My fiancé ignored me for three years. I announced my wedding, and he didn’t know he wasn’t the groom

my fiance of 3 years had been giving me the cold shoulder at a high society banquet he publicly proposed to his first love later I posted an announcement online brimming with sweetness getting married soon that same night he called me Wallace I never said I was marrying you I chuckled lightly and replied I never said the groom was you shortly after a set of photos went viral shocking the city the man who held immense power in this town had his arms open letting me fall into his Embrace he even lowered his head willingly allowing me

to kiss him as I finished putting on my dress and stood up the makeup artist couldn't help but gasp Miss Wallace you look stunning in that gown I softly thanked her as I stepped out I noticed a commotion downstairs through the Grand golden revolving doors came my fiance of three years sirel arm in- arm with a young and beautiful woman even more ridiculous was that her dress was identical to mine tonight was an unprecedented Grand Event in decades the guests all standing at the Apex of society were sharp eyed and Discerning it took only a

glance for them to notice that my dress was merely a cheap imitation in my 21 years this was the first time I had dressed up so elegantly only to play the role of a lavishly dressed clown sirel who is this lady beside you someone asked sirel clasped the woman's hand and replied this is my girlfriend Stacy after tonight she'll be my fiance and Miss Wallace the person pressed sirel turned to me coldly and said our engagement has been analed for the past 3 years my family has already been more than generous to yours he wasn't

wrong without the billion- dooll betrothal gift at the time of our engagement my family's company would have gone bankrupt long ago could my parents siblings and I still enjoy our current luxurious lives sirel knelt on one knee pulled out a diamond ring and proposed to Stacy she burst into tears and threw herself into his arms he gently wiped her tears comforting and kissing her I watched as Stacy was surrounded by socialites who eagerly fawned over her after tonight she would no longer be an obscure actress or a mistress scorned by society and I Wallace would

likely lose my place in this city and even in my family could you move aside a voice came from behind me I turned around to see two social light girls holding dessert plates looking at me impatiently I stepped aside her dress looks so cheap yeah who knows what kind of material was used might even cause an allergic reaction and she still has the nerve to stand here how embarrassing expressionless I walked toward a corner seating area pretending not to hear their malicious remarks my phone buzzed and I answered my mother's angry voice came through Wallace

if the engagement is off we have to to return 5 million you're such a failure for not holding on to a man's heart for 3 years find a way to pay it yourself don't expect me to help I stared at the disconnected call my chest tightening painfully the dazzling lights and glamorous outfits around me felt worlds away all I wanted was to escape I heard Mr Eggbert returned yesterday and will attend tonight's banquet that's unlikely Mr Eggbert rarely shows up at events like this pressing my aching chest I opened my bag to look for medicine

the sound of my rumaging startled the two who had been speaking their conversation stopped and their footsteps gradually receded the pain in my chest turned into spasms and the corset of my gown felt suffocating I fumbled with the hidden clasps trying to breathe but my newly done Nails beautiful yet useless made it impossible to undo the clasps gasping for air my hair disheveled I collapsed onto the deck my lips had turned a sickly gray white nearby the banquet was in full swing my ex fiance and his beloved were likely dancing sweetly while I might silently

die here on this quiet deck sir are you going in now Eggbert didn't respond taking the cigarette case handed to him by his assistant he lit a cigarette after dipping its tip in a fine spice powder I'll finish the cigarette first he said walking toward the deck railing the group around him tactfully left knowing not to disturb him as he smoked he noticed a frail figure not far away he was about to turn away but stopped at the sound of a dull thud on the deck turning back he saw someone collapsed under the dim Moonlight

a sight both helpless and strangely alluring my face was probably ghostly pale by then under the faint Moonlight I must have looked twisted and unrecognizable but seeing the Stranger in front of me felt like grabbing onto a Lifeline I clutched his sleeve tightly using all my remaining strength to pull his hand to my chest Breathing heavily my heart rate erratic I could barely speak he glanced at me and seemed to understand my condition kneeling he firmly grasped my wrist and asked calmly where's the zipper on your dress I couldn't respond struggling instead to guide his

