Short filmTranscript
00:00The night I left my marriage with nothing, I wandered the streets of New York alone.
00:04A small ad on the side of the road caught my eye.
00:10Room and board included, that's what got me.
00:13That same night, I dragged my suitcase to the address on the ad.
00:16I walked straight into the mansion of Nathan Sterling, the richest man in New York.
00:22Mr. Sterling is looking for a mother for his child.
00:26Not a wife for himself, I need you to be very clear on that.
00:28Mr. Sterling is an exceptional man, don't get any ideas.
00:33I kept my head slightly down, eyes forward.
00:36Honestly, this job was perfect for me.
00:38To put it simply, they just needed a high-end nanny.
00:41I had only gotten divorced that morning.
00:43Remarriage? Couldn't be further from my mind.
00:45I nodded respectfully.
00:46I understand I won't get any ideas.
00:49You have my word.
00:51But taking care of a kid and having a roof was a lifeline for me.
00:54George gave a curt nod and led me to the dining room.
00:56At a massive long table, a young father and his son were locked in a silent battle.
01:02He man sat there holding a bowl and a spoon, his expression dark.
01:06Just one bite.
01:07Luca.
01:08One tiny bite.
01:10Can you do that for me?
01:14Sir, another applicant is here.
01:16This one seems honest.
01:18That face, I'd seen it on the cover of Forbes before.
01:22Unfairly handsome.
01:23The kind of face you don't forget.
01:25What's your name?
01:26Claire Bennett.
01:28Give it a try.
01:33So this was the job interview.
01:35I had to nail this.
01:37If I could stay, at least I wouldn't be sleeping on the street tonight.
01:40I put on what I hoped was a warm, motherly smile and walked toward the boy.
01:51No!
01:52Make her leave!
01:53I don't want her!
01:54They're all bad women!
01:57So before me, this kid had already been through who knows how many stepmoms.
02:02Relax, I'm not here to feed you.
02:03I'm feeding Spider-Man.
02:04You're fine.
02:05Eat more.
02:06You need to be full to save the world.
02:07Kids who don't eat are too weak.
02:09Can't even protect themselves.
02:11Let alone own all of humanity.
02:14Oh, you want the potatoes?
02:15The boy lay there looking dejected.
02:17Potatoes give you strength.
02:18But I pretended not to see.
02:20Not until his nose turned red and his eyes got watery did I act like I just spotted him.
02:24There's a baby Spider-Man here too?
02:27Peter Parker.
02:28Can you share some of your food with him?
02:30He needs to eat so he can grow up big and strong like you.
02:34Sure.
02:37Well, since Spider-Man said so,
02:39I guess you can have a little, but don't eat too much, okay?
02:43If you get stronger than him, he'll be sad.
02:58That night I stayed in the villa.
03:00Luca and I were on the second floor.
03:02Nathan Sterling had the third floor to himself.
03:06You are never to go up to the third floor.
03:09A woman once snuck up to climb into Mr. Sterling's bed in the middle of the night
03:12and was thrown out the window.
03:16I won't.
03:17I promise.
03:18Luca was only four, but he could already sleep in his own room.
03:22That made my work a lot easier.
03:28Claire, let's talk.
03:30Sure, Mr. Sterling.
03:32You're good with kids.
03:34Have you had any of your own?
03:36No, but I helped look after my ex-husband's sister's kids for two years.
03:41Back then, my ex's family thought I didn't make enough money,
03:44so they made me quit my job.
03:45After I quit, they said I was lazy and had nothing to do.
03:48So they fired the sister's nanny and made me take over.
03:53You're divorced, why?
03:55We came from different worlds.
04:00You know, I need to find a mother for Luca.
04:02He has no sense of security.
04:04He won't leave the house, won't go to preschool.
04:06I'm busy with work, so I need someone patient to be his mother.
04:10I'll have you sign a prenup.
04:12Everything stays separate.
04:14I understand.
04:17Rich people are all like this.
04:19My first marriage was for love.
04:21But because the gap between our families was too big,
04:24I signed a prenup too.
04:25So when the love ran out and we divorced,
04:27I had nothing left.
04:28Not even my wedding ring.
04:29Let alone someone like Nathan, a man at the very top.
04:32Of course he'd be careful about marriage.
04:34Honestly, I'd be happy just having a place to stay.
04:37We don't have to make it official.
04:38The marriage is for Luca.
04:39I want him to have a long-term mother.
04:41And marriage is the strongest contract there is.
04:43Then we'll do it your way.
04:45Don't worry.
04:46I'll give you $50,000 a month for personal spending.
