Semua Bab I Married Into Old Money: Bab 1 - Bab 10

On the nightstand, her business magazine was still there. She read it every night.In the bathroom, her toothbrush stood next to mine.I lay on the bed and thought about the past three years.She stayed up late to fix the music box I had broken. When I woke up from a hangover, there was always warm water and hangover medicine by the bed. Every time she came back from social events, no matter how late it was, she went to the guest room first to wash up. She was afraid that the smell of alcohol would bother me.My thinking was suddenly interrupted by the buzz of my phone.It was the private investigator. He had sent encrypted photos and a location.In the photo, a little boy looked at the camera with a blank, innocent expression. His features looked very much like mine.[Mr. Wilson, your son, Casper Wilson, has been found at Sunshine Welfare Home in the neighboring city. We’ll bring him back so you can reunite.]Only then did I remember.Ah. I forgot to tell her that our son had

After that, she said in a low voice, “I’ll take you back.”She completely ignored Yarden, who was still frozen in place.In the cab, we both stayed silent.I looked at the bandage on her hand and said suddenly, “There is dust on your wound. It might get infected.”Ruby pulled her hand back slightly.“It’s fine.”I said slowly, “Yarden said you two are going to live together.”Ruby turned her head sharply.“He’s lying!”Her voice was quick and carried a rare anger.Then, she realized that she had lost her composure. She lowered her voice and said, “I have nothing to do with him. I’m staying in the construction site dorm.”I gave a soft “oh” and said nothing more.The chat floated across my vision.[Wait, why is it still a mystery how Ruby becomes so rich later?][No one has it worse than Ms. Xander. I’m speechless.]The car arrived at the villa.Before I got out, Ruby suddenly said, “Don’t worry about the money. If it’s not enough, tell me.”Her eyes were slightly blood

But in the end, her eyes still slowly closed.The chat floated across my vision again.[Did she hear it?][She must have heard it. Stephen said it so loudly.][Ms. Xander looked like she had heard it before she fainted.][The doctor is here! The doctor is here!]Emergency staff rushed over and lifted Ruby onto a stretcher.I followed behind. I held Cas in one hand and the report folder in the other.Yarden tried to follow, but a nurse stopped him.“Are you family?”“I’m her—”“Ex-husband,” I said without turning back. “I’m her ex-husband. The child in my arms is her biological son.”The nurse froze for a second. She did not stop Yarden anymore, but she did not let him into the ambulance either.The doors closed. The ambulance sped toward the hospital.I sat next to Ruby. I looked at her unconscious face, and my eyes suddenly felt a little wet.It was not sadness. It felt more like frustration. I had tried to tell her many times, but I never got the chance.The chat floa

A nurse came in to change Ruby’s dressing. She saw the three of us leaning close together and smiled.“Ms. Xander, you really scared your husband this time. When he brought you in, his face was even paler than yours.”Ruby turned to look at me.I said seriously, “I have anemia. I wasn’t scared.”The chat burst into laughter.[Stephen, this is not the time to correct that!][Ms. Xander be like, “I’ll never understand what’s going on in my husband’s mind.”][But why is that kind of cute?]After the dressing change, Ruby said she wanted to change hospitals.“The conditions here are average. I contacted a private hospital. I’ll be transferred there tomorrow.”I felt confused. “Didn’t you say you ran out of money? Private hospitals are expensive.”Ruby paused.“I have enough money,” she said. Her voice sounded a little unclear.The chat floated again.[Ruby is definitely hiding something.][She is definitely more than just a bankrupt CEO.][The Xander family… I bet it is tha

[The atmosphere in this family feels so oppressive.][Will Stephen be able to adapt?][Ms. Xander, please protect him!]I did not pay much attention to the chat because Cas was hungry.Cas tugged at my sleeve and said in a soft voice, “Daddy, hungry.”His voice was not loud, but the hall was quiet. Everyone heard it clearly.The atmosphere immediately turned strange.[Hahaha, Stephen, are you here to make us laugh?][Calling out “hungry” at a rich family reunion is wild.][But kids do get hungry.]Ruby’s lips curved slightly.“All right.” She turned to the butler. “Bring out the snacks we prepared.”Then, she held my hand and led me past everyone’s judging eyes toward the backyard.“I prepared a separate courtyard for you. It’s quiet and close to the kitchen,” she said softly. “You can ask for food anytime. Cas also has a playroom ready.”The courtyard Ruby prepared was even better than I expected.The small garden was full of flowers, and there was also a glass greenhou