hand to my chest his brows furrowed slightly as he removed my hand and looked at my dress's neckline with DEA fingers he unded the intricate row of clasps relief washed over me as the constriction around my chest disappeared and I greedily inhaled the fresh air I'd completely forgotten that beneath my dress I wore only adhesive petals over my chest now with the front of my gown undone I had been entirely exposed it wasn't until a man's jacket still warm draped over me that I snapped back to reality biting my lip I looked up and whispered

thank you can you stand I nodded clutching the jacket with one hand and steadying myself on the railing with the other should I contact your family or a friend for you I shook my head hastily no I'll be fine after resting for a bit his phone suddenly rang I saw him step aside to take the call I told you I'll handle the marriage Arrangements myself don't worry I won't let Grandpa leave this world with regrets he seemed slightly irritable lighting another cigarette the glow from the cigarette illuminated his Sharp features and a thought struck me

I had seen him somewhere before as he hung up and turned back toward me our eyes met I quickly averted my gaze noticing my discomfort with the cigarette smoke he extinguished it and gestured toward the jacket just hand the jacket to a staff member later my face flushed as I nodded and whispered okay his gaze lingered on my hands clutching his jacket inside my gown was undone with only the adhesive petals shielding my skin an intimacy no one else could perceive hung in the air feeling self-conscious I hunched slightly just as he was about to

leave I softly called out I just heard your phone earlier can I make a deal with you I gathered the courage to lift my eyes to look at him maybe he needs a wife someone trouble-free who can disappear at any time and I need 50 million to buy my pitiful Freedom a deal what kind of deal would miss Wallace like to make with me I was so nervous I didn't even notice he knew my name do you need a wife I mustered all my courage and stared at him steadily I won't cause you any trouble

I'll do my best to cooperate of course and when you don't need me I won't be a bother he looked at me under the Moonlight wearing a silver gray shirt and dark trousers his lean but tall body wrapped in them his brows were soft but his jawline was sharp I noticed the watch on his wrist it probably cost as much as the luxurious cruise ship I was on what's your condition I froze for a moment feeling embarrassed and spoke slowly I need 50 million for what I lowered my lashes unable to meet his gaze but

in front of a stranger it almost felt like I could show my helplessness and awkwardness without reservation my fiance wants to break off the engagement and demands half the money back 50 million I can't come up with it break off the engagement he suddenly turned to look at me his eyes sharp as a blade yes break off the engagement I gave a light laugh and looked up at him the seab breeze tousled my long hair and I stared blankly into the deep night I have no way out sir I accept the deal but I have

one condition I looked up at him in disbelief sir marry me within 3 days th that soon you heard my phone call earlier my grandfather's not in good health and he's eager to attend my wedding he raised an eyebrow looking at me is that inconvenient I quickly shook my head no it's fine then it settled the seab breeze grew stronger and my hair was blown messily against my face suddenly he stepped closer brushing the Stray strands of hair from my face and tucking them behind my ear in 2 days I'll send someone to pick you

up but how do you know where I am he didn't answer and when his hand withdrew it almost seemed like his fingertip had grazed my face but maybe it was just my imagination he left and I was left in a strange days as if stuck in a dream until a Tipsy seral suddenly came over and grabbed my wrist Wallace I've been waiting for you to Bow your head and beg me for the past 3 years as long as you're willing to soften up like those women forget a 100 million I'll give you a billion you're

drunk sirel I pushed him away with all my strength but a drunk man was hard to shake off he stared at me with bloodshot eyes then looked at my suit whose suit are you wearing it's none of your business sirel none of my business his handsome face Twisted in Anger I'll see who dares touch my woman he grabbed the suit I was wearing yanking at it I tried to hold on but it was feudal the Sea Breeze blew fiercely and under the Moonlight my body was exposed Wallace sirel murmured dazed the next second a shrill

female voice rang out Wallace you have no shame oh my God how could she seduce someone else's fiance sir's eyes are all over her Stacy look at her tricks I snapped back to reality flustered trying to cover my chest but Stacy had already rushed at me crying and raising her hand to slap me what's going on here a deep male voice suddenly spoke calming the scene Stacy froze and the next moment sirel pulled her aside I quickly stepped back raising my arms to cover my chest in panic everyone turned to look and someone gasped it's