04:51Mr. Sterling, can I ask,
04:53if we divorce someday,
04:55can I keep the money you've given me?
04:57Of course.
04:57That money is yours.
04:59Okay then.
05:01I don't have any needs in our sex life right now,
05:03so you'll stay on the second floor.
05:05Okay, I don't either.
05:06Just like that,
05:07three days after my divorce,
05:08I was married again.
05:10Same as the first time,
05:11no wedding.
05:14Take this.
05:17No need.
05:18For Luca.
05:20Oh, okay.
05:21Thank you for your ring.
05:30What's wrong?
05:31Claire,
05:32Claire,
05:33can you read me a bedtime story?
05:35I'll get my dad to pay you more,
05:37but if you don't want to,
05:38that's fine.
05:39Come here.
05:43That night,
05:44Luca fell asleep in my bed after his book.
05:47The next morning,
05:48when Nathan heard,
05:49he was genuinely surprised.
05:50Claire,
05:51thank you.
05:52I'll add $10,000 a month.
05:54Mr. Sterling,
05:55that's way too much.
05:57It really was.
05:58In my last marriage,
06:00I did so much more than this.
06:01During the day,
06:02I watched my ex's sister's kids.
06:04At night,
06:05I cooked for my ex,
06:06satisfying his needs in bed,
06:08then got up in the middle of the night
06:09to clean the house.
06:14It's not like we can't afford a maid.
06:16But Claire just sitting all day doing nothing,
06:18that doesn't seem right.
06:20Even after all that,
06:21when we divorced,
06:22they said I'd been living the good life for three years.
06:25And they sent me out with nothing.
06:29Mr. Sterling,
06:30that's too much.
06:32This is just what I should be doing.
06:33As I said this,
06:34Luca came over and grabbed my right hand.
06:36The women came before you
06:37only cared about pleasing me,
06:39ignoring Luca's feelings.
06:40The extra $10,000 is settled.
06:43Thank you, Mr. Sterling.
06:45From that day on,
06:46Luca was glued to me.
06:48Nathan was busy,
06:49so most of the time,
06:50it was just the two of us at home.
06:52I tried my best to play with him
06:53and made him happy every day.
06:55When he got scared,
06:56I held him tightly
06:57and comforted him gently.
06:58But he still didn't want to leave the villa
07:00until the day I needed to go to the hospital
07:02for a follow-up.
07:04Wait for me at home?
07:05I'll be back soon.
07:07He grabbed my hand and wouldn't let go.
07:09He didn't say anything.
07:11Just looked up at me with those big, sad eyes.
07:16He's afraid you'll leave and not come back.
07:18Look, I'm not leaving.
07:21I'll be back after my appointment
07:22and then we'll read together.
07:23You play by yourself for a little while.
07:31Luca, you want to go to the hospital with Claire?
07:37My God!
07:38He is finally willing to leave the house!
07:43Your condition has improved a lot.
07:45Keep relaxing.
07:47Claire, are you sick?
07:49Yeah.
07:49I used to skip meals a lot so I got sick.
07:52Don't ever be like me, okay?
07:53Does it hurt?
07:54I can give you candy.
07:57Daddy told me eating candy can forget the pain.
08:00My tears fell unexpectedly.
08:02In three years at my ex's house,
08:04every time I cried,
08:05they called me dramatic.
08:06Said a girl from a poor family
08:07wasn't cut out for their lifestyle.
08:08When I told them I had depression,
08:10my ex Ryan said I was faking it,
08:12making trouble on purpose.
08:13Even the nephew I'd taken care of
08:15for over two years
08:15cursed at me during the divorce.
08:17But this cold-faced little boy
08:18was willing to share his favorite candy
08:20just to make me feel better.
08:21Claire, I'll eat all my food.
08:23When I grow up, I'll protect you.
08:28Then you better grow up fast.
08:31Mr. Sterling, why are you here?
08:37George told me Luca went out with you.
08:39I was worried, so I came to check.
08:42Daddy, as long as I'm with Claire,
08:44you don't have to worry.
08:47I know.
08:49Mr. Sterling, I don't need it.
08:50Claire, if there's anything you want,
08:51just ask.
08:52Could you help me find a used car?
08:54About 8,000?
08:56It'll be easier for me to go out.
08:58Take any car from my garage.
09:00The cheapest one in your garage
09:01is over $200,000.
09:03I wouldn't dare drive it.
09:05Fine.
09:06The next morning,
09:07an old beat-up car parked
09:08next to Nathan's luxury cars.
09:09He also brought in
09:10a world-famous psychiatrist
09:11to the house.
09:12The diagnosis was the same
09:13as the hospital's.
