Summary
“I’ll never fall in love with you. You’re destined to grow old alone.” That’s what Mason Wright said when he married her. For three years, Mason never touched her. To the outside world, she was Miss Morris, the deaf girl, but never Mrs. Wright. Her family used her as a stepping stone, his family despised her, and Mason’s friends bullied her without restraint. One bright and sunny day, she finally had enough and decided to leave. But the arrogant man changed his tune: “Stay. Let’s start over.” Stella gave him a cold smile. “CEO Wright, sorry, but I’ve already found someone new.”
Chapter 1
During the All Souls' Day, it rained heavily.
In front of the hospital.
Stella was thin, and her bony hands were holding the pregnancy test report from the hospital, on which were written two very clear words.
Not pregnant!
"You've been married for three years and you're not pregnant?"
"Why are you so useless? If you don't get pregnant, you will be kicked out of the Wright Family . Then, what will happen to our Morris Family ?"
Iris was wearing high heels and brightly dressed. She pointed at Stella with disappointment on her face.
Stella's eyes were empty, and all the words stuck in her heart finally came together into one sentence.
"sorry."
"Don't be sorry, Mommy wants you to give Mason a baby. Do you understand?"
Stella's throat felt dry and she didn't know how to answer her.
After three years of marriage, her husband Mason has never touched her.
How can there be children?
Iris looked at her weak and helpless appearance and felt that she was not like herself at all.
Finally, she said coldly,
"If you really can't do it, help Mason find a woman outside. He will remember you for that."
Stella stared blankly at Iris 's departing back, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Her biological mother actually asked her to find a woman for her husband.
The cold wind chilled my heart in an instant.
??
Sitting in the car on the way home.
Iris 's last words before she left echoed in Stella 's mind , and there was a sudden roar in her ears.
She knew that her illness had worsened.
At this time, a text message came from the mobile phone.
It was the same message Mason had sent over the past three years, "No reply tonight."
In three years of marriage, Mason never stayed overnight at home.
And never touched Stella .
Stella still remembers their wedding night three years ago, he said.
"If you, the Morris Family, dare to cheat in marriage, you should be prepared to live a lonely life."
Lonely till old age...
Three years ago, the Morris Family and the Wright Family entered into a business marriage.
The benefits between both parties had already been promised.
But on the wedding day, the Morris Family suddenly changed their minds and transferred all their assets, including the billions that Mason gave Stella when he married her.
Thinking of this, Stella's eyes dimmed, and she replied to Mason with an "OK" as usual.
The pregnancy test report in my hand was unknowingly crumpled into a ball.
When she got home, Stella threw it in the trash.
She was particularly tired at this time of month.
I didn't prepare dinner and just leaned on the sofa for a while, half asleep and half awake.
There was always a rumbling sound in her ears.
This is also the reason why Mason hates her, she is hard of hearing, which is equivalent to a disability in a wealthy family.
How could Mason let her have a child?
The European-style pendant clock on the wall made a dull sound.
Five o'clock in the morning.
The European-style pendant clock on the wall made a dull sound.
In another hour, Mason will be back.
Stella realized later that she had slept on the sofa all night.
She got up and prepared breakfast for Mason , afraid of being late for even a minute.
Mason is meticulous in his work and is very demanding of his time and the people around him.
At six o'clock, he came back on time.
He was wearing a standard Italian suit, with a tall figure, a restrained temperament, handsome features and masculine charm.
But the reflection of him in Stella's eyes was cold and distant.
He didn't even look at Stella , he just walked past her, looking at the breakfast on the table sarcastically, "You do this every day, what's the difference between you and a nanny?"
For three years, Stella always did the same thing, wore the same light grey clothes, and even replied to text messages with the same word "good".
To be honest, if it weren't for the business marriage, if it weren't for the Morris Family 's deception.
He would never marry such a woman!
nanny?
Stella's ears roared again. She choked up and asked with courage from somewhere, " Mason , do you have someone you like?"
The sudden words made Mason's eyes change, "What do you mean?"
Stella looked up at the person in front of her, suppressed the soreness in her throat, and slowly said, "If you have someone you like, you can be with her..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Mason .
