Married To a Stranger Chapter 43
She answered in a cool professional tone, her voice unrecognizable. Isabel's voice was practically dripping with respect. “Hello, Dr. N. I apologize for the sudden call.” “I'm Isabel Natalia Anderson's daughter.” “I've come to you with a very exciting proposition.” “The Knight Corporation has invited you to join its R and D team with my mother's endorsement.” “Would you consider—” “Not interested,” Ruby cut in, her modulated voice cold as steel. Isabel began to protest, but Ruby interrupted. “I only consult for companies under Mrs. Anderson's direct ownership.” “Don't call me again.” And with that, she ended the call, leaving Isabel with the face of a smoking volcano. It was Monday morning when Ruby dropped the puppy off with Matilda and headed to work. Out on the street, she was

While Natalia's hospital suite was shrouded in tension, Matilda's was lively and full of conversation. “What did we have for lunch today?” she mused out loud, straining her brain to remember. “Porridge… No, that's not it. It was noodles, right?” Owen nodded, a gentle smile on his face. “That's right.” Grandma Matilda beamed proudly. “See, I told you I'm fine. My mind is sharp as ever.” Owen remained silent. His smile was hollow. They'd eaten rice for lunch, but Matilda had forgotten again. Her memory was deteriorating with each passing day, and he didn't know how to stop it. From across the room, Ruby asked lazily, “Grandma, what color was Mr. Knight's tie yesterday?” Matilda frowned. “Sweetie, I don't like that. You call him Mr. Knight.” She turn

Leo's words hung in the air. One by one, all eyes turned to Carter. Carter looked stunned. “Wait. Did Owen arrange this room?” he asked, his voice unsteady. “That's right,” Leo replied calmly. Owen, however, said nothing. Maintaining a composed, distant expression, he stepped out into the hallway, clearly giving the family their privacy. Only Ruby knew he was there, but she kept her lips sealed despite her surprise. Natalia was stunned, too, but she recovered quickly, forcing a smile. “So, Carter, your uncle secured the suite for you. How nice of him.” Leo chimed in with a smile. “Actually, Miss Ruby asked the boss to arrange this.” “Did you ask hi

“I heard the hospital's packed with flu cases, not a room available yesterday.” “Yet Carter secured this one for us.” “We're indebted to him.” Natalia's eyes went wide. “Did he arrange this?” “Sweet. I must thank him.” “He really is a good kid.” Isabel jumped on the opportunity. “Mom, since Carter has been so good to you.” She barreled on with a dramatic sigh. “The Knight family wants Carter to lead R&D, but the veteran researchers won't respect him.” “If Doctor N came on board, even as a consultant, Carter would gain the authority he needs.” After she finished speaking, Isabel watched her mother's face. Sure enough, she saw the conflict there. Natalia had principles. She hated calling in favors, but she hated owing them even more. Natalia hesitat
Married To a Stranger Chapter 39
Her father's harsh question made Ruby's eyes narrow before she could respond. Natalia's soft voice came from the bed. “Is that Ruby?” Warren, let her in. “You'd better not upset my wife again.” Ruby ignored him and walked straight to Natalia. “I already told you this has nothing to do with Ruby,” Natalia said gently, holding Ruby's hand. “I'm just exhausted from days of poor sleep.” “Sweetheart, were you frightened today?” Ruby managed a faint smile. “I'm just glad you're okay.” “You should come home more often,” Natalia said warmly, settling back against the pillows. “And your husband. Your mother may call him useless, but I know better. You've always had good judgment.” “I'm sure he's not so bad. Bring him to meet me someday.” Ruby's eyes burned. “Yes, ma'am,” she whispered.

It was Owen, looking like an immovable guardian, holding the world at bay for her. Ruby blinked back her tears, swallowing hard. “Mr. Knight…” Warren stammered. Owen's voice was calm, but there was a sharp edge beneath it. “Mr. Anderson, I usually don't interfere in family matters, but my grandmother is very fond of Ruby, and I'm certain she wouldn't appreciate seeing her with a bruised face.” Warren's hand dropped, his expression one of shame. “You're right. My apologies.” Before anyone could say more, a soft cough came from the room. Natalia was awake. Warren and Isabel rushed inside at once, forgetting everything else. Ruby got to her feet, wanting desperately to go in. But she held

Isabel's claim of knowing Dr. N then spiraled in Ruby's head. She couldn't even process it. Had she accidentally signed off something without reading? Made some bizarre contract mistake? But before she could dig deeper into the panic rising in her chest, Professor Miller's sharp gasp snapped he

That's impossible. I saw her. His grandmother insisted. She just dumped me on the police and ran off. Can you believe she did that? She huffed. Give me your phone. She told him. Owen handed it over without protest. The old woman squinted at the screen, then carefully copied the most recent
Married To a Stranger Who Knows Dr.N
Ruby had guarded her identity as Dr. N fiercely, planning to keep it hidden for as long as possible. It was the only sanctuary she had from the toxicity of her other life. They're trying hard. But don't worry, we'll maintain complete confidentiality. Miles assured. You sure? She pressed. Absolu
Married To a Stranger Owen Knight
In an instant, Owen's face darkened, his eyes narrowed, completely void of emotion. He stared at her for a second, then turned to head back into the party. Ruby quickly stepped in front of him, blocking his path. Owen's brow furrowed. Move, he ordered. His voice was low and smooth. The kind of v
