When Morwenna finished cooking, she found Adide had already left the house. Not that it
mattered much because she had only prepared one portion anyway.
When cing the food on the dining table, Morwenna cheerfully said to Stuart, "Breakfast is ready,
Stuart. I''ve got to go. See you."
With a deep look in his eyes, Stuart said again, "Wait a minute."
Morwenna furrowed her brows, wondering what sort of trouble Stuart was brewing. She had made
his meal. What more could he possibly want?
Stuart handed her a document. "Take a look and sign it if everything seems fine."
Confused, Morwenna wondered what she was supposed to sign. Was he worried she wouldn’t keep
her word and refuse to leave?
As Morwenna scanned the document, she realized it was another contract. But this time, it wasn’t
about sending her away. It was a three-year marriage contract, including a nk check.
Stuart''s voice waszy and carefree as he said, “You like money, don’t you? You agreed to sleep
with me once for a hundred thousand dors. This contract is for three years. Fill out the check as
you wish.”
Morwenna''s bright eyes, full of surprise, were fixed on Stuart, searching for even a trace of respect.
Unfortunately, she only saw his lofty indifference, as cold and chilling as the deepest winter snow.
Setting down the contract, Morwenna confronted Stuart with a cold expression for the first time.
“Stuart, what do you take me for?”
Marriage should be about mutual respect and support, a bond of love and reliance. Even if they
couldn’t achieve that, they should at least part amicably, with some semnce of respect for one
another, not with a contract that felt like a sale of her dignity.
Stuart frowned, puzzled by her resistance. “Just sign it. Isn’t it said that money can easily keep a
woman? I’m offering you a great deal.”
His eyes darkened, showing his impatience. “Don’t be so greedy, kiddo. What more could you
possibly want?”
Morwenna was furious enough to curse, and so she did. “Are you out of your mind, you crazy old
man! You wanted me gone, and I agreed. You know Norbert has our marriage certificate, that we
can’t divorce, yet you selfishly ask me to leave, bearing the title of Stuart''s wife, unable to remarry.
Sure, for Norbert’s sake, I can ept it. But let’s make it clear. I owe you nothing. I haven’t spent
any of your money or taken anything of yours. You know, you have no right to humiliate me like this.
What do I want? A person like you could never provide the things I want!”
Stuart’s face turned a shade uglier. Thest person who had dared to speak to him like that had
ended up bankrupt.
But Morwenna wasn’t afraid. “Let’s not see each other again unless it’s about Norbert. Let’s go our
separate ways!”

With those final words, Morwenna dropped the contract, grabbed her luggage, and walked out
without a backward nce, hoping never to see him again.
She was furious.
Every girl harbored her dreams about marriage, and Morwenna was no exception. She had agreed
to marry Stuart as a gesture of gratitude and tried her best to make it work, to grow closer to him.
She used to light up at the sight of Stuart''s good looks, and being beside him at night would make
her cheeks go all rosy. She was only an ordinary girl, hoping for a marriage filled with mutual
tolerance and respect, to swap genuine feelings for honest emotions.
