Chapter 1

After six years of marriage, Gerald was a well-known "wife-loving maniac" in the entertainment industry.

As the richest man in the industry, he never met actresses alone and even retreated behind the scenes for me. He spent hundreds of millions to tailor a play for me. The play became a hit as soon as it was broadcast and I became famous overnight.

Everyone in the industry kept their marriage secret, but Gerald was the first to stand up and announce to the world on the day of getting the marriage certificate. "Wife, please give me more advice for the rest of my life!"

The entire entertainment industry praised our fairy love.

But just last night, I accidentally found an ambiguous video on his computer. Gerald was naked with his upper body, showing his seductive abdominal muscles and his bony hands were ambiguously pinching the girl's neck.

The girl he pressed under him was wearing a sexy maid outfit and she moaned with a dazed look. I recognized her at a glance. That girl was a female artist newly signed by his company three months ago.

Familiar footsteps came from outside the study. I exited the video file calmly, opened the video software casually and pretended to continue watching the drama.

Gerald hugged me from behind. He had just finished taking a shower and there was still a layer of warm moisture all over his body. He kissed my neck tightly.

"Lucy, you have been watching this drama for two hours. Be careful not to hurt your eyes."

He gently massaged my temples, his eyes fell on the laptop and his whole body froze.

"...Lucy, why are you using this laptop to watch the drama?" he asked.

Gerald's eyes flashed with panic, although he quickly recovered, but I still saw it.

I retracted my gaze lightly.

I replied calmly, "I just picked one up, is there anything wrong with this laptop?"

There were three or four laptops in Gerald's study. Two of them were for his office use and the other two were bought specifically for me to watch dramas. But I didn’t watch much usually.

Today, I suddenly wanted to watch a series from a few days ago, so I opened this laptop casually. Unexpectedly, I accidentally found something I shouldn't have seen.

"My dear, of course there is no problem. It's just that this laptop had a minor problem before. I forgot to ask my secretary to fix it and I was afraid that it would affect your experience of watching TV series." Gerald took the laptop from me unintentionally. He closed it and threw it aside.

Gerald's tone was a bit tentative, "Baby, did you see anything else just now?"

His guilty conscience made my heart sink.

I looked up at him and pretended to be at a loss, "What did you see?"

Gerald breathed a sigh of relief, "Nothing, the secretary used this computer a few days ago and downloaded some messy things. I haven't had time to clean it up. What if it's a virus or something? I'm afraid it will affect your experience of watching TV series."

Gerald took the laptop to the balcony of the study room and fiddled with it for a long time before coming over to hug me.

"Lucy, your husband had just take very clean shower today. Can I go to sleep with my Lucy?" He looked up at me with a smile.

Gerald, who has always been cold and aloof, was like a well-behaved puppy in front of me. I looked at him quietly, feeling a sour and swollen heart. Gerald and I had known each other for ten years and had been married for six years.

He always kept a distance from the opposite sex and even when working, he was determined not to be alone with actresses in a room. Faced with countless invitations from the opposite sex, he rejected them all with a cold face.

When others asked, they would say, "Sorry, my wife is very strict" or "I have an appointment with my wife."

Everyone in the entertainment industry envied our fairy love and everyone praised Gerald as a loyal and good man who was hard to come by in a century...

Chapter 2

But that intimate video with ambiguous scene kept appearing in my mind.

I just felt a little disgusted and avoided Gerald's touch.

"I'm hungry, go get some fruit." I made up a reason.

Gerald stopped me with a smile, "I'll go help Lucy cut fruit."

Looking at him busy in the kitchen, his eyes were full of concentration and tenderness. He was usually very busy at work, but every time he helped me prepare fruit, he arranged it into a beautiful heart-shaped fruit plate.

"My dear, come and eat some fruit." Gerald called.

I came back to my senses and suddenly felt a pain in my hand. I realized that the fruit knife had cut my finger and blood was coming out.

"Lucy!" Gerald immediately threw down the fruit plate, his eyes red with heartache, "How did you get cut? Don't move, my dear."

He searched the medicine box and found a band-aid and carefully helped me put it on.

"Does it still hurt?"

I looked at him with red eyes and big tears fell on the back of his hand. I couldn't figure it out. How could such a careful man who loved me so much cheat on me?

Gerald thought I was crying because of the pain. He leaned close to my finger and kissed it, gently comforting me.

"I will blow on you and it won't hurt in a while."

Gerald turned off the lights, hugged me gently from behind and his warm breath hit the back of my neck.

"Wife, I actually wanted to spend some time with you tonight. But my dear hand is injured, so I'll just hug Lucy and have a good sleep."

I didn't say anything.

After a while, I heard Gerald's even breathing behind me and he fell asleep.

I stared at Gerald's face in the dark and my tears wet the pillow.

