“Nola, what are you upset about?” Elvis was angry and couldn’t help but raise his voice. The two of them were at a standstill. Nola looked at his concern for her and all she could think about were the words he had said to her that night, each one dripping with sarcasm.

“The Grant family asked you to go, and you went alone. You have my contact information, so why didn’t you tell me? Do you really not want people to know about my existence? Am I that embarrassing to you? Just look at yourself now

She had suffered grievances, come back without saying anything, and now she was having a quarrel with him. What was this?

“I’m well aware of my own identity, how could I dare to quarrel with Mr. Grayson! I always follow your wishes and never have any unrealistic ideas. I’m not qualified to ask you to do anything for me!”

Elvis‘ expression grew even more unpleasant. “What do you mean by that?”

Nola laughed mockingly. “Do you all enjoy watching others feel embarrassed? So now you’re waiting for me to be nice to you, only to slap me hard and tell me that trying to please you is a ridiculous thing to do? Or do you want to tell me again not to have any other thoughts because they’re all just wishful thinking?”

That night, wasn’t it here where he clearly told her to stay away from him?

Nola took a deep breath and suppressed her grievances. She knew she wasn’t entitled to them.

“Mr. Grayson, I will always remember your orders and won’t dare to wander aimlessly in front of you. I’ll make sure to keep a safe distance from you, to prevent any confusion. Being simple is better.”

Nola was firm in her words. Only then did Elvis remember that he was in a bad mood that night and had drunk a little too much. It was no wonder that the girl had remembered those words.

“You’re my wife, how do you keep a safe distance from me?” Elvis wouldn’t let her get away, after holding it in for so long, could she just apologize and submit?

“Yes, I am your legal wife, but that’s all I am. Mr. Grayson, I bet my own lifetime happiness to cure my mother. Marrying you was my choice and no matter what happens, I accept it. Just let me keep my own heart, at least.”

“Nola Grant!”
