00:00:04Miss Ri, your ovaries aren't doing their best lately.
00:00:07This could be the start of ovarian failure.
00:00:10Ovarian failure? I mean, I'm so young.
00:00:13Is this going to mess with me having kids?
00:00:15I've always wanted to be a mom.
00:00:17If you want a child, it is medically advisable to do so within the next six months.
00:00:22Through everything, here we stand.
00:00:27Babe, me at X Hotels, 3.02 at 7 p.m.
00:00:30Got a surprise for you.
00:00:35Ethan loves me so much, maybe...
00:00:38Maybe it's not such a bad idea to have a baby sooner rather than later.
00:00:44No, I'm gonna tell him now.
00:00:46Yeah.
00:00:46Here.
00:00:50Oh!
00:01:05Early ovarian failure at 25?
00:01:08If someone sees this, die of embarrassment.
00:01:13Sorry.
00:01:14Are you okay?
00:01:15Yeah.
00:01:34Oh, my God!
00:01:36Lila!
00:01:38You said you'd be back at 7.
00:01:40Chidi?
00:01:40Is this the big surprise you had planned for me?
00:01:46Oh, you're such a buzzkill.
00:01:48You always said you wanted to try something new?
00:01:50Come join us.
00:01:54You always said you wanted to try something new?
00:01:57Come join us.
00:01:58Three years.
00:01:59You know, I wasted three years on you.
00:02:02God, I'm such an idiot.
00:02:04You know, I was planning on having a baby.
00:02:06A baby.
00:02:07A baby.
00:02:09Sweetheart.
00:02:18You really think I'd marry you for your cheap love over legs like these?
00:02:24You know what?
00:02:27We're done.
00:02:29Six months?
00:02:30What?
00:02:31Am I just supposed to find some random guy to get me pregnant?
00:02:44I don't need a man to have my dreams come true.
00:02:47One appointment.
00:02:48One sperm donor.
00:02:51And I can have my own baby.
00:02:59Six months to produce an heir or I lose control of Crawford Industries to my nephew.
00:03:05Everything I've built over the last decade, gone.
00:03:08Sir, the surrogate candidates have all been vetted thoroughly.
00:03:12I mean, Ivy League graduates, impeccable healthcare histories.
00:03:17I don't need resumes.
00:03:19I need someone who won't turn this into a media circus.
00:03:22Find me someone who knows their place.
00:03:24Someone who will quietly disappear after they give birth.
00:03:32You.
00:03:35Miss, are you here for the interview?
00:03:37Oh, um, right.
00:03:40Well, let's get started.
00:03:44Education background?
00:03:46Excuse me?
00:03:47And I'm going to need a complete medical history.
00:03:49Family genetic conditions, mostly.
00:03:51Um, do you exercise regularly?
00:03:53You look...
00:03:57Acceptable.
00:03:58Do you have any idea who I am?
00:04:01I'm just being thorough.
00:04:03This is about making a healthy baby, after all.
00:04:08Why are men always so fools themselves?
00:04:10Um...
00:04:12Um, sir, I don't care if you're Brad Pitt.
00:04:14I need to know about your...
00:04:16reproductive history.
00:04:18Sexual partners in the last six months?
00:04:20Mr. Crawford, I can show her out.
00:04:22It's okay.
00:04:23Thompson, you can leave us.
00:04:24Okay.
00:04:26What are you doing?
00:04:33I'm making sure this is thorough.
00:04:41I'm making sure this is thorough.
00:04:50Cycling.
00:04:51As for...
00:04:54Intimate matters, I can assure you that performance has never been a problem.
00:04:59Now that Thompson's gone, are you comfortable sharing yours?
00:05:01Um, of course.
00:05:03I'm perfectly healthy, too.
00:05:05I know kinetic conditions, I get checkups regularly.
00:05:09I haven't started taking prenatal vitamins.
00:05:13Good.
00:05:14I have to say, you're a perfect match.
00:05:17How about...
00:05:18In regards to compensation, have you got a figure in mind?
00:05:21Well, I was thinking...
00:05:23Eight hundred dollars?
00:05:25Eight hundred dollars?
00:05:27Well...
00:05:29I was expecting a figure...
00:05:32Much higher than that.
00:05:33I know it's not much, but...
00:05:34You know...
00:05:36Considering the quality...
00:05:38And I could help out in other ways.
00:05:39I could do your paperwork, or...
00:05:42Thompson, bring in the contracts.
00:05:53Are you serious?
