After an unpleasant visit from Jeremy's family, Lie preferred to stay focused on work and continue working.
Danil came over to his beloved woman who was focused in front of the laptop screen right in Lie's private work room.
”Honey, can we just talk for a moment? Sorry if I disturbed your focus." Danil said, as he hugged Lie's slender hips and inhaled the soothing scent of Lie's body.
Lie stopped her work and stood up. "Speak," said Lie with a smiling face, the two of them walked towards the sofa in Lie's study.
“Drink it while it's warm, and don't push yourself too hard.” said Danil, while giving Lie a glass of pregnancy chocolate milk.
”Thank you for your concern, husband.” Lie said with a gentle smile.
Danil took a deep breath before each word emerged from his mouth.
"I'm really sorry for what happened today. "I didn't expect that Granny would commit acts of violence against you... if only I had arrived earlier," said Danil, with teary eyes.
Instead of wanting to make Lie happy after officially becoming his wife, in reality it actually made his family act harshly towards Lie. This really made Danil sad.
“You shouldn't apologize for something that wasn't your fault. "Granny was the one who hit me in the face, not you," said Lie, Danil's tough woman.
"I promised you and myself... that I would continue to make you happy, but in fact you actually received this unpleasant thing."
“As happy as a couple is, none of them is perfect. I got a man who really wants and loves me, but I also can't be lulled by all that comfort. Maybe, we really have to go through this, to achieve happiness." Lie said calming Danil.
"From now on, I will not allow anyone who has the potential to harm you to come near you. Even if it's my own family, I really can't accept all of that.” Danil stressed, while gently stroking Lie's face.
Lie accepted the touch of Danil's hand and kissed Danil's palm. "If it's like that, then your family will think that I control my husband too much."
"Do not love. You are my family now, the one I have to look up to. My family is indeed where I grew up, but that doesn't mean they have the right to hurt my precious wife." Danil hugged Lie, then lay on Lie's lap, while stroking Lie's bulging stomach.

”Osmond Mansion”
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yu/ Danil's grandmother came to visit to meet Mrs. Osmond.
“What made Madam Yu come to our residence?” said Mrs. Osmond, while smoking a cigarette.
“I just want you to help these helpless parents.” Said Mrs. Yu while sipping the warm tea available on the table.
“What else should I do and what will be in it for me?” replied Mrs. Os by sitting cross-legged.
"Lie Levrado, the woman who was once your daughter-in-law. Aren't you worried about this unexpected thing?”
"Lie Levrado just married your grandson, Doctor Danil?" Mrs. Os put out her cigarette into the ashtray..
"That woman has even looked after my child very well, and also doesn't claim any rights to my child's inheritance. If remarrying can make her happy, why not?"
"You just kept quiet, even if that woman was playing with fire behind her late husband's back?" Mrs. Yu looked angry and continued to provoke Mrs. Os.
“What are you talking about this time? Do you realize that if I have a grudge against Lie, who is married to Danil, then I will destroy both of them!" Mrs. Os is absurdly angry.
”Not my granddaughter, but that bitch who should bear everything!” Said Mrs. Yu is still consistent with her provocations.
”So you mean, Lie is in charge of everything!”
"Of course. I really want the bitch who ruined my granddaughter to disappear!”
Seeing Mrs. Yu at this time, of course, her heart was filled with revenge towards the figure of Lie. Speaks as if he knows everything about Lie and Lie's long suffering so far.

A few weeks later...
News spread about Lie, that Lie had thwarted the engagement between Doctor Danil and Claudy. Not only that, Lie is also considered a parasite who has ruined her household and the life of a single young man.'
That was the news that managed to shock the public as well as people who still knew Lie.
•City Ads Company•
Lie, who was focused on work, was suddenly surprised by a group of journalists who wanted to interview him outside the company building where Lie currently worked. Because it coincided with today, Lie had to attend an important meeting with company clients.
"Haven't I moved countries? Why do I have to experience all this..." Lie thought anxiously, when he had to face this reality.
”Madam Lie, are they the people who are looking for you?” asked one of Lie's superiors.
“Ah, it seems that just a few words of explanation are not enough. I'll excuse myself, sir." Lie said.
"Okay Lie." Reply the boss.
Lie walked towards the main lobby, and there was already a group of journalists there
"It looks like someone is mobilizing them to cover me..." thought Lie.
”Madam Lie! Madam Lie! Is it true, you have remarried a single man?"
"Is it true that Madam was involved in a scandal regarding Jeremy's family's engagement?"
Lie was criticized by sharing questions that cornered him. However, as someone who is used to media crews, Lie certainly doesn't have too much difficulty with this.
“I cannot satisfy you with my answer. I have even changed citizenship from my home country, just for the peace of my new life. So, how can an ordinary person get attention from other countries, just because of his domestic problems? Are you paid millions of dollars just for news that is not necessarily true?" Lie said with an affirmation that was able to silence the paid journalists.
“Of course Madam. Didn't Madam once make a conglomerate man his wife? Isn't this normal for Madam's life?"
“Well, I understand what you're talking about and what your real goal is. However, if you are truly a journalist with the right code of ethics. At least, you know what to do with my new life this time. Who is the one who suffers the most? Both mentally and physically, I'm completely finished. So, you really want to bring back the story of my past sufferings?" Lie emphasized, who was quite angry.
A few moments later...
Danil suddenly appeared in the middle of the exclusive interview.
"My wife is currently pregnant. If you are still pressuring my wife with questions or statements that bring up old wounds. You could end up in big trouble later.” Danil said firmly, disbanding.
"Sir Danil, aren't you Miss Claudy's fiancé?" said one of the journalists.
Ugh... Lie screamed, suddenly feeling cramps in her stomach area.
"Can't you read the condition of a pregnant woman! Your actions are really bad! Who mobilized you will soon be known. Remember well, this will not be easy for your career path!" Danil stressed, then took Lie into the car, of course with the approval of Lie's superiors.
Lie and Danil went in Danil's private car. Lie looked very tired and pale. This suddenly made Danil even more worried, and he rushed to take Lie to the doctor.
"Honey, hold on a little longer, okay!" Danil said worriedly, seeing Lie's current bad condition.
Bzzttt...
"Hello!"
"Danil quickly return to city A. Granny is in a very bad condition..." said someone from behind the call.
Danil is hit by a big dilemma, and it is impossible to ignore or even have to choose between his two precious people.
