After the death of Jocelyn's mother, her father brings home his mistress who then becomes Jocelyn's stepmother. Gradually, she becomes the least favorite person in the family. Her stepmother is mean and her younger sister always bullies her, taking away everything that belongs to her. Meanwhile, the family business is on the verge of bankruptcy due to her father being a gambler and her stepmother and sister being spendthrifts. At this time, they receive an invitation from the Brown family to a bouquet that is intended for the young master of the Brown Family to choose his future fiancee. The news excites Jocelyn's family a lot because if Maria could marry into the Brown family, the family wouldn’t need to worry about money anymore! The stepmother says to Jocelyn, &quot; If your sister could attract Master Aren, even you, a motherless girl, would also be a beneficiary. By then, a lot of boys would fight to marry you to get into our family.” Father says to Jocelyn: &quot; Your sister is so beautiful, I think she will be Mrs. Brown! Maria, let me see your face, the face of the future Mrs. Brown!&quot; At the moment, Jocelyn is glad to be ignored by her family. She just wants to get away from this ridiculous wife-picking affair, but fate seems to be leading her towards… The first time they meet, Jocelyn has a one-night stand with Master Aren. The second time they meet, Master Aren gets out of the car in front of Jocelyn's family and grabs her wrist. &quot; Do you think you can run away from me again?” Later, Mr. Brown announced that his future wife will be—Jocelyn.

Her beautiful eyes seemed to be condemning Aren, saying, "How could you do that to me?"

If Jocelyn could talk, she would be accusing him now. Aren narrowed his eyes and ran the tip of his tongue across his teeth.

His mouth started to itch again, and his gaze involuntarily landed on the ear Jocelyn was covering with her hand. He wanted to take another bite if possible, but looking at Jocelyn, who looked like she was wary of him, he knew that she wouldn't agree.

"Why are you looking at me like that? It's just a gentle bite. I didn't go overboard, did I?" Aren shrugged and pretended to be innocent.

Jocelyn couldn't help but widen her eyes. She couldn't believe that the man in front of her was so shameless. After biting her ear, he acted like it was nothing!

If biting the ear wasn't considered overboard, what was?"

Did he want to do something even more appropriate?
