

Elizebeth was against the arranged marriage, but Ada was already pregnant. William and the Greenburgs wouldn't approve.

Ada came to the villa that evening to find William missing.

Ada wandered around the villa courtyard after supper to digest and see the plants.

She went home when it grew dark.

She was too thirsty to sleep, so she poured a glass of water. She drank half the glass of water before hearing the front door unlock and open.

Tall person and gorgeous silhouette entered.

Ada was stunned. She didn't expect William to bring back his girlfriend so late.

Ada shocked Jean, too.

'isn't his the hospital patient?'

His face was icy. Why was he angry in the hospital? This woman?

Ada remarked, "I'm going to my room."

"Wait."

She was innocent-looking. William was appalled by her.

"Jean is the housekeeper. You get it?"

"Yes. I'll sleep."

Ada turned and left.

"Miss Wood" Jean smiled.

"I've known William since before you were engaged. Without you, I'd have married him. We adore each other, so..."

Ada thought her odd. She knew her identity and didn't want to bother them. Why did that lady explain?

"You're already married, yet William doesn't like you because of me. I feel bad."

"Don't stress." She believed they had an uneasy connection and should avoid one other.

Ada felt uneasy. After getting her and Elizabeth's belongings, she'd go.

William scowled at Ada and stepped forward

. Ada stepped back from the suffocating air.

Jean grabbed him. "William, calm down. You're newlyweds. Hurry to bed, I'm going home""Don't leave." William took Jean's wrist and headed upstairs.

Jean was overjoyed. Jean was thrilled by William's conduct.

Jean wasn't here that night. She couldn't win his heart without sex.

Ada didn't glance up and simply left. Jean turned to see Ada's skinny back entering her room.

It reminded her of that night's girl. Jean overcome jealously and anger.

She only noticed the woman's slim physique after she departed. No wonder Ada seemed familiar.

When she thought that night's lady may be Ada, her heart pounded in terror and despair.

Jean quickly clutched William's slender waist, buried her head in his chest, and said,

"William, let me be your wife again." William hesitated to kiss her as she said.

Despite Jean's efforts, he lacked typical drive. He'd never considered making love to her until that night.

William tugged at his loose collar and whispered. Maybe he felt strange since he didn't have the manly inclination for Jean.

Jean clenched her fists and cried. "William, do you hate me?" William wrapped his arm over her sshoulder and murmured, "Don't worry too much."

Jean knew what it meant when a guy didn't like her figure. She dutifully lay down, but her eyes got red and swollen.

She wanted to protest, but she was patient and didn't want to make things worse.

William's heart warmed remembering that night. He covered her and sat on the bed.

"Don't stress. If we're married, I'll sex you."

Nodded Jean.

William removed his coat and left.He sat with his legs crossed on the coffee table. He leaned on the couch and yawned.

William read financial news in the morning after Ada showered and changed.

Ada ate oatmeal head-down.

Rose cooked beefs. Rose frowned at Ada.

Why was Ada so modest if she was William's legal wife?

"Ms. Wood, you should seat close to the young master."

'Huh?'t Ada glared.

William gazed at Rose. Ada and William were astonished.

Ada and William's marriage was a transaction where they both benefited.

"I'm full, take your time." Ada knew William cared for Jean from the previous day, so she should not cross the line.

She went rapidly, as if being chased by monsters.

William strained his eyes as Ada fled.

William pondered and muttered,

"Maybe she won't feel comfortable while I'm here..." William gave Jean milk.

.Jean squinted.

Ada swiped her phone and saw a response to her employment application. She had an interview invitation.

Ada grabbed a taxi to the interview after William and Jean departed

Ada breathed deeply before entering the skyscraper.

She was thrilled to have a job interview. In HR's waiting area, several individuals were dressed well and clutching resumes.

They appeared ready for the interview.

Ada wore white shirt . She felt awkward with others. She ignored the weird looks and waited silently.

Ada wasn't called for an hour. Without a degree, her CV was limited.

After viewing her blank resume, the interviewer scowled. "How do you write script?"

The position was posted for a while, but no one applied. Ada squeezed her fists to block off horrible memories. "I wrote novels and scipts since I was young, I just wanted to write my feelings, then I had more inspirations.

"Her voice..." Jean recognized a familiar voice while going by HR with her paperwork. Her heart raced.

Jean knew Ada was the girl from the night before.

"Ms. Jean's assistant didn't understand why she stopped at HR and proceeded. "

"Take the paper to Mr. Greenburg, I'll review it later." You may start tomorrow.

Even though Ada had no professional experience, having experience of witting scripts was enough.

Ada bent slightly. She left the interview happy.

Ada felt happy after leaving the tower.

She now felt hopeful about her future.

Her fortunes improved. She grabbed a taxi to the Woods' home.

Soon, the taxi pulled up in front of the Woods. Ada paid the driver and left. She stepped in gently. BBerry furrowed her eyebrows and said, "Why isn't it Ada?"

Ada grimaced at seeing Berry's diamond jewelry.