Mr Eggbert I widened my eyes and looked toward the back of the crowd it was the man who helped me untie my corset on the deck the man I had boldly asked to be my husband and to give me 50 million and now it turned out to be the famous Mr Eggbert Eggbert glanced at me once and then looked away he turned to his secretary and said something and she immediately walked over to me helping me put the sup jacket back on Miss Wallace let me take you downstairs to rest I stiffly nodded and thanked

her as she helped me leave I couldn't help but glan back the crowd had quietly dispersed standing still and respectfully Mr Eggbert this is a misunderstanding sirel so bring out up carefully tried to explain a misunderstanding Eggbert's voice remained calm showing no signs of anger I paused standing at the corner the secretary didn't hurry me patiently waiting sirk's voice trembled Stacy is my girlfriend she must have misunderstood and acted out Eggbert's gaze turned sharp a hint of displeasure in his eyes I don't believe there's such a poorly mannered woman in today's high society sirel was

awkward and Stacy was on the verge of tears Eggbert turned to his subordinate take this lady off the ship sirel Stacy sobbed clutching his sleeve unwilling to let go she had been in the entertainment industry for years and knew how serious this was being kicked off the ship like this would make her the laughing stock and there would be no chance for her to recover her reputation sir she knows she was wrong please give her another chance Eggbert glanced at him and differently you can leave with her sirel fell silent and pulled his hand away

Stacy was soon escorted off the ship the crowd on the deck quietly dispersed no one expected this scene to end in such a way Mr Eggbert the voice of the secretary suddenly snapped me back to reality I looked up in Surprise and Eggbert was walking toward me he waved the secretary away and asked gently did I scare you I shook my head still in a days no no I'll take you back to rest first Eggbert said reaching out and lightly grasping my wrist is that okay I was so disoriented I nodded absent as he led

me forward after taking a couple of steps I suddenly felt a chill at my chest in that moment the nude colored petal-shaped breast pad fell out from under the Hem of my suit egg bird turned around and his gaze followed the pad I was so embarrassed I almost wished the ground would swallow me up but he calmly bent down picked it up folded it neatly and placed it in his pocket before soothing me in a gentle voice it's ruined so you can't use it again I'll have someone bring you clean clothes later my face burned

and I mumbled a small mm in response letun go Eggbert took my hand again the hallway wasn't long and we quickly reached the restroom he let me inside and left to take care of something I sat there in silence for a while gradually calming down but once I did I realized something Eggbert had called me Miss Wallace at the beginning he knew my name knew who I was the secretary soon arrived with new clothes after I took a shower and changed I folded egg Bird's suit jacket and put it in a bag I planned to

dry clean it and return it to him the sir asked me to bring you down Miss Wallace if you want to return the secretary in her 30s or 40s was very competent please let him know I'll dry clean the clothes first it's no trouble leave it to me she said with a smile taking the bag I handed it to her and casually asked how did he know my name the secretary just smiled slightly That's A Private Matter of the S when I got off the ship I received a text from an unknown number Eggbert save

my number I stared at the message for a while before softly typing a reply okay I've saved it I'll pick you up in 2 days rest well for the next couple of days he didn't send any more messages when I got back to my parents house it was already very late but no one was asleep the lights were on but the atmosphere was tense and heavy as soon as I walked in my mother immediately stood up Wallace have you thought about what you're going to do how did you upset sirel why is he so angry

he wants to break off the engagement you know our family depends on his company for business and survival 50 million where are we supposed to get that now are you trying to kill us everyone was blaming me blaming me for not being able to hold on to sel's heart for not being able to marry into the family smoothly so they could keep feeding off of us but when they pushed me the sickly little daughter out just because they were worried about the health of the eldest daughter did they ever ask me if I was willing

when I I took the 100 million from sir's family to fill the Gap and maintain the extravagant lifestyle did I ever enjoy a single bit of it now they want to break the engagement and yet I'm the one who has to Bear the 50 million fine I'll bear it but after that I won't be part of this family anymore you should say something my sister-in-law stood up and lightly pushed me with an annoyed look I thought of a way to get the 50 million really you've got a solution I saw my mother's eyes brighten immediately

but it might damage our reputation what do you mean by that I smiled faintly at tonight's banquet I met a wealthy foreign businessman after hearing about my situation he's willing to pay the 50 million but he has a wife and kids so I can only be his mistress I really had no other choice but to agree but once that happens when we appear together our relationship will no longer be a secret how could you do something so Shameless yeah if you become his mistress we'll be the laughing stock at every party then what do you