00:05:56All this?
00:05:57Take your time reviewing, but the key point is...
00:05:59After birth, the child stays with me.
00:06:01No contact.
00:06:02Are you...
00:06:03Are you kidding me?
00:06:04You wanna keep my baby?
00:06:07Are you kidding me?
00:06:08You wanna keep my baby?
00:06:10My baby!
00:06:12Is this some kind of sick joke?
00:06:14That's standard procedure for a surrogacy agreement.
00:06:17Surrogacy what? Surrogacy!
00:06:19The position that you're interviewing for.
00:06:21Interviewing? No, I came here to buy sperm.
00:06:24You came to what?
00:06:29Oh my god.
00:06:32I...
00:06:35I thought you were a donor.
00:06:37That is why I came in asking you all those questions about your...
00:06:40qualifications.
00:06:42And I thought you were applying to be my surrogate.
00:06:46I am...
00:06:48So sorry about all the confusion. I...
00:06:53I'm gonna go.
00:06:56A million dollars.
00:06:58For caring my child.
00:07:05I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford.
00:07:08Not somebody else's.
00:07:14Next.
00:07:22Miss Reed.
00:07:23Your father.
00:07:24You need to come now.
00:07:34My love.
00:07:37Excuse me.
00:07:38Okay, dad. You're gonna be okay.
00:07:40I'm not afraid to die.
00:07:43I'm just afraid to leave you alone.
00:07:48Dad?
00:07:50Dad.
00:07:51Doctor!
00:07:52Help! Please!
00:08:02A doctor. My father. How is he?
00:08:04The cancer has spread aggressively, without immediate treatment.
00:08:08Then treat him. Now!
00:08:10The full course of treatment will cost approximately one million dollars.
00:08:15Aristocratic etiquette training. Influencer. Bachelor in economics.
00:08:20Yeah, right. She's underage.
00:08:22Is this the last batch?
00:08:23Yes, sir.
00:08:24The brunette asked me if I can do this.
00:08:25She asked about ring sizes.
00:08:26Blonde.
00:08:27All she asked about?
00:08:28A big name?
00:08:29And a redhead.
00:08:30Yeah, well, all of them just want the Crawford name.
00:08:34But none of them are suitable.
00:08:39This one was refreshing.
00:08:43She was real.
00:08:45No schemes.
00:08:46Well, Mr. Crawford, she wasn't here for servicing.
00:08:50Sometimes the best candidates aren't looking for the job.
00:08:53Oh my God.
00:08:53A million dollars?
00:08:56Maybe I could get a loan?
00:09:02A million dollars.
00:09:04For caring my child.
00:09:18Hello?
00:09:19Lila Reid.
00:09:20This is Adrienne Crawford.
00:09:27I saw her thinking.
00:09:32About the other day.
00:09:33I think I may have been...
00:09:36a little hasty.
00:09:37You're reconsidering?
00:09:38Don't look so smug.
00:09:39I just...
00:09:44I have my reasons.
00:09:46As do I.
00:09:48I'd like to propose a modification to the original terms.
00:09:55What kind of modification?
00:09:57Joint custody.
00:09:59As well as carrying the child you'd be...
00:10:02its mother.
00:10:05Why would you do that?
00:10:07You're direct.
00:10:08Honest.
00:10:09No hidden agendas.
00:10:11Qualities I want in my child's mother.
00:10:16So...
00:10:18I'd really be a part of the baby's life?
00:10:20Yes.
00:10:21But just to be clear.
00:10:23You'll be parents.
00:10:24Nothing more.
00:10:26No emotional entanglements.
00:10:27No romantic expectations.
00:10:29Please don't flatter yourself.
00:10:34Father.
00:10:35The board is getting impatient.
00:10:37Have you considered the arrangement that I've suggested?
00:10:41I have my own plans.
00:10:42Hey.
00:10:43If you're thinking of using some random surrogate.
00:10:46To produce an error.
00:10:48Forget it.
00:10:49The global name means something.
00:10:52I won't have to change it by...
00:10:55I've already chosen my fiance.
00:10:58What?
00:10:59I will talk about it again.
00:11:01I'm sorry.
00:11:03Did you just promote me from surrogate to fiance?
00:11:09Did you just promote me from surrogate to fiance?
00:11:14Didn't somebody just say...
00:11:16Just parents, nothing more?
00:11:19The situation requires...
00:11:22Adaptation.
00:11:23Is that CEO speak for I changed my mind?
