Chapter 1

"Morwenna, honey, take good care of yourself."

"Morwenna, you don't need to give all your scholarship money to Hope Elementary. You're going tocollege at Rosefrost Hollow, and let me tell you, it’s nothing like our little mountain town. I hear thetuition and living costs are sky-high."

The simple-hearted villagers in the secluded mountains were bidding farewell to a lovely young girl.

The girl was in the typical attire of a less fortunate young woman, wearing a white T-shirt paired withfaded blue jeans.

She had her long hair tied back in a high ponytail, and her bright eyes and well-defined nosecomplemented her delicate, slightly chubby face, making her look charmingly soft and adorable.

With a big backpack and various pieces of luggage, Morwenna Winslet boarded the bus heading tothe city. She sat by the window, waving at everyone with a radiant smile.

"See ya, everyone! And please tell Principal Johnson to keep our school going a bit more. The kidscan’t miss out on education. As soon as I'm making money, I'll contribute to the school."

Having grown up in the mountain town, Morwenna had earned a place at Rosefrost HollowUniversity and was leaving her rural life behind.

With some time left before the semester started, she hurried to Rosefrost Hollow to meet NorbertHetfield, who had funded her education for years.

And incidentally, she was to marry his good-for-nothing grandson.

Morwenna took a two-day train ride in economy class to Rosefrost Hollow to save money.novelbin

At the agreed spot, she met Norbert Hetfield, dressed in a dignified suit, looking as kind-hearted asshe had imagined.

Norbert, grinning from ear to ear, asked, "Wenna, are you totally sure you want to marry my good-for-nothing grandson?"

Without hesitation, Morwenna slapped her chest confidently and declared, “Absolutely!”

She had thought it through. A favor as big as the ocean deserved a grand gesture in return.

Norbert had been funding education in the mountain town for decades, and she was one of thebeneficiaries. Such a huge debt of gratitude needed to be repaid.

Norbert often complained about his grandson being a complete letdown, a 28-year-old man whowasn’t married, which seemed rather pitiful.

She felt a strong need to help Norbert out.

After all, many in her village got married after just a brief introduction, so marrying a stranger didn’tseem so unusual to her.

Norbert was increasingly pleased with her. He had funded mountain schools and watched her growup. She was kind, beautiful, clever, and ready to marry his grandson. He decisively announced,“Wenna, if you've already decided, why not get hitched to him right away?”

“Today?”

“Yeah. What do you think?”

Determined not to let his grandson back out after finally agreeing to marry, Norbert saw no point indelaying. They might as well get it done immediately!

Thirty minutes later, they arrived at the city hall.

Morwenna met Norbert’s so-called worthless grandson, Stuart Hetfield.

For a moment, Morwenna was bewildered. Weren’t useless men supposed to be incapable ofanything substantial, like the guy back in her village who couldn’t farm or even manage chickensproperly?

But here was Stuart, unexpectedly handsome.

In her entire village, she'd never spotted a man as attractive as him. His hair seemed to have a glowto it, even though he looked a bit moody.

Morwenna smiled politely at Stuart.

Radiating a 'keep out' vibe, Stuart scrutinized Morwenna with scrutiny and disdain. The woman hadmanaged to get his grandfather to coerce him into marriage.

Under Norbert's urging, they walked into the city hall.

The clerks could feel Stuart's impatience and hesitantly asked, “Are you sure you want to proceedwith the marriage?”

Stuart’s icy gaze was enough to send a chill down their spines.

Thump! The stamp came down.

And just like that, they got married
