00:00Today, my husband came home with his mistress and forced me to sign the divorce papers.
00:08Then he threw me out.
00:12Because I had been a housewife and had not earned any money,
00:15they refused to let me take even a single suitcase.
00:18My bank cards were frozen.
00:20All I had left was $23 from grocery shopping.
00:23$23 was not enough to find a place to stay in Manhattan.
00:28I did not want to sleep on the street, so I stubbornly kept scrolling through job apps.
00:33But every job requires work experience. I had none.
00:36Then one posting caught my eye.
00:38Wanted. Stepmother for a child.
00:41Food and lodging included.
00:43Lodging included instantly caught my attention.
00:46That night, I went there.
00:48Standing outside the gates of a luxury estate, I did not expect the employer to be the Blackwell family.
00:53The richest family in the world.
00:56Mr. Blackwell is looking for a mother for his son, not a wife for himself.
01:00Please keep that in mind. Do not have any appropriate ideas.
01:03I understand.
01:05I won't overstep.
01:07In truth, I had only finalized my divorce that morning.
01:10I had no interest in marrying another man right now.
01:12But if I could take care of a child and have a place to stay,
01:15I would not have to spend money renting an apartment.
01:17For me, trapped in such a desperate situation, this was a very good chance.
01:23Butler Whitman nodded and led me into the dining room.
01:26Beside the long dining table, a young father and son were locked in a silent battle.
01:30The calm, cold-looking man held a bowl and spoon, his face dark.
01:33Leo, just one bite, please.
01:36The gloomy little boy bit his lip and refused to back down.
01:39After a long while, the man sighed and put down the bowl in defeat.
01:43Mr. Blackwell, another applicant is here.
01:47The man slowly turned around.
01:48He wore simple black trousers and a white shirt.
01:51The top button was undone, faintly revealing his collarbone.
01:54I had seen his face before on financial news.
01:57He was too handsome and too striking.
02:00One look was enough to remember him forever.
02:02The moment I saw his face, I finally relaxed.
02:05He was Adrian, the richest man in the world.
02:07There was no reason for a man like him to scheme against a divorced woman as broke as me.
02:12His deep gaze swept over me lightly, his voice carrying a trace of exhaustion.
02:16Try it.
02:18I had to perform well.
02:20If I could stay, at least I would not have to sleep on the street tonight.
02:23Holding the bowl, I smiled gently and walked toward Leo.
02:27Leo shot under the dining table.
02:29Only a pair of dark, grape-like eyes remained visible.
02:32No! Make her leave! I don't want her to feed me!
02:35They are all bad women!
02:37It seemed that before me, Leo had already met several stepmothers.
02:41I looked around and noticed superhero figures everywhere in the house.
02:45An idea immediately came to me.
02:47I picked up a superhero figure and placed it under the table beside Leo.
02:50Don't worry. I'm not here to feed you.
02:53I'm here to feed Spider-Man.
02:55After saying that, I pretended to feed Spider-Man.
02:57Eat more.
02:58You need to be full before you can save New York.
03:02A child who doesn't eat will have skinny arms and legs.
03:05If he can't even protect himself, how can he protect the city?
03:09Leo lay beside me with a pitiful look, as if he had been completely forgotten.
03:17Only when his nose turned red from anxiety and he was about to cry, did I act as if I
03:21had just discovered him.
03:22Oh my, is there a tiny hero here, too?
03:26Spider-Man, can you share the rest of your food with him?
03:29Only after he eats can he grow as strong as you.
03:32I lowered my voice and pretended to speak like Spider-Man.
03:34Of course.
03:36Only when you're full will you have the strength to save the world.
03:40Then I returned to my normal voice and smile as I brought the spoon to Leo's mouth.
03:44Do you want to eat now?
03:45Leo nodded hard and immediately took the spoon into his mouth.
03:48After several big bites, he even glared at me, accusing him.
03:51Why aren't you feeding me more?
03:52Are you scared?
03:53Scared I'll become stronger than Spider-Man?
03:56Bad woman!
03:57I laughed.
03:58By accident, I met Adrian's eyes.
04:00I saw the tension between his brows ease.
04:02He gave me an approving smile.
04:04I knew I had passed the interview.
04:06That night, I stayed in the estate.
04:08Four-year-old Leo and I lived on the second floor.
04:10Adrian lived alone on the third.
04:12Butler Whitman reminded me again and again.
04:14Miss Nora, I must emphasize, you must never go to the third floor.
04:20A woman once got bowled and sneaked upstairs in the middle of the night trying to climb into Mr. Blackwell's
04:24bed.
04:25Mr. Blackwell had security throw her out on the spot.
04:27I nodded repeatedly and promised I would never cross the line.
04:31Leo was very independent.
04:33At only four years old, he could sleep by himself.
04:35That saved me a lot of trouble.
04:37The next afternoon, when Adrian came home from work, I was feeding Leo at the front of the mansion.
04:41There was a pet leash around Leo's neck.
04:43He sat side by side with a golden retriever on the lawn.
04:46They were both enjoying themselves.