Ada once saw it in her mother's jewelry box. But Berry got it.

Berry fiddled with her groomed nails, ignoring Ada. "Marrying a cripple can't be easy, right?" Ada whispered, "Is Alfred here?"

She thanked William for feigning paralysis so she might return.

Would Berry have allowed her daughter marry William if she known he wasn't crippled?

William was gorgeous, talented, and rich. Women desired him. Ada didn't want to spend time with Berry while Alfred wasn't home.

When she approached the door, acar pulled up and stopped.

Alfred hopped out as the driver opened the door. Alfred suspected Ada may ask for Elizebeth's dowry as she stood at the doorway.

He darkened. He interrupted her without waiting.

"Do one thing for me to earn your mother's dowry."

" Ada sighs. You claimed you'd repay everything if I married William Greenburg." Alfred scowled. "Why did I want you to marry Greenburg? Because it helps the Woods' social and commercial position!"

"You're too naive!" Alfred sneered.

"I'm your dad.Is this how you want to talk to me?"

Ada was devastated. He lied.

" If you want your mother's dowry, tell William to grant me Mountain Hill's development rights. "

I'll return everything your mother brought during our marriage, including the violin she bought you for your birthday. "

William had Alfred's land...

If she intended to exploit Alfred's vulnerability, she had to work on her 'newlywed spouse' But how?

Although officially married, they were more like strangers or worse. Ada returned home without a solution.

"Didn't you say I could start tomorrow?" Ada worried.

"We can't employ you. You don't pass the inverview." The caller hung up instantly.

Ada viewed her phone. She was temporarily absent-minded.

Nighttime.

William went straight to his room after arriving home.

Ada learned from Rose in the afternoon about William's cuisine preferences and was ready to cook for him.

Rose grinned, "That's what a wife should do."

Ada smiled and bowed. She wouldn't flatter him if she wasn't at his mercy.

Rose sighed, "The madam died long ago, and the master remarried."

Ada listened without interrupting.

"Don't worry. You're his wife." Rose comforted her by patting her sshoulders.

Although they were married, it never felt that way.

"Rose, where are the coffee beans? I'll make him coffee. "Rose felt Ada was considerate, so she gave her coffee beans and said, "Don't add sugar or milk." Young master dislikes sweets.

Ada nodded and quickly prepared coffee.

She put some into a dainty coffee cup and carried it herself.

William was impatiently asking over the phone,

"What's up with HR?" Is it hard to find a script writer?I'll give the HR manager one day. If he can't employ in a day, tell him to go!"

Doorbell rang. The knocking halted William's rage.

He yelled sharply, "Come in!"

Ada's stomach cramped.

Ada grinned and said, "I prepared you some coffee." William looked at her face then her coffee cup.

He squinted. She avoided him like the plague in the morning, but now she's bringing him coffee? William sat down after replacing his phone. He was curious what she was doing.

Ada brought him coffee.

William sat still. His body relaxed till he was slouched against his chair.

Ada said, "Try it." William squinted and realized something.

"Are you charming me because you want to inquire about that property in Mountain Hill?"

Ada was stunned. She didn't believe he'd understand that quickly.

William seized Ada'chin and said, "Is this why the Wood family insists you marry me, a cripple?" Ada's chin hurt from his strong fingertips.

William tossed her.

Ada lost her footing and spilled her coffee.

Black liquid flowed from the cup and soaked his papers.

At this, William's face clouded.

Ada didn't expect this as she hastily wiped the coffee dry. William ripped the blankets off and yelled, "Get out! Didn't you hear?"

Ada left. "These too!" William grumbled.

Ada got the cup outdoors. William went to bed after supper.

Ada sighed. He was a jerk. It was difficult to get near to him, much alone reclaim the land from Alfred.

Ada bathed and then slept. She struggled, unable to sleep.

She got out of bed. She felt bad about spilling coffee on his papers in the afternoon.

She tiptoed into his study to apologize.

She turned on the lights and noticed soggy sheets on the table. It was an outline of a script, she awed at the inspiration and immediately got a pen and began to write, thoughts flows.

She wrote 10 papers in one breath.

She stopped writing and massaged her weary wrists. After arranging the papers, she went to bed. Ada was sleeping while William ate breakfast the following morning. She overslept yesterday night. Due of her pregnancy, she slept in today. William grimaced,

"She's still sleeping?" Rose nodded.

"Young master, I know you don't like Miss Wood, but the madam blessed your marriage when she was alive. She's considerate, too. Last night, she cooked your favorite foods after asking about them. She made you coffee."

Ada flattered him to get Mountain Hill property for the Woods.

This amused William. "Don't be fooled by her looks," he told Rose.

He returned the coffee-stained paperwork to the corporation from his study.

He needed a fresh copy. Upon entering the study, he knew someone had been there.

Rose and Mathew were the only ones allowed in his study. Even Jean was new.

Intruder? She snuck inside his study?

He approached his desk and discovered scribbled paperwork. It was a script.

He attentively read it. The plot was elegant. He frowned at the notion that she was writing it.

