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