04:47Adrian's face darkened on the spot.
04:50Nora, what the hell are you treating my son as?
04:53Nora, what the hell are you treating my son as?
04:55His voice was cold and sharp.
04:57I trembled.
04:58Before I could say anything, Leo spoke first.
05:00Daddy, Nora and I are role-playing.
05:02Look, I ate way more than Max.
05:05Adrian's frowned deep in.
05:08Butler Whitman hesitated before speaking.
05:10Mr. Boutwell, Miss Nora's method is a little unusual, but it clearly works.
05:15Before, no matter how we chased after Leo to feed him, he refused to eat.
05:19But this afternoon, Leo already ate two large bowls of pasta and even swore that he must beat Max.
05:23Adrian coldly looked at Leo, who was eating without the slightest dignity.
05:27Fine.
05:28But people and dogs should still use separate tableware.
05:30Please don't worry, Mr. Blackwell.
05:32Your dog is very clean.
05:33It didn't even touch Leo's spirit.
05:34Adrian froze.
05:35The next second, his face turned black and he turned around and went into the house.
05:39Because Leo had eaten too much, I had no choice but to walk him and Max around the garden for
05:43half an hour.
05:44What I did not know was that Adrian was standing by the second floor window, watching us.
05:48Butler Whitman sighed again and again.
05:50Miss Nora really is impressive.
05:52Leo usually doesn't like eating, talking, or exercising.
05:56But in just one day, he has changed so much.
06:00Mr. Bracknell, this time, we may truly have found the right person.
06:04When I went upstairs, Adrian was sitting on the sofa in the first floor living room.
06:08His long legs were crossed and his presence was outstanding.
06:11I removed the leash from Leo and was about to take him upstairs for a bath when Adrian suddenly stopped
06:15me.
06:16Nora, let's talk.
06:17I handed Leo to Butler Whitman.
06:20You're very good with children.
06:21Have you had a child before?
06:24No.
06:25I once helped look after my ex-husband's sister's child for two years.
06:29Back then, my ex-husband's family thought I earned too little and ordered me to quit my job.
06:33After I quit, they said I was freeloading at home, lazy and useless.
06:37So they simply fired his sister's nanny and threw all the childcare work onto me.
06:40Your file says you were divorced?
06:41Adrian looked at me with deep eyes.
06:43Yes.
06:45Your file says you were divorced?
06:48Yes.
06:50Why?
06:51Adrian looked at me with deep eyes.
06:53We had different values.
06:56This child has no sense of security.
06:58He only wants to stay at home.
07:00He refuses to go out and he refused to go to Kinzer Garden.
07:03I'm busy with work, so I want to find a patient at Heumann to be his muffin.
07:06I will sign a pre-medal with you with you.
07:08There'll also be a pre-entret notification.
07:10I nodded.
07:11I understand.
07:12Families like theirs all did this.
07:14Although my last marriage had been for love, the gap between our backgrounds was too large.
07:19So I had also signed a pre-nuptial agreement.
07:21So when that love finally wore due to the end to nothing, I was left with nothing in the divorce.
07:26Even my wedding ring had been taken back.
07:27After thinking for a moment, I said seriously.
07:29Actually, I'm already satisfied as long as I have a place to stow.
07:32We don't need to legal register the marriage.
07:35The marriage certificate is for Leo.
07:37I want to find him a long-term Mance.
07:42Nat will do as you say.
07:44I will give you $20,000 a month for living expenses.
07:46It will be for your personal use.
07:48Don't worry.
07:48That money will belong completely to you.
07:50As for married life, I have no need for it for now.
07:52So you will still sleep on the second floor.
07:54Okay.
07:55I have no need for that either.
07:57And just like that, on the third day after my divorce, I got married again.
08:00Just like my first marriage, there was no wedding.
08:04At dinner, Butler Whitman specially asked the kitchen to add a few extra dishes.
08:09Adrian handed me a diamond ring.
08:11That's not necessary.
08:13For Leo.
08:17Oh.
08:18All right.
08:19Sorry for the trouble.
08:23That night, I had just lain down when Leo pushed open my door and stood there nervously.
08:29Nora?
08:29What's wrong, Leo?
08:30Can you read me a bedtime story?
08:32I'll ask my daddy to pay you more.
08:34Of course, if you don't want to, forget it.
08:36My heart softened instantly.
08:37Come here.
08:38I lifted the blanket, and the little boy climbed in smoothly.
08:41That night, Leo fell asleep in my arms while listening to my bedtime story.
08:47Early the next morning, Adrian was shocked when he heard about it.
08:50Once again, approval showed between his brows.
08:53Noah, thank you for your hard work.
08:56I'll add another $10,000 to your monthly allowance.
09:00Mr. Brackwell, that's too much.
09:04After all, I had done far more in my last marriage.
09:07But when I got divorced, I was so broke, I could not even afford a motel.
09:12During the day, I looked after my ex-husband's sister's child.
09:16At night, I cooked for my ex-husband.
09:18After satisfying his physical needs, I still had to get up in the middle of the night to
09:22clean the house.
