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