When the Contract Marriage Ended, He Stayed

Hazel Hawthorne married into one of the richest families in the country, becoming the wife of Aiden Xavier, the world's most sought-after bachelor.

To outsiders, she seems pitiful.

Everyone says Aiden doesn't love her. They whisper that he married her only to satisfy his parents and that his heart belongs to someone else. Despite being Mrs. Xavier, she supposedly lives like a widow while her husband rarely comes home.

But Hazel couldn't care less about the gossip.

Looking at her latest designer bags and sparkling jewelry, she happily smiles.

“My husband gives me ten million a month, never interferes with my life, and hardly ever comes home. Isn't this the dream?”

To Hazel, this kind of marriage is pure happiness.

No drama. No arguments. Unlimited money.

What more could she ask for?

At least, that's what she thinks… until her supposedly indifferent husband starts paying a little too much attention to her.

And suddenly, the peaceful life she loves so much may not stay peaceful for long.
