She shook...
"Congratulations, two months of pregnant ."
Doctor's comments lingered in her head after leaving the hospital.
She found out when she went to the hospital without telling Elizebeth. She was confused and upset. She instantly massaged her stomach.
Despite being astonished and embarrassed, she wouldn't give up the kid. First-time motherhood brought too much love and optimism.
She seemed confused.
Ada concealed the baby's sonogram before entering the home she and her mother were living in. When she saw Alfred, her mood sank.
Alfred didn't appear happy, and she seemed to have kept him waiting. He snarled as she entered. "Clean up." Ada sighs.
“Why?”
Since you're marrying the oldest Greenburg son, you must meet him.
"Are you going to meet him in that outfit? Are you humiliating me?"s he became numb after selling herself and losing her sibling.
The agony returned as she heard Alfred's hurtful comments. He transported her and her mother to a poor nation and then abandoned her.
What more could she have done? Having money would have prevented her brother's death from delayed care. Her fists clinched at her sides. Alfred's face shifted when he realized what he said. "Go. We can't keep the Greenburgs waiting.
Ada..."
Elizebeth concerned about Ada and wanted to cancel the wedding.
She lost her son and wanted to care for her daughter.
She didn't know what type of guy the Greenburgs' oldest son was. She worried.
Ada reassured her. "Go"
Alfred pressed her. He pushed Ada, afraid she'd alter her mind.
Alfred brought Ada to an exclusive store to purchase her a frock before meeting the Greenburgs. A salesman met them at the shop. Alfred told Ada to get her something to wear.
The salesman sized her up and said, "Follow me." She gave Ada a long, sky blue dress.
"Try on in the dressing room." Ada reluctantly took the outfit to the changing room. From the door gap, she saw a lady placing her arms around a man's neck. "Can't you marry anothe woman ?
William Greenburg eyed the lady helplessly. His lat mother planned the marriage, so he couldn't refuse. He couldn't disappoint Jean after that night, however. He inquired, "Are you comfotable last night?"
He was drugged one night, and needed a woman to vent out,
Jean White helped him. During that period, he struggled to restrain himself. He hadn't enjoyed their first time together because of his tremendous desire. He didn't realize how difficult that was for her.
The only sign of her agony was how much she shook in his arms afterward. William knew Jean liked him. Never gave her a chance.
He didn't love her. His mother organized his marriage. Jean stayed at his side silently, nevertheless. Since then, he's wanted to recognize Jean.
He remembered the b****y pool after the i*********e. Jean hugged him. She dropped her eyes and muttered.
She was William's secretary and admired him. She was no longer virgin, but she couldn't ell William.
She understood how much men valued virginity. She spent a lot of money that night to find a virgin to offer to William. Jean pretended to be her when the girl departed. "If you like these outfits, purchase more,"
Ada was reprimanded.
In an expensive store, they separated each changing room and had a VIP area. A separate lobby was available for friends to relax. Ada groaned and went right. She thought about the couple while changing. The Woods were mentioned. Could he be...
That clothing is flattering. It's your style." The saleswoman had excellent fashion sense and could choose items that fit consumers just glancing at them. Ada's skin seemed whiter in her long light blue dress.
Her waistband ribbon emphasized her thin physique. Underweight made her seem fragile.
Alfred proceeded to pay for the outfit. He later found the outfit cost $100,000. Alfred paid since she was meeting the Greenburgs. He then scolded Ada.
"Go."
Ada sensed his harshness as a kid and after dad abandoned her, but his indifference made her uncomfortable and hurt her heart. She followed him to thecar . The car arrived at the Wood villa after a silent trip.
The driver helped Alfred. Alfred and Ada exited the car . Ada was trancelike in front of the villa. While she and her mother struggled due to her brother's illness, her father lived in a magnificent villa with another lady. Ada fist-clenched.
"What are you doing?"
Alfred turned and saw Ada's stunned gaze as she stood at the door.
Alfred let Ada wait in the living room after maids said the Greenburgs hadn't come.
They put a violin beside the living room's French window. German-made Se
Ada's mom got it for her fourth birthday.
Ada hadn't played since Alfred sent them away.
She touched it, feeling familiar and eager. Her fingers were stiff from inactivity.
A voice from behind said, "Who let you touch my ?" Ada turned to see Tannu Wood clenching her fists.
Tannu was 15 months younger. She inherited her mother's beauty.
She appeared fierce with her distorted face.
Even Ada's violin was theirs?
Ada tightened her hands and told herself not to behave impulsively. She had to wait to reclaim her and her mother's possessions.
"Ada Wood...?"
Tannu recalled that today was the Greenburgs' arrival and that her father had brought Ada and her mother back.
Tannu remembered Ada's pity when Alfred sent them overseas. She begged Alfred not to send her away on her knees.
Tannu sneered at Ada, crossed her arms and stared with scorn. "Don't be joyful, for Dad brought you back so you'd marry the Greenburg son instead of me. The son—” Tannu laughed as she said. She gloated at Ada's misfortune in marrying a crippled guy.
Marrying him would wreck her life. Ada frowned, but a maid interrupted her. "Greenburgs are here."
Alfred greeted them at the door and brought them in. Ada observed a wheelchair-bound guy enter. He had attractive looks. Nobody showed him scorn despite his wheelchair.
Nobody showed him scorn despite his wheelchair. Ada recognized him as the guy flirting with the boutique lady. Was he Greenburg's eldest?
Alfred summoned Ada over while she pondered why William was acting impaired
. "This is Greenburg's oldest son."
Alfred bowed and a woman gave him a chair to match William's height. Mr. Greenburg was a handsome, dignified guy had become crippled.