William was skeptical. As he was replacing the papers and going to seek for the lady, a note dropped out.

I apologize for invading your study without permission.

My carelessness soaked your papers. I've attempted to recover your papers. Here's my apology for soaking your papers.

His fury over her selfishly entering his study had subsided.

The nice story made him intrigued about the

William set the note down and grabbed two papers.

He was leaving for work. Ada awoke at midday.

Rose made her meals.

Ada stopped wasting her life after failing to land that job. She needs a steady job. She can't get her mother's belongings for now.

Her mother needed money, even though she didn't spend much here.

She left after eating. she struggled to find a good job. Ada figured she could only look for a low-paying job after repeated rejections.

A high-end bar was hiring waitstaff. This job required no education. She can do this if she's quick-witted and reactive.

Ada didn't finish university, but she had attended.

She's witty. Chef hired her. She can start tomorrow.

She finally found work. Ada was relieved.

She left the bar and walked outside.

Under the sun, Ada's shadow was infinite. She was out alone.

"Ada" Ada turned to find the voice.

She saw Jonson from across the street.

"Jonson"

"Why are you still here?" Ada asked.

"I'm here for more work," he said, examining Ada.

Ada remembered a hospital scene.

good the pay was. In this country, he'd rather forget many people and things.

Ada admired the sky. Gradually, night fell. Two months had passed. She felt helpless and uncertain.

Reclaiming what was hers wasn't easy.

Jonson brushed her messy hair behind her ear and asked, "Any problems?"

Ada shook her head when she remembered when he helped her.

He knew what she was thinking, despite their short time together. She didn't want to rely on anyone.

"You're stubborn".

Ada pouted after hearing that. She didn't refuse help. She feared she couldn't repay hisr kindness.

"It's getting dark, Dr. Jonson, are you leaving?"

"Stop calling me Dr. Jonson."

"Call me by my name or Brother," he said.

"Are you my brother?"

"Yes." Jonson embraced her.

"Call me your brother," he said meekly.

" Ms. Wood?" William ignored pedestrians while driving. He turned after Jean reminded him...

When she came to herself, she struggled to wiggle away from his hold.

From William's viewpoint, they were like a couple who were wooing each other.

His brows couldn't help but frown.

Jean added lightly, "I didn't think that she truly had a boyfriend."

William immediately felt quite restless.

He stomped on the pedal hard and the car zoomed away.

Jean pursed her lips and questioned, "Are you furious about that?"

William snickered coldly, "Why should I be angry?"

She was now pregnant, thus it was reasonable that she was intimate with other males also!

He was merely being irritated for no reason after really watching her with other males!

Soon, the car halted in front of Jean's apartment.

She didn't get out of thecar quickly as she glanced wistfully at William,

"don't you want to come to my apartment for a while?"

As though she was terrified of being rejected, Jean said,

"William, I have prepared your favourite food-"

"Jean."

William interrupted her. He was perplexed by his irritation at the time.

He touched her hair and added, "I'tm not going to drop by today. Rest earlier."

"But." Jean didn't continue her remark but decided to alight his car meekly,

He took shorter time than typical to come home.

By the time he entered his house, Ada hadn't come home yet.

He unzipped his shirt while asking, "What time did she go out?"

"She went out at noon." Rose accepted his coat and said,

"Do you want to eat supper now?"

"Later." He didn't have any hunger at the time.

The two buttons next to his neck had fallen off. He didn't feel crushed by his shirt anymore,. It was a pretty bizarre sensation.

He pushed open the door to his study. Ada's memo was still laying on the table

. He snatched it up and let out a frigid chuckle,

"you're making yourself appearing really miserable in front of me, while behind my back, you are messing about with other guys. Ada , you definitely are different!"

He crumpled the document angrily after saying that.

Ada hailed a cab back home. Initially, Jonson had offered to bring her home, but she didn't want him to know about her link to William. Therefore, she had rejected him. There was just Rose at home, so Ada guessed that William hadn't returned yet.

Rose questioned her, "Are you thrilled about anything recently?"

Ada generated a grin, "I feel more at peace without him about here."

Rose didn't know how to answer her.

"Do you imply that I shouldn't be here?" Suddenly, his tall and thin form came at the entrance of his study.

He was resting against the hinge casually, and his tone sounded indifferent and sarcastic at the same time.

Ada swung around stiff, and her eyes rested on that guy who was resting on the door hinge.

He had a somber look on his face. Why was he at home at that moment?

There wasn't any trace of his arriving home before this, so Ada believed that he was not home yet. That was why she could speak so lightly.

"I." Ada attempted to explain, but William pushed by her and walked for the dining room.

He was asking Rose to serve the dinner. Ada carefully slid into her place beside the dinner table. She tried to speak for herself multiple times, but nothing came out of her lips.

William never once cast a look in her her throughout the entire session.

"Come into the study with me."

Ada instantly laid down her chopsticks and followed him inside his study area.

William sat down beside his desk and put the stack of her scripts in front of her. He peered at her slightly, "You know how to write a script?"

Ada nodded enthusiastically.