09:14But the medication was all different.
09:16Those were all ones
09:16I couldn't afford before.
09:18Mr. Sterling,
09:18your wife needs family around her.
09:20Don't put too much pressure on her.
09:22I'll remember that.
09:24The next day,
09:25I drove Luca out to play.
09:27He used to have no sense of security.
09:29He'd barely been anywhere.
09:30Now,
09:30I wanted to show him the world.
09:32We went to the amusement park first,
09:34then the farmer's market.
09:36Claire!
09:37I don't want to hold this!
09:39But my hands are so full.
09:41Can you help me?
09:42Fine.
09:43Just this once.
09:45Don't buy fish next time.
09:52Claire?
09:53It was Ryan.
09:54My ex-husband,
09:56Ryan and I got together in college.
09:57After we graduated,
09:59he married me against his family's wishes.
10:01At our wedding,
10:02Ryan swore he'd protect me for life.
10:04But later,
10:05after he took over the family business,
10:07he started feeling like
10:08I wasn't adding anything to his career.
10:09He started finding fault with everything.
10:11He wanted me to quit my job
10:13to take care of his family,
10:14his sister's children,
10:15and to be subservient to his family.
10:17I put up with all of it
10:18because I love him.
10:19I never got much love growing up either.
10:21This was just more of the same
10:23in a different house.
10:24Until the day I walked in on Ryan
10:26at some fancy club,
10:27his arms around a flashy woman,
10:28kissing her.
10:29I couldn't hold it together anymore.
10:33I cried.
10:34I made scenes.
10:35I begged him to swear
10:36he'd never do it again.
10:38What successful man doesn't do this?
10:41You're like this because I spoiled you.
10:42From that day on,
10:43we went cold.
10:44He stopped coming home.
10:46Locked me on everything.
10:47My condition got worse.
10:49The doctor warned me
10:50to avoid any more stress.
10:52With nothing left to care about,
10:53I filed for divorce.
10:55Ryan thought I wanted
10:55to use the marriage to threaten him.
10:57His family all told him
10:58not to give in,
10:59or I'd just push harder next time.
11:01He had his lawyer
11:01draft a divorce agreement on the spot,
11:03demanding I leave with nothing.
11:05I signed it without hesitation.
11:06Four years together.
11:08Three years married.
11:09Done.
11:20Claire, you're a Stanford graduate,
11:21and you're working as nanny?
11:23What are you thinking?
11:26None of your business.
11:27Claire, don't you understand?
11:29The day we married,
11:30you stopped being just you.
11:31You represented the Mitchell name.
11:33Ryan, we're divorced.
11:34I have nothing to do
11:35with your family anymore.
11:39Claire, after divorce,
11:41you're my ex-wife.
11:42When people talk about you,
11:44my name comes up.
11:45Can you stop embarrassing me?
11:46Can't you think before you act?
11:47Stop acting impulsively all the time.
11:57Claire, you've suffered a lot
11:58these past few days, haven't you?
11:59Missed being a rich man's wife yet?
12:01If you admit you were wrong
12:02and really change,
12:03I might consider taking you back.
12:04Those women meant nothing.
12:06I haven't considered anyone else
12:07for the position of my wife.
12:09It's still yours.
12:10As long as you fix that attitude,
12:11apologize to my family, I'll...
12:13Keep it.
12:13Give that precious position
12:15to someone else.
12:16I don't want it.
12:20I had blocked everyone
12:21in Ryan's family,
12:22except this kid.
12:23I didn't think a child
12:24should be blamed.
12:25It was the adults
12:25around him were wrong.
12:27Besides, after two years
12:28of taking care of him,
12:29I felt we had a bond.
12:30Hey, Tyler.
12:32No, sir!
12:32My mom wants to talk to you!
12:36Claire, Ryan tells you
12:37you're working at the nanny now?
12:38You're slapping Ryan in the face.
12:40Slapping the whole Mitchell family
12:41in the face.
12:42What are people going to say
12:43about us?
12:44Claire, don't blame me
12:45for looking down on you.
12:47You really are as low class
12:48as ever.
12:49Always have been.
12:53I pulled over to the side
12:54of the road.
12:55I couldn't hold it in anymore.
12:57I collapsed onto the steering wheel
12:58and sobbed.
12:59Claire, here.
13:00Bite your face.
13:03I'm sorry.
13:04Did I scare you?
13:07George had told me
13:08again and again,
13:09Luca couldn't handle stress.
13:11Claire, I'm not scared.
13:12You can cry.
13:14Take your time.
13:15I'll wait.