09:22Even so, when we divorced, the Reed family said I had enjoyed three years of good life.
09:27I really like Leo.
09:29He may seem cold on the outside, but he is warm inside.
09:31He is very kind.
09:32I only read him a story.
09:34It was nothing difficult.
09:35I suddenly felt something small and warm grab my right hand.
09:38I looked down and saw Leo holding my hand, looking up at me.
09:42His little face was serious, but his dark, grape-like eyes were watery.
09:45I did not expect him to be moved so easily.
09:48The women who came before me cared only me about pleasing me.
09:52They ignored Leo's feelings.
09:55The extra $10,000 is decided.
09:57Since I could not refuse, I could only thank him.
10:01From that day on, Leo became inseparable from me.
10:04Until one day, I needed to go to the hospital for a checkup and get my medicine.
10:07I promised I would come back as soon as possible.
10:10But Leo held my hand and refused to let go.
10:13Leo, are you going to the hospital with Miss Nora?
10:16God bless us.
10:17Leo is actually willing to leave the house.
10:20In the end, Leo came with me to see the doctor.
10:23The doctor said my depression had improved recently
10:25and encouraged me to keep staying positive and relaxed.
10:28After we came out of the consultation room, Leo asked,
10:30Nora, are you sick?
10:32Does it hurt?
10:34His face was full of worry, looking at his innocent, concerned little face.
10:37If it hurts, I can give you candy.
10:39If you eat candy, you can forget the toy.
10:41Dad had told me that.
10:42My tears fell without warning.
10:43Nora, I will eat properly.
10:45When I grow up, I can protect you.
10:48Then you'd better grow up quickly.
10:51When the two of us walked out of the hospital with red eyes,
10:53a low-key black Bentley was parked at the entrance.
10:56Adrian was leaning against the car.
10:59Mr. Blackwit, why are you here?
11:01Adrian picked Leo up.
11:03Seeing his son calm and composed, Adrian's eyes turned red.
11:06Whitman told me Leo left the house with you.
11:08I was worried, so I came to check.
11:09Daddy, as long as I'm with Nara, you don't need to worry.
11:14Adrian looked deeply at me and nodded.
11:17Daddy understands.
11:22Nora, I want to raise your allowance again.
11:24No, no, that's too much.
11:26Please don't.
11:28Nora, is there anything you want?
11:31I struggled for a long time before saying,
11:34Can you help me find a used car?
11:37Around $5,000 in total would be enough.
11:40It would make it easier for me to go out.
11:42You can choose any car from my garage.
11:44The cheapest car in your garage costs more than $200,000.
11:47I don't dare to drive it.
11:49Adrian nodded.
11:50Fine.
11:54Early the next morning, beside Adrian's luxury cars,
11:57there was a $5,000 used Ford minivan.
11:59He also invited a psychologist,
12:01said to be famous worldwide, to the house.
12:02Mr. Brackwell, your wife needs her family's company.
12:05Please don't put too much pressure on her.
12:09I'll remember that.
12:10The diagnosis was the same as the hospital's.
12:12Only the medicine prescribed to me
12:14was replaced with imported medication
12:15I had never been willing to spend money on before.
12:21The next day, I drove Leo out to play.
12:23He used to have no sense of security.
12:25First, we went to an amusement park.
12:31Then we went to a farmer's market.
12:36Nora!
12:37I don't want to hold it!
12:39But the things in my hands are too heavy.
12:41Can you help me?
12:47Fine, I'll help you just this once.
12:49Don't buy fish again next time.
12:52Leo followed behind me,
12:53holding a live fish that was still thrashing around inside a bag.
12:56His handsome little face tightened into a straight line.
12:59Nora!
12:59I instantly became tense.
13:01It was my ex-husband, Ethan.
13:03Out of instinct, I grabbed Leo's hand and tried to leave.
13:06Who's child is this?
13:09After leaving me, all you can do is work
13:11as a nanny for some rich family?
13:14Looks like you really can't put out survive me.
13:17Now you're head.
13:18And I can apologize to me.
13:20I might not consider letting you away the Reed family.
13:22I was furious.
13:24Leo immediately stood in front of me.
13:26Bad man!
13:27Don't bully my mommy!
13:31Mommy!
13:31What did he just call you?
13:33Mommy?!
13:36When did you get a child this old?
13:38What the hell is going on?
13:39I tightened my grip on Leo's hand.
13:42That has nothing to do with you.
13:44Ethan, we are already divorced.
13:46I have nothing to do with the Reed family anymore.
13:50Nora, even after the divorce, you are still my ex-wife.
13:54Now a child suddenly appear beside you.
13:55I have every reason to suspect you cheated on me behind my back.
13:59I only take care of this child.
14:00We are not related by blood.
14:02He simply doesn't have a mother.
14:03That's all.
14:04You can leave now.
14:07So that's it.
14:09You really are this child's nanny.
14:10Looks like I guessed right.
14:14After leaving me for so long,
14:16have you started missing the life of being Mrs. Reed?
14:19Outside it were just games.
