Short filmTranscript
00:00The night I signed the divorce papers, I wandered the streets of New York alone.
00:04It was raining in Manhattan, cold wind cut between the skyscrapers,
00:09chilling me to the bone. My bank accounts had already been frozen,
00:13my apartment access had been revoked, and my phone balance showed less than $40 left.
00:18Dragging my suitcase behind me, I sat outside a 24-hour convenience store,
00:23mechanically scrolling through job listings on my phone.
00:25Almost every position required long-term work history or a permanent address.
00:30And at that moment, I had none of those things.
00:32Just when I was about to give up, a new listing suddenly appeared on the screen.
00:38Live-in nanny wanted.
00:40The words accommodation included immediately caught my attention.
00:44I never expected the family behind the listing to be the Blackwoods.
00:49At that moment, I stood outside a private estate on the north shore of Long Island,
00:53beside an elderly butler with an unreadable expression.
00:58Miss Carter, there's something I need to make clear before you enter this house.
01:03Mr. Blackwood is looking for a guardian for the young master, not a partner for himself.
01:08Several women misunderstood that distinction before you.
01:10I hope you won't.
01:12I lowered my head slightly and kept my eyes down.
01:15Honestly, this job sounded perfect to me.
01:18I had finalized my divorce that very morning.
01:20The thought of getting married again was the last thing on my mind.
01:23But as long as I had somewhere to stay, I wouldn't have to spend the night wandering the streets.
01:28To me, this opportunity felt like a lifeline.
01:31I nodded immediately.
01:32I understand.
01:33I won't have any inappropriate thoughts.
01:35The butler finally seemed somewhat satisfied and led me down a long hallway.
01:39The air carried a faint cedarwood scent, an oppressive aura unique to a powerful alpha's territory.
01:45Then we entered the dining room.
01:48At the far end of the enormous table sat a young father and son locked in a silent standoff.
01:54The tall man held a child's dinner plate in one hand, exhaustion faintly visible between his brows.
02:01Across from him, the little boy sat with his lips tightly pressed together, refusing to cooperate.
02:06The silence in the room was almost unsettling.
02:08After a long moment, the man finally let out a low sigh.
02:12It looked harder than negotiating a billion-dollar Wall Street merger.
02:15He pinched the bridge of his nose and spoke quietly.
02:19Noah, just one bite, okay?
02:22The boy turned his face away stubbornly.
02:24Sir, the new applicant has arrived.
02:27The man finally looked up.
02:29He wore simple black slacks and a white dress shirt, the top two buttons undone loosely, revealing the sharp line
02:36of his collarbone.
02:37His sleeves were rolled neatly to his forearms, exposing pale skin and lean muscle beneath.
02:43I recognized that face instantly.
02:45Alexander Blackwood.
02:47One of the most dangerous alphas in North America.
02:50His gray-blue eyes were cold as ice.
02:53One glance from him was enough to make people instinctively back away.
02:56And yet, for some reason, I wasn't afraid.
02:59His gaze swept lightly over me and paused for half a second.
03:03The restless alpha pheromones, lingering in the room, suddenly calmed.
03:07Something flickered in his eyes.
03:10Name?
03:10Evelyn Carter.
03:12I answered quietly.
03:13He gave an almost imperceptible nod before handing me the plate.
03:17You try.
03:18Then he leaned back in his chair, arms folded, silently watching me.
03:23This was probably my interview, and I needed this job desperately.
03:26At the very least, I didn't want to sleep in a subway station tonight.
03:31Holding the plate carefully, I forced a gentle smile and walked toward the little boy.
03:35Before I could get close, he suddenly doved beneath the table, leaving only a pair of dark,
03:41angry eyes staring at me.
03:42I don't want her!
03:44Tell her to leave!
03:45She's just like the others!
03:46So there had already been many future stepmothers before me.
03:50That only made me more determined to succeed.
03:52I glanced around the room and noticed superhero toys scattered everywhere.
03:57An idea immediately came to mind.