13:16It's not shameful
13:17for adults to cry.
13:18I won't laugh at you.
13:21Thank you, little gentleman
13:22done crying.
13:23No more tears from now on.
13:27Let's go home.
13:34Claire, can I come in?
13:37Come in.
13:49The clothes in the closet,
13:51I've never seen you wear
13:51any of them.
13:52They're too expensive.
13:53I'm not used to that.
13:55My last marriage
13:55taught me something.
13:56If it's not your world,
13:58don't force your way in.
13:59Because when they kick you out,
14:00it's ugly.
14:01Sure, Nathan and I
14:02had a marriage certificate.
14:03But deep down,
14:05I was just a high-class nanny.
14:06What nanny wears designer dresses?
14:10Is it the style?
14:12If you don't like them,
14:13I'll have a designer
14:14come to your house
14:14to make some for you.
14:15No, no.
14:17Mr. Sterling,
14:18all I do is look after Luca.
14:20I don't have anywhere
14:21to wear clothes like that.
14:23Really, I don't need them.
14:24I heard you ran into
14:25your ex-husband today.
14:26He's a Mitchell.
14:27The medical equipment Mitchells.
14:29Yes.
14:30But that's all in the past.
14:32He could tell I didn't
14:33want to talk about it.
14:34So he changed the subject.
14:35Claire.
14:36Since you came here,
14:37Luca's been so much happier.
14:40You pay me more than enough.
14:41It's just my job.
14:42Claire,
14:43if you ever need anything,
14:44just ask.
14:46I can fulfill it.
14:47Mr. Sterling,
14:48I really don't need anything.
14:50Nathan went quiet for a moment.
14:52His fingers tightened briefly,
14:54then he nodded and left.
14:57Lately Nathan had been coming home early.
14:59Every night he'd eat dinner with me and Luca,
15:01even play games with us sometimes.
15:03The richest guy in New York,
15:05suddenly so free?
15:06Was he going bankrupt?
15:08I didn't care about it.
15:09I cared about losing my $60,000 a month.
15:12Mr. Sterling,
15:13why are you coming home so early?
15:15If you're busy,
15:16just go.
15:17Luca has me.
15:20The doctor said you need family around you.
15:23Luca and I are your family now.
15:25We have to step up.
15:27Family?
15:28Us?
15:29But I didn't dare say that out loud.
15:31Honestly,
15:31Luca's enough.
15:32The doctor said I'm doing better,
15:33and it's mostly because of him.
15:38Come on,
15:39let's go read.
15:43Daddy still has work to do.
15:51Claire.
15:53Yeah?
15:59Tomorrow night I have a dinner event.
16:01I need a female companion.
16:02Would you come with me?
16:04Me?
16:05Yes, you.
16:06It's short notice.
16:07Finding someone else would be difficult.
16:08I'll pay you for it.
16:10I just don't really know how to act.
16:12Will I embarrass you?
16:13Ryan never took me to things like that.
16:15You're so petty.
16:16Don't go out and embarrass yourself.
16:20Just stay by my side.
16:21Don't worry about anything else.
16:26Nathan came home from work to pick me up.
16:28The moment he saw me,
16:30something flashed in his eyes.
16:34Daddy,
16:34isn't Claire so pretty?
16:37People lined up to talk to Nathan.
16:39The conversation naturally turned to me.
16:41Mr. Sterling,
16:42who's this beautiful lady?
16:47I'm Mr. Sterling's friend.
16:50My wife, Claire.
16:52Everyone started gushing compliments.
16:54My face burned all the way down to my neck.
16:56So awkward.
16:58You look absolutely stunning tonight.
17:03I tensed up.
17:04No, that's not it.
17:05You mistook it.
17:06I was just afraid of embarrassing you.
17:09Claire.
17:11Claire,
17:12only weak men feel embarrassed by their wives.
17:17I'm gonna go grab a drink.
17:20I didn't expect to see Ryan there.
17:22He was alone.
17:31Claire,
17:32really you?
17:33I almost didn't recognize you.
17:35I've never seen you look this good.
17:36I'm honestly shocked.
17:38Claire,
17:39my sister calling you that day,
17:40that wasn't my idea.
17:42I only agreed to divorce
17:43because you were being stubborn.
17:44I wanted to teach you a little lesson.
17:46I never actually planned to let you go.
17:48Claire,
17:49if you just apologize to my mom and my sister,
17:52I'll agree to remarry you.
17:53Things have been rough with the business lately.
17:55I'm swamped.
17:56So just be a good girl
17:57and stop making things hard for me.
17:59Okay?
17:59Ryan,
18:00since we're divorced,
18:01I never looked back.