14:21As for the wife, says it if.
14:22I haven't considered it with anyone else.
14:24I kept it for you until now.
14:29As long as you fix that terrible temper of yours,
14:31leather, lower your head,
14:33and apologize to me, my family, wife...
14:37No need to keep from me.
14:40Mr. Reed, you must all give him that precious in me hand or someone else.
14:43I don't want it.
14:46On the way back, I could not help thinking about the past.
14:48Ethan and I had gotten together in college.
14:51After graduation, he overcame all obstacles and married me into the Reed family.
14:54But later, after he took over his family's medical equipment company,
14:57he began to feel more and more that I was holding him back.
15:00Later, he made me look after his sister's child, too.
15:02I endured all of that.
15:04After all, we had married for love.
15:05But then I caught Ethan at a private club.
15:07He was holding a heavily-dressed woman in his arms and kissing her.
15:09I could no longer suppress my emotions.
15:13I made a scene, but Ethan only said lightly,
15:16What successful man doesn't have a few women around him?
15:19He stopped coming home.
15:20My condition worsened.
15:21The doctor told me not to suffer any more emotional shocks.
15:24When all hope was gone, I asked for a divorce.
15:26Ethan thought I was using our marriage to threaten him,
15:28so he immediately brought his mistress and had a lawyer draft a divorce agreement.
15:31He wanted me to leave with nothing.
15:33I signed it without hesitation.
15:38Four years of love, three years of marriage.
15:41All of it ended up in an instant.
15:45Nora, I'll stay with you from now on.
15:48Thinking of the mommy Leo had accidentally called me just now,
15:51my heart trembled.
15:56Although I had blocked everyone in the Reed family,
15:58I had kept only his number.
16:00I'd always believed that the child himself was not wrong.
16:02The adults who guided him were the ones at fault.
16:06Besides, after caring for him for two years,
16:08I thought there was at least some affection between us.
16:11I adjusted my emotions and tried to make my voice sound gentle.
16:15Hello, Connor.
16:17Connor shouted in a nasty voice.
16:19Nora, I heard from Ethan that you went to work as a nanny for someone else's family.
16:30Can't you think about the bigger picture?
16:33By doing this, aren't you slapping Ethan in the face?
16:36Aren't you slapping the entire Reed family in the face?
16:40What will people outside say about the Reed family behind our backs?
16:44Nora, no wonder I've always looked down on you.
16:46You really are as cheap and disgraceables as ever.
16:49I bent over the steering wheel and burst into tears.
16:52I did not know how long had passed.
16:54Holding out a tissue with his little hand,
16:56Leo suddenly spoke.
16:57Nora, here.
16:59Wipe your tears.
17:00Only then did I remember that Leo was still sitting in the child safety seat in the back.
17:04Sorry.
17:05Did I scare you?
17:07Nora, I'm not scared.
17:09You can cry slowly.
17:11I'll wait for you.
17:13It's not shameful for adults to cry.
17:15I will laugh at you.
17:16His childish words made me laugh.
17:18Thank you, Leo.
17:19You're so good to me.
17:20I've cried enough.
17:21I won't cry anymore.
17:22Let's go home.
17:26That night, because I was not in a good state,
17:28I returned to my room early.
17:30A light knock sounded on the door.
17:31Nora, may I come in?
17:33It was Adrian's voice.
17:35Come in.
17:37I carefully pulled my robe together.
17:39Without his usual cold sharpness,
17:40he looked cleaner and gentler.
17:42After glancing at my wet hair,
17:44he unnaturally looked away and began to examine the guest room.
17:46Why haven't I seen you wear the clothes in the walk-in closet?
17:49After marrying into the Reed family once,
17:50I had learned one truth.
17:52If a circle does not belong to you,
17:53you should not force yourself into it.
17:55Otherwise, when you are kicked out,
17:56it will be humiliating.
17:57Although Adrian and I had legally registered our marriage,
18:00in essence,
18:00I was only a high-level nanny.
18:02What kind of nanny wore couture gowns
18:03and limited edition dresses?
18:05Those clothes are too expensive.
18:06I'm not used to them.
18:08Are the styles not to your liking?
18:11If you don't like them,
18:12I can ask designers to come to the house
18:14and customize new ones for you.
18:15No, no, Mr. Blacklit.
18:17Other than taking care of Leo every day,
18:19I don't have any occasion to wear those kinds of loads.
18:22I really don't need them.
18:23I heard you ran into your ex-husband today.
18:26I froze.
18:26I guess Leo had told him.
18:28Your ex-husband's surname is Reed?
18:30The Reed family and medical equipment?
18:33Yes, that Reed family.
18:35But it's all in the past.
18:38Nora, ever since you came here,
18:40Leo has become much happier.
18:44You pay me so much.
18:45This is what I should do.
18:47Nora, you can ask me for anything.
18:50His dark, deep eyes look straight at me.
18:52I should be able to satisfy you.
18:54Mr. Blackwick, I don't need anything.
18:56His fingers tightened unconsciously.
18:58In the end, he nodded and left.
