Chapter 3
“When did you meet her?“Gilda asked as she struggled to stand in the dim light on crutches.
“Did you follow me?” Jensen’s face darkened quickly.
“Do I look like such a bored person? I saw you and the other woman in the hospital.” Although her voice was low, she spoke clearly.

However, Jensen just looked a little bit mad.
He had never cared about her since the air crash, and every word he said showed his disgust and impatience with her.
The three–year marriage was nothing to him.
Gilda spent three years living with her mean mother–in–law and taking care of her sister–in–law who never liked her. She was humbl as a servant at home and worked hard as a secretary in the company.

Jensen swallowed. He intended to explain more but he didn’t think he had to.
Instead, he stared at Gilda with an unpleasant look and said, “Have you forgotten why I chose you to be my wife?”
The fact was that even if he didn’t mention it, she’d never forget it.
The Harrington Corporation had many branches and countless people wanted to take over the company. Therefore, Marilyn searched for all the unmarried women in Allath to find the perfect one for Jensen and hoped that she could have a baby soon to solidify Jensen’s position as the heir.