suggest we do should we sell some of our properties to get the 50 million for sirel for a moment no one responded and it was completely silent my father who had been silent up until now suddenly spoke the 50 million must be paid we can't lose face as a family I purposely smeared then why don't you just own me as your daughter my sister-in-law holding her pregnant belly muttered under her breath at least you know your place all right then my father finally made a decision they would announce publicly that they were severing ties with

me but it would just be a formality I would still be their daughter but I knew this was just a way of plating me once the 50 million was paid off I would be kicked out immediately but what they didn't know was that this was exactly what I wanted the next morning at 9:00 a.m. I got a call from Eggbert check your messages the money should have come through I quickly opened the message and sure enough the money had been deposited 10 minutes ago I've received it go take care of the analment today I'll have

the driver pick you up Eggbert can I ask you a favor sure can you please not let anyone know about our marriage for now I didn't want those greedy vultures to attach themselves to Eggbert causing unnecessary trouble for him you don't want anyone to know it's not that just for now is that okay all right I'll arrange for someone else to pick you up once the 50 million was returned to sirel and my parents announced the severing of ties if Eggbert wanted to make our marriage public or keep it hidden I would fully cooperate with

him at that point because they had disowned me first they wouldn't be able to cause any trouble for Eggbert no matter what after transferring the money to s 's account I took a photo of the payment receipt when sirel called I saw the statement from my family announcing they had cut ties with me I stared at the few lines of text reading them over and over again then I took a picture and carefully saved it sir's voice sounded hoarse where did you get the money 50 million isn't a small sum your parents couldn't come up

with it who gave it to you be clear that's none of your business once you get the money we'll have no more ties I was about to hang up but then sirel suddenly called my name Wallace do you think I care about the 50 million whatever your reason is it's none of my concern Wallace you should know that if I don't let go no man will dare to marry you I chuckled softly into the phone is that so if you don't believe it you can always try I didn't want to waste any more time with

him so I hung up just as the call ended it rang again I was about to block the number but saw the name on the screen Eggbert your family is really cutting ties with you how do you know I was surprised he seemed to know everything Wallace hm if it's hard for you you don't have to hold it in I honestly didn't want to cry I really didn't but since I was little I'd gotten used to it so used to it that I was numb I'm not not upset but when someone cares about you you're

always a little more vulnerable so when I spoke my voice was already filled with tears you can cry in front of me after all starting tomorrow I'll be your husband I couldn't hold back my tears but before becoming your wife I've arranged another identity for you what identity I spoke in a small timid voice Eggbert was silent for half a minute before saying so my current identity is a 60-year-old Rich foreign businessman and you're my mistress are you mad he seemed to let out a small sigh on the other end of the line I'll see

you tomorrow do you still want to marry me I could clearly tell he wasn't too happy just now rest well today wear your prettiest dress tomorrow Eggbert must have made arrangements ahead of time so the whole marriage registration process went smoothly and quickly after we got the marriage certificate eggart took me to the hospital he kept holding my hand and we looked very affectionate his grandfather was seriously ill and could barely smile at me but seemed pleased I felt a bit uncomfortable inside having to deceive an elderly man who was about to die he must

have loved his grandson dearly hoping for a peaceful marriage but he didn't know I wasn't really Eggbert's wife after leaving the hospital Eggbert had an important meeting so he had the driver take me home to get my luggage the driver was a veteran someone who had watched Eggbert grow up he was old now his hair and beard all white but still sharp and energetic when my family saw him get out of the car and open the door for me they all assumed he was my sugar daddy because they looked down on my mistress status no

one even bothered to talk to me I carried my suitcase downstairs only my father said a few words to me this is just temporary Youk stay Elsewhere for a while once things die down we'll bring you back I purposely asked pitifully how long will I have to wait it depends on the situation then the things you promised should still count don't worry when I dragged my suitcase out I could clearly feel the relief in their expressions the driver took me to Eggbert's private residence the house wasn't too big but it was peaceful and Serene there

were no Maids or servants which made me feel more at ease ma'am the sir has instructed that you can make yourself at home he'll be back tonight but at 8:00 p.m. I received a call from Eggbert he had to go back to the mainland for a very important meeting and wouldn't be back until a week later if you get bored go out with friends go shopping or have some tea don't stay cooped up at home all day I'll stay at my little apartment for a few days it's close to Central and everything is convenient there