19:07Recently, Adrian had been coming home from work very early.
19:10Every night, he ate dinner with Leo and me.
19:12After dinner, sometimes he even played parent-child games with us.
19:15This was so unusual that I became worried.
19:17Could he be going bankrupt?
19:18It was not that I was worried about him going bankrupt.
19:21I was worried that my $50,000 monthly allowance would disappear.
19:24Mr. Backwared, why have you been coming home so early lately?
19:29If you have work to do, you should go handle it.
19:31Leo has me.
19:32The doctor said you need your family's company.
19:34Now Leo and I are your family.
19:36We should take responsibility.
19:39Actually, Leo keeping me company is enough.
19:41The doctor said my condition improved largely because of Leo.
19:44In that gaze, there was an emotion I could not explain.
19:46Come on.
19:47I'll take you to read.
19:48Daddy still has work to do.
19:49As if he hated that Adrian was not doing better.
19:53Nara!
19:54Tomorrow night, I need to attend a charity gala.
19:56I'm required to bring a female companion.
19:58Can you come with me?
20:00Me?
20:01Yes.
20:02You.
20:03The timing is too tight.
20:06It's a little too late to find someone else.
20:09I can pay you an appearance fee.
20:11With a status, how could he possibly fail to find a female companion?
20:13Sure.
20:15But I don't really understand high society etiquette.
20:18You only need to stay by my side.
20:20Don't worry about anything else.
20:22Ms. Nora, you don't need to understand social etiquette.
20:26With Mr. Barkin's status, even if you make a mistake, no one will dare criticize you.
20:33The next afternoon, a styling team came to the house.
20:35I suddenly became nervous.
20:37Surprise flashed through his eyes the moment he saw me.
20:39Daddy, look how pretty Nora is.
20:41You should call her Auntie.
20:43It's fine.
20:44When you call me Nora, it makes me feel young.
20:47Tonight was a charity gala.
20:48Mr. Blackwell, who is this beautiful lady?
20:52I'm Mr. Blackwell's friend.
20:53My wife, Nora.
20:55My face flushed all the way to my neck.
20:59Nora, is it embarrassing to be my wife?
21:02You couldn't even say it out loud.
21:04No, please don't misunderstand.
21:05I was afraid of embarrassing you.
21:08Nora, only an incompetent man would think his wife embarrasses him.
21:13I'm going to get a drink.
21:15Then I almost fled.
21:16I did not expect to run into Ethan.
21:18He had not brought a female companion.
21:21Nora, is that really you?
21:23I almost didn't recognize you.
21:29Nora, my sister calling you that day was not my idea.
21:32Actually, I only agreed to the divorce because I thought you were too spoiled.
21:35I wanted to punish you a little.
21:37I never truly wanted to separate from you.
21:39Ethan, walk closer as if you were being considerate.
21:42Nora, as long as you lower your head and apologize to my mother and sister,
21:45I'll agree to remarry you.
21:47Recently, the Reed family business has run into some trouble.
21:51I've been overwhelmed, so be sensible.
21:54Stop making trouble with me, okay?
21:55I pulled my hand back at once.
21:57Nora, you still don't know you're wrong.
21:59You're still so stubborn.
22:02Looks like you haven't suffered enough yet.
22:04When you finally realize your problem,
22:07come back and beg me.
22:09As he spoke, Adrian walked toward us.
22:14Nora, we'll talk about our matter later.
22:16I need to discuss BIS with an important man now.
22:18Don't interfere.
22:19He eagerly walked toward Adrian.
22:20Mr. Blackwell, I'm Ethan Reed from Reed Medical.
22:22Regarding your decision to stop using ours' medical equipment,
22:25I would like another chance to discuss it with you.
22:27For the past five years,
22:29Reed Medical has always based the main equipment supply
22:31on Blackwell's detents at UN's and Ternsville-twent equipment.
22:33But you eternally decided to end your cub with Reed Eel.
22:36May I ask if we did something wrong?
22:38Adrian did not even look at Ethan.
22:39He only kept asking me.
22:40Nora, what do you think?
22:42Should I give him this jihue?
22:43The moment Ethan heard that, his face stiffened.
22:46Nora?
22:47What does this have to do with her?
22:48Mr. Blackwell, you may not know this,
22:49but Nora is my ex-wife.
22:50She must have wanted to beg me to get back together with her,
22:52so she tried everything to create a chance encounter.
22:54She is just a housewife.
22:55Please don't take her seriously.
22:57Nora, tell me.
22:58I'll listen to you.
22:59Just now, Mr. Reed told me not to interfere
23:01with his serious business,
23:02so I won't give an opinion.
23:03Of course you can't give opinion on men's business.
23:05You really are from a small family.
23:06You can appear in proper society.
23:07Before I could speak, Adrian said indifferently,
23:08Since Nora doesn't want to give an opinion,
23:10it probably means she doesn't think Reed Medical is worth it.
23:12Mr. Reed, I'm afraid I can't help you.
23:14The next second, he wrapped an arm around my shoulder
23:16and led me away.
