rub yesterday.
Harrison Cole was insane!
So the whole “gay” thing was a lie!
I suddenly understood.
Both Harrison brothers were liars.
Should I run away?
Should I take my sister with me?
As soon as I had this thought, Old Man
Harrison transferred another huge sum of
money to my account.
I stared at the number, counting it slowly.
Another hundred million dollars.
“Evelyn, you’ve worked hard taking care of
Harrison. This is a reward.”
What the…?
Why run?
I could never find a better job.
Who else could make a hundred million
dollars so easily?
No way. I’m staying.
<
I’ll treat Harrison Hayes like my boss.
I’ll serve him devotedly!
Even in bed!
He’s the best!
LO
The money is secondary.
Mostly, it’s Harrison Hayes‘ face.
As soon as I had this thought, I berated
myself.
Yes, that’s right.
Harrison Hayes is the best man in the world!
Even…
Even if he gets up?
No!
He can’t get up!
The day after I kissed him, he was like a frog
kissed by a princess, transformed into a
prince.
He got up the next day.
I was shocked.
<
I almost fainted.
Me, Evelyn.
Why me?!
I just wanted a helpless husband I could
control, why was this so hard?!
I was supposed to make easy money!
He got up!
What do I do now?!
Does that mean I have responsibilities now?!
Like… you know… with Harrison Hayes?
Thinking about Harrison Hayes‘ face…
I almost blurted out, “Yes, I can.”
I could…
But this is so different from what I planned!
Old Man Harrison thought it was all my doing
that Harrison Hayes stood again.
He rewarded me with three more mansions!
I became a super–rich woman!
But my joy was short–lived.
Old Man Harrison told me a secret.
<
Harrison Hayes was never really sick. His legs
were healed after the accident.
He just had some emotional baggage.
That’s why he didn’t want to walk.
Thinking I’d get to know my husband better, I
wanted to understand him.
Then I heard the last thing I wanted to hear.
Old Man Harrison said…
Harrison Hayes used to love a girl…
Chapter 2
But that girl didn’t like him. She wouldn’t even
look at him.
She saved his life, but she was with someone
else.
So Harrison Hayes stayed in his wheelchair.
He refused to stand.
Such a lovesick man, such a tragic story.
If I weren’t the wife of the protagonist of this
story…
I would have cried over their beautiful,
<
doomed love.
But, unfortunately, I am the wife of this
lovesick protagonist.
And I am crying.
But not from emotion. From utter, complete
despair.
Ugh. Making money is so hard.
I wandered the manor gardens, feeling utterly
miserable.
Then I realized something even more
terrifying.
I think I’m falling for Harrison Hayes.
He’s quiet, but gentle.
He even lets me take advantage of him
without complaint.
Then I ran into my sister. She looked even
more miserable than I did.
‘Jess, do you think men are all liars?”
“Yes! They’re all liars!”
My sister leaned against a wall, looking
く
dejected.
“Grandpa said Harrison Cole avoided women
because of some unrequited love from his
past. Grandpa thought that’s why he became,
you know… But I ‘fixed‘ him.”
“But sis, do you know how awful I feel? The
man I sleep with is secretly pining for another
woman.”
“I know.”
Sisters share a bond.
We looked at each other.
My sister gasped. “You too! Harrison Hayes
has someone else too!”
I felt a surge of injustice.
Under the stars, we huddled together and
sobbed.
“Bastard! He has another woman and still
married me!”
“Jerk! He has another woman and still slept
with me!”
<
We cursed them both relentlessly.
We sisters, married into the same family.
Married to brothers.
And both our husbands had unrequited loves.
Could there be anyone more unlucky than us? “Sis, I can’t do this anymore!”
My sister was furious.
Then we noticed Old Man Harrison had
transferred the deed to a vineyard to each of
- us.
A consolation prize, he said.
We looked at each other.
Well… maybe this isn’t so bad after all.