00:11:26You'll need a convincing story.
00:11:27You'll stay at my house during the pregnancy.
00:11:30Okay.
00:11:33What about after?
00:11:34We'll arrange an amicable split.
00:11:37Continue co-parenting.
00:11:38I'll provide additional compensation for the...
00:11:42Complexity.
00:11:42No, the original match is fine.
00:11:44It's just...
00:11:47I do need it soon.
00:11:52So...
00:12:20Welcome to the family, Miss Reed.
00:12:23We were heightened.
00:12:49My whole apartment could fit in this hallway.
00:12:56Well, well.
00:12:58Missed me so much you had to track me down.
00:13:03You couldn't get over me, huh?
00:13:07Had to follow me here like a lost puppy dog.
00:13:10I followed you, no, I didn't.
00:13:12Wait, what are you doing here?
00:13:14What am I doing here?
00:13:15Sweetheart, you should know better.
00:13:17This is my family's home.
00:13:22You were so mad last time I saw you.
00:13:25Now I find you wandering around.
00:13:29I finally realized what you were missing.
00:13:31Get your hands off me.
00:13:34Plain hard to get.
00:13:36I thought it was cute before, but now?
00:13:40Come on, baby.
00:13:42This is what you really came in for.
00:13:45Right?
00:13:50Uncle!
00:13:52What are you doing?
00:13:53Your filthy hands off of my fiancée.
00:13:59Fiancée?
00:14:00Uncle?
00:14:05Fiancée?
00:14:06No way.
00:14:08She is just a...
00:14:09Shut your mouth.
00:14:11Show some respect to your future aunt.
00:14:15Come on.
00:14:16This is crazy.
00:14:19You seriously don't know.
00:14:23I won't repeat myself.
00:14:25Stay away from my fiancée.
00:14:29One more word and she will kiss your trust fund goodbye.
00:14:46Are you all right?
00:14:47Yeah.
00:14:48Yeah, I'm fine.
00:14:51I just...
00:14:54Ethan's your nephew?
00:14:55And he's your...
00:14:56And he's your...
00:14:58Well...
00:14:59Well...
00:14:59He may have been kind of...
00:15:01My boyfriend.
00:15:04Ex.
00:15:05Ex-boyfriend.
00:15:06Very ex.
00:15:07Extremely ex.
00:15:08Thanks.
00:15:08I see.
00:15:11Thompson will bring your things up shortly.
00:15:12Thanks.
00:15:14Um...
00:15:15Where will I be staying?
00:15:17Here.
00:15:23What?
00:15:24Unless you prefer explaining to the staff why the happy couple are sleeping in separate rooms.
00:15:29Oh.
00:15:32Right.
00:15:33Fake engagement.
00:15:35Real roommates.
00:15:38This is the line.
00:15:40Don't cross it.
00:15:41Ever.
00:15:42I wasn't planning on it.
00:15:43Good.
00:15:44Didn't want you to.
00:15:45Good.
00:15:46I won't.
00:15:46Okay.
00:16:02See?
00:16:03My brilliant plan work.
00:16:07Wait.
00:16:08How did I...
00:16:11Sir, our new project in Singapore has been blooming.
00:16:14I mean, we have some meetings for you to attend to discuss our future plans with the board members.
00:16:19Sir?
00:16:25You okay?
00:16:27A church!
00:16:28Jesus Christ!
00:16:30You okay?
00:16:31Yeah.
00:16:31I'm fine.
00:16:32Continue.
00:16:33Okay.
00:16:34So, the meeting.
00:16:35Singapore.
00:16:44Laila.
00:16:45Stay on your side.
00:16:51Laila.
00:16:53Laila, wake up.
00:17:08Laila.
00:17:12Laila.
00:17:16Laila.
00:17:22Laila.
00:17:25Laila.
00:17:42Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:17:48Okay.
00:17:50Maintain control.
00:17:53Oh, oh, oh.
00:17:56Oh, that's cold.
00:17:57That's cold.
00:18:06Ow!
00:18:08Sorry, didn't see you.
00:18:10It's hard to notice the help.
00:18:15Ah!
00:18:17My brother's mysterious fiance.
00:18:21Mrs. Crawford.
00:18:23Catherine, we're family now, supposedly.
00:18:36Tell me, dear, how did you meet Adrian?
00:18:41Through mutual friends.
00:18:44Really?
00:18:45Mutual friends.
00:18:48Pray tell what mutual friend would Adrian possibly have in your social circle.
