Chapter 2
Damien set up a high–powered astronomical telescope on the balcony. outside the bedroom.
Almost every day, Norah would watch its twinkling light through the
camera.
With a blissful marriage, she proved to her parents that their trust had been misplaced..
If marriage was a gamble, then that fake marriage certificate was the clearest proof of her defeat.
During the confusion, Dakota showed up in front of her.
“Norah, you’re a fake. I’m the real Mrs. Harvick!”
Norah shook her head wildly, crying out, “No! I won’t believe it!”
Damien suddenly appeared behind Dakota, staring at Norah with a cold expression.
Norah grabbed at him like a last hope, “Damien, tell her I’m Mrs. Harvick.”
Damien ignored her, took Dakota’s hand, and walked away.
“Damien!”
Norah screamed and woke up from the nightmare.
“I’m here, Norah. Did you have a bad dream?” Damien asked softly, rubbing her back.

Chapter 7
Norah started crying, “Damien, who am I?”
Damien looked surprised, then smiled and playfully pinched her nose.
“You’re Norah, the one I love the most, and my wife.”
“Really?”
She wanted to ask him straight out. If she was so important to him, then why did he fake the marriage certificate to trick her?
“Damien, about the marriage certificate…”
The phone Damien left on the bedside table suddenly rang.
Norah glanced at the screen and saw the name “Dakota.”
Damien lightly touched her hand and said casually, “I’ll have a lawyer get the marriage certificate soon. There’s something urgent at work, so I need to handle it first.”
Before even leaving the room, he quickly answered the call.
“Dakota, don’t worry, I’ll be there soon to take care of it.”
At the same time, Norah got a call from the director of the Child Welfare Center where she volunteered.
“Norah, there is a couple who wants to adopt Tessa. Mr. Harvick mentioned that you two were planning to adopt her. Can you come by and
take a look?”
After changing clothes, Norah drove to the Child Welfare Center.
She spotted Damien standing by the stairs and was about to wave at him.
Suddenly, someone rushed by and threw herself into Damien’s arms.

Chapter 2
“Damien, you’re finally here! Please help save Tessa!”
Damien held Dakota gently, saying, “Don’t worry, no one will take our daughter away.”
Norah muttered to herself, “Did Dakota really come back to the United
States?”
“Damien, I don’t want Tessa to call anyone else mom and dad.”
Damien leaned close and whispered, “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure Tessa is officially registered as a member of the Harvick family.”
Only then did Dakota stop crying, her tears giving way to a smile.
“Damien, legally speaking, you and I are married, but Norah…”
Damien frowned and said, “I registered our marriage before the wedding to protect you from trouble while you were abroad.
“Besides being called Mrs. Harvick, I can give you everything. Norah didn’t do anything wrong, so don’t bother her.”
Dakota looked upset, but since Tessa’s situation was urgent, she held back her feelings for now.
“Don’t worry, I’m not trying to fight for the title of Mrs, Harvick. I’m not even worthy of it.”
Damien noticed his words sounded a bit harsh, so he quickly bent down to comfort her.
“What are you saying? If you’re not worthy, then who is? You’re the hero who gave Tessa to my family. My mom has always cared about you.”
Norah nearly stumbled. Damien’s mother actually knew about his. relationship with Dakota!

Chapter 2
The picture of her mother–in–law, Mira Harvick, acting all proud, popped into her mind.
Since Norah came without a dowry, the Harvick family was very unhappy with her.
Mira was very particular and never treated her kindly.
Norah foolishly believed that if she showed enough respect to Mira, she would eventually be accepted.
Looking back, Mira had already accepted another daughter–in–law, so there was no way she would take Norah seriously.
With her legs heavy as lead, Norah followed Damien and Dakota up to
the second floor.
At first, Damien maintained the guise of a gentleman. But when they reached a quiet spot, he suddenly pulled Dakota close and pinned her
down.
“Let’s put Tessa’s matter aside for now. Shouldn’t we deal with my problem first?”
His body pressed against Dakota’s lower abdomen, making her blush deeply.
The two entered an empty storage room, and soon, Norah could faintly hear the suppressed moans of a man and a woman intermittently.
Separated by a wall, Norah shivered and slowly sank down beside the
wall.
Damien gasped, “Dakota, you’ve had a child already. Why are you still so tight?”
Dakota whispered back, “What, is Norah that loose?”
