He was the successor of a mysterious European family and the president of a transnational financial conglomerate. Although a bachelor for years, he had a 6-year-old son.
She was the head of the Criminal Investigation Department of the North District Police Station, a dumb violent police officer.
When they first met, she thought he was a mobster. Not only did she crash into his expensive sports car, but even bit him.
He calmly raised his slender fingers with teeth marks and said, "Hester, do you think you can get away after biting me? I want money, or this isn't over."
She buckled when she noticed the bite mark, asking sheepishly, "How much?"
"Let's see. 500,000." He smiled charmingly but was cooking up a plan. "Bucks!"
She only made 4, 500 a month. Bursting into tears, she said pitifully, "What if I can't afford it?"
The smile on his thin lips spread wider. "Then I guess you will make do. I am in need of a girlfriend, and my son a mother."
However, she didn't want to be a stepmother!
The spoiled brat countered, "I don't want that dumb woman to be my mommy! I only agreed to call her mother for Daddy's sake. It's not because I like her or anything!"

The Odyssey of a Woman from Mars

Dave looked at Hester. He knew very well why Hester was like this. It was because of him...


When he was kidnapped by Bette, Hester was injured.


When he was brought back to the United States by Braelyn, Hester wanted to stop Braelyn even though Hester was pregnant.


And now... A similar situation happened again.


Dave lowered his head with regret while wishing that he simply didn't exist in this world.


"I'm fine..." Hester reached out and touched Dave's head. She smiled weakly. "Most importantly, you're fine."


Dave bit his lower lip and shook his head desperately. He looked up with tears. "Sorry... Mommy, it's my fault. I can't protect myself..."


"What does that have to do with you?" Hester struggled to hold the devilish brat in her arms and panted. "You are just a child... In my eyes, you will always be a child that needs protection..."