00:18:56Unless, of course, it was a business arrangement.
00:18:59I'm sorry?
00:19:04A girl in your position surely would have negotiated.
00:19:11The only negotiations was whether I'd take his last name or keep mine.
00:19:15Helen.
00:19:15Well, then.
00:19:18Next weekend is our family dinner.
00:19:21You, as Adrian's fiance, would be expected to attend.
00:19:27I'd be honored.
00:19:29Wonderful.
00:19:29I'm sure you can find something suitable to wear.
00:19:38Helen, make sure to take good care of your mistress.
00:19:53Excuse me, Miss Reed.
00:19:55Need to clean.
00:19:56Oh, of course.
00:19:57Let me just get myself out of your way.
00:20:02Is this what you're wearing to the family dinner?
00:20:08How creative.
00:20:10Must be harder than your family watching you change a rich man.
00:20:14As a maid, maybe you should just focus on your own job.
00:20:16My business is none of your concern.
00:20:22Oh, how a plant killed me.
00:20:27Stop it!
00:20:29Really?
00:20:30I think you mean you could just marry a rich man.
00:20:32You just trash trying to climb a social ladder.
00:20:36Hey, Mr. Crawford?
00:20:40She was trying to attack me.
00:20:44I'm just trying to help.
00:20:46Get out.
00:20:47I'm sorry.
00:20:48Can you explain?
00:20:49One more word and you're fired.
00:20:51Get out.
00:20:55What happened?
00:20:57Nothing.
00:20:58I just...
00:21:00I need some space.
00:21:03I'll stay in the guest room tonight.
00:21:04Lali, you don't have to.
00:21:05Please.
00:21:08I need some time alone.
00:21:10No, you stay.
00:21:11I'll sleep on the sofa.
00:21:21I miss her so much, Daddy.
00:21:24Don't worry about me, okay?
00:21:26As long as we can get you better,
00:21:28I won't let the words get to me.
00:21:30I promise.
00:21:38What happened?
00:21:42What should I do?
00:21:54What should I do?
00:21:56What's the matter of today?
00:22:03Oh.
00:22:04Is it awkward?
00:22:14No worries.
00:22:15It's just a small pinch.
00:22:16That is not small.
00:22:32It's the perfect timing for the injection.
00:22:44Mr. Crawford, it is your time for the sperm collection.
00:22:47Okay, how do we do this? What equipment do we need?
00:22:50No need. Just head to the collection room and use your hand.
00:22:54Okay.
00:23:16And pretend she's not right out that door.
00:23:21Mr. Crawford, are you alright in there?
00:23:27I'm fine. I just, uh, need some assistance.
00:23:33Oh, do you need help?
00:23:35What? No, wait. I didn't mean...
00:23:37Are you sure? I can come in there.
00:23:42Um...
00:23:47Okay. Come in.
00:24:00So...
00:24:01Want to help?
00:24:02Yeah, what can I...
00:24:05Oh my God.
00:24:07You thought...
00:24:08No, no, I didn't...
00:24:10Um, I didn't...
00:24:11Alright, um...
00:24:12I'm...
00:24:14I'm...
00:24:14I'm gonna go.
00:24:16I'm gonna go...
00:24:17I'm gonna go so far away.
00:24:20Helpful.
00:24:35Are you okay?
00:24:36Are you okay?
00:24:37Dr. Anderson said the hormone chops might hurt a little, but...
00:24:40You're in pain.
00:24:41It's just some discomfort. It'll pass.
00:24:43I'll be okay.
00:24:50Here, this should help.
00:25:03Yes.
00:25:09Um, well, the hormone shots were part of the agreement.
00:25:13So any resulting discomfort is technically a work-related issue.
00:25:17And as your employer, I have a duty of care.
00:25:34To this plan on your hands is very responsabil, but that's something.
00:25:35All right.
00:25:41You've talked about the
00:25:41And that the reimbursement of therieben One of the parents came to know where they will amendment...
00:25:58Purely professional care.
00:26:26Adrien, wait.
00:26:27About this weekend.
00:26:28Sorry.
00:26:28Emergency in Atlanta.
00:26:29The merger's falling apart.
00:26:31But...
00:26:31Thompson, have the jet ready in 20.
00:26:33Your family invited me to dinner.
00:26:35Now you know what?
00:26:37I can do it myself.
00:26:41I don't suppose that we could expect punctuality from someone who has never owned a watch in
00:26:49her entire life.
