Semua Bab His Substitute Bride: Love at First Cure: Bab 21 - Bab 30

"Sure."Lorraine barely changed her expression and agreed readily.Helena found it particularly interesting and immediately became intrigued.In fact, Helena and Baron Mercer never had a good impression of their own nephew, let alone this niece-in-law who had no background or status.Helena came from the prestigious Mercer family and had been doted on by her father since childhood.As a result, she developed an arrogant and domineering personality, acting recklessly without regard for rules or authority.These traits were evident not only within the Mercer family but also in the company, where everyone feared her.Dawson's mother had a gentle personality and never bothered to engage with this unreasonable sister-in-law.Within the Mercer family, Helena respected only Agnes and Dawson—she didn't take anyone else seriously.Now, she had unexpectedly gotten into an argument with this niece-in-law, which was something she hadn't anticipated."Since that's the case, don't regret it," Helen

Lorraine said, "Dawson."Her tone was gentle as she called him by his full name.At such a late hour, it carried an unusual feeling."Hmm?" The man still felt quite pleased with himself."Do you not have a mirror? Or do you not have the urge to relieve yourself?"Dawson was lost for words.Only then did he realize that he had just been mocked.The next second, just as Dawson was about to press her down to scare her a little, something interrupted him.Unexpectedly, Lorraine, who had already figured out his bullying tactics, got out of bed first."I'm just suggesting you take a good look at yourself in the mirror."Leaving those words behind, Lorraine grabbed her coat and walked out of the bedroom.She didn't return for the entire night.Dawson didn't really care where she went to sleep. After all, aside from the Mercer's place, she had nowhere else to go.Besides, after drinking that calming soup for the past two days, Dawson had been sleeping exceptionally well. He lay back down and

"Sure."Lorraine smiled slightly and readily accepted Jane's help.She moved back and forth between the kitchen and the living room.Taking the opportunity, Jane pulled out her phone and messaged Helena to report her progress."She's already started brewing the medicine."I went in to help. Everything is going smoothly."Anna is upstairs massaging Madam Mercer' legs, and Mrs. Mercer isn't home either."Don't worry, Ms. Helena. I'll do exactly as you instructed."Jane continued secretly replying to Helena.At Glory Group.After finishing his morning client meetings and lunch, Dawson returned to his office.He recalled what his assistant had told him that Lorraine was brewing medicine today, and Helena had bribed a servant to tamper with it.People always compared wealthy families to royal palace intrigue, and honestly, that wasn't an exaggeration.Logically, Lorraine had just married in. She had no power and no influence—what kind of grudge could she possibly have with Helena?But Hele

After a few seconds, Lorraine suddenly pushed Dawson away, leaning against the wall, panting heavily.She could clearly hear the pounding of her own heartbeat."Dawson, what the hell is wrong with you?""Kissing my own wife isn't that only natural?" Dawson smirked with satisfaction, his thumb brushing against his lips, savoring the moment."Dawson, I warn you, if you dare to disrespect me again, I will...""Oh? And what will you do?" The man raised an eyebrow."I'll tell Grandma."She had been holding back for so long, only to come up with this, something even Dawson hadn't expected.Fuming, Lorraine stormed into the guest bedroom, slamming the door shut with a loud bang, her anger palpable.Dawson couldn't help but chuckle, not for any particular reason, just because he found it amusing.Back in the guest room, Lorraine tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.Thinking about that sudden kiss, her heart still raced.She had lived with her grandfather in the mountains since childhood,

Lorraine had sharper senses than most people's sight, hearing, and reflexes. The moment she felt a hand on her back, she dropped into a crouch. The attacker missed, lost balance, and tumbled down the stairs with a startled cry.A commotion broke out. Shoppers turned their heads, gasps rippling through the crowd.Since everything happened so suddenly, no one had expected this turn of events.Luckily, the staircase wasn't too high, but the man who fell lay sprawled on the ground, moaning in pain—probably with a broken bone.Lorraine, though not pushed down because of that man's attack...She had gripped the staircase railing so tightly that her hand twisted slightly, now swollen and red."Are you okay?"Lorraine sat on the stairs, still a little shaken.A pair of large hands suddenly reached out beside her. Lorraine looked up and saw a refined and gentle young man.He appeared to be in his early twenties, dressed in a gray-blue jacket."I'm fine, thank you." Lorraine shook her head, dec
