For a long time after his birth, Jonathan had no idea that his biological mother was someone else.
In the beginning, Marigold had relentlessly pursued Sprague. In his youth, Sprague was handsome, charismatic, and the heir to a great fortune. Even if it was just for the money, Marigold was determined to marry him. But Sprague wasn’t interested in her. From start to finish, the only person he ever loved was Eleanor Kane.
But Eleanor didn’t love Sprague. In the end, their marriage was destined for divorce. Meanwhile, Marigold came to a sobering realization: for a woman like her, love was useless. It was far better to secure Sprague’s money than to win his love.
So, when Marigold heard that the condition for Sprague and Eleanor’s divorce was for Eleanor to find a surrogate to bear a child, she eagerly volunteered. Even though the child she would carry would technically be Sprague and Eleanor’s, she would be the one pregnant with the Thomas family’s heir. She would be the one to give birth to him.
Just as Marigold predicted, after she gave birth to Jonathan, Clifford insisted that Sprague marry her. Sprague didn't object. Marigold could sense that after being rejected by Eleanor, he no longer cared who his wife was.
Conveniently, Marigold didn't care whether Sprague loved her or not. All she wanted was to secure her position as Mrs. Thomas. As long as the Thomas family flourished, she would have more money than she could ever spend.