00:26:51I introduced him to the Thompson Arons, Senator Stolter.
00:26:56I don't know why he picked this gold digger from God knows where.
00:27:01Ethan, what did you say that she does a fashion designer?
00:27:06Worse.
00:27:09Seamstress.
00:27:10She probably thinks having the proper family do her name will raise her to the top and
00:27:15then she can have her own fashion show.
00:27:17She's poor.
00:27:18Fine.
00:27:19But no sense of time either.
00:27:22I need to have a serious talk with Adrien.
00:27:24Probably just staying for a wardrobe.
00:27:26Can't find something to wear.
00:27:28A fashion designer scrounging around for an outfit.
00:27:32How ironic.
00:27:33Maybe her designs are just too embarrassing to be seen in public.
00:27:36a fashion designer.
00:27:38But seriously.
00:27:40I mean, I do pity her, right?
00:27:43Her worthless clothing and our beautiful home.
00:27:46I mean, it must be incredibly humiliating.
00:27:50I mean, it must be incredibly humiliating.
00:27:52Go get her now.
00:27:53I'm sorry about this.
00:27:54You're not.
00:27:57You're not.
00:27:59I'm not.

00:43:28You two are finally back together
00:43:31Everyone, look who's here
00:43:33The golden couple
00:43:36I heard Adrian Crawford was engaged
00:43:39I knew it must be you, Vivian
00:43:42Perfect match
00:43:45Just like a harvard
00:43:46Where's your wedding?
00:43:55Actually, I'd like everyone to meet my fiance
00:43:58Lila Reed
00:43:59We're expecting our first child
00:44:01And yes, you're all invited to the wedding
00:44:09She's pregnant?
00:44:11I'm so sorry
00:44:13I just assumed
00:44:16My congratulations to you both
00:44:18I want to talk to you
00:44:20But it's
00:44:21Mergingly
00:44:22They could be so judgmental, can't they?
00:44:34Don't take it personally, dear
00:44:43You do look like the perfect couple
00:44:52Drinking
00:44:54Thought you were pregnant
00:44:57That's none of your business
00:44:59Do you even know the true Adrian?
00:45:01I tell you he's someone who cares a lot about love
00:45:05What do you want?
00:45:08Look
00:45:12Aren't they the perfect couple?
00:45:13You know, he'd do anything for her
00:45:15Even save her from the pains of childbirth
00:45:21Yeah
00:45:23They've been real happy ever since she got back
00:45:29Get it now, don't you?
00:45:32He's just using you to have a baby
00:45:33So that she doesn't have to
00:45:35You're so naive
00:45:40So I'm just a tool to have a baby?
00:45:50I don't want my fiancee thinking there's anything between
00:45:55I don't care if it tears me apart
00:45:58We couldn't let go
00:46:07What do you think you're doing?
00:46:09You're pregnant
00:46:10What are you doing?
00:46:12Why do you care?
00:46:14It's soda, okay?
00:46:16I know what I'm doing
00:46:24What happened back there?
00:46:26Talk to me
00:46:28Lila, I'm worried
00:46:30What?
00:46:30So you'll talk to Ethan but not me?
00:46:33When you were having such a lovely chat with your girlfriend back there
00:46:36Did you even notice I was there?
00:46:43Lila, I'm worried about you
00:46:46Worried about me?
00:46:47Or worried about your baby?
00:46:52Worried about me?
00:46:53Or worried about your baby?
00:46:55What's that supposed to mean, babe?
00:46:56You know, I thought you'd been so nice to me
00:46:57All of a sudden
00:46:58Giving me snacks
00:47:00And being protected
00:47:00What?
00:47:01Because I'm carrying your child?
00:47:03Lila, why are you acting so weird since yesterday?
00:47:05Did you date Vivian?
00:47:06Yes
00:47:07And now she wants to get back together with you
00:47:09Yes
00:47:09So what?
00:47:10Am I just some replacement for her?
00:47:12Is that why you were looking for a surrogate?
00:47:13Yes, I wanted a surrogate
00:47:15But it wasn't for Vivian
00:47:16It was
00:47:16No, you know what?