03:59I picked up an action figure and crouched beside the table with a smile.
04:02Relax.
04:03I'm not feeding you, I'm feeding Superman.
04:05I pretended to feed the toy seriously.
04:09Superheroes need to eat too.
04:10If they don't eat, how are they supposed to save New York?
04:13Oh?
04:14You want broccoli?
04:15Of course.
04:16Broccoli helps you grow strong enough to defeat bad guys.
04:19Under the table, the little boy was clearly wavering, but he still stubbornly refused to
04:24say anything.
04:24I deliberately continued ignoring him, until his nose turned red and he looked moments
04:29away from tears.
04:30Only then did I pretend to notice him.
04:32Oh?
04:33What's this?
04:34There's a little wolf cub hiding under here?
04:36Trying not to laugh, I raised the superhero toy.
04:40Superman, would you like to share your dinner with the little wolf cub?
04:43I lowered my voice dramatically.
04:45Of course.
04:45A wolf cub needs to eat properly if he wants to become the strongest alpha.
04:50That finally broke him.
04:51The little boy nodded aggressively.
04:53The moment I lifted the spoon, he took a huge bite.
04:56Then another.
04:57And another.
04:58After several mouthfuls, he suddenly glared at me indignantly.
05:02Why didn't you give me more broccoli?
05:05Are you scared I'll become stronger than Superman?
05:08I couldn't help laughing.
05:10But when I turned around, I met Alexander Blackwood's gaze.
05:13For the first time, the cold sharpness in his expression softened.
05:18Something unfamiliar flickered within those gray-blue eyes, as though he had finally recognized
05:22something he'd been searching for all along.
05:25That very evening, I moved into Blackwood Manor.
05:28The entire estate has three floors.
05:30Noah and I stayed on the second floor, and Alexander stayed on the third.
05:33Before going upstairs, the old butler, Harris, purposely stopped, his expression serious,
05:38and reminded me.
05:39Miss Carter, there's something you have to remember.
05:43Absolutely never go up to the third floor without Mr. Blackwood's permission.
05:48I froze for a moment.
05:50Harris didn't change his expression as he continued.
05:52A lady once snuck into the master's room late at night, trying to become the lady of the Blackwood
05:59household.
05:59She almost got thrown out the window.
06:02Mr. Blackwood greatly dislikes it when others overstep their boundaries.
06:06I nodded immediately.
06:08I understand.
06:10To be honest, I don't have the headspace for that.
06:13At this point, I just want to hold on to this job.
06:16Not to mention, an alpha on Alexander Blackbourne's level.
06:20He's just not someone I can afford to mess with.
06:22Noah is only five, but surprisingly independent.
06:26He sleeps on his own at night, which is a huge relief for me.
06:32The next afternoon, Alexander came home, and there I was, squatting in the front yard, feeding
06:37Noah.
06:37Actually, scratch that.
06:38Noah was on a leash, sitting side by side with the family's Alaskan Malibut on the lawn,
06:42having an eating contest.
06:44Big dog takes a bite.
06:45Noah takes a bite.
06:46It was surprisingly wholesome, and kind of fierce, too.
06:50Alexander had just stepped out of the car when he falls.
06:53He stared at the scene, and his face went dark in an instant.
06:57Evelyn, what do you take my son for?
07:02Ow!
07:04Dad, we're role-playing!
07:06Look!
07:07I ate more than a rocket today!
07:10Alexander's frown deepened, and he slowly turned to look at the butler beside him.
07:15Sir, although Miss Carter's method is a bit unconventional, the results are undeniable.
07:21Before, no matter how we chased after him, the young master just wouldn't eat.
07:25But this afternoon, he's already finished two whole plates of pasta.
07:28He's even insisting that he have to beat Rocky.
07:32The man silently watched his son demolish broccoli, steak, and mashed potatoes, his expression
07:37growing more and more complicated.
07:39After a long moment, he finally let out a resigned sigh, as if accepting his fate.
07:44At the very least, Noah and Rocket should have separate dishes.
