Chapter 10

Penulis: Two Dolls
I chose to ignore Mike's comments about Maisie and asked, "Where are Ellie and Maisie?"

Mike instantly became animated. "They went to settle things for you. I was planning to go as well, but they were honestly too terrifying. So I stayed behind to watch over you."

I spoke with feigned displeasure. "What's that supposed to mean? Are you unhappy staying with me?"

Mike looked at me with a speechless expression. "I'm not even sure where to start with you, Peter. When I arrived, you were already out cold. I learned what happened from the people around.

"That sweet little girl of yours went pale the second you collapsed. After you were sent to the hospital, Maisie stabbed Ronald's hand with a fork. I still can't believe a child could have that kind of force."

He continued, "Ellie later found out that Jenny slapped you three days ago and destroyed the gift she gave you. She also learned about how Ronald and his group humiliated you.

    Ellie's expression was somber. After confirming that I hadn't been injured, she summoned the bodyguards and ordered them to take Jenny away."Ellie, do you really think he loves you? You're only a stand-in for me."The moment the words left Jenny's mouth, Ellie knocked her unconscious. Ellie had been aware of my past with Jenny. She had heard the rumors long ago.Even after so many years of marriage, Ellie remained insecure. She was always convinced that my love for her was insufficient.As I watched her retreating figure, a pain settled in my chest.Jenny had spent years provoking conflict between Ellie and me, and I wanted nothing more than for her to disappear forever.…When I returned home that night, I paused in front of the wedding photo on the wall and found myself staring at it.Ellie's eyes in the photo were full of love, while my own expression looked restrained and distant.Our marriage was a marriage of convenience, and back then, I had jumped into it on impulse.

    "No, Mommy didn't yell at me," Maisie said."That's a lie," I replied.I disliked it more than anything when Maisie lied to me, yet she continued to insist that Ellie hadn't raised her voice.I knew Ellie too well for that. Maisie had clearly been scolded. I drew Maisie into my arms and tried to comfort her, then glanced at Ellie with quiet reproach.Ellie, uneasy under my look, stood there stiffly, her guilt written all over her."Daddy, I won't let you get hurt again. This was my fault. I'm sorry, Daddy."She was so lovely in that moment that my heart softened completely."Protecting you is my responsibility. I'm not upset with you."Mike took Maisie with him and stepped out, leaving just Ellie and me in the hospital room.She reached for my hospital gown, intent on checking my injuries herself. The doctor had already taped gauze in place, so there was little to see.Ellie tried the same soft, spoiled tone Maisie used when she wanted something."Fine. Go ahead," I said.S

    Jenny's audacity truly challenged everything I thought I understood.Ellie's blood clung to me. Seeing how worried I was for her, she let out a laugh.I shot her an annoyed look. "What's so funny?"Ellie reached out with her uninjured hand and touched my waist. "Peter, you just said the one you love is me."The corner of Maisie's mouth twitched. Her formidable mother, the woman who ruled the business world, now looked gentle and openly affectionate. It was almost painful for Maisie to witness.The guests stared in shock, then with unmistakable envy."I can't believe Peter turned Ms. Olsen into this.""Ms. Olsen is undeniably wrapped around her husband."When Jenny saw that I ignored her, embarrassment quickly turned into anger, and her hands curled into tight fists.Maisie showed her no mercy. "Marry you? Seriously? You think you deserve that? My dad only loves my mom. He loves me too. And he's going to love my baby brother someday, too."You're the one who broke his heart, s

    The guests looked on with disdain, their gazes fixed on Jenny, Ronald, and the others as if they were watching a farce.Nearby, the doctor Ellie had arranged was carefully applying ointment to my hand. I hissed, and Maisie and Ellie looked ready to kill.They snapped, "Do you even know how to apply ointment?"The doctor froze, his hands trembling.I glanced at Ellie and Maisie, feigning frustration."Peter...""Daddy..."They both looked at me at once, clearly upset.I sighed helplessly. "That's enough. The doctor is helping me. Stop that."At that, the doctor's tension eased.After finishing the examination and treatment, he turned to Ellie and said evenly, "Ms. Olsen, your husband is doing well. There's no serious issue. The injury to his hand is from blunt force. I'll use the best medication to minimize any scarring."Ellie fell silent, and only I understood that this was the moment her temper began to build.Jenny, who had started this whole mess, couldn't hide her unea

    Maisie quickly chimed in, "We can't let Daddy be bullied."It wasn't a big deal, and I could've dealt with it on my own. Still, the concern from her and from Ellie made my throat tighten, and my voice wavered despite myself.The frustration I'd kept buried finally spilled over. "I'm so glad you both came."Those who'd picked me up at the airport were shaking now, gripping the edge of the table to keep themselves steady.Just days earlier, they had been mocking me, calling me Jenny's lapdog. It had never occurred to them that I was Ellie's husband, Pierre.Now the weight of that mistake settled in.The watch had been on my wrist from the start, and I'd stated more than once that I was Pierre.The thought that they'd offended someone important made the group want to find somewhere to hide.At that moment, Alan Jones, Ronald's close friend, stepped forward instead. "Peter, where did you dig up these two actresses? They're pretty convincing."Should Ronald help them get signed som
