"Your daughter-in-law". Old man Brown replied curtly. 

"Good morning Sir". Angela greeted. When she raised her head to greet him, she noticed that the middle-aged standing before her was the bigger and more mature version of the Greek god standing beside her. Angela made a guess that the middle-aged man was the older brother while the Greek god was his younger brother, but after she replayed the reply old brown gave to the middle-aged man, she realized that in fact, the middle-aged man was the Greek god's father. Why am I so stupid at this crucial point?

Angela saw the man's hard stare and immediately bowed her head. Her current posture was like that of one who was about to be bullied. 

"Josh! Did you consent to this?", The middle-aged man yelled as he turned to look at the Greek god standing beside Angela.

'Josh', Angela whispered quietly, and she loved the feeling of his name on her lips. If only Old man Brown knew that the lady whom he thought was scared was actually having perverted thoughts about his grandson, he'd definitely not worry.

Josh, who had just been questioned stared at his father lazily, which, showed that this wasn't the first time his father was yelling at him. He had a bored expression on his face and Jude who had been watching him knew that the young master was trying his best not to yawn because it would be a big slap to his father's face. 

Angela waited to hear the Greek god's voice, but was surprised when she heard nothing after two minutes. She was aware that the young and handsome man wasn't easy to make a conversation with, judging from the aura he had. 

"Call everyone, we're all having dinner together, and I'll introduce her formally to everyone", the Old man waved his hand in dismissal and gently patted Angela's fluffy hair. Angela was surprised and also touched by his gesture. She couldn't remember when last she had been patted on the head. Angela decided to cling unto this little ray of hope that was sprouting, and she really hoped it would grow seeds.

Angela watched as josh's father angrily walked away, but she cared not about that. Presently, she wanted to enjoy as much as she could, even if she didn't know why this old man was treating her with care. 'Idiot, it's because he hit you with his vehicle', her subconscious reminded, making Angela nod her head in understanding.

"Young lady, the maid would take you to your room. If you need anything, you're free to ask. I'm going to bed, I'll see you once it's day break", the old man yawned tiredly, and it was then Angela realized that it was midnight and every normal human was meant to be sleeping.

She immediately bowed her head in understanding and watched as Jude escorted the old man to where she made out to be his room. 

Angela stared at her wheelchair and began wondering how she was going to climb the stairs without sustaining injuries. 

Angela yelped when her wheelchair began moving. She had thought it was moving on its own until she heard someone, whom she made out to be the maid, talk behind her.

"We'll be making use of the elevator". The maid said curtly, and Angela's mouth dropped open in shock. Never in her life had she dreamt that there would be a day when she steps foot into a house that had an elevator built in it. 

Angela was lost in thought and didn't realize they had gotten to a spacious room until she suddenly felt light. She immediately flailed her hands and grabbed the nearest thing to her, which was the maid's clothes. Due to the force she used, the maid's clothes were easily ripped apart, and Angela widened her eyes in surprise. Oh, no! What have I done?

"I'm sorry, I'm truly sorry. Please, I'm sorry", Angela apologized as she laid on the bed. She didn't let go of the maid's hands while apologizing.

The maid was surprised, she thought Angela had intentionally ripped her cloth, but she was wrong. She saw Angela's sincere expression, and she heaved a sigh of relief. At least, this was not one of the rude brats the old master always brought home.

"It's fine. It's just an old cloth", the maid smiled reassuringly. Angela knew she couldn't delay the maid any further, so she reluctantly let go of her hands. 

The maid put Angela to bed and switched off the light as soon as she was done.

Everywhere became quiet and Angela thought she'd have a hard time falling asleep but who knew her body had missed the comfort of bed so much that as soon as she closed her eyes, she fell asleep.

When the sun shone, Angela immediately woke up and went to take her bath.  Now, her body had healed better, and she was able to walk. In the process of taking her bath in the comfortable jacuzzi, she'd almost fallen asleep.

She walked into the room and saw some clothes on the bed. She immediately wore them, not caring about whoever put it there.

Not wanting to make a bad impression on this unknown family, she immediately traced her steps back to the place she remembered to be the living room. She had just taken the last step and was about to walk towards the kitchen when she caught sight of the luxurious dining room.

Angela happily walked there, but soon froze when she saw pairs of eyes staring intently at her.

Old man Brown didn't wait for Angela to take her seat, and immediately pulled her to the closest chair beside him. 

The old man briefly introduced everyone to Angela, and Angela realized this was the whole generation of the Brown's.

After breakfast, the old man immediately urged Josh and Angela to the civil bureau of affairs, but by the time they arrived back home, the media had already gotten wind of their marriage.

Angela thought her life would change for the better, and she could start afresh, but she wasn't aware that this was the beginning of her misery.
