But I didn't care—marriage was a matter between two people. 

The Petersen Family background was simple and even with a difficult mother-in-law, I was confident I could live a good life every day.

Besides, what was not to like about a woman who saved my life?

Leon's voice came from behind me, "Mrs. Petersen, I just received a message from a client. They'll be at the company in five minutes."

The woman's voice returned to its usual calm. "Okay." 

The footsteps faded into the distance. I took a deep breath and put down the phone, which I had already hung up.

Suddenly, a pair of leather shoes appeared in front of me.

It was Leon.

He chuckled, a mocking tone in his voice. "Mr. Davidson, Mr. Petersen said that you can tell me directly if you need anything in the future and I can relay it for you." 

Communication between husband and wife had to be relayed through an outsider.

The implication was obvious.

The man stood there, observing my expression, a hint of smugness in his eyes.

"Mr. Davidson, let me be frank. Mrs. Petersen has been incredibly kind to me and I cherish the opportunity to work with her. I also deeply understand her passion for the company, so I won't leave her easily.”