"Neuropathy."
??
Mason left, and Stella sat alone on the balcony, staring blankly at the cold rain outside.
The sound of rain is sometimes clear and sometimes blurry.
When she took off her hearing aids, her world became quiet.
A month ago, the doctor told her, " Miss Morris , your auditory nerve and centers at all levels have lesions, causing your hearing to decrease again. If it continues to worsen, you will become completely deaf."
She was not used to such a quiet world, so she went to the living room, turned on the TV and turned up the volume to the maximum, barely able to hear some sound.
I don't know if it was a coincidence, but an interview with international sweet song queen Sophie Perez who had returned home was being broadcast on TV.
Stella 's hand holding the remote control trembled.
Sophie , Mason 's first love!
After not seeing her for many years, she is still as beautiful as ever. Facing the camera, she is calm and confident. She is no longer the shy and self-abased Cinderella who sought funding from the Morris Family .
When the reporter asked her why she returned to China, Sophie was confident and bold.
"I came back this time to get my first love back."
The remote control in my hand fell to the ground.
Stella 's heart sank as well.
It seems to be raining heavily outside again.
Stella hurriedly turned off the TV and went to clean up the untouched breakfast.
When she got to the kitchen, she realized that she had forgotten to take Mason 's phone.
She picked up the phone and just happened to see the unread text message on the screen.
" Brother Mason , you must have been very unhappy in the past few years, right?"
"I know you don't love her. Let's meet tonight. I miss you so much."
Stella didn't come back to her senses until the screen went dark .
Take a taxi and go to Mason 's company.
On the way, Stella looked out the window. The drizzling rain seemed to never stop.
Mason doesn't like Stella going to his company, so every time she comes to see him, Stella takes the back door freight elevator.
Mason 's special assistant Lucas Diaz saw Stella coming and just called her coldly, " Miss Morris ."
Around Mason , no one treated her as Mrs. Wright .
She is a hidden existence.
When Mason saw the phone Stella sent him, his brows frowned.
She is always like this, bringing me a lunch, a document, a piece of clothing, an umbrella, as long as I forget something...
"Didn't I tell you that you don't have to make a special trip to send me something?"
Stella was stunned.
"I'm sorry, I forgot."
When did my memory become so bad?
Maybe I was too scared when I saw the text message from Sophie .
I'm afraid Mason will suddenly disappear like that...
Before leaving, Stella looked back at Mason and couldn't help but ask, " Mason , do you still like Sophie ?"
Mason thinks Stella is acting strange lately.
Not only does he forget things, he also likes to ask strange questions.
How could she be worthy of being his Mrs. Wright ?
He replied impatiently, "If you are too idle, find something to do."
Stella had also looked for a job before, but Mason 's mother, Ruby Chavez, once asked her bluntly, "Do you want the whole world to know that our Mason married a disabled wife with hearing problems?"
So in the end, she had no choice but to give up her job and stay in the villa , being the Mrs Wright in name only .
Back home, Stella sat alone until the night.
She can't sleep.
The cell phone on the bedside table rang rapidly.
It was a strange phone call.
After taking it, a sweet female voice came out, which made Stella panic all the time.
Sophie .?
"Is that Stella ? Mason is drunk, can you come pick him up?"
S senior club .
Stella rushed to the box, she heard a group of rich young men making a fuss inside.
" Sophie , didn't you come back this time to win back our CEO Wright ? Now is the perfect time, confess your love to our CEO Wright ."
Sophie is sweet and pretty, has a good social life, and is Mason 's first love, so these wealthy young men from the upper class are willing to match her up.
Sophie didn't hesitate and said to Mason immediately , " Mason , I like you. Let's get back together."
Stella just heard this when she rushed to the door of the box.
People in the box began to persuade Mason , especially his good brother Jose Brown, whose voice was particularly loud.
" Mason , you've been waiting for Sophie for three years. Now she's finally back. You should express your opinion now."
Stella froze at the door, her heart pounding like thunder. Just at this moment, the door of the box was opened by a man.
" Miss Morris ?"