I'll come pick you up when I get back all right on the third day of Eggbert's business trip I received a call from a volunteer I had worked with before she invited me to a small Charity Auction in The High Society Circle the theme this time caught my interest it was a fundraising event for children with congenital heart disease when I arrived I saw quite a few familiar faces among them was Stacy she was still dressed up elegantly but she clearly looked unwell it seemed that being kicked off the boat that day had affected her

more than I had imagined Stacy saw me too but all she did was smear and then talk to the people next to her is it true what they're saying she's turned into a mistress of course it's true her parents disowned her because she was such an embarrassment didn't you see the news I heard her sugar daddy is almost 80 he could be her grandfather oh my God how could they invite someone like her to a charity event yeah we shouldn't participate with someone like her letun ask her to leave the atmosphere started to get tense

and the hostess who had invited me looked extremely embarrassed maybe you should come back another time I didn't want to make her uncomfortable so I stood up to leave but as I reached the door I ran into sirel Wallace I didn't respond and kept walking sirel grabbed my wrist are you here to see me I pulled my hand away no I just heard heard about your situation today sirel blocked my path again Wallace you should return the money why I couldn't help but scoff wasn't that what you wanted 50 million Wallace sel's Face darkened I

told you just admit you're wrong once how should I admit it I pushed him away again should I kneel before you like a dog and thank you for your kindness it was laughable no one knew that beneath sel's polished image he was the type who loved to humiliate people with his money and power my life wasn't worth much but I wasn't about to let him degrade me like that you're ruined now you should think about the consequences of your actions sirel changed the subject at such a young age being someone's mistress it's my choice Wallace

I'm giving you a chance to back down is that so I don't need it I walked past him and kept heading for the door sirk's voice came from behind me low and threatening I'm only giving you one chance think carefully and come find me when you're sure I didn't look back but that night I got a call from my landlord he demanded that I move out immediately I didn't argue with him just packed my things and went downstairs to my surprise when I reached the bottom I saw Eggbert's car the driver got out and took

my suitcase ma'am Mr Eggbert sent me to pick you up Eggbert he's back HEK be back early tomorrow morning my eyes suddenly stung with tears has he finished all his work we had agreed on a week but it was only the fourth day Mr Eggbert is worried about you he didn't want you to feel wronged I'm fine really his work is important don't let me delay him as I sat in the car I felt a strange mix of emotions I couldn't put into words it felt like being abandoned by the whole world only to suddenly

inherit a fortune Beyond imagination when we arrived at Eggbert's place I had just returned to my room when his call came through Wallace Eggbert's voice had a trace of fatigue in it I felt deeply ashamed to escape my family's control I had deliberately tarnished my reputation he worked so hard yet I still managed to cause him more trouble if I had stayed quietly at his house none this would have happened Eggbert I'm sorry Eggbert sounded a bit helpless I'm not blaming you let's talk more when you come back tomorrow after the call ended I saw

I had a new follower on Instagram it was Egbert his IG only had one post uploaded 3 days ago a photo of our marriage certificate I couldn't see the comments but I did see two replies to friends yes we're married let me introduce my wife Wallace that night I posted something on my Ig just four simple words getting married soon many people commented some friends even called me when I answered the phone it was sirk's voice so have you made up your mind I said I'd give you one chance but I never said I'd marry

you I couldn't help but laugh lightly I never said the groom was you you're going to marry that old man Wallace you've really sunk this low willing to become a mistress to a married man I hung up and blocked him immediately that night my mind was filled with so many thoughts I couldn't sleep I only managed to fall asleep when the sky was starting to lighten I didn't even realize when Eggbert came home when I finally opened my eyes I saw a figure coming out of the bathroom I almost screamed my heart nearly leaping out

of my chest it's me Wallace don't be scared I pressed my hand to my wildly beating heart still pale eggbird held me in his arms gently stroking my back slow your breathing don't worry relax it's okay Wallace I rested my head on his chest slowly calming down once I was calm I suddenly realized I was only wearing a silk night gown and Eggbert had just finished showering with his upper body bear and just wearing sleep pants I'm fine now I muttered my face turning bright red and gently pulled away from his embrace face sorry if

