The man was intimidating. Even though Ruthanne felt guilty, she did not want to be misunderstood. She hastily explained, “Mr. Coldhurst was the one who brought me here.”
The fire burning in Theodoric’s eyes threatened to set her ablaze.
Silvius Coldhurst! You’re a real scoundrel!
After taking anothece at Ruthanne, he turned to call Silvius, the anger in his voice audible. “Explain
this!”
Silvius answered with m
“What an accusation! Ruthanne is your beloved wife, and yet you expect me
to take care of her. I’ve thought about it, and it’s simply inappropriate for me to hide someone else’s wife in my own home, isn’t it?”
“You have ten minutes to take her back before I lose my temper.”
Theodoric was like a lion that struck terror into people’s hearts.
However, as Theodoric’s psychiatrist, Site knew well where Theodoric’s limits lie.
He made sure that everything he did was wit. Theodoric’s range of acceptance.
“Theodoric, do you really need me to clarify this again? Aren’t you curious about how Ruthanne became your wife and how she made you smell the perfume she concocted? There has to be a secret, and you’ll only uncover it by keeping her close to your side.”
Silvius‘ words snapped Theodoric back to his senses.
Theodoric had chosen to let her go the day before because her history was unblemished. There was no reason for him to keep her.
However, after the perfume incident, he w

What confused him most was why he could smell the perfume she made and why the smell was the same as the scent Marianne had on that night.
If the surveillance footage did not clearly show that the one he had slept with was Marianne, he would have suspected Ruthanne.
Indeed, as long as he had yet to find out where that scent came from, he could not let Ruthanne leave.
Once he recollected himself, he raised his hand to rub his temple. “I got it.”
After ending the call with Silvius, Theodoric returned to Ruthanne. He had an apathetic look on his face as he said, “I can let you stay but under three conditions.”
Ruthanne froze and stared at him in confusion.
Why, that’s sudden. What did Silvi

“First of all, you’re not allowed into my room. Secondly, don’t let anyone in the company find out that

we’re staying together. Thirdly and most importantly, you’re not allowed to tell the public that you’re my
wife.”
“Mr. Lasker, did you make a mistake? What wife? Aren’t you my employer and am I not your employee?”
Ruthanne was smart. She knew that Theodoric was ill at ease about her identity, so she set her cards on the table for him to see.
His wife? No way! I’ve never acknowledged this identity.
Theodoric was stunned by the way she desperately tried to draw a clear line between the two of them. She did not seem to be trying to take advantage of him.
After giving her a long look, he turned to Ballard. “Take her inside.”
“Of course, Mr. Lasker.”
Ruthanne followed Ballard into the mansion, but Theodoric did not enter with them. He stood by the doorway, smoking and seemingly lost in his thoughts.
Ruthanne was sincere. She was not faking anything.
She was genuinely uninterested in becoming Theodoric’s wife.
If not for her desperate wish to save her grandmother, with her character, she would have never crossed paths with someone as uncultured as Theodoric.
She was only staying in his house, and during her stay, she would certainly keep her distance from him.
Alas, life had other plans for her.
Right as she entered the guest room, an unfamiliar number called.
She noted that the number was hidden, and the careful manner reminded her about that mysterious person.
Sure enough, her guess was right.
“Ruthanne, I’m sure you’ve gotten into his house now. Not bad. I knew I’d chosen the right person for this.”
The voice of the mysterious person had a mechanical quality, making it difficult for her to discern whether it belonged to a man or a woman.
Ruthanne surveyed her surroundings, feeling as if someone was constantly watching her.
“Who are you?” she whispered into the receiver. “How did I end up getting married to him? Why did I end up at his place yesterday? I want an explanation for everything!”
The mysterious person laughed, and it sounded ear–piercing. “These aren’t the questions you should be thinking about. Now, you have a new task to complete.”
Anger rushed through Ruthanne. “Don’t push your luck! The deal was that I’ll marry him in exchange for you treating my grandma. What else do you want from me?”
“You have no right to negotiate with me.”

The mysterious person’s voice turned icy and stern. “I hope you remember that your grandma is with me. I can stop her treatment anytime.”
Ruthanne stiffened, and her hands grew cold.
Her paternal grandmother was her weak spot. She could not defend herself with her grandmother being so vulnerable.
Left without a choice, she relented and asked, “What’s my next task?”
“Get Theodoric to accept your identity as his wife and make him fall in love with you in three months.”
