Darling，No More Hiding novel Chapter 1

In the White family home sat a beautiful and innocent-looking woman by the name of Jennifer Young.

Dressed in an exquisite gown, Jennifer fiddled with a tea set on the coffee table.

She grabbed a teacup and thrust it clumsily at the person seated opposite her. “H-Have some t-tea.

While she stuttered, saliva trickled out of the corner of her mouth.

Yet perhaps the most eye-catching thing about her was the set of intersecting scars on her face.

“He's having me marry a fool so that he can express his gratitude?” Mitchell White ignored the childish woman before him as he flipped through a report on Jennifer Young.

Then, he tossed the report aside while his mood turned sour.

His expression hardened further as he recalled her IQ results. IQ = 50.

Mitchell could not deny that her looks were utterly incomparable. Still, the sight of her trickling saliva was a turn-off.

The butler, James Ward, explained, “Old Mr. White said that Ms. Jennifer saved his life. So—” However, he trailed off midsentence.

A month earlier, Mitchell's grandfather, Montgomery, had gone missing in the mountains during an ancestral pilgrimage.

The Whites had spent several days searching for him in vain. Just as the situation seemed dire, Montgomery was carried home by a young woman, safe and alive.

The woman was none other than Jennifer Young, who was seated opposite Mitchell.

“So what? He's offering his grandson’s hand in marriage as thanks?”

Mitchell maintained his frosty demeanor while he got up from the couch. He could not be bothered to even spare a glance at Jennifer as he ordered, “Get her out of here.”

“Mr. Mitchell, b-but Ms. Young is already married to you.” As he said this, James whipped out the damning marriage certificate.

Having expected Mitchell's objections, Montgomery had pre-emptively gotten the marriage certificate, leaving no room for his grandson to protest.