I scared you Eggbert fixed my messy hair why did you sleep so long I had a bit of insomnia last night I felt uneasy my sleep wear was so thin and I didn't wear a bra when I slept earlier I had been tightly held in his arms with only the flimsy fabric between us my face felt like it was burning I grabbed the blanket trying to cover myself but it felt like I was drawing even more attention just when I didn't know what to do Eggbert gently helped me lie back down sleep a little longer

it's almost noon anyway how about we just have lunch he naturally tucked the blanket around me I'll go to the study I'll come get you when it's time as I watched him leave I sighed in relief letting out a quiet breath the daytime was fine as he mostly spent his time working in the study but at 9:00 p.m. when he came back to the master bedroom he showed no intention of leaving honest L I had thought about fulfilling my marital duties after the wedding after all I had promised him that I would cooperate with all

his needs I watched Eggbert come out of the bathroom after hesitating for a long while I gently asked are you sleeping here tonight Egbert glanced at me without saying a word I felt confused wondering if perhaps Egbert just Meed a wife in name only maybe I was overthinking things I grabbed a pillow and got out of bed tentatively speaking should I sleep in the the guest room then he still didn't answer I turned and started walking towards the door holding the pillow but after a few steps I was suddenly embraced from behind didn't you say

you would cooperate fully with my needs Eggbert my back was pressed against his firm chest I could feel his heart beating rapidly and his body heat seemed to rise making me dizzy Eggbert lowered his head his fingers gently brushing aside the strands of hair at the back of my neck Wallace you're my wife now I leaned into his Embrace gently closing my eyes I melted into his arms as he Lifted Me and placed me on the soft bed when he kissed me my fingers tightened around his arm my heart was racing so fast it felt

like I couldn't breathe the kiss became fragmented tell me if anything's wrong edbert touched my flushed face and after my heartbeat calmed a bit he continued there were several times when I honestly felt like I was about to suffocate but Eggbert always knew when to stop and hold back I could feel his muscles tensing beneath his skin subtly trembling sweat from his forehead fell sizzling as it landed on my chest his heartbeat was as frantic as mine and his breathing was short and quick I was in pain but he seemed to be suffering more than

I was his voice was horar as he leaned down to Kiss My Face are you feeling better I shook my head then nodded but my eyes were already hazy and my hands had unkown knowingly gripped his neck it was like I was resisting yet at the same time it felt like I was giving in desire flickered in his eyes for a brief moment I even had the illusion that Eggbert might actually like me he leaned down again his movements more forceful at the very end I lost Consciousness for about 2 seconds but it didn't hurt

like it had when I was Ill instead I felt as if I were floating on a cloud surrounded by Soft gentle clouds until Eggbert woke me up one is anything wrong I shook my head again but gently reached out to hold his waist a woman when it comes to her first man seems to have an inherent sense of dependence egg bird wrapped me in his arms rest for a bit then we'll take a shower he said his fingers resting over my chest is your heart okay fine I thought about the pauses in between unable to

help myself I asked Softly Eggbert are you feeling okay he cued my face and kissed me his voice low if you keep asking you'll really make me uncomfortable no more okay no more he didn't let go of me though I just want to kiss you I stopped speaking and obediently let him kiss me in my muddled thoughts I couldn't help but wonder when he called me one one it felt so affectionate but a man like him serious and self-disciplined would probably only ever say that in bed I never got the chance to verify my suspicion

because the next morning Eggbert was out the door early again I knew he was extremely busy given his position there were countless matters to take care of so I stayed at home trying not to add to his troubles although I didn't leave the house the days were quiet and peaceful it was the first time I felt the beauty of time slowing down at the age of 21 I didn't have to worry about being sold off like a commodity by my family I didn't have to be sad because of my parents biases I didn't have to

think about anything just doing things that made me happy I even picked up the piano again after years of neglect bought an online painting course and started learning oil painting a week passed in this peaceful stay-at-home routine one afternoon Eggbert suddenly called and said there was a banquet that evening that I should attend he had already prepared the dress and jewelry and a team of stylists would be coming to the soon are you going tonight I'll come find you after I finish what's the banquet for is it a must attend it's a charity fundraising dinner

for children with congenital heart disease I thought you'd want to go I was touched the last charity event I couldn't attend because of the Scandal spread by Stacy was also for children with heart disease Eggbert still remembered that because I had a congenital heart problem I've always cared deeply about such causes I remember even after getting engaged to sirel I still went to volunteer every month visiting sick or disabled children at the welfare home but sirel once mocked me you're good at the game of seeking fame but he didn't know I wasn't doing it for