18:03Even if I have to sleep on the streets,
18:05I'll never go back to your home.
18:08Claire,
18:09you still don't see it.
18:10Still so stubborn.
18:11Guess you haven't suffered enough yet.
18:13When you finally realize your problem,
18:14come find me.
18:18Claire,
18:18we'll talk later.
18:19I need to speak with someone important.
18:20Don't get in my way.
18:23Mr. Sterling,
18:24I'm Ryan Mitchell
18:25from Mitchell Medical.
18:27About your decision
18:27to stop using our equipment,
18:28I'd like a chance to discuss it.
18:31We've had a great partnership
18:32these past five years.
18:33You suddenly cut us off.
18:35Was there something we did wrong?
18:36Whatever it is,
18:37just say the word.
18:38We'll fix it.
18:43Claire,
18:44what do you think?
18:45Should I give him another chance?
18:48Claire?
18:49Mr. Sterling,
18:50you don't know.
18:51Claire is my ex-wife.
18:52I have no idea
18:53how she got in here tonight.
18:54She's probably trying
18:55to run into me on purpose,
18:56so I'll take her back.
18:57She's just a housewife.
18:59Don't take her seriously.
19:00Claire,
19:01you decide.
19:01I'll go with whatever you say.
19:03Mr. Mitchell
19:04just told me
19:04not to get in the way
19:05of his business.
19:06So,
19:07I'll keep my opinion to myself.
19:09Men's business.
19:10Of course you have no opinion.
19:12Typical.
19:12Low-class background.
19:14Can't keep up
19:14in polite society.
19:18Claire doesn't want
19:18to weigh in.
19:19I'd say that means
19:20Mitchell Medical
19:20doesn't impress her.
19:22Mr. Mitchell,
19:22I'm afraid there's
19:23nothing I can do.
19:32Mr. Mitchell,
19:33did you offend
19:34Mrs. Sterling?
19:35Bad move, man.
19:37She's the only woman
19:38who's ever been seen
19:38with him
19:39in all these years.
19:41Mrs. Sterling?
19:42That's impossible.
19:43She was just a nanny
19:43in my house.
19:44Does she really think
19:45wearing an expensive dress
19:46she can impersonate
19:47the esteemed Mrs. Sterling?
19:51That night,
19:52Nathan bid on artwork
19:53worth tens of millions
19:54of dollars,
19:55all in my name,
19:55for charity.
19:56Mrs. Sterling,
19:57we're hosting a tea party
19:58next week.
19:59Would you do us
19:59the honor of attending?
20:01Mrs. Sterling,
20:01my husband wants
20:02to work with Sterling Group.
20:04Could you maybe
20:04put in a good word?
20:05I'd never been
20:06in a situation like this.
20:07I was so scared
20:08of embarrassing Nathan
20:09that I kept drinking.
20:11Sorry,
20:12my wife can't drink much.
20:13I'll drink on her behalf.
20:21I glanced out the window
20:22without thinking
20:23and caught Ryan staring.
20:24His lips curled
20:25into a mocking smirk.
20:30Mr. Sterling,
20:31thank you for tonight.
20:32For having my back.
20:36Claire,
20:37you're my wife.
20:38You don't need to thank me.
20:39We're only on paper.
20:40Or you didn't have
20:41to do any of that.
20:42But you did,
20:43and I appreciate it.
20:47Claire,
20:48what if I don't want
20:49it to be just on paper?
20:50Hmm?
20:51He leaned toward me,
20:53slowly.
20:54The one in his eyes.
20:55He wasn't even
20:55trying to hide it.
20:59Mr. Sterling,
21:00you've had too much
21:00to drink.
21:03Sorry.
21:03You're right.
21:04I have.
21:09Claire,
21:10you're back.
21:14That night,
21:15after I put Luca to sleep,
21:16I pulled out my phone
21:17and started looking
21:18at job listings.
21:19Ryan was right
21:20about one thing.
21:21I had a good education.
21:22I should be building a career,
21:24not just being a nanny.
21:25My last marriage
21:26taught me that much.
21:27A woman needs
21:28something of her own.
21:30Otherwise,
21:30the day a man
21:31doesn't need you anymore,
21:32all you can do
21:33is wait to be thrown away.
21:34Right now,
21:35Luca needed me.
21:36So I could stay.
21:38But what about
21:38the day he didn't?
21:39Had to read it twice.
21:41This thing was always
21:42done by the staff.
21:43And Nathan had warned me
21:44from day one,
21:45never go to the third floor.
21:47This thing was always
21:47done by the staff.
