People often say when men reach middle age, their looks and strength deteriorate.
Amelia Clarke doesn't think so. At least, not for Owen Turner. Even in middle age, he’s still exceptionally striking and strong.
Owen Turner countered, saying: “I'm only thirty-five, nowhere near middle-aged.”
…
Owen Turner, born into a distinguished family, self-made founder of the Boway Group, a huge influencer in commercial circles.
When people talk about him, they describe a mature, serious, and austere entrepreneur with an unfathomable background.
Such a solemn and almost harsh successful man has, in an uncharacteristic twist, taken a young bride fourteen years his junior.
Amelia Clarke, a resilient grass that sways in the storm, became the envy of everyone overnight after marrying into a well-known affluent family.
…
Rumors circulate that Mrs. Moreland is a vixen who has seduced the upstanding, self-disciplined Mr. Turner.
Further rumors suggest that Mr. Turner is absolutely smitten with his young wife.
During an interview.
The host asked, “People say Mr. Turner married Mrs. Moreland because she's young and beautiful. Is that true? Besides beauty, does she have any other merits?”
Owen Turner responded, “I love her, whether she is beautiful or not, I would have married her regardless. She doesn't need to have any merits. Loving me is her greatest merit.”
The unsuspecting host swallowed the unexpected response and continued, “When did Mr. and Mrs. Moreland first meet? How did you meet?”
Owen Turner said, “The first meeting was fifteen years ago…”
The host: “…”
Fifteen years ago, he saved her life. Fifteen years later, he asked for her to share her life with him.
…
The twenty-one year-old Amelia Clarke became the beloved darling of the Campbell family.
Old Lady Moreland said, “Emma dear, quickly finish your bird's nest soup.”
Old Master Moreland said, “Emma dear, this ancestral bracelet is for you.”
Mr. Campbell said, “Emma dear, here's a card for you. Buy whatever you want, don't worry about the cost.”
Third Uncle Moreland said, “Jacob, you better not bully Emma. Otherwise your Third Aunt-in-law and I won't let you off!”
Third Aunt Moreland said, “Hmm hmm hmm!”
Uncle Moreland said, “I don't have much to offer, but I can provide you with two bodyguards. They can hold their own in a fight.”
Amelia Clarke said, “…” Is all this fuss necessary just because I’m pregnant?

Prestigious Sweet Marriage

Amelia Clarke finished speaking, and Owen Moreland just looked at her, his gaze calm and serene; yet it was this serenity that gradually evoked a sense of nervousness in Amelia Clarke, as though she'd done something wrong.


She replayed their conversation in her mind and truly couldn't find anything she had said amiss.


Owen Moreland's figure suddenly moved, his long legs striding toward Amelia Clarke, revealing the muscular calves under his robe's hem.


The aura about him seemed to materialize, pushing Amelia Clarke involuntarily back with his approach.


Until she was cornered, her back against the cold wall, the man before her closing in, his shadow looming.


Her heart raced, her gaze lowered, daring not to look into the man's eyes. As the man slowly pressed closer, she could even hear his gentle yet powerful breaths, feel the mix of a mature man's scent and tobacco on her neck, faintly laced with the hint of alcohol.


It was ticklish and numb, inducing shivers.