recognition I just wanted to help more children like me because I knew the pain firsthand Eggbert of course I want to go but if you come tonight our situation will no longer be hidden I wanted to ask if this would cause him any trouble or harm his reputation you're the one who wanted to keep it lowkey from the start not me Eggbert I gripped the phone a little confused I don't understand why why did he agree to this why had he never considered hiding our marriage why was it me I'll answer you when I get

home tonight when I arrived at the banquet I naturally Drew numerous curious stairs but what confused me slightly was since Eggbert was attending such a prestigious charity event the standard of the event must have been high sirel could attend but no one from my family would be there yet there was sirel and there was my family when I walked in they were gathered around sirel chatting warmly my older sister Sylvia looked at sirel with shy and burning eyes Wallace how dare you show your face here Sylvia spoke in Surprise and my mother immediately came over

her face Stern don't you know what kind of event this is you've come to embarrass us what will others think of us I looked at the elegant and poised woman before me my heart already cold weren't we already cut off so I have no relationship with you anymore everyone knows you're my daughter then what do you suggest we do Wallace leave now have your man take you abroad or back to his country didn't dad promise that I could come back after things settled she looked at me like I was crazy are you dreaming we've already

disowned you really of course it's true so legally and in terms of Family Ties I have no relationship with any of you fine I turned and looked around I'm sure everyone has heard what she said Wallace you'd better leave quickly why c a scene and make a fool of yourself Sylvia Fain gentleness sir's here don't make a joke out of it at this moment sirel finally spoke up Wallace didn't you say you were getting married sirel that old man is married with kids and has Mistresses all over the world there's no way he'd really marry

her so your IG post the other day was fake just as I was about to respond sirel stepped forward and grabbed my arm I'm asking you again before I could say anything the ballroom suddenly fell silent Mr Eggbert has arrived why would he come to such a small Gathering how would I know but tonight is a real treat to meet the real Mr Eggbert why is he heading this way oh my God Mr Eggbert is staring in this direction is he looking at Sylvia hearing these comments Sylvia's face quickly turned bright red my mother also

couldn't hide her Joy I turned to look at Egbert he was still in his black business suit looking as serious and unapproachable as ever at this moment I couldn't help but feel a little dazed the man I had only seen on TV and in the papers now he was my husband he had kissed me countless times called me one onean and treated me with so much tenderness like an incredibly loving husband Wallace Eggbert spoke this was the first time he called my name in front of so many people Sylvia's smile froze awkwardly my mother looked

stunned sirel was even more surprised I shook off his hand my eyes red with grievance Eggbert he walked through the crowd and directly approached me your dress is beautiful today your makeup is also perfect you look stunning I felt like crying and laughing at the same time as tears were about to fall Eggbert in front of everyone pulled me into his arms all right I'm just a few minutes late and people start bullying you when he said the word bullying his gaze swept indifferently over the crowd my mother's face turned pale and Sylvia instinctively hid

behind her Eggbert's gaze finally landed on sirel what were you talking about with my wife the word wife in Eggbert's sentence felt like a bomb the crowd which had been silent just moments ago instantly erupted in Whispers sirel seemed to still be in disbelief and asked wife yes Wallace is my wife Eggbert's wife as soon as edbert finished speaking my mother seemed to snap out of her trance she quickly walked up to me and affectionately grabbed my arm why didn't you tell me about this great news I pushed her hand away I'm no longer your

daughter she froze for a moment before hastily saying there's no grudge between a mother and daughter we just misunderstood we can clear this up I shook my head there's nothing to talk about I have no ties to you or your family legally or morally she broke into a cold sweat and looked desperately at Eggbert Mr Eggbert we had some misunderstandings with her she says whatever she says Eggbert wrapped his arm around me his voice cold if she says she has no connection to you then there's no connection as far as I know your company hasn't

donated a single scent to charity in the past 10 years upon hearing this my mother's face went Ashen and she stiffly tried to argue but couldn't say a word so you've never donated a penny then why does the Jang family push so hard to attend charity G every time to fish for fame how Shameless she had no face left to stay and quickly fled with syia Eggbert wrapped his arm around me letun go home you haven't donated to the children yet I reminded him softly Eggbert lowered his head and kissed me the secretary is handling

