SWNOVELS Chapter 4
Chapter 4
In fact, Caroline was the first daughter of the Sullivan family. However, when she was born, the family accidentally took the wrong child and raised the wrong daughter. Renee Sullivan. As a result, the real daughter of the family, Caroline, was raised in the countryside.
Later, when the Sullivan family brought Caroline home, they found out that she was an ugly woman with a scar on her face. They found it disdainful that she was an ignorant country bumpkin, so the Sullivan family never officially acknowledged Caroline’s identity as their daughter.
Caroline resided in one of the housekeeper’s rooms in the Sullivan residence and was treated badly by the family, especially by Shirley, the second daughter of the family who loved to bully her.
When Caroline was planning to return to the countryside, the marriage between the Sullivan family and the Faraday family was about to take place. The Sullivans captured her grandmother and made Caroline a replacement for Shirley, leaving Caroline with no choice but to do as she was told.
Caroline furrowed her eyebrows, hiding the iciness in her gaze as she vowed to save her grandmother from the clutches of the Sullivans.
Nathan returned to the master bedroom and took a cold shower. Clad in a set of black silk pajamas, he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
The bright light from outside seeped through the window, casting a magnificent. glow on his cold and handsome visage.
The man poured some red wine into a wine glass and took a sip of the liquor. The pungent flavor of the rare red wine quickly enveloped his taste buds.
All of a sudden, Nathan recalled the woman’s k*ss. It was clean and tender. Her fresh and fragrant scent was much sweeter than the red wine, and it was unlike