Married to the Boss: A Love in Disguise by Ava Green

Lumma couldn’t read much from his expression and assumed he genuinely liked it. She was ready to cook another pot of
dumplings and said, “Mr. Hills, if you enjoy it, let’s have some more.”
Adam replied, “Okay.”
While Lumma went to the kitchen to cook more dumplings, Judy looked at Adam and whispered, “Brother, if you don’t like it, you
don’t have to eat it. It wouldn’t be good if it upsets your stomach.”
Adam responded, “Even if I don’t like it, do you think I’m foolish enough to eat it?”
Judy retorted, “I wouldn’t have thought so if you hadn’t said it. But now that you’ve said it, you look a bit silly, just like the husky
we used to have at home.”
Adam gave her a disdainful look and said, “You know nothing?”
His wife minced the meat, made the dumplings, cooked them, and prepared the dipping sauce. Even if he couldn’t get used to it,
he had to eat them and eat a lot. He wanted to show his support for her.
Judy continued, “Brother, I remember you telling me that love is fleeting. You made me believe pigs could climb trees and not
believe in love. Now look at yourself. You’re acting like a fool under the influence of love.”novelxo.com fast update
Adam paused momentarily and asked, “Is this love?”
Judy responded, “Isn’t this love?”
Adam questioned, “Are you saying my feelings for Lumma are love rather than responsibility?”
“Responsibility?” Judy couldn’t quite understand it either. Based on her years of reading romance novels and comics, Adam was
indeed attracted, but he was still Adam. He couldn’t be compared to ordinary people.
They were conversing when Lumma finished cooking the dumplings and brought them out. Their attention turned to her
simultaneously, and Judy said, “Lumma, what do you think it means to love someone?”
Lumma had little experience in matters of the heart, and this question truly stumped her. She smiled awkwardly, “Such a
profound question you should ask someone else.”
Judy persisted, continuing to inquire on behalf of Adam, “Just share your thoughts.”

Lumma sat down at the dining table, eating dumplings while pondering the question earnestly. “According to the book, when
someone falls in love with another person, their emotions are influenced by that person. They feel sadness when the other
person is sad and joy when the other person is happy. The book also mentions that being in love means desiring to see the other
person constantly...”
Lumma was interrupted before she could finish as Judy turned to Adam and asked, “Brother, is your relationship with your wife
similar to what Lumma just described?”
Adam shot her a stern look but remained silent.
Judy then turned her gaze back to Lumma and asked, “Lumma, what about you?”
Lumma smiled and said nothing.
She couldn’t confess to them that she didn’t believe in love, that what people called love was merely a result of hormonal
attraction between men and women