23:17Mr. Reed, did you offend Mr. Blackwell's wife?
23:18If so, you really kicked an iron wall.
23:20She is the only woman who has appeared beside Mr. Blackwell
23:22in all these years.
23:23Mr. Blackwell's wife?
23:24Did she just think wearing a couture gown
23:25meant she could tend to be the noble Mrs. Blackwell?
23:28Some people really can't be saved.
23:29The man sighed and turned away.
23:33After the gala ended,
23:34everyone crowded around me and tried to flatter me.
23:36I had never experienced this kind of occasion.
23:38I was also afraid of embarrassing Adrian,
23:40so I drank a few more glasses.
23:41In the end, Adrian helped me out.
23:43Sorry, everyone.
23:44My wife doesn't hold her link well.
23:46I'll drink for her.
23:47By the end,
23:47both of us had been forced to drink quite a lot.
23:50We got into the extended Lincoln.
23:52By accident,
23:53I looked out the window.
23:54I met Ethan's mocking eyes.
23:55The corner of his mouth was raised.
23:57His face was full of ridicule,
23:58as if I were extremely laughable.
24:00I closed the car window
24:01and thanked Adrian seriously.
24:03Mr. Blackwell,
24:03thank you for helping me tonight,
24:05including in front of Ethan.
24:07Nora, we are husband and wife.
24:08You don't need to be so polite with me.
24:10We are only a married couple in public.
24:12You helped me out of chineness.
24:13Adrian's voice was low and slightly drunk.
24:15Nora, what if I don't want to be
24:16only a married couple in public?
24:18His long fingers raised my chin.
24:19His fingertips gently rubbed my skin.
24:21His body slowly leaned closer to mine.
24:23His wine-scented breath brushed against my chin.
24:25The desire in his eyes
24:26was completely undisguised.
24:27I turned my head
24:28and avoided his touch.
24:29Mr. Browswed,
24:30you're drunk.
24:34Adrian paused.
24:35He rubbed his empty fingers
24:36and sat back.
24:37Sorry,
24:38I really drank too much.
24:39After that,
24:39no one spoke in the car again.
24:41I was so nervous,
24:42I did not dare move.
24:43Fortunately,
24:44Leo had been waiting for me at home.
24:45The moment I got out of the car,
24:46he ran toward me
24:47with a picture book in his hands.
24:48I used the chance to hold his hand
24:50and returned to the second floor.
24:52That night,
24:52after I coaxed Leo to sleep,
24:53I opened my phone
24:54and looked at job listings.
24:56There was one thing
24:57Ethan had said correctly.
24:58My education was not low.
25:00I should return to the workplace,
25:01not just work as a nanny.
25:03After my last marriage,
25:04I understood something.
25:05A woman still needed a career of her own.
25:07Otherwise,
25:07when a man no longer needed you,
25:08you could only be thrown out.
25:10I never wanted to experience
25:11that humiliation again.
25:12Right now,
25:13Leo needed me
25:14so I could still stay
25:15in the Blackwell house.
25:16But what if one day
25:17he no longer needed me?
25:17It was still right to learn more.
25:18That way,
25:19I would not be passive again
25:20in the future.
25:21Just as I was thinking,
25:22Adrian suddenly sent me a message.
25:23For a moment,
25:24I thought I had read it wrong.
25:25Adrian had warned me
25:25in the beginning
25:26that I was not allowed
25:27to go to the third floor.
25:28But I still did not question him.
25:29I went downstairs
25:29and made Adrian a cup
25:30of freshly ground coffee.
25:32But when I stood at the staircase,
25:33leading to hesitating again,
25:34if I really went upstairs,
25:35would he fire me?
25:36Was he holding a grudge
25:37because I rejected him
25:38in the car tonight?
25:38After struggling for a long time,
25:40I still did not dare
25:40step onto the stairs.
25:41I called Adrian.
25:44Mr. Black,
25:44your coffee.
25:45Please come downstairs to get it.
25:46Come downstairs to get it.
25:47Please bring it up for me.
25:48Luckily,
25:48I had started recording in advance.
25:50If he made trouble for me later,
25:51I could use it as evidence.
25:52I hung up
25:52and knocked on Adrian's bedroom door.
25:53Come in.
25:55I had no choice
25:56but to push the door open.
25:56The moment I did,
25:57my eyes met Adrian's.
25:58He must have just finished showering.
26:00His belt was tied loosely,
26:02making his waist
26:02look especially narrow.
26:03A large part of his firm chest
26:04was exposed.
26:05Clear drops of water
26:06fell from his hair
26:07and disappeared into the bathrobe.
26:09A beautiful man
26:10fresh out of the bath.
26:11It was far too seductive.
26:12I hurriedly lowered my head
26:13and did not dare look again.
26:15Adrian took the coffee.
26:16His fingers brushed against mine.
26:18I was so nervous
26:19that I took a step back.
26:21Adrian asked in a low voice,
26:22Are you that afraid of me?
26:24Nora,
26:25am I some kind of monster?
26:29My face flushed
26:30all the way to my neck.