07:51Don't worry, sir.
07:52Rocket's a very clean dog.
07:54He hasn't so much as touched Noah's spoon.
07:57Alexander's temple pulped a little, like he was about to say something.
08:01But then he just squeezed his eyes shut, turned, and walked into the house.
08:06The sun was slowly setting.
08:08Noah held the leash, running across the lawn and how-ow like a wolf.
08:12Rocket was running wild with excitement, too.
08:13I was laughing so hard.
08:15Little did I know, behind the floor-to-ceiling window on the second store, Alexander stood
08:20there quietly, watching us.
08:22Miss Carter is practically magic.
08:24Before, the young master wouldn't eat, wouldn't talk, wouldn't even go outside.
08:28But she's only been here one day and everything has changed.
08:33Sir, I think this time, we've finally found the right person.
08:36By the time I brought Noah back inside, Alexander was already seated in the first floor living room.
08:41Long legs crossed, watching the business news.
08:44His aura was still so intense you didn't dare look straight at him.
08:47I just took the leash off Noah when Alexander suddenly said,
08:52Okay, Mr. Blackwood.
08:56I gave Noah to the maid, then sat properly across from him on the sofa.
09:01Alexander looked up at me.
09:02You're great with kids.
09:03Have you done this before?
09:05I took care of my ex-hun's sister's kid for two years.
09:10At the time, Ryan's family thought I wasn't making enough, so they told me to quit.
09:14But once I did, they figured I was worthless, just staying home.
09:19So they went ahead and fired the babysitter and made me watch their children.
09:24Alexander listened in silence.
09:25His gray-blue eyes were deep, unreseidable.
09:27After a moment, he suddenly asked,
09:29According to your file, you just got divorced?
09:32Hmm.
09:32Reason?
09:33We're from different worlds.
09:35It was quiet for a moment.
09:37Alexander looked at me, his gaze heavier than usual.
09:40You should have already seen the job posting from yesterday.
09:43Noah's a special case.
09:44He has no sense of security.
09:45He doesn't want to go out, doesn't want to meet strangers,
09:48and he really resists going to school.
09:50And I don't have much time to spend with him.
09:52So, I need someone who can stay by his side long term.
09:57A real mother figure.
09:59If you're willing to stay, we'll sign a pre-nuth-will agreement.
10:03Assets will remain completely separate.
10:05You won't be taking on any risk.
10:06Families like theirs were all the same.
10:09Even though my first marriage had started because of love,
10:12the gap between our social status had been too large.
10:15Ryan's family still insisted on a pre-nuth-will agreement.
10:18So when we divorced, I walked away with almost nothing.
10:21And a family like the Black Hose, an old money dynasty at the very top of New York society,
10:26would naturally treat marriage even more cautiously.
10:29After hesitating for a moment, I finally spoke.
10:32Actually, I only need a place to stay.
10:35We don't necessarily have to legally marry.
10:37Alexander looked up at me.
10:39The marriage is for Noah.
10:40I need to give him a stable family structure.
10:43And marriage is the most effective legal protection.
10:45He sounded as though he were discussing a business contract.
10:48And somehow, that made me feel strangely reassured.
10:53Then we'll do it your way.
10:54After the marriage, I'll transfer $20,000 into your account every month for personal expenses.
10:58That part mattered to me more than anything.
11:01After all, I had already learned what happened when money was left entirely in someone else's hands.
11:06I hesitated before quietly asking,
11:08If we ever divorce in the future, will I be allowed to keep that money?
11:13Alexander looked mildly surprised by the question.
11:15He watched me silently for two seconds before answering.
11:18Of course.
11:19It already belongs to you.
11:21Only then did I finally relax.
11:23That's good.
11:25And for now, I have no intention of establishing a true mate relationship.
11:29You'll continue staying on the second floor.
11:31That's fine.
11:32I don't have that intention either.
11:34And just like that, three days after my divorce, I got married again.
11:38Just like my first marriage, there was no wedding.
11:41No vows.
