Elvis was neither noble–minded nor inconsiderate. He had known that Nola had only so little courage. Now that they got married, they should take their marriage seriously. He wouldn’t force her on some things but let her slowly get used to it!

There was a sigh above Nola’s head. “A clever person will not cope with a tough problem alone.”

Nola said dully, “But you’re Mr. Grayson!”

“You were bold when you came to me, weren’t you? But now you’re a wimp, are you?”

All right! Although Elvis was handsome, and it would not be her loss to sleep with him, she was a wimp now.

He knew everything and why she resorted to him but agreed with her proposal.

She was taking advantage of him!

“I’ve always been on my own. And I’m used to it. I can handle difficulties myself!”

Being rejected by a woman who was his wife, Elvis became unhappy. With his handsome blue face, he unconsciously tightened his grip in the dark, and they were pressed closer together.

“As I said, you have to get used to it. Get used to everything, including the Grayson family and me.”