it Eggbert my heart I don't think I can take it much longer the dimly lit room spun as I felt dizzy the famar sensation of Suffocation hit me and I gripped his arm turning my face to breathe deeply edbert bent down pressing his forehead against mine baby I could feel how hard this was for him but my body was betraying me Eggbert maybe you should marry a healthy wife Wallace Eggbert's gaze was unusually serious there's no shortage of healthy women in this world but with my condition what's wrong with you he pushed my damp hair

away from my forehead Wallace to me you're the best Eggbert if your health isn't good we'll take our time to nurture you to treat you if it can't be treated here we'll go abroad but what if it still can't be treated Eggbert bent down and kissed me gently then I'll practice abstinence and focus on self-discipline as the New Year approached Eggbert finally had some free time he took me abroad to see what was said to be the best heart surgeon I was nervous during the checkup Eggbert habitually helped me adjust my hair don't be nervous

I'll be right here waiting for you after all the detailed unprofessional checks the elderly doctor with all white hair looked at me with some pity I've looked at your report you're one of the less severe cases of congenital heart disease if you had undergone surgery as a child you would have already recovered by now I looked at the doctor in disbelief shaking my head doctor are you sure my family always told me that my condition was untreatable they took me to many hospitals but the diagnosis was always the same later I refused to go to

any more hospitals I couldn't stand being told again and again that I was going to die they told me that as long as I spent money on Special Care I'd survive and grow up and it was all thanks to them when Eggbert hugged me I realized that I had been crying silently they lied to me didn't they why did they lie to me why did they treat me like that if they didn't want to treat me why did they even bother having me why did they deceive me for all these years Wallace don't think about

these things anymore you can get better that's the most important thing do you understand I just don't get it Eggbert hugged me tighter then don't think about those meaningless things letun look forward don't look back when spring came Eggbert came to pick me up to go home by then I had been discharged from the hospital and my body was recovering well a few days ago his grandfather's condition worsened and he had to go to the hospital overnight it wasn't until the day before yesterday when his grandfather's condition stabilized that he was able to relax we

hadn't seen each other for a full half month Eggbert got out of the car but didn't come toward me we had made a promise earlier when we met again I would run to him like every healthy girl he opened his arms I lifted my skirt and ran down the stairs through the lush green garden light as a feather running in the spring Breeze for the first time in 21 years I ran like this even the slightly chilly spring wind felt warm I rushed into his arms without a second thought I tilted my head up to

kiss him but today I was wearing flat shoes and he was just too tall I had to stand on my tiptoes but he lowered his head meeting me halfway for the kiss it's been nearly a year since I married Eggbert but that night it was the first time I saw him let go and indulge himself he kissed the scar on my chest the mark left by the surgery still clear a little ugly I didn't want him to see it so I raised my hand to cover it but Eggbert wouldn't let me is it very ugly

as beautiful as that night so You' been eyeing me from the start no even earlier than you think when was that did you see me before Wallace are you sure you want to reminisce with your husband at a time like this Eggbert locked my hands and leaned down again Eggbert I feel dizzy I can't breathe I used the same trick again he didn't believe me of course but he still paused when things got the most intense my heart raced but it didn't hurt and twist like it used to what surged inside me was just the

Unstoppable tide of emotion I wrapped my arms around him gently biting his chin Eggbert you don't have to worry about my body anymore from now on you can do whatever you want I've seen Eggbert serious and composed in meetings I've seen him lead multinational conferences at the office speaking several languages fluently and confidently but at home he has a more easygoing and relaxed side even the servants at home sometimes joke around with him but the moment he stops smiling everyone around him instantly Falls silent like they're frozen in place and right now in his eyes

there was a clear desire a powerful possessiveness he allowed himself to give into passion and together we fell into the Whirlwind of desire in Endless pleasure he seemed to be even more indulgent more devoted than I was before I never understood why someone so close to me would treat me this way but now I understood all the hardships and grievances of these past years were just to bring me back to Eggbert Eggbert are you this was was the first time I asked and before I could finish it was as though eggart already knew what I

was about to ask his kiss landed on my ear his warm wet fingers entangled tightly with mine I heard his voice horar and deep stirring Wallace I love you and
