Chapter 2

"Take good care of the child and stop making a fuss. Know your place. Don't worry. There's still room for a nanny in my home."

As soon as Levi finished speaking, the people around us immediately burst into malicious laughter.

"Selina, look how kind Levi is to you. He's afraid that you'll suffer outside and has even arranged food and accommodation for you.”

"Isn't it much better for you to just help Rosalie take care of her son than continue with your current pathetic life? Hurry up and thank Levi.”

Rosalie touched her earrings and said in a pretentious manner, "Selina, don't worry. If my son is naughty and disobedient, I'll teach him a lesson for you. You won't be taken advantage of."

Levi snorted and glanced at me. "How would she be? She vanished over a trivial matter and now she has come back because she's hit rock bottom. It's only right for her to suffer a bit."

My heart skipped a beat when I heard this. Even now, he still thought that getting married to Rosalie was just a trivial matter. It turned out that the Levi who once loved me was gone.

He was no longer the boy who carried the injured me across half the city, even if he was covered in wounds, nor was he the young man who had loudly declared his love for me and promised me everything.

He was also not the man who had achieved success and fame but was still willing to cook for me.

However, it was all in the past. It was not necessary to bring that up.

After all, I was going to have my second child soon.

I suppressed my thoughts, refusing to argue with them here as it was pointless. I looked at Levi and said calmly, "Aren't you here to pick me up? Let's go."

It was quiet for a moment as they exchanged glances before bursting into laughter.

Rosalie scoffed and said coldly, "Waiting for you? Who do you think you are?"

She pointed to the sign. "Look carefully. We're waiting for Mrs. Grey. Do you know who this is?"

It was me — of course I knew.

"She is the mistress of the Greys. She is Mr. Grey's legitimate wife."

"Mr. Grey rules the business world with an iron will, but he's a romantic. It is said that he stayed single just to marry this wife."

"Everyone in the business circle knows that it's better to please Mrs. Grey than to please Mr. Grey. Mrs. Grey is the apple of Mr. Grey's eye."

Hearing their chatter, I smiled happily.

Three years into the marriage, Axel Grey's business grew bigger, while his reputation as a loyal and doting husband grew more famous.

Rosalie always wanted to outdo me and never missed an opportunity to show off in front of me. "Mr. Grey bid for a 20-million-dollar bracelet called Eternal Sincerity at Christie's to please Mrs. Grey. Every woman in the world wishes she were Mrs. Grey."

She paused and pointed at my wrist, speaking with a shrill voice, "That’s the one!"

Everyone turned silent immediately as everyone looked at my bracelet.

Levi suddenly grabbed my hand, sized it up and said sarcastically, "It's quite an exquisite knockoff! Who bought it for you? He gave you a knockoff as a gift."

"You piece of trash."

I shook off his hand, smiled and rubbed the bracelet carefully.

Seeing my happy smile, Levi's eyes narrowed as he suddenly grabbed my wrist and took the bracelet off with a hard tug.

I did not expect it to happen, so he succeeded in one go.