00:47:17I get it
00:47:17I get it
00:47:18Follow the contract
00:47:19Have your baby
00:47:25Thompson
00:47:26Sir, sorry to bother you at night
00:47:28The Singapore merger is falling apart
00:47:29We need you here immediately
00:47:31I'm in the middle of something
00:47:32I can't
00:47:33The board is threatening to pull out
00:47:38Okay, I'll be there
00:47:42Isla
00:47:43We need to talk about this
00:47:46As soon as I get back
00:47:47Sure
00:47:48Business first
00:47:55Sir, there have been some complications
00:47:57Explain
00:47:58Well, during your absence season
00:47:59Has been meeting board members
00:48:00Suggestion that your sudden marriage plans
00:48:02May indicate that you're unstable to run the company
00:48:04Sir, several executives are questioning
00:48:06If somebody so personally invested
00:48:08Could run the company
00:48:21Mr. Crawford
00:48:22We've been discussing
00:48:23My personal life
00:48:24Your sudden absence is
00:48:26Let me be very clear about something
00:48:29This company
00:48:30Had a 40% profit loss
00:48:33Before I took over
00:48:34Within three years
00:48:36I tripled our market share
00:48:37Every major merger
00:48:39Every successful acquisition
00:48:41Every stock cert
00:48:42My strategies
00:48:43My execution
00:48:49So yes
00:48:50I'm getting married
00:48:52And yes
00:48:53I took some time off
00:48:54But no
00:48:55Not a single person
00:48:57In this room
00:48:58Has the right to question
00:48:59My commitment
00:49:00Or my capability
00:49:01Because without me
00:49:03There wouldn't even be a company
00:49:05To an heir
00:49:07So now
00:49:08Shall we discuss the merger
00:49:30Get out
00:49:31Lila
00:49:32There's nothing between me and Vivian
00:49:34The surrogacy is not for her
00:49:36I know what I saw
00:49:37Just get out
00:50:06What the
00:50:09What the hell were you thinking at the board meeting yesterday?
00:50:12Of doing my job.
00:50:13Your job is to follow the family's strategy.
00:50:16Ever since she came into your life,
00:50:19you've been ruining,
00:50:20you've been undermining everything that we built.
00:50:23Leave Ryla out of this.
00:50:24I don't need to stand here and listen to you.
00:50:26Oh, run along.
00:50:28The adults are talking business now.
00:50:31Don't worry, dear.
00:50:32We just need to borrow him for a moment.
00:50:35Business matters.
00:50:35You wouldn't understand.
00:50:40She's nothing but a fruit mare.
00:50:43Once she delivers,
00:50:44you pay her off and you'll be done with it.
00:50:47Adrian needs someone who understands this world.
00:50:50Someone like me.
00:50:55Vivian joins Crawford Industries tomorrow.
00:51:00Non-negotiable.
00:51:01We'll be with you every day.
00:51:03Just like before.
00:51:05And your little pet project.
00:51:07She can stay at home with just that.
00:51:09That's all she's good for.
00:51:13Get out!
00:51:14Both of you!
00:51:15Dare you!
00:51:16If you ever speak about my wife like that again,
00:51:19I swear I will burn Crawford Industries to the ground before I let either of you touch it.
00:51:26Adrian, be reasonable.
00:51:29She's worth a thousand up here.
00:51:32Tomorrow, 9am.
00:51:34Vivian starts.
00:51:36No discussion.
00:51:38Is that all?
00:51:39For now,
00:51:40don't disappoint me again.
00:51:55Stop it! Stop checking!
00:51:57I...
00:51:57I was independent before him.
00:51:58I didn't need someone to...
00:52:01create a meal plan for me or...
00:52:04hold me while I sleep.
00:52:08No.
00:52:09I'm not gonna be that girl.
00:52:16I can work on my own.
00:52:18You know, I don't need his...
00:52:21arranged mincer, his...
00:52:23dental care, I...
00:52:25just a tool for a baby.
00:52:27Ah!
00:52:35So Lila and Adrian's relationship is on the rocks.
00:52:39Well, if it isn't the perfect opportunity to gain her trust and trick her back to me.
00:52:44Lila!
00:52:46I'm fine.
00:52:47You're not fine.
00:52:48Hospital.
00:52:50Now.
00:52:51Put me down!
00:52:52Put me down!
00:52:59Thank you...
00:53:00for bringing me here.
00:53:01I know we've had our...
00:53:03differences.
00:53:05I'm like...
00:53:06Now you used to look at me like this.
00:53:09So sweet and sincere.
00:53:11No.
00:53:12Why not?
00:53:14You're telling me there's really nothing still between us.
00:53:17Ethan...
00:53:18He's using you, Lila.
00:53:20Yeah, I know I've messed up, but...
