“But of course. You are our precious daughter, we will raise you.” Emman patted Elisa with his hand and continued, “I have confidence in my tutor. I know what kind of person you are. Even if you marry someone like the Brich family, don’t wrong yourself and live according to your previous way. Your mother and I both hope that you will live well. If you don’t want it, throw the divorce certificate on William’s face and go home, you know?”
Elisa heard that and the corners of her mouth rose, but her eyes were wet. She trembled, “Dad, I just got married, and you are thinking about divorce.”
“Your mother wanted to say these words to you last night, which made her choke. I don’t mean anything else, just to make you understand. You are spoiled by your mother and me, and even if you marry, you will not change. We have spoiled you for more than 20 years, not to let you go to other people’s homes and be wronged.”
“I understand. Thanks, Dad.”
Her father was a rigorous engineer and usually talked little. With her and her mother gagging at home, her dad had less room to play. Her father wouldn’t say such a thing if it weren’t for reassuring her.
William looked at the woman who was getting closer and closer, and his mouth was slightly hooked as he reached out to her.
Elisa put her hand into the palm of William, and her heart jumped up with peace of mind.
Before she was at ease, she caught a glimpse of an invisible red on the collar of his white shirt. Her eyes paused. She just got married. Did her husband started looking for a mistress?
Elisa really didn’t know what expression to put. She wanted to have a banquet with William because she loved to get married to him. She could jump up and tear it up at that time. But their marriage was not because of love and their social status was not in the same position, she could not tear it up, at least she did not dare to tear it face to face.

Elisa entertained the guests with a smile all the way. After offering wine to the two parents, she was stuffed into the wedding car together with William. She rubbed her face with a quick smile and began to close her eyes.
“So tired?” William asked and poured her a glass of water.
“Not so much.” Elisa took the water and took a sip.
William saw that she looked tired, so she raised the shield in front of the back seat to avoid the light in her.
“If you are tired, rest first. It is nearly an hour away from our destination.”
Elisa nodded, swept his lipstick-stained collar, and said, “Next time you want to be with the woman you want to protect, won’t you leave any traces? My nominal Mrs. Brich will be embarrassed.”
William feasted and touched his collar along with his eyes. In an instant, he thought of who left the mark on it, and his heart jumped up with displeasure. What made him more unhappy was Elisa’s reaction.
“You’re not angry?”
“I want to be angry, but I find that my position is not enough.” Elisa said frankly, “If I get angry and you and your girlfriend unite to designate me, I can’t get along.”
William heard what she said, he was too lazy to take care of her, he didn’t understand how the woman’s brain circuit could be so strange.
Neither of them spoke again.
Elisa looked out of the window at the neon-lit street and said in her heart that it was impossible not to feel uncomfortable. She had expectations for her married life before, and as a result, she was poured cold water at a wedding.

After driving for an hour, the car stopped in front of a villa.
Elisa opened the door and got out of the car, only to find that it was not the villa she came to last time.
There was no light around, which was obviously no person Inside.
The driver sent their luggage to the villa and drove away.
Only William and Elisa were left in the huge villa.
Elisa was a little nervous. She moved her complicated dress. “I’ll change my clothes.”
When she finished saying that, she also did not wait for William to answer, just took her suitcase upstairs.
Elisa pushed open the nearest room from the stairs at will and turned on the lights before discovering that it was actually a Masters Bedroom.
Bright red curtains and bed quilts, with great love made of rose petals.
Elisa was not in the mood to appreciate those things, and she was too lazy to feel sorry for herself.
After quickly changing into a loose home suit, she untied her hair, bunned her head at will, and went downstairs.
Downstairs, William was already sitting on the sofa, and there were several bottles of wine on the coffee table in front of him.
Elisa walked opposite to him and sat down.
William poured her a glass of champagne, which ladies like relatively, and pushed it to Elisa.
Elisa didn’t mention it and took a sip. “Everyone knows about our marriage in Australia. What should I do in the future? You can make it clear now that there are others that need your attention.”
“Your reaction is really special.”
“Isn’t the lipstick mark on your collar for me to see? Such an obvious hint, I can’t say it if I don’t understand it.”
William’s slender fingers played with the crystal clear goblet and then took out a contract from behind. “You signed this.”
“What is this?”
“Transfer of shares of Brich Group.”
Elisa looked at him in surprise. “You, I… why are you giving me shares?”
“You have become my wife reluctantly. Is it appropriate for me not to give you some spiritual compensation?” William said, smiling.
Elisa didn’t bother to look at it, so she turned to the last page and signed her name.
After signing, she casually asked,”William, how much money did you give me?”
“Two hundred million.”
“Two, two hundred million?!” Elisa widened her eyes and looked at the contract she signed. “Can this signature be invalid?”
“No. I’ll hand it over to my assistant tomorrow, and the money will be on your account in the afternoon.”
“No. William, it’s not that I regard money as dirt, but you don’t have to give me so much money. That amount is useless in my hands. Can you not be so scary?”
“You deserve it.”
Elisa closed the contract and patted her chest. “I can’t understand rich people. Then tell me about my obligations. What do I need to do? Do I need to take care of Bruce and find a way to make his symptoms better? I can’t promise you these.”
“Don’t you ask for anything?” William saw that she didn’t have too many reactions because of the two hundred million, and some appreciation in her heart.
“My request has been said before. If in the future, we are not together, I hope no one would embarrass me and my parents too much. Aside from that, it is my job, and I don’t want to give up. I used to be a resident, and my work and rest time was unspayed. Now my title as an attending doctor has come down, and my working hours are no different from other jobs in most cases, which will not affect my care for Bruce. The others are gone for the time being.” After Elisa finished, she took another sip of champagne.” Tell me about yours. Is the owner of the lip print on your collar the one you really love? Who is she? When I meet her later, should I avoid or act with you?”
Elisa’s face was calm on the surface, but her heart was uncomforted.