11:42At dinner that night, Harris unusually instructed the kitchen to prepare several additional dishes.
11:46Then Alexander slid a black velvet box towards me.
11:49Inside was a diamond ring.
11:51A very large diamond ring.
11:53That's really not necessary.
11:55For Noah.
11:55I immediately understood.
11:57Children needed the illusion of a complete family.
12:00So in the end, I accepted it.
12:04That night, I had just finished showering and climbed into bed
12:07when my bedroom door slowly creaked open.
12:09Noah stood outside holding a little wolf plushie, looking unusually conflicted.
12:14What's wrong?
12:15The little boy lowered his head and awkwardly twisted the hem of his pajamas.
12:19Could you read me a bedtime story?
12:21I froze for a second.
12:22Noah pressed his lips together nervously.
12:25I can ask my dad to increase your rallery, but if you don't want to, you can say no.
12:30I lifted the blanket slightly and gestured toward him.
12:33Come here.
12:33The little boy's eyes lit up instantly.
12:36He immediately climbed into bed with his wolf plushie clutched tightly in his arms.
12:41That night, Noah fell asleep in my embrace while listening to the story.
12:46The next morning, Alexander was visibly surprised when he heard about it.
12:50That familiar faint approval appeared in his eyes again.
12:53Evelyn, thank you for your hard work.
12:55Starting next month, I'll have finance increase the amount transferred into your personal account.
12:59I stared at him in shock.
13:02That's really too much.
13:04After all, I had done far more in my previous marriage than I was doing now, yet when the
13:09divorce ended, I couldn't even afford a hotel room.
13:11During the day, I took care of Ryan's sister's child.
13:14At night, I cooked dinner for Ryan.
13:16And after midnight, I still had to clean the entire apartment.
13:19Even so, when the divorce happened, they still acted as though I had been the one benefiting
13:23from three luxurious years with the Sterling family.
13:26Thinking about it now felt almost absurd.
13:29Mr. Blackwood, you really don't have to do this.
13:31I genuinely like Noah.
13:33He's actually a very gentle child.
13:35It was only a bedtime story.
13:36Before finished speaking, a small warm hand suddenly grabbed mine.
13:40Noah was holding onto my hand tightly.
13:42The little boy still had his usual serious expression, but his eyes were shining brightly.
13:46The women before you only cared about getting close to me.
13:50No one ever truly cared about Noah.
13:52So you deserve the money.
13:54I could no longer refuse, so I simply thanked him.
13:57From that moment on, Noah became completely attached to me.
14:01Alexander was constantly busy with work, so most days the enormous estate only held the
14:06two of us.
14:07Until the day I needed to return to the hospital for another evaluation and refill my medication.
14:12Harris had warned me before.
14:14Noah couldn't go too far from the estate.
14:16Unfamiliar environments could easily trigger severe stress reactions.
14:20So I crouched down in front of him and patiently negotiated.
14:24I'll be back very soon.
14:25Can you wait for me at home?
14:27But Noah simply grabbed my hand tightly.
14:29He didn't say a word.
14:31He only looked at me quietly.
14:33Those beautiful eyes were filled with unease.
14:37The young master is afraid you'll leave.
14:40He's afraid you'll disappear like all the others.
14:42Something in my chest softened instantly.
14:45I'm not leaving.
14:46I'm only going to see the doctor.
14:49I'll come back soon and stay with you.
14:51Before I could even finish speaking, Noah had already climbed into the back seat of the
14:56car.
14:56Young master, are you going to the hospital too?
14:58Noah silently nodded.
14:59Harris's eyes instantly turned red, as though he had just witnessed a miracle.
15:04God bless the Blackwood family.
15:06The doctor said my depression had stabilized significantly over the past few weeks.
15:12Honestly, the cedarwood scent that lingered throughout the Blackwood estate really did
15:16make me feel calmer.
15:18Before I left, she adjusted my prescriptions again.
15:21After we walked out of the consultation room, Noah stayed unusually quiet beside me.
15:26Evelyn, are you sick?