21:49I went downstairs
21:50and made him
21:50a cup of coffee.
21:51If I actually went up,
21:53would he fire me?
21:54Or was he holding a grudge
21:56because I turned him down
21:57in the car tonight?
21:58Was this some kind of test?
22:01Mr. Sterling,
22:03your coffee is ready.
22:04Could you come down
22:05and get it?
22:05Bring it up for me,
22:06please.
22:12Come in.
22:16I had no choice
22:17but to push open the door.
22:18My gaze met Nathan's.
22:20He must have just showered.
22:21He was only wearing
22:22a black bathrobe,
22:23the belt loosely tied,
22:24revealing a large expanse
22:25of his well-defined
22:25pectoral muscles.
22:26Water droplets
22:27were dripping from his hair.
22:28I hurriedly lowered my head,
22:30unable to look any longer.
22:31Nathan took the coffee,
22:33his fingertips brushing
22:34against my fingers.
22:35I nervously stepped back.
22:37Nathan asked in a low voice,
22:38So afraid of me?
22:40Claire,
22:40am I some kind of monster?
22:42Claire,
22:43from now on
22:44you can come
22:45into my room anytime.
22:46The next morning,
22:47I woke up feeling
22:48a little dizzy
22:48and my throat was sore.
22:50It was probably
22:50from drinking last night
22:51and not sleeping well.
22:52I had caught a cold.
22:53I didn't expect
22:54that Nathan was also there
22:55when I came downstairs.
22:56He was sitting comfortably
22:57on the sofa
22:58reading a financial newspaper.
22:59Most surprisingly,
23:00he was wearing
23:01a black turtleneck sweater
23:02and frameless glasses.
23:03Good morning.
23:04I tried to greet him,
23:05but couldn't help coughing.
23:06Nathan put down the newspaper,
23:08his voice low.
23:09Got a cold?
23:10Nathan walked over a few steps.
23:12Maybe a little.
23:13Raised his hand
23:14and placed it on my forehead,
23:15the movement natural and fluid.
23:17Not serious.
23:19I should be fine
23:20after taking some medicine.
23:22Sit down and rest.
23:23I'll get you some water.
23:24I couldn't help but wonder
23:26what Luca's mother was like.
23:27To be worthy of such
23:28a wonderful man.
23:31After taking my medicine,
23:33worried about disturbing
23:33Nathan's work,
23:34I went back to my bedroom.
23:36I slept for a while,
23:37then was groggily woken
23:38by a phone call
23:38from an unknown number.
23:40As soon as I answered,
23:41Ryan's voice came through.
23:42Claire, it's me.
23:43Claire, don't hang up on me.
23:44I am right outside
23:44the Sterling's villa.
23:45If you don't want to cause
23:46trouble for Nathan,
23:47come out and see me right now.
23:50Claire, haven't you
23:51caused enough trouble?
23:53The Mitchell's wife?
23:54Working as a nanny
23:55for someone else.
23:56You don't feel ashamed,
23:57but I do.
23:58Ryan, I'm not causing trouble.
24:00Claire, stop pretending.
24:01You're going too far.
24:03You dressed up some last night
24:04and sneak in tow to the Yankway
24:05and just to make me
24:06regret it, Rue.
24:07Okay, I admit.
24:08I did regret it
24:09after you, Lathan.
24:09Now, I'm giving you
24:10a chance to come back.
24:12As long as you admit
24:12your mistakes.
24:13Bow your toe,
24:14do my ma apology
24:15and my mess.
24:15I will do a different year.
24:16You'll never have to be
24:17a servant again.
24:19Ryan, I did nothing wrong.
24:21What mistakes
24:21do you want me to admit?
24:23Claire, you still haven't realized
24:24your mistakes?
24:26Looks like you haven't
24:26suffered enough.
24:27Just as I was about
24:28to retort,
24:29a round figure suddenly
24:30rushed towards Ryan.
24:31It was Luka,
24:32who had just returned
24:33from outside.
24:34He headbutted Ryan,
24:35his eyes wide with anger.
24:37My mom is not wrong.
24:39My mom is the best
24:40in the world.
24:43After saying that,
24:44he obediently hugged my leg
24:46and stood close to me.
24:47Ryan and I were both stunned.
24:49He actually called me mom
24:50when he thought
24:50I was being bullied.
24:51His first reaction
24:52was to rush forward
24:53to protect me
24:54and defend me.
24:54Ryan was jolted
24:55by the impact
24:56and it took him
24:57a while to recover.
24:58My heart softened
24:58and I hugged Luka tightly.
25:00What did you call her?
25:01Isn't she your nanny?
