Chapter 288

• I hadn't considered all of this before. The sudden joy clouded my mind and made me forget that my union with Mr. Adler was not blessed. Now, with Colter's reminder, I suddenly realized everything. It's deceiving to say that I am unfriendly towards the Adler residence and unafraid of the Ye family's influence.
• As I fell into silence, Colter thought for a moment and then comforted me, "But you have the certificate now, so don't think too much about it. Since Mr. Adler chose to be with you, he has the ability to protect you." He smiled and changed the topic, "But ever since Mr. Adler has been with you, he's been completely different. Before, he couldn't sleep more than a few hours a day, at most he would take a quick nap at night. Sometimes I would bring him supper, and he would hardly close his eyes all night. But now, Mr. Adler has even learned to take afternoon naps." Colter said this very affectionately, as if Mr. Adler was just a child he had watched grow up.
• "Don't worry, Colter. I won't be knocked down. I've made it through this long, haven't I?" I mustered all my energy and smiled at Colter.