It was said that when people were in love, they would secrete a love hormone called phenylethylamine that made people confused and happy. But its peak concentration was only up to six months to four years.

People in the entertainment industry said that people were not long-lasting creatures and love that lasts until death was against nature.

But at the wedding, Gerald swore to me with a deep affection: “I will go against my instincts, go against my nature and love you forever.”

But now, he was no different from other men. I really couldn't sleep, so I got up and went to the study and opened the laptop by instinct.

Clicking on the familiar document folder where the video was saved, I found it was blank. Gerald had deleted it.

I returned to the bed and Gerald, who was sleeping soundly, noticed that I was moving and subconsciously hugged me tightly.

"Lucy! Don't leave me!" He kissed my forehead and fell asleep again.

When I mentioned this the next day, he didn't remember it.

"Lucy, come and have breakfast."

Looking at a large table of rich breakfast, I just sat down and Gerald handed me my favorite sandwich.

"Lucy, do you want to participate in the filming of "Love Ends"? If you agree, I will let the drama party leave the heroine to you." Gerald asked me with a smile.

"Love Ends" was a new drama recently planned and filmed by Gerald's company. At the beginning, because I liked the novel, Gerald waved his hand and spent a huge amount of money to buy the copyright.

At that time, he smiled and handed the copyright contract to me. "As long as my Lucy likes it, I will always support you as the heroine."

I hadn’t been to the crew for more than three months.

The year I debuted, it was Gerald who spent several hundred million to tailor a drama for me in order to promote me, which made me famous overnight. But I love acting and just want to settle down. In the past few months, I had turned down all the dramas to hone my acting skills.

Chapter 3

Looking at Gerald's extremely expectant eyes, I took a bite of the sandwich.

"I'm very tired recently. Let's leave the opportunity to the newcomers."

Gerald seemed relieved. He chuckled and squeezed my hand. "Okay, then you have to rest at home. When you want to film, I will arrange a better one for you."

After dinner, I was reading in the study. I closed my eyes and rested when I was tired.

"Lucy?" Gerald called me tentatively. Seeing that I fell asleep, he took a nap blanket to help me cover myself.

The footsteps faded away and soon Gerald's deliberately low voice came from downstairs.

"Yes, give the female lead role to Lolly. This movie was originally made for her. Is she in a bad mood again?"

Gerald sighed helplessly, but chuckled, "Tell her to wait a little longer. I'll take time to accompany her tonight. Also--"

Gerald paused, "Remember to let her wear the newly bought maid outfit."

I suddenly opened my eyes and my heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by someone and it hurt so much that it was bleeding.

At night, after Gerald finished making dinner, a phone call suddenly came.

Gerald frowned slightly and hung up.

Soon the ringing sounded again.

I said lightly, "Why don't you answer it? What if they have something important to talk to you about?"

Gerald helped me push the dining chair away and chuckled, "It's the company assistant who called. There must be a lot of things waiting for me to deal with. Next time I criticize him, he will not allow me to call and disturb me and my wife when I'm at home."

He kissed my face tenderly and then picked up the phone that kept ringing.

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Gerald hung up the phone and looked at me with an embarrassed look.

"Baby, can you eat dinner by yourself? There's an emergency at the company and I have to go deal with it."

I nodded, "It's okay, go ahead."

Gerald smiled with relief and he picked up his coat and put it on. "Lucy, just put the dishes aside after dinner and wait for me to come back to clean them up. Don't stay up late to watch TV series. If I come back late, you have go to bed early."

Gerald ran several entertainment companies under his command and has several capable people, so he was usually not very busy. But occasionally, when something needed to be decided, Gerald would be called back.

But thinking of the phone call that Gerald deliberately lowered his voice during the day, looking at his hurriedly leaving figure, my heart was blocked.

As soon as he left, I put on my coat and followed him. While he was in the garage, I took a car and parked it at the door.

The moment Gerald's car drove out, I whispered to the driver, "Sir, please follow the car in front."

Gerald's car really went around and into the company, but he just stopped and soon a girl trotted towards his car.

"My dear Gerald!" The girl smiled sweetly, wearing a tank top and a miniskirt. When the cold wind blew, she hugged her arms and shivered.

"Why don't you wear more? What if you catch a cold?"

Gerald got out of the car, took off his coat without hesitation and skillfully put it on the girl's shoulders.

Lolly looked up at him with a smile and took the initiative to tiptoe and kissed his lips.

"I was so anxious to see you that I forgot to take my coat. I knew Gerald would never let me get cold!"

As she said that, her hand was dishonest and reached into the inside of Gerald's clothes. Gerald smiled dotingly, grabbed her restless little hand and domineeringly pressed the back of her head and kissed her.

I froze in place, tears welling up in my eyes.
