Chapter 8
Could it be that Jackson fell in love with Rosella because of this?
I almost couldn’t hold back my laughter–Jackson’s whole life turned out to be just a series of misunderstandings. I was excited to see his reaction once he learned the full truth.
Unknowingly, I realized I had been sitting in the bathroom for over an
hour.
But it was unusually quiet outside, and I suddenly panicked and rushed out.
I found that Shawn had already fallen asleep on the floor with a
blanket in his arms.
The way he slept so peacefully even seemed a little cute.
I reached out to gently stroke his hair and couldn’t help but sigh. “He’s two years younger than me. Just what kind of heavy blow did he suffer to end up like this?” I thought.
The investigation report from the private detective also included. information about the Bradley family.
He was the son of the head of the Bradley family and his first wife. But when he turned 18, his dad brought home Harvey, who was five years older, along with a woman.
After they arrived at the Bradley’s residence, Shawn’s mom suddenly died of illness. Soon after, his dad married that woman, and Shawn

was then sent abroad to study.
When he came back from overseas, he had become like this.
At this moment, someone knocked on our door. Shawn immediately sat up and ran to open it.
He took two glasses of milk from the maid, handed one to me, and drank the other in one go.
“It tastes good. Drink it.”
From the first day I entered the Bradley family, this was something he did every night without fail.
He wanted me to drink milk with him.
But this time, I didn’t drink it. I poured it straight into the trash can.
Then I sat down seriously on the chair.
“Too many sleeping pills will make you stupid. I don’t want to drink it
anymore.”
His expression turned grim, but then he pretended to act foolish again, pulling my hand and spinning me around in circles until we ended up
in the bathroom.
He immediately closed the door and turned on the faucet.
And just like that, the silly expression on his face vanished.
“You’re very smart.”
I sneered. “No, I’m very stupid. You told me to escape on the very first

day, but I still foolishly walked into this trap.”
“No choice. Even if you want to escape now, you can’t. Because…”
My pupils instantly widened–I realized something was very wrong with him. His body was unnaturally hot, and even his breathing had grown heavy.
When I looked down at his lower body, I immediately understood.
“There was an aphrodisiac in the milk!”
He let out low, suppressed groans from his throat.
“Yes. Harvey wants you to have a child with me.”
“Why?”
“He’s infertile, so once we have a child, he’ll immediately adopt it under his name.”
I gave a bitter smile. “So I’m not just here to be a wife to a fool–I’m also a surrogate.”
By now, he was in extreme discomfort, and with the two of us in this cramped space, the atmosphere grew incredibly charged.
The next second, he suddenly pushed me away and turned on the shower, letting the cold water pour over him.
I quickly shut off the faucet.
“You’ll hurt your body like this.”
He growled in frustration, his voice low and angry. “Then what should

I do?”
I grabbed his collar and pulled him against my chest.
Looking seriously into his eyes, I said, “I swore since I was a child-
once I get married, I’ll never get divorced! Remember this: I’m yours now. If you betray me, I’ll kill you!”
Then I kissed him.
