Chapter 1

In the Levine manor at Norham, Katherine Xander was about to go upstairs.

As the banquet was about to begin, she wanted to invite her grandfather–in–law, Maxwell Levine, to come downstairs.

Shortly after, she arrived in front of the door of his study. Seeing that it was half–closed, she prepared to knock on it.

Just then, she heard the old man’s solemn voice traveling from the study.

“Christopher, you and Katherine have been married for two years. Don’t you think you should have children by now? You’re not young anymore. It’s time you consider having a child.”

After hearing Maxwell’s words, Katherine finally understood why she had not seen her husband, Christopher Levine, the entire night. He had been in the old man’s study the whole time.

Katherine knew it was rude to cavesdrop on other people’s conversations.

However, she found herself rooted to her spot and wanted to hear Christopher’s

answer

Then, a cold and indifferent voice sounded, “A woman who’s not loved by me doesn’t deserve to conceive my child.”

The color instantly drained from Katherine’s face, and a chill washed over her broken heart.

Unexpectedly, as if that wasn’t enough, Christopher added in an annoyed tone, “Grandpa, I’ve already done what all of you wanted and married Katherine, but if you want me to have a child with her. I’m afraid I can’t do that. Today, I’m going to make it clear to you that Katherine and I will never have a child in this lifetime”

With that, he marched to head out of the room.

Maxwell was utterly enraged, and he yelled at him loudly. “You rascal! You’ve become quite the rebel, huh?” He threw the cane he was holding toward the door for good

measure.

Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching the door of the study, Katherine hid in the guest room next door frantically. However, as she walked too quickly, she accidentally bumped into the doorknob.

She endured the pain, not daring to make a sound. Unable to contain the misery in her
