Back to the day we exchanged fiancés Chapter 4 +2 Bonus Mother didn't want to deal with him anymore and turned to leave . Lewis quickly grabbed her hand and pressed , " Didn't Elma already agree to be with me ? How could she marry Nick ? " Hearing this , Mother flew into a rage , yanking her hand free and snapping , " Agree to what ? My perfectly good daughter could be a CEO's wife , but instead you want her as your mistress ? You've got some nerve ! " Only then did Lewis remember that making Elma his mistress was something he and Father had discussed privately . He'd assumed that since Elma loved him so much , she'd be willing and grateful to be his mistress . The thought of her marrying Nick left Lewis feeling hollow inside , and he couldn't help but chase after the wedding procession . Janice grabbed Lewis's arm : " Lewis , where are you going ? " Lewis felt agitated : " I'm going to find Elma . I can't let her Nick . " marry Janice looked at him with tears in her eyes : " Why ? Did you fall for Elma while I was unconscious ? " Faced with Janice's questioning , Lewis instinctively deflected : " No , it's just ... Nick can't have children , and he's already caused 1/4 10:22 Chapter 4 +2 Bonus the deaths of three wives . I'm worried Elma will be in danger if she marries him . " Janice held tight to Lewis's arm and said gently , " Dad already looked into all that . It's just rumors , otherwise he never would have let Elma marry into that family . " " But ... " Janice cut him off : " Lewis , Elma is my sister , and now that she's married , we should start planning our own wedding . " Janice dragged Lewis off to discuss wedding dates with her father . I sat in the wedding car , listening to the sounds of the procession outside , feeling somewhat anxious . Nick had been sickly since childhood and had lived abroad most of his life , so few people had actually seen him . Some rumors claimed he looked fierce and menacing , like a death - seeking demon . Others said that because he couldn't have children , his temperament was unpredictable and he enjoyed tormenting people - his first three wives had all been tortured to death by him . After thinking it over , I decided to stay calm and take things as they came . At worst , I'd die , and since I'd already died once , there was nothing left to fear . 2/4 10:23 Chapter 4 The car drove for a long time before finally stopping . +2 Bonus A pair of well - defined hands opened the car door and extended a red silk ribbon toward me . I grasped the ribbon and let him help me out of the car . Today's ceremony was a traditional wedding . Whether from sitting too long or being too nervous , I stumbled over the threshold and nearly fell . His hand caught my waist just in time : " Careful . " His voice was warm and pleasant , extraordinarily beautiful , yet somehow familiar . After all the ceremonies ended , I sat on the bed . Having not eaten all day , my stomach was growling loudly . Listening to the commotion outside , I had no idea when Nick would come . What if he came in angry ? Wouldn't I end up dying of starvation ? With that thought , I lifted a corner of my veil and grabbed a pastry from the table . It melted in my mouth , sweet but not cloying . As expected from the capital's Samson family - even their pastries were better than street vendor food . After finishing one piece , I couldn't resist taking another . 3/4 10:23 Chapter 4 B +2 Bonus Just then , the door creaked open . I looked up to see Nick in his wedding attire standing in the doorway , staring at me with complete astonishment . 4/4