26:31I quickly turned
26:32and walked out.
26:33Nora.
26:33Adrian stopped me.
26:35From now on,
26:35you can enter my room
26:36whenever you want.
26:37He said something
26:38completely inexplicable.
26:39I did not stop.
26:40I hurried downstairs.
26:42The next morning
26:43when I woke up,
26:44I felt a little dizzy
26:45and my throat hurt.
26:46Maybe I had caught a cold
26:46because I drank last night
26:47and did not sleep well.
26:48I did not expect Adrian
26:49to be downstairs
26:49when I went down.
26:50He was sitting leisurely
26:51on the sofa,
26:52reading the Wall Street Journal.
26:53The most surprising thing
26:54was that the man
26:54who usually wore
26:55a three-piece suit
26:55was wearing a black
26:56turtleneck today.
26:57He was also wearing
26:58rimless glasses.
26:59That outfit made
26:59his perfect body line
27:00stand out even more.
27:01He looked seriously charming.
27:05Good morning.
27:07I had wanted to greet him,
27:08but I could not help coughing.
27:09Did you catch a cold?
27:11Maybe a little.
27:12Adrian walked over
27:12in a few steps
27:13and placed his hand
27:14on my forehead.
27:14His movement was natural
27:16and smooth,
27:16but it frightened me so much.
27:17It's not serious.
27:18I'll make some cold medicine
27:19and drink it.
27:20I should be fine.
27:21Sit down and rest.
27:21He helped me to the sofa
27:22with almost impossible gentleness.
27:24Then he walked toward
27:24the open kitchen
27:25with his long legs.
27:26I had to admit,
27:27that outfit was deadly on Adrian.
27:28He stood tall and elegant,
27:30lowering his head
27:31to poor water.
27:31I could not help wondering
27:32what kind of woman
27:32Leo's mother had been
27:33to deserve such an outstanding man.
27:35After taking the medicine,
27:36I was worried
27:36I would affect Adrian's work,
27:37so I returned to my bedroom
27:38on my own.
27:39I slept for a while.
27:40Then I was woken up in a daze
27:41by a call from an unfamiliar number.
27:43Hello, how are you?
27:44Nora, it's me.
27:45Nora, don't you dare hang out
27:46right outside the Blackwell estate.
27:47If you don't want me
27:48to make a scene in front of Adrian,
27:49come out and see me right now.
27:50I really did not want him
27:51to cause trouble
27:51in front of Adrian
27:52because I did not want
27:53my unbearable past
27:54exposed in front of anyone.
27:55The moment I walked out
27:56of the Blackwell gates,
27:57Ethan immediately came up to me.
27:59Nora, have you made enough trouble?
28:00You were the dignified of Mrs. Reed,
28:01and now you're working
28:02as a nanny
28:02in someone else's house.
28:03You not feel ashamed,
28:04but I do.
28:05Ethan, I'm not making trouble.
28:07Nora, stop pretending.
28:08If you keep pretending,
28:09it'll be too much.
28:10Last night,
28:11you dressed yourself up
28:12and sneak in the gala.
28:13Wasn't it all
28:13to make me regret it?
28:14Fine, I admit it.
28:15After you left,
28:16I did regret it a little.
28:17Now I'm giving you
28:18a chance to come back.
28:19As long as you admit
28:20your mistakes
28:21and apologize to my mother
28:22and sister,
28:22I'll agree to remarry you.
28:24Then you won't have
28:25to lower yourself
28:25and work as a Nancy anymore.
28:27Ethan, I did nothing wrong.
28:29What mistake
28:30do you want me to admit?
28:31Ethan looked
28:31completely incredulous.
28:32Nora, you still haven't
28:33realized your mistake?
28:34I was about to argue back
28:35when a round little figure
28:36suddenly rushed toward Ethan.
28:37My mommy did nothing wrong.
28:39My mommy is the most
28:40right person in the world.
28:44When he thought
28:45I was being bullied,
28:46his first reaction
28:46was to rush forward
28:47and protect me,
28:48to defend me.
28:49My heart softened completely.
28:51I hugged Leo tightly.
28:52Kid, she is just
28:53your family's nanny.
28:55She is not your mother.
28:57You're the nanny.
28:58Your whole family
28:59are nannies.
29:00Nora is my mommy.
29:01My favorite mommy.
29:02Nora, will you be my mommy?
29:04I promise I'll listen
29:05to you from now on.
29:07He looked at me nervously.
29:08I nodded.
29:08Leo, I'm already your mommy.
29:10My eyes turning wet.
29:11Leo pouted
29:12and hugged me even tighter.
29:13Ethan suddenly laughed
29:14strangely.
29:14I understand.
29:16Nora, did you trick the child
29:17into calling you mommy?
29:18Are you trying to use this child
29:19to climb up the social ladder?
29:20Nora, let me tell you,
29:21Adrian's famous
29:22in Arthur Kirkul
29:22as a cultless and heartless.
29:24If he finds out
29:24you schemed against him,
29:25he will never let you off.
29:27Before I could speak,
29:28a warm hand suddenly
29:29landed on my waist.
