It wasn't until Noella Bennett had three children that she finally realized how she'd been systematically ensnared by the sixth uncle of the Lu family—a wolf in sheep's clothing from the very beginning!
At first, he said:
"Noella, after what happened tonight, you might have to play along for a while and pretend to be my girlfriend."
"Noella, my heart isn't well—could you hold me while I sleep?"
"Noella, if you don’t want to, you don’t have to force yourself to marry me. I’d rather give up being the CEO of Lu Corporation than sacrifice you."
But later, after she cured his heart condition and he helped her take revenge on those who wronged her, when she thought the act was over and it was time to bow out gracefully, he said instead:
"Noella, no one else would dare marry you. You can only stay by my side."
"Noella, how many children should we have? I think three is just right—keeping up with the times."
"Noella, divorce is out of the question. The only way out is widowhood. So, how would you like that to happen? Personally, I’d prefer..."
He paused, studying her with utmost seriousness before finishing:
"—to work myself to death for you."