25:03You're the nanny!
25:04Your whole family
25:05are nannies!
25:06Claire is my mom!
25:08My beloved mom!
25:09Claire,
25:10will you be my mom?
25:12I promise I'll listen
25:13to you from now on.
25:15I nodded,
25:15my eyes moist.
25:16Luka,
25:17I am your mom.
25:19Oh,
25:19I understand.
25:20Did you lie to him?
25:21Are you trying
25:21to use the child
25:22to climb the social ladder?
25:23Nathan is cold
25:24and ruthless.
25:25If he finds out
25:26you schemed against him,
25:27he'll never forgive you.
25:29Before I could speak,
25:30a warm hand
25:30suddenly landed on my waist.
25:32Mr. Mitchell,
25:33because you slandered
25:34my wife last time,
25:35I withdrew my cooperation
25:36with Mitchell Medical.
25:38I originally want
25:38to find an opportunity
25:39to explain
25:40to the other hospitals
25:41this was just
25:41a personal matter
25:42between you and me
25:43and that I shouldn't
25:44affect your cooperation.
25:45But you came to my home
25:46today and angered my wife.
25:48I think I probably
25:49don't need to explain anymore.
25:52Ryan froze on the spot.
25:54Mr. Sterling,
25:55what do you mean?
25:56Wife?
25:57Who's your wife?
25:58Nathan tucked
25:59a strand of my hair
26:00behind my ear
26:00and looked at Ryan again.
26:02Mr. Mitchell,
26:03don't you understand?
26:04Claire is my wife,
26:06my son's mother.
26:07Ryan swayed,
26:08about to fall.
26:09George,
26:09see him out.
26:11If anyone comes
26:11to bother Claire,
26:13tell me immediately
26:14and call the police.
26:15He then took
26:15Luca from my arms,
26:16his other arm around me
26:17as he led me home.
26:18Back home,
26:19I immediately
26:20and awkwardly
26:20pulled away
26:21from Nathan's embrace.
26:22I took Luca's hand
26:23and went back to my room.
26:24Luca,
26:25where did you go all day?
26:26I haven't seen you at all.
26:28Luca pouted,
26:29looking aggrieved.
26:30Dad took me
26:31to kindergarten.
26:33Why?
26:34Dad said he doesn't
26:35want you to work too hard.
26:36He's worried
26:37you'll get tired.
26:38He also wants me
26:39to give you two
26:39some time alone.
26:40Why do you want
26:41to give us
26:41some time alone?
26:43Dad said he wants
26:44to build a bond with you
26:45so you won't abandon us.
26:47Just as Luca finished speaking,
26:49Nathan stood in the doorway.
26:50Luca,
26:51come downstairs for dinner.
26:53Don't disturb mom's rest.
26:55Hearing mom again
26:55still made me feel
26:56incredibly embarrassed.
26:57Luca kissed me
26:58on the forehead.
26:59Mom,
26:59I'm going to eat now.
27:01I'll come back
27:01to play with you later.
27:04After Luca left,
27:06Nathan strode into my room.
27:07Feeling better?
27:08He asked gently.
27:09He was still wearing
27:10that black turtleneck sweater,
27:12sitting down opposite me.
27:13I quickly turned my head away.
27:15Mr. Sterling,
27:15thank you for standing up
27:16for me.
27:17But please don't let me
27:18affect your business decisions.
27:20It's not worth it.
27:21Nathan chuckled.
27:23How is it not worth it?
27:26I mean,
27:26I'm not worth you
27:27doing this.
27:29Claire,
27:30I've said it before.
27:31We're couple.
27:33Protecting you
27:33is my responsibility.
27:35But-
27:36Let's not talk about
27:37being a couple
27:38in name only.
27:39Claire,
27:40I want to be
27:41your real husband now.
27:42My face flushed instantly.
27:44Nathan smiled again.
27:46I'll give you time.
27:47But I want to ask
27:48for some benefits
27:49as a husband now.
27:51Before I could react,
27:52his body was already
27:53pressed against mine.
27:54Nathan's long,
27:55warm hand stroked my face.
27:57He restrainedly placed
27:57a kiss on my forehead.
27:59I was so nervous
27:59I dared not breathe,
28:01my face burning even hotter.
28:02Is this okay?
28:04Claire,
28:05no rush.
28:06We'll take it slow.
28:07We have plenty of time.
28:12Next day,
28:13Nathan invited me
28:14to see a movie.
28:15After last night,
28:16I thought about it.
28:17We're already married,
28:18so if we can really
28:19develop feelings
28:20for each other,
28:20that would be great.
