Chapter 1
In the Levine manor at Norham, Katherine Xander was about to go upstairs.
As the banquet was about to begin, she wanted to invite her grandfather–in–law, Maxwell Levine, to
come downstairs.
Shortly after, she arrived in front of the door of his study. Seeing that it was half–closed, she prepared
to knock on it.
Just then, she heard the old man’s solemn voice traveling from the study.
“Christopher, you and Katherine have been married for two years. Don’t you think you should have
children by now? You’re not young anymore. It’s time you consider having a child.”
After hearing Maxwell’s words, Katherine finally understood why she had not seen her husband,
Christopher Levine, the entire night. He had been in the old man’s study the whole time.
Katherine knew it was rude to cavesdrop on other people’s conversations.
However, she found herself rooted to her spot and wanted to hear Christopher’s
answer
Then, a cold and indifferent voice sounded, “A woman who’s not loved by me doesn’t deserve to
conceive my child.”
The color instantly drained from Katherine’s face, and a chill washed over her broken heart.
Unexpectedly, as if that wasn’t enough, Christopher added in an annoyed tone, “Grandpa, I’ve already
done what all of you wanted and married Katherine, but if you want me to have a child with her. I’m
afraid I can’t do that. Today, I’m going to make it clear to you that Katherine and I will never have a child
in this lifetime”
With that, he marched to head out of the room.
Maxwell was utterly enraged, and he yelled at him loudly. “You rascal! You’ve become quite the rebel,
huh?” He threw the cane he was holding toward the door for good
measure.
Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching the door of the study, Katherine hid in the guest room next
door frantically. However, as she walked too quickly, she accidentally bumped into the doorknob.
She endured the pain, not daring to make a sound. Unable to contain the misery in her

It was another pregnancy slip sent to her phone from her husband’s mistress, Kiara Assheton, stating
that Kiara was eight weeks pregnant.
and
The text also contained a message from Kiara that was written mockingly: “Katherine. why won’t you
just admit defeat? You’ve been married to Christopher for two years. he still doesn’t love you. So what
if you were married into a wealthy family? All you have is Old Mr. Levine’s support. Sure, you managed
to secure Christopher, but you don’t have his heart. If I were you, I would’ve disappeared long ago. I
bet you’re the only person in the world who can live so pathetically. Old Mr. Levine always regarded
children with great importance. Once Christopher divorces you, I doubt Old Mr. Levine will stop me
from joining the family.”
Kiara’s text was written to provoke and express how smug she was regarding Katherine’s
misfortune.
It was true that Katherine liked Christopher.
Unfortunately, it was only after the wedding that she found out his heart already belonged to someone
else.
On the night of the wedding, she was left alone in the room.
However, her husband was out with the celebrity, Kiara, the whole time. He was totally not bothered
about the fact that he was already married
Back then, Katherine was filled with expectations and longing for the future. She wanted to bear his two
children, quit her job, and focus on being a full time housewife. This was all so that he could focus on
his work without any worries.

He soon came to the guest room beside the study and pushed the door open forcefully. making a loud
sound.
Hearing the sound, Katherine sensed that danger was coming and staggered a few steps backward as
she wiped the tears off her face.
Through her tears, she saw a blurry image of a stern–looking man approaching her. It was her
husband, Christopher.
The man’s expression was cold and indifferent. He was dressed in a tailor–made black

and white suit with silver cuts,
“Katherine Xander, you’re really getting bolder by the day, aren’t you? How dare you use Grandpa’s
support and make him pressure me to have a baby with you? Looks like your tricks have improved over
the past two years, eh?” he raged.
Just as Katherine was about to say something, he continued, “Two years ago, you played a cheap trick
by crawling into my bed so you can be my wife. What now? You want to elevate your status by being
pregnant so you can stay in the Levine family forever. Am I right?”
Katherine paled as she bit her lip furiously. “I don’t care whether you believe me or no
not. I’m telling you I didn’t do it!”
“How dare you still argue after all you’ve done? If you didn’t do it, why are you hiding here? You’re
clearly feeling guilty for eavesdropping on my conversation with Grandpa!”
Katherine opened her mouth to retort, but she did not have the strength to do so. In fact, even if she
had a dozen mouths, there was no way she could explain herself.
Christopher merely stared at her pitiful face with contempt.
“Well, I guess it’s fine if you eavesdropped. This way, I don’t have to waste my breath repeating
everything to you. I’m sure you’re well aware of my character. So, you want to have a baby with me?
Well, you, Katherine, are not worthy.”
At that moment, he looked like a devil who had risen from hell. His words were like sharp daggers that
slashed at Katherine’s heart repeatedly. Yet, no matter how painful it felt, she had to endure it.
Her fingernails dug deep into her palms, but she felt no pain.
In truth, Katherine was a smart person. She knew from the night of their wedding that

Christopher did not love her.
He merely treated her with indifference.
This was his first time getting into a fight with her, roaring like a beast.
As he kept repeating the two words “not worthy” in her face, she felt those words were like arrows that
shot into her heart.
For the past two years, she had carefully done everything to fulfill her duties as his wife to the best of
her abilities.
Being the foolish person she was, she thought he would develop feelings for her one day. She thought
that as long as she made some sacrifices, she could warm his cold heart.
Little did she expect that he would hate her more after two years, which totaled over 600 days.
Nonetheless, she was reluctant to give up, and her obsession with him had not faded.
Realizing they were about to part ways soon, she wanted to get a definite answer from
him.
“Christopher, have you ever loved me for the past two years? Even just a little? Or for even a single
second?”
As soon as the question left her lips, she felt like a ridiculous joke. She knew she was. obviously
humiliating herself, and her entire b*dy trembled uncontrollably.
Even so, she still wanted to hear his answer.
At that moment, Christopher found her really odd. Not only was she not crying and making a fuss, but
she was also asking a question that had an obvious answer.
He did not want to give her a direct answer either. Rather, he responded with indifference and disdain,
“What do you think, my dear wife?”
In reality, Katherine’s act of asking such a silly and dumb question was her way of holding onto the last
straw of hope.
Naturally, she had expected such an answer from him.
She was just trying to numb herself and was like an ostrich that did not want to face the reality.
As long as his answer was definite, even if there was a slight hesitance in his answer, she would not
hesitate to remain and continue battling with his mistress.
