"You don't love me. I don't love you. Our marriage is nothing but a filial duty,"

"Would it make any difference if... I say I'm pregnant?"

"That's bullshit, and you know it, Kendra. I always take precautions."

A request from a dying mother and a filial duty of a sole heir brought two innocent hearts together.

Johann Petersen had no choice but to break up with the love of his life, Sandra Fell. One cold winter night turned his life around when his grandfather demanded he married someone else, in the name of courtesy, friendship, and paying a life debt.

Kendra Summers knew from the start that Johann married her not for love, but she was hopeful that he would fall in love with her one day. Yet, on the night of their second wedding anniversary, before she could announce her pregnancy, he handed her the divorce paper.

Will their marriage end shortly and leave them broken?

Or will their child salvage the slightest chance of hope to blossom a love that is hidden?

　　He scratched his head while saying, "Err…"


　　"And it's your job to accompany me, so…" then I tapped the table where I was, "You can sit across from me."


　　We were just quietly waiting for our order when I saw Johann's head peeking at the innermost part of this restaurant.


　　I quickly hid and cursed, "Son of a–"


　　Jones was stunned, and I confronted him, "Jones…are you kidding me? Why did you bring me where they are? Are you siding with Sandra, huh?"
