Being His Grudging Wife
After transmigrating into a supporting character in a popular novel, Emily Thompson is determined to survive and avoid the tragic fate that awaits her. Her husband, a wealthy and distant man named Alex Sterling, barely acknowledges her existence, which suits Emily just fine. However, things take an unexpected turn when Alex starts to show an unusual interest in her. Emily is thrown into confusion: "Mr. Sterling, please don't disturb my blissful life where 'husband only gives money but doesn't come home'!!" Alex, equally perplexed, retorts, "Is there a possibility that the husband coming home gives more money?" Emily is left speechless.Chapter 1: The Mistress Comes to Challenge
Growing up, Emily Thompson wasnt allowed to date by her parents. As an adult, she finds herself in a marriage where her husband discourages love. Being a woman is truly challenging, and it seems a life full of regrets.
At ten oclock in the evening, in a villa in Washington City, Emily is interrupted by the persistent ringing of the doorbell. She gathers her silk nightgown and heads towards the door.
Upon opening it, she finds a man leaning against the door frame, reeking of alcohol. His white shirt is unbuttoned at the top, revealing a sexy Adams apple and a sharply defined jawline, all leading up to a face with a mix of cold severity.
Emily looks up and locks eyes with the man, whose gaze is as sharp as ink. This is her husband鈥擜lex Sterling, and he is indeed good-looking!
"Move aside," Alex commands, his eyes on Emily as if she were a stranger.
Without a word, Emily steps aside and lets him in. Alex stumbles into the house, followed by a sexy woman who tries to follow.
Emily stops her, scrutinizing her. "And you are?"
The woman clears her throat and proudly presents the suit jacket shes holding, belonging to Alex. "Hello, Im the new assistant recently promoted to Mr. Sterlings side. My name is Yvonne."
Emily responds with a simple, "Oh," and asks, "What can I do for you?"
"Before the dinner party, Mr. Sterling specifically instructed me to ensure he gets home safely," Yvonne emphasizes the word specifically.
The sound of Alex retching behind them makes Emilys scalp tingle. Dealing with a drunkard is not her forte! Seeing Yvonnes eagerness, Emily hands her the jacket. "Since Mr. Sterling specifically asked, you shouldnt be idle. Hurry up and take care of him."
Yvonne, already in battle mode, is caught off guard by Emilys generosity but seizes the opportunity, saying, "Okay," and dutifully approaches Alex.
Alex, tall and heavily intoxicated, is heavier than a dead weight. Watching Yvonne struggle under his weight, Emily feels a touch of admiration鈥攇irls helping girls, there are still good people in this world!
Having transmigrated just three days ago, Emily encounters such kindness so soon.
In her past life, she suffered, dying young of cancer. She thought that was the end, but upon closing and reopening her eyes, she found herself in a book!
Unfortunately, she didnt anticipate transmigrating and didnt memorize the entire story, but she spent three days understanding her current situation.
She became a tragic, short-lived supporting character in a popular novel, full of misery and an early death.
Thinking about it, Emily takes a deep breath.
