Chapter 5
Shawn and I were assigned to the most remote room in the Bradley’s. residence.
The small room was simply furnished.
It was obvious that the only thing new in the room was the large bed.
Shawn’s older brother, Harvey Bradley, stood at the door without explaining why.
I casually asked, “Did Shawn always live here?”
Unexpectedly, that offhand question raised Harvey’s guard

“You’re new here, so I’ll give you a piece of advice–watch your words. and actions in this house. A true wealthy family is nothing like your family, with its lack of rules.”
No wonder people say marrying into a wealthy family is like sinking into the sea–it seems true.
At this moment, Shawn, who had been playing with toys nearby, suddenly went wild, throwing an entire box at me over and over.
“Hate it! Hate it! I don’t like her! Make her leave!”
Harvey frowned and pinned him to the bed, shouting angrily, “Stop it! She’s your wife!
“Do you remember what I taught you? You have to sleep with her and

have a child as soon as possible.”
A bad feeling instantly rose in my heart. “Mr. Bradley, what do you. mean by that?”
“Nothing. Just go ahead and have a baby–I’ll raise the child. Alright, it’s late, you two should rest.”
With that, he strode out.
It had only been one day since I entered the family, and I had already sensed all kinds of strange things.
The Bradley family really was different from the Sullivan family. At least the Sullivan family’s nastiness was out in the open, while everything here was hidden in the dark.
Honestly, although I agreed to marry the idiot, it was just to find some peace, without so much scheming.
I never thought I’d really have to be intimate with him.
I looked at the bed, then at Shawn sitting on the floor, timidly watching me, and sighed.
“You sleep on the bed, I’ll sleep on the floor.”
After speaking, I went to the cabinet and took out extra bedding to make a floor bed.
Just as I finished laying it out, before I could do anything, Shawn jumped into the bed first.
“The floor is fun. I want to sleep on the floor!”

I tried persuading him for a long time, but couldn’t change his mind, so I just lay down on the bed myself.
I was too tired–physically and mentally. These past few days had drained me, and I needed proper rest to think about how to move forward.
What I didn’t expect was that Shawn actually slept very peacefully.
And I, too, had an unusually restful sleep–perhaps the best since I got out of prison.
Just like that, three days passed. It was time for the return visit.
Harvey appeared in front of us right on time.
“Today is the return visit. Mom and Dad are on vacation abroad, and I’ve got things to handle at the company. The car and gifts are arranged -go back on your own.”
I didn’t tell him I had already severed ties with the Sullivan family.
Not wanting to complicate things, I simply nodded.
After he left, I dressed Shawn in a casual outfit and tidied him up, only then realizing how tall he was.
He was at least 180 cm, and when expressionless, his face looked. especially handsome, but also sharp like a knife, as if it could pierce. someone at any moment.
I adjusted his collar and sighed as I said, “If you weren’t an idiot, your brother would probably see you as his biggest threat.”
His hand suddenly paused, and then he smiled foolishly again. “Play!
