Evelyn Larson's nephew, Maxwell Larson, has been staying at my home for 12 years. On top of sponsoring everything he has in life, I even view him as my own son. Heck, I'm the one who paid the down payment for Maxwell's new family home. But on the night we're having a holiday dinner, he throws me a list in front of everyone. "Uncle Lawrence, I've already hashed out the details with my fiancee's family. We'll be giving her family 700 thousand dollars as a wedding gift. You've raised me for so many years, so you need to prepare this amount for me." I frown instantly. "Didn't I just settle your down payment for you? Besides, Tiffany's about to get married soon. I need to save some money for her own wedding gift." But Maxwell instantly smashes a plate out of anger. "Since she's marrying into another family, that means she's no longer a part of this family! Are you saying that you're willing to give your money to an outsider rather than your own nephew? "If you refuse to agree to my terms, I'll make Aunt Evelyn divorce you right now!" I turn to look at Evelyn out of instinct, only to see her pulling out a gift agreement that she has already drafted. "We don't need to prepare any wedding gifts for Tiffany, seeing as she's the one marrying into another family. Max, on the other hand, is the only son of the Larson family. You should give your money to him instead."

森田グループの社長である夫の森田勲（もりた いさお）と、12回目の体外受精のために病院へ向かう途中、知らない番号から電話が入った。 スマホの画面をちらりと見た瞬間、勲の表情がこわばった。 「取締役会の緊急会議だ」 そう言って立ち上がると、勲は慣れた手つきでジャケットの袖を整えた。 「国際合併の件でトラブルが起きた。先に戻っていてくれ、会議が終わったらすぐ戻るから」 診察室のドアが閉まる。看護師がカルテを手に持ち、戸惑った顔で私を見た。 「森田さん、胚の解凍プロセスを開始しますが、このまま進めますか？」 私は握りしめてしわくちゃになった同意書を見下ろした。 緊急会議？ 小林グループは森田グループにとって最大のスポンサーだ。そんな緊急の会議があるのなら、この小林家の令嬢である私が知らないはずがないのに。
