Marriage of Another Life
Tilda had tried many times to seduce him, but every time, she ended up bruised and thrown out of his room.
Eventually, because she never had children, Mike's mother, Samantha Pearson, declared that she must be sick and kicked her out of the Pearsons' house.
As for me, I married Phil. He didn't have much influence in the Pearsons, but he gave me food, clothes, and comfort. He took me shopping, ate with me, and went on dates with me, spoiling me completely.
Everyone in the Pearsons knew how close we were.
Later, Mike suddenly died from poisoning, and Phil inherited the family business.