00:53:21seeing the way he treats you, it's tearing me apart.
00:53:28Ethan, you...
00:53:31Adrian, stop!
00:53:32What are you doing?
00:53:33I'm protecting you!
00:53:34Ethan, help me!
00:53:35He found me bleeding and brought me here.
00:53:37And now you're defending him?
00:53:38I'm defending the truth.
00:53:40Sometimes people surprise you.
00:53:43I see.
00:53:45Adrian...
00:53:46I'll get the doctor.
00:53:49Adrian...
00:53:53I want full blood work,
00:53:55fetal monitoring,
00:53:56and get the OBGYN down here.
00:54:00Sir, it's just a minor cough.
00:54:02I want to get a complete prenatal check-up.
00:54:05I've already called Dr. Reynolds,
00:54:07she'll be here in 10 minutes.
00:54:08So bossy.
00:54:10Some of us actually know how to make Lila happy.
00:54:14One of those beach dates we used to have...
00:54:16I think you said I was the best.
00:54:21Thompson, call in the catering.
00:54:24Yeah, they're one of the questions.
00:54:26Lila's been craving something.
00:54:29Medium fatty cut.
00:54:31No, what's up?
00:54:32I didn't say those.
00:54:34The prenatal vitamins I researched should arrive shortly.
00:54:37They're custom formulated for a Lila flood type and genetic makeup.
00:54:40Yeah.
00:54:46Everything's already being taken care of.
00:54:49You can defend him.
00:54:50If he touches you, Reagan.
00:54:53I'll be there.
00:54:56I didn't mean to.
00:54:58But...
00:55:05Vivian was sick.
00:55:06I gave her a key and let her rest at our place.
00:55:10Overworked, they say.
00:55:12I'm cleaning up your company's mess.
00:55:14I have meetings.
00:55:17Well, cancel them.
00:55:19You're going to take care of her now.
00:55:21No negotiation.
00:55:23Well, either you show proper respect to the woman I chose for you.
00:55:27Or I'll call an emergency board meeting.
00:55:35You can skip the performance, Vivian.
00:55:39It's still so cold.
00:55:41Remember the first time you bought me flowers?
00:55:44Yeah, that was a long time ago.
00:55:48Adrian, we could be that again.
00:55:54Whatever game you're playing here...
00:55:56It won't work.
00:56:00Get out.
00:56:01I want my fiance seeing you.
00:56:05Maybe I was wrong.
00:56:07I should have trusted him.
00:56:09I should have given him a chance to explain.
00:56:14Because some things never change.
00:56:20But...
00:56:20...
00:56:32Lailah.
00:56:33Hi, Dad.
00:56:39Your hand!
00:56:41It's nothing.
00:56:44Dad, I have something I want to tell you.
00:56:50I'm having a baby.
00:56:51You're going to be a grandpa.
00:56:54Is that one of Ethan's boys?
00:56:56No, not him.
00:56:57Then who?
00:56:59It doesn't matter.
00:57:00Dad, look, what really matters is that this is my baby.
00:57:05And I am going to love them just like you love me.
00:57:09Oh, sweetheart, I'm so sorry.
00:57:13I'm sorry I couldn't take care of you.
00:57:15If I was healthier, if I could work.
00:57:18Dad, it's okay.
00:57:19The hospital bills.
00:57:21Where are you going to get the money from?
00:57:24How are you going to pay for them?
00:57:27Please tell me you didn't sell yourself to someone.
00:57:30No, Dad, it isn't like that.
00:57:32Did someone take advantage of you?
00:57:34My little girl, pregnant and alone.
00:57:38She's not alone.
00:57:44Adrian.
00:57:45Mr. Reed.
00:57:46I'm Adrian Crawford.
00:57:48I'm the father of the child.
00:57:51Not just the father.
00:57:53I'm the man who's going to spend the rest of his life making sure that your daughter and our child
00:57:58have everything they deserve.
00:58:00Pretty words from a rich man.
00:58:02Not words.
00:58:05Facts.
00:58:06I've already arranged for you to be transferred to a private medical facility.
00:58:10Full treatment plan.
00:58:11The very best specialists.
00:58:13Adrian.
00:58:14And I promise you this.
00:58:16Every morning, your daughter will wake up knowing that she's cherished.
00:58:21Every decision I make, every step I take, will be to ensure her happiness.
00:58:28You really mean that, don't you?
00:58:31Yes, I do.
00:58:34Well, maybe I don't have to worry so much anymore.
