On Saturday morning, because of that one “hubby“, Adrian accidentally knocked over two water glasses. By the third time, I finally couldn’t
hold back.
“If you don’t like it, I won’t call you that anymore in the future.”
“I do like it!”
Good, this time he denied it faster than anyone.
At the dining table, the housekeeper brought today’s breakfast.
I met the housekeeper’s gaze. The moment our eyes met, she instinctively avoided it.
“Mrs. Wood, how long have you been working in this house?”
“Almost ten years. I used to work at the old mansion, but came here after the master married you.”

The old mansion was where Adrian’s parents lived. Adrian’s parents were very kind to me, possibly also due to Adrian’s condition.
They knew about Adrian’s obsessive disorder, that once he was set on something, he wouldn’t let go.
“Your work at the old mansion must have been good. Since that’s the case, why don’t you go back to work there?”
As soon as I finished speaking, the plate in the housekeeper’s hand suddenly shattered on the ground.
Adrian frowned and glanced at her, his tone flat.
“I’ll have the butler give you a severance package later. You can go back.”
Adrian doted on me a lot. As long as it wasn’t about leaving, he would fulfill almost all of my requests without even asking why.
The housekeeper’s eyes filled with tears as she cried and asked me why.
“Mrs. Wood, what’s your relationship with Rachel?”
Hearing Rachel’s name, both Adrian and the housekeeper’s bodies stiffened.
Adrian was extremely disgusted by Rachel and didn’t allow any contact between us. In the past, I had blamed Adrian for restricting my social circle.
Now I know, it’s better to listen to advice and stay out of trouble.
The housekeeper trembled and said she didn’t know this person.
“Really? But I just heard that you’re her aunt. Why did you all hide this from me?”
In the newly appeared memories, Rachel had arranged for her aunt to work in the Gu family early on.
She had her eye on Adrian for a long time, but never expected that I would end up marrying him instead.
So the housekeeper came to take care of my food and daily life, secretly putting drugs that affected my mental state in my meals.
This caused my mental state to deteriorate, making me anxious all the time. Rachel then naturally blamed all of this on Adrian.
The housekeeper was taken away. Our son looked at us in confusion while Adrian lowered his head in thought beside me.
“Lucas, go play games upstairs after you finish eating!”
Our son nodded and went upstairs immediately after finishing his meal, leaving just the two of us at the dining table.
I suddenly felt a chill on my neck. Adrian had brushed aside my long hair, revealing the love bites he had left last night.
Seeing the marks, he smiled with satisfaction, scanning my face with an inquiring gaze.
“What do you want to do?”
I had anticipated that Adrian would be suspicious of my sudden change of heart.
“If you want a divorce, I won’t agree. I won’t accept these sugar–coated bullets.”
He gripped my neck and suddenly leaned in close, his tone dangerous.
“Don’t think about leaving my side, darling. You know what I’m capable of. I can’t guarantee your friends will be safe if you leave!”
“Adrian, whether you believe it or not, I intend to start over properly with you. We were both wrong in the past, but since we’re married, why don’t we just be together properly? What do you think?”
