In the morning, the sunlight shone through the curtains on the floor of the bedroom.Charles slowly opened his eyes and looked at Maria sleeping in his arms. He gave a gentle smile and bent down to kiss her forehead."Hmm..."Maria moved and opened her eyes to look at him."Awake?""Hmm."Maria mumbled and wrapped her arms around his neck."Honey, thank you for this time."Charles chuckled softly, "I'm your husband."Maria pouted, knowing that he didn't understand what she meant, but she couldn't ask him about his biological mother. She could only raise her head and give him a kiss on his chin. "Okay, then I'll get up."Charles had been worried that she would be overwhelmed by the sorrow of losing her father when she woke up this morning, but she seemed to be fine as if nothing had happened.He didn't want to bring up her sadness anymore, so he gently patted her back. "Alright."After getting dressed, Maria finally looked at him. "I'm going to visit the Millet Family. My dad... Young

In the past month, Maria completed her graduation defense at school and successfully obtained her diploma.Charles, on the other hand, was busy from early morning till late night, sometimes even coming home around eleven or twelve at night.Maria knew he had a lot of things to take care of at the company, so she didn't ask too much, but would wait for him to come home every day before going to sleep.*************One day after a month, Maria, as usual, sat in the living room with cut fruits and many dried fruit snacks on the table. She just turned on the TV and was preparing to watch when the door suddenly opened.She quickly stood up and walked towards the door, seeing Charles come in, she smiled and helped him take off his coat."You're back early today.""Heh..."Charles chuckled derisively as he took off his shoes, "What, you don't like me coming home so early?""How could that be!"Maria hung the clothes on the coat rack, then went to the kitchen to make a pot of tea, poured a c

Maria knew who it was just by the ring of the voice. Who other than Lesser Mia could have such a sharp and sarcastic tone?"Huh..." Maria curved her lips into a subtle smile, and walked over without arrogance or humility, taking a seat on the lone single seater sofa."Lesser Mia, it's been a month since we last met. I didn't expect that you, the servant of three different families, have flourished even more. Come on, tell me, how many more fathers have you acknowledged?"The sarcasm in her words caused a burst of suppressed laughter to ripple through the room. A man next to her couldn't help but spurt out a laugh and even the others were striving to keep in their chuckles.The whole city knew about Lesser Mia assuming the position as the lady of the Lesser family. If she had kept a low profile, people wouldn't have made fun of her. However, she was so high-profile that the entire city knew about her public incidents.The most hilarious thing was an incident at a shopping mall where s

"What?"Mia was dumbfounded and even stood up in anger, "You're actually asking me to leave? On what grounds?"With a lift of her chin, Yu Meilin sternly said, "Because this is my house! Get out!""I..."Mia wanted to say something, yet seeing Yu Meilin's enraged expression, she could do nothing but stomp her foot in frustration. What was going on?Was there any difference between what she and Maria had said?Why was she being dismissed and not Maria?It was so infuriating!Giving Yu Meilin a furious glare, Mia snorted proudly, "Fine, I'll go. The whole capital isn't just selling land to you!"With that, she picked up her bag and angrily stomped away, even snorting angrily at Maria as she passed her by.Maria, left speechless, only shook her head. "Childish!"Sheng Wei immediately stopped in her tracks, "You..."Unable to hold her anger any longer, Yu Meilin barked, "Get Out!"Mia glanced at Yu Meilin, then at Maria, and gritted her teeth in anger, forcing herself to swallow her word

"Hmm? You bought it for a billion?"Charles returned home, looking at the contract that Maria handed him, he couldn't believe it, "If I didn't know Yu Meilin was a woman, I would really think you used some extraordinary means.""Look what's been in your head all day!"Maria huffed irritably, then told him what had happened at Yu Meilin's house today.After Charles listened, he was even more incredulous, "A story, plus a lovesick knot is worth a billion? Maria, your story and lovesick knots are really valuable!""That's it!"Maria suddenly paused, "Ah, husband, I won't tell you anymore, I just remembered that book, wait for me, I will find it."Previously, when Noah Swinton had a car accident, to afford the medical expenses, Maria sold their old house. Anyway, Noah Swinton was in the hospital and she was in school, so it didn't matter if they didn't have a home.Before selling the house, She packed up everything in the house. There wasn't anything valuable, just some albums and that bo