29:30He pulled me closer
29:30into his arms.
29:31Mr. Reed,
29:32last time,
29:32you slandered my wife.
29:34That was why I ended
29:35my cooperation with Reed Medical.
29:36But since Mr. Reed
29:37came here today
29:38and upset my wife,
29:40I think there's no need
29:41for me to explain anymore.
29:43Mr. Blackwell,
29:44what do you mean?
29:44Wife?
29:45Who is your wife?
29:46Mr. Reed,
29:47do you still not understand?
29:48Or do you only believe
29:49what you want to believe?
29:51Nora is my wife.
29:53She is also my child's mother.
29:55Ethan's body swayed.
29:56Whitman,
29:56see him out.
29:57If any random people
29:58come to harass my wife again,
30:00inform me immediately
30:01and call the police.
30:02After saying that,
30:03he took Leo from my arms,
30:04but his other arms still held me
30:05as he led me back
30:06into the house.
30:10Once we returned home,
30:11I immediately pulled myself
30:12out of Adrian's arms.
30:12Then I took Leo's hand
30:13and went back to my room.
30:14Leo,
30:15where did you go today?
30:16I didn't see you all day.
30:18Don't even mention it.
30:19My dad sent me to preschool.
30:21Huh?
30:21I was confused.
30:22Why did he suddenly
30:22send you to preschool?
30:23Because Daddy said
30:24he couldn't let you work too hard.
30:26He was afraid you'd get tired.
30:27He also said
30:28I needed to give you two
30:29some time alone.
30:30Why would he want
30:31to give us time alone?
30:32Daddy said he wants
30:33to build a relationship with you.
30:34That way,
30:35you won't leave us behind.
30:36I felt everything
30:37was extremely strange.
30:39As soon as Leo
30:39finished speaking,
30:40Adrian appeared at the door.
30:43Leo,
30:43go downstairs for dinner.
30:44Don't disturb Mommy's rest.
30:47Mommy,
30:48I'm going to eat now.
30:49I'll come keep you puppy later.
30:51Hearing the word mommy
30:52again still made me
30:53feel very embarrassed.
30:54After Leo left,
30:55Adrian walked into my room
30:56with his long legs.
30:57His voice was gentle.
30:58Are you feeling better?
30:59He was still wearing
31:00that black turtleneck.
31:01Mr. Blackwood,
31:01thank you for standing up for me,
31:03but please don't affect
31:03your business judgment
31:04because of me.
31:05It's not worth it.
31:06Adrian gave a low laugh.
31:07How is it not worth it?
31:08I mean,
31:09I'm not worth you doing that.
31:10Nora,
31:11I told you,
31:12we are husband and wife.
31:13Protecting you
31:14is my responsibility.
31:15But I hesitated.
31:16Don't mention being a couple
31:17only in public again,
31:18Nora.
31:18I want to be a real husband
31:19and wife with you now.
31:20I did not expect Adrian
31:21to be so direct.
31:22I'll give you time to adjust.
31:23For now,
31:24I told you,
31:25I want to claim
31:26a small benefit
31:26as your husband.
31:29Before I could react,
31:30he had already leaned over me.
31:36Adrian's long,
31:36warm hand brushed
31:37across my face.
31:38With restraint,
31:39he pressed a kiss
31:39on my forehead.
31:40I was so nervous
31:41I did not dare breathe.
31:42My face became even hotter.
31:44Adrian smiled and asked,
31:45Is this level acceptable?
31:48I slowly nodded,
31:49then turned my face away awkwardly.
31:51Nora,
31:52there's no rush.
31:52We'll take it slowly.
31:53We have plenty of time.
31:54After saying that,
31:55he tucked the blanket around me
31:56and left the room.
31:58The next day,
31:58Leo was sent to preschool again,
31:59very unwillingly.
32:01Adrian wore a proper,
32:02casual outfit.
32:03Would you like to watch
32:03a movie with me?
32:04After what happened last night,
32:05I thought about it.
32:06We were already legally married.
32:07If we could really develop feelings,
32:08that did not seem bad.
32:09I changed into a dress
32:10and got into his car.
32:13Adrian chose a European romance film.
32:14It was very bold.
32:18From time to time,
32:18the sound of couples kissing
32:19came from beside us.
32:22Adrian leaned closer to me.
32:23Nora, may I?
32:25I closed my eyes and nodded.
32:26His mint-scented kiss
32:27landed on my lips.
32:28At first,
32:29it was only a light touch,
32:30then the kiss gradually deepened,
32:31stealing all my breath.
32:36I did not know how long it took
32:38before he finally stopped.
32:39Then he actually asked me,
32:40Was that level acceptable?
32:42Adrian,
32:43I didn't know you were this bad.
32:44He caught my hand.
32:45I have no experience.
32:46I was afraid of scaring you.
32:48Who are you lying to?
32:49If you have no experience,
32:51did Leo jump out of a rock?
32:52Adrian answered vaguely.
32:53Then he kissed me again.
32:54I was afraid of scaring you.