28:21Nathan chose
28:22a foreign romantic film,
28:23quite explicit.
28:24A cacophony of kissing sounds
28:26filled the air.
28:27Nathan moved closer,
28:28his deep gaze meeting mine.
28:30Claire,
28:31is it okay?
28:31His lips touched mine.
28:33At first,
28:33it was a light,
28:34lingering touch.
28:35Then it deepened,
28:37stealing my breath.
28:37I don't know
28:38how long it lasted
28:39before he stopped.
28:40Is this okay?
28:42I angrily punched his chest.
28:44Nathan,
28:45I didn't expect you
28:46to be so bad.
28:48I'm experienced.
28:49I was afraid
28:50of scaring you.
28:51Liar.
28:52You're inexperienced?
28:54Did Luca spring
28:55from a rock?
28:57Hmm,
28:57Nathan mumbled
28:58and kissed me again.
29:01That night,
29:02I had just put Luca
29:02to sleep when Nathan
29:03called again,
29:04asking me to bring him coffee.
29:05I had barely knocked
29:06on this door
29:07when a large hand
29:07pulled me inside.
29:08A deluge of kisses
29:09immediately followed.
29:11Nathan smelled wonderful,
29:12fresh,
29:13and warm,
29:14intoxicating.
29:15Claire,
29:15I don't want to take it slow.
29:16I want to speed things up.
29:18Is that okay?
29:19If you don't say anything,
29:20I'll take that as a yes.
29:21Claire,
29:21I fell in love with you
29:22the first time I saw you.
29:23Claire,
29:23pick a wedding planning company.
29:26I want to give you
29:27a grand wedding.
29:27No need.
29:30Yes,
29:30I want the whole world
29:31to know that Claire
29:32Claire is my wife
29:33and I am her husband.
29:35I only regret
29:36not giving you
29:36the very best
29:37when we first met.
29:40Our wedding was
29:41grand and lavish.
29:42I complained that
29:43Nathan was being
29:43too flamboyant.
29:45Mr. Sterling
29:46is always low-key.
29:47This is the first time
29:48he's been so extravagant.
29:49Just indulge him this once.
29:51On the night
29:51of the wedding,
29:52I received a call
29:53from an unknown number.
29:54Nathan reached out
29:55and hung up the phone,
29:56then slammed his hips together.
29:58Mrs. Sterling,
29:59focus.
30:04Claire,
30:05I'll tell you a secret.
30:06Actually,
30:07Luca isn't my biological son.
30:08He's my sister's orphan.
30:10When Nathan was
30:11in middle school,
30:12his parents died
30:13in an accident
30:13and his sister
30:14raised him alone.
30:15Later,
30:16his sister married
30:17and had Luca.
30:18But a car accident
30:19took the lives
30:19of his sister
30:20and brother-in-law.
30:21Nathan then registered
30:22Luca under his own name.
30:23I originally planned
30:24to grow old with Luca,
30:25but Claire,
30:26you came along
30:27and suddenly
30:27my life changed.
30:29So,
30:29I'm really your first?
30:31Nathan blushed
30:32and nodded gently.
30:35That day,
30:36I left the hospital.
30:37Luca asked nervously,
30:39Mommy,
30:40are you sick?
30:42No,
30:43Mommy has a little baby.
30:44Yay,
30:45I finally have
30:46a little sister.
30:47What if it's
30:48a little brother
30:49in Mommy's tummy?
30:50If it's a little brother,
30:51I'll throw him in the trash.
30:52If it's a little sister,
30:54she'll play with me.
30:55Just as I was about
30:56to walk to the parking lot,
30:57a man in tattered clothes
30:58stopped me.
30:59Claire?
31:00I was startled.
31:01I exclaimed in surprise.
31:03Ryan?
31:04What happened to you?
31:06Claire,
31:07please help me.
31:08Only you can help me.
31:10Now the whole world
31:11knows Nathan loves you
31:12and cherishes you.
31:13Please beg him for me.
31:14He'll listen to you.
31:15Initially,
31:15Nathan stopped cooperating
31:16with Mitchell Medical.
31:18Unexpectedly,
31:19a fatal accident occurred.
31:20His sister and her family
31:22absconded
31:22with all the money abroad.
31:24Mitchell Medical
31:24went bankrupt.
31:25Looking at the destitute Ryan now,
31:27I felt no pity for him at all.
31:29Ryan,
31:29all lives are equal.
31:30It was your mistake
31:31that caused the accident
31:32and you should pay the price.
31:34No one can help you.
31:37Claire,
31:37let's go home.
31:40Get up.
31:41y'all can help you.
31:44Baby is welcome.