00:58:43Thank you for saying all that.
00:58:47I know you were just trying to make my dad feel better, but...
00:58:50I wasn't just trying to do anything.
00:58:54Everything I said was true.
00:58:56I thought you were just worried about me breaking the contract.
00:59:00Finally, you have to understand something.
00:59:03I have been falling for you ever since you crashed into my office with that ridiculous donor questionnaire.
00:59:11Yes, we had a contract.
00:59:14But I realize you've become everything to me.
00:59:17Not my surrogate.
00:59:20Not my pretend fiancé.
00:59:25If you're willing, would you like to forget the contract and become my real wife?
00:59:41Babe.
00:59:42Did she come and see you?
00:59:45Did she hurt you?
00:59:46No.
00:59:48Just...
00:59:49Was it she or Truella?
00:59:51I saw you taking care of her.
00:59:52What?
00:59:53I have nothing to do with her anymore.
00:59:56Yes, my father asked her over, but I kicked her out.
00:59:59I haven't had feelings for her since we broke up.
01:00:02Really?
01:00:11I'm not letting you go.
01:00:14Not ever.
01:00:15I think we're past trying to hide who we are.
01:00:22Surrogacy?
01:00:23I don't know.

01:10:46Beautiful.
01:10:51Yeah, it is.
01:11:00Milo, were you?
01:11:03Yes, of course.
01:11:15When did you get this?
01:11:18Back when I realized I'd give up everything for me.
01:11:37How's it going?
01:11:39Good.
01:11:40Just finished my last sketch.
01:11:42I didn't hear Sugar Mommy just landed another big deal.
01:11:51Yeah?
01:11:52Adrian, come back to the Crawford family.
01:11:56Come back to your position and your inheritance.
01:12:05What do you mean you're canceling the contract?
01:12:07We've been partners for ten years.
01:12:13Grandfather, no.
01:12:14Please don't call Adrian.
01:12:18So you want me to come back?
01:12:21I have to ask my wife.
01:12:24What do you think, Mrs. Crawford?
01:12:31First order of business today.
01:12:35What is this?
01:12:36Starting without me.
01:12:37Perfect timing.
01:12:38I was just announcing your termination.
01:12:42The company crisis last month turns out wasn't an accident.
01:12:46Ethan deliberately sabotaged every deal.
01:12:50There's no proof.
01:12:51You misappropriated partnership funds to indulge in your own personal affairs.
01:12:56Bad investments, shady deals, and reckless spending have led us to financial setbacks and operational setbacks.
01:13:06And it's all documented right here.
01:13:10The lawsuit's already been filed.
01:13:13What?
01:13:14You actually did this?
01:13:17No, Grandpa.
01:13:18He's lying.
01:13:19It's all a lie.
01:13:21Dad.
01:13:23Either you let me handle this my way.
01:13:25Or I can still walk.
01:13:31Adrian.
01:13:37Mr. Crawford.
01:13:39The vote for new director.
01:13:44Competence is everything.
01:13:47I'm getting old.
01:13:49And from now on, Adrian will handle everything.
01:13:54No.
01:13:55Don't listen to him.
01:13:56Don't listen to him.
01:13:57Please.
01:13:58You're making a mistake.
01:14:00Where are you going?
01:14:03My company.
01:14:04You hear that?
01:14:04My fucking company.
01:14:06Come back.
01:14:11The baby's asleep.
01:14:14Guess that means I get you all to myself.
01:14:18Don't distract me.
01:14:19I'm almost finished.
01:14:22I'm demanding my wedding dress.
01:14:24Incredible.
01:14:26I might hire you to design my tuck.
01:14:30You know, I think I'm going to have to check my schedule.
01:14:34Oh, it's like that.
01:14:38I still can't believe we're getting married.
01:14:41Ever since you crashed into me at the hospital, I haven't been able to get you out of my head.
01:14:45And soon I'll be able to love you openly and officially for the rest of my life.
01:14:52Do you have to?
01:14:52I'll be able to do it.
01:14:54I'll be able to do it.
01:14:54Oh, it's like that.
01:14:54Yeah.
01:14:58Can we practice the kiss as well?
01:15:00If you have to.
01:15:15Your father said no fiancé by Christmas, no inheritance.
01:15:20Do you really want to give all that up?
01:15:27Everybody, this is my new girlfriend.
01:15:31You didn't tell me your parents were this rich.
01:15:35I brought you all a basket from the Miller Farm.
01:15:37A bottom.
