Stunned, Grayson hastily tossed the pill away. With a dark expression, he asked Belle, "What do you mean by this?"Glaring at him, Belle said, "You have a questionable character, so I can't trust you. I can't live with you anymore! You either move out or become infertile so that you won't hurt me anymore! Now, make your choice!"Pursing his thin lips, Grayson spoke in an upset tone."You're going too far, Belle! Indeed, I was the one at fault tonight, but I apologized and bought you milkshakes. That's sincere enough, right? Also, I already said that I did it because—""No more nonsense! I don't want to hear any of it! Make your choice! If not, I can help you choose," Belle interrupted him coldly.Seeing her determined attitude and refusal to listen, Grayson got mad."I'm not taking the pill and not moving out! What can you do about it?"With that, Grayson got up and walked toward the study. He gave up on explaining the situation. He no longer wanted to please her either.He had
"I'm going to die if I were to stand there and endure her hits!" scoffed Grayson.Finneas replied, "Of course not, Belle wouldn't actually kill you!""She may not kill me, but she intended to sterilize me!" Grayson angrily explained.Finneas lifted his cane and knocked at Grayson for talking back at him. He was none the wiser about the drug."How shameless would you be if you were to fight back against your own wife? You must've provoked her a lot for someone like Belle to hit you in the first place."Grayson just gritted his teeth in anger."I've already apologized right after I upset her. Yet, she still held onto the grudge!""Shut it, you!" Finneas waved his cane in the air. "Good for you to admit your fault. But you shouldn't complain about her not accepting your apologies! I think it was probably your attitude and your lack of self-reflection during your apology!"I—""Shut it, you!"After Finneas fiercely reprimanded Grayson for his actions, he turned toward Belle, and
The following day, Xenia arrived early as usual. To her surprise, neither Grayson nor Belle were at home."Where did they go?"Meredith greeted Xenia while refraining from giving out too much information. She was unaware of what had happened last night, but she easily noticed that the couple were in a bad mood in the early morning."I don't know. Mr. Page and Ms. Walters had left the premises earlier. They had not told anyone where they had gone," said Meredith.Xenia replied, "Grayson never mentioned canceling the dance lessons for today either."Meredith then added, "Perhaps Mr. Page has forgotten."Xenia frowned and pulled out her phone to give Grayson a call.Grayson was dealing with work in his office. He frowned and reluctantly picked up her call. "What's up?"Xenia replied, "Grayson, what about our dance lessons? I've just arrived at your house, and Meredith told me that both you and Belle had left early in the morning."His expression turned grim from the news.He t
The next morning, Meredith knocked at the bedroom door."Mr. Page, Ms. Walters, madam has arrived."Grayson immediately jolted up at the mention of "madam", which meant his mother, Yolanda Quigley. He turned to find Belle still asleep. He walked to her side and proceeded to wake her up. "Belle! Get up!"Belle was annoyed at being woken up. "Fuck off!"She pulled the blanket over her head and rolled over to the other side.Grayson was annoyed, "My mother is here! Do you still want to sleep?"It was Belle's turn to be immediately jolted up. "Your mother is here? What's Mrs. Yolanda doing here?""I don't know!"Belle frowned but finally got out of bed and headed toward the bathroom. She could not afford to be disrespectful toward Yolanda, who was her mother-in-law. Furthermore, Yolanda had treated Belle kindly, and thus, Belle wouldn't dare to show any tardiness.Belle quickly freshened up and headed downstairs together with Grayson.Yolanda was sipping tea on the sofa in th
Belle had transformed from her usual sportswear and ponytail into a stunning cold-shoulder dress. Her long, silky hair cascaded over her shoulders, while the other side was pinned back, revealing her alluring ears.Her earlobes sparkled with ruby earrings, complemented by a matching necklace and bracelet that added to her air of affluence. This transformation made her appear extraordinarily feminine compared to her usual childish demeanor. Coupled with her displeased expression, Belle seemed even more noble and unapproachable to the common folk.She seemed like a queen.She seems more like a proper, pompous princess, given her overall figure.All in all, Belle seemed like a completely different person.Grayson was undeniably charmed by his wife's noble appearance.The daily quarrels might have left Grayson with a distaste for her personality, but he couldn't deny that her appearance and charisma were exceptional.He realized the word "beautiful" wasn't enough to describe B
The slap had left Grayson dazed. He stared at Belle for a solid few seconds before coming back to his senses. He had lost the mood to marvel at her beauty. He frowned."What is your problem?"Belle did not reply. The anger building up within her heart over the recent days began to surge up to the surface.She wanted to hit him hard. And so she lifted her arm once again. Grayson reacted quickly and grabbed her wrist. "Belle Walters!"She tried pulling her arm away from his grasp to no avail. Enraged, she lowered her head and bit down hard on his arm.He immediately retracted his arm and hissed from the pain.He became enraged when he noticed his arm was nearly bleeding from her bite. "Belle Walters! Are you an animal?""You're an animal! Your entire family are … No, wait, you're the only animal in your family!"Grayson was furious as he sat upright. "What the fuck is your problem today?""You pissed me off!""I pissed you off? When? What did I ever do to piss you off?""You
With the car coming to a halt, Sam turned his head around sheepishly. "Mr. Page, we … we've arrived.""Then let's get out of the car!" Grayson yelled at Sam.Sam shivered from Grayson's shout. He quickly unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car.However, Belle was elated to see how angry Grayson was because of her antics.She took the opportunity to throw him some sass. "Do you plan to attend Mr. Page Senior's birthday party with that attitude?"Grayson clenched his fists in anger. "Belle Walters, you will be the death of me."I'll handle your burial for you when you do. No need to thank me."Grayson was left speechless.Soon after, Yolanda called his phone. He glared at Belle for a moment before picking up. "Hello, Mom?""Where are you guys now?" asked Yolanda."We're at the entrance. We'll be coming in.""Alright, hurry up and come in.""Yes, Mom."Grayson took a deep breath after hanging up. He turned to Belle and reminded her once more. "Put on your best behavior!
The women resumed their praises. "Marrying into the Page family is like having divine fortune itself, don't you think? So where is Belle, anyway? Can we have a look?""Please don't worry. She will make her debut in the first dance with Grayson. You will be able to feast your eyes on her then."Yolanda resumed the hearty conversation with the group of upper-class women. On the other side stood Melanie, who stared at Yolanda with jealousy.Melanie could tell that the group's friendly demeanor was just an act and that they were just trying to curry favor with Yolanda.However, She was jealous of the simple fact that the upper-class women had ignored her and only surrounded themselves around Yolanda.Melanie had assumed that Yolanda would have her face turned for the worse after taking the froston pills. To her surprise, the pills had worked as intended and revitalized Yolanda's appearance.And now, despite Yolanda being older, she seemed younger than Melanie."My beautiful skin is