15:29The little boy was clearly worried.
15:31Yeah, I got sick because I didn't take care of myself properly, so Noah has to eat well
15:36from now on, okay?
15:37Noah immediately looked alarmed.
15:39Does it hurt?
15:41Before I could answer, Noah had already started digging through his pockets.
15:46A few seconds later, he carefully placed a slightly melted chocolate bar into my palm.
15:51If it hurts, you should eat something sweet.
15:54Dad says sweets help people feel better.
15:57I stared at the chocolate in my hand, and suddenly, tears slipped down my face without warning.
16:04During those three years with the Sterling family, every time I cried, they called me too
16:09sensitive and too emotional.
16:10You're exhausting, Evelyn.
16:12And yet now, this little wolf cub, who clearly lacked security himself, was willing to give
16:18me his favorite chocolate.
16:19I pulled Noah tightly into my arms.
16:22The little boy obediently curled up against me, and even awkwardly patted my back the way
16:27adults comfort children.
16:28Evelyn, I will sure to eat properly from now on on.
16:32When I grow up, I'll protect you.
16:34I burst out laughing through my tears and rubbed his soft hair.
16:39Then you'd better grow up quickly.
16:41By the time Noah and I walked out of the hospital, a black Benti was already waiting outside.
16:47Alexander was leaning against the car, his tall figure cold and elegant enough to look like
16:52he belonged on a magazine cover.
16:54I walked over while holding Noah's hand.
16:56Mr. Blackwild, what are you doing here?
16:58Alexander immediately lowered his gaze to check Noah's condition.
17:02After confirming the boy hadn't suffered any stress reaction, he visibly relaxed.
17:06Harris told me Noah left the estate with you.
17:08I was worried.
17:09Noah rested against Alexander's shoulder but still held tightly onto my hand.
17:12Dad, as long as Evelyn is here, you don't need to worry.
17:17Alexander paused slightly.
17:18Then he slowly looked up at me.
17:20I know.
17:21That night, Alexander offered to increase my allowance again.
17:24I nearly panicked, trying to refuse.
17:27Then is there anything you need?
17:28I hesitated for a long time before quietly saying,
17:31Could you maybe help me find a cheap used car?
17:34It would make going out much easier.
17:36You can use any car in the garage.
17:37No.
17:38The cars in your garage are way too expensive.
17:40I'd be terrified to drive them.
17:42Every vehicle owned by the Blackwoods cost a ridiculous amount.
17:46I honestly suspected I couldn't even afford the insurance on them.
17:50Alexander stayed silent for two seconds.
17:52The next morning, a used SUV was parked beside the Blackwoods' luxury cars.
17:57At the same time, Alexander also arranged for a psychiatrist who was supposedly nearly impossible to book in New York.
18:04Her conclusions were almost identical to the hospitals.
18:07Mrs. Blackwood needs a stable emotional environment most right now.
18:10She needs support from family.
18:15I understand.
18:16The next day, I drove that used SUV and took Noah out.
18:20Because of his severe anxiety, even minor external simulation used to trigger emotional meltdowns, so he rarely ever left the
18:27estate.
18:28Now, I wanted to slowly help him reconnect with the outside world.
18:31We went to the amusement park first, then stopped by Trader Joe's to buy groceries.
18:36By the time we finished shopping, my hands were full of bags.
18:40Noah followed behind me, carrying a single grocery bag with a tiny frown on his face.
18:45Evelyn!
18:45This is heavy!
18:47But my hands are full too.
18:48Can you help me a little longer?
18:49Noah puffed out a small breath and adjusted the bag in his arms.
18:53Fine!
18:54I'll help you this one time.
18:56Next time, don't buy so many things.
18:58I secretly smiled to myself.
19:01Evelyn?
19:02But just as we stepped into the underground parking garage, a familiar voice suddenly called out behind me.
19:07A voice belonged to the ex-husband I hadn't seen in a very long time.
19:11I'm sorry.
19:12I'm sorry.
19:12Bye-bye.
