He didn’t need to. “This marriage exists publicly. We will appear together when required. We will perform when necessary. But privately, we are strangers. No shared life. No shared bed.” This time, he reacted, the answer coming immediately. “No. That won’t work.” “It’s not a suggestion.” “Elena, listen,” he said, leaning forward, lowering his voice. “You can set every other condition you want, but this has to look real.

Then her eyes darted towards her face and her husband's. She was smiling in there. Aside from that, there's a slight smile etching on Tan's lips. His hand on her waist. Tan looked like he was holding her like he was telling the world she was his. Again. Elaine smiled at the thought. Not caring where her hope would take her. It doesn't matter. As long as she was with him. There were so many articles about second marriages that she had come across. According to it, second marriages are more likely to fail. But remarrying the same spouse tells a different story. Somehow, Elaine was holding on to that.

Another two days had already passed, and they were bonding again. Anyone could scarcely say their marriage had once crumbled because of how closed and attached they were now.

Mistress Ais actually has had hot desires for Maru. She was only glad for it to happen this soon in their relationship. A strong capable man having ten wives was the norm even in her time. Though some societies scoffed at such ideas but nevertheless, they remained as one of the universal truths, especially in the war torn lands of the Seven Shores.

She still stays in Brazil, but she comes with Daniel occasionally to New York, and this was one of the occasions. Sometimes, Camilla and David tag along but they couldn't make it. Twice a year, we all meet and spend the day with Mom, bonding and getting to know what is going on in our lives. Well, Dave suggested it once, and everyone started complying with it. I can see the happiness in Mom's face anytime we come together like this. She lost her husband and a daughter but she got more sons and daughters in return. I know she still moans over them but she is in a better place.

"So when will you consider being truly a family with Mr. Chester?" I cleared my throat, feeling a subtle blush on my ears. Jessica, not sure who she was now relying on, managed to give birth to the child safely. After she recovered from giving birth, the first thing she did was to expose me to the media. My new company was doing well and had gained some local fame, so the news of me "abandoning my wife and child to become a husband who took his wife’s last name" quickly trended. Jessica, holding the child, cried in front of the camera, saying that I brought a strange woman home on the wedding day and left for over a year.

"It depends on who wins in the end." "Didn't that shrew say Ms. Sherman's ex is the CEO of Atlas? And Atlas' CEO is Mr. Garland's cousin, right? Could it be that the two cousins are..." The implication was clear. "So what? There are even cases of fathers and sons sharing the same woman!" Faith chuckled.

Many people are capable of it, though."

She cleared her throat before speaking. “Well, you and your husband were in a contract marriage before, right? According to the papers you both signed, properties cannot be shared no matter what. The only thing that will be split is what he promised you from his father’s properties, which of course you have now in your name. That includes this house and some parts of the shares of the company,” she said.

"Everything he has given you, he once gave Carmen as well—only more completely and without reservation. Because they were not only partners who had faced life and death together… they were once husband and wife." When Chris stated it so bluntly, even though Sharon had already prepared herself mentally, her breath still caught sharply. Husband and wife. So they had once been married. Thomas's ex-wife was Carmen. No wonder she had always felt that when Thomas and Carmen spoke to each other, there was a tacit understanding that ordinary people did not share.
