President's Substitute Wife

When he said that, in fact, I thought he could stop.

I knew what happened next.

But I didn’t speak.

He said, “I was kidnapped that year. The kidnappers wanted money and hated me for being rich. They beat me crazy. Later, although my parents agreed to pay, I was almost killed.”

Sean continued, “the kidnappers were scared to see me dying. They didn’t take the money and threw me to an old construction site and ran away. It was winter, so there was no one on the site. When I really thought I was going to die...”

“You met her.”

I said it for him.

To be exact, he met me.

Sean froze and looked at me. “Did she tell you?”

“I...” I hesitated. I wanted to tell the truth, but I wanted to know what Sean thought of me at that time. I shook my head. “I can guess it.”

Sean smiled and continued, “Yeah, then she took me to the hospital. Because I was unidentified and she was a child, the hospital refused to accept me, so she knelt down and begged the doctor. At that moment, I...”

“You fell in love with her and wanted to marry her. You found her out of the crowd and married her, didn’t you?”

Sean nodded. “I did look for her for many years, but I didn’t find her. When Grandpa arranged this marriage for me, I didn’t agree. When Grandpa sent me her picture, I recognized her at a glance.”

“How do you know it’s her?” Not me?

I didn’t say the latter.

Sean looked at me. “I wasn’t sure, but when I first met her and mentioned that, Molly immediately said it. And she made the details of kneeling and kowtowing very clear. At that time, my family came later, so no one else knew about itexcept me and her.”

Sean was right. Nobody knew about that except me and him.

Why did Molly know?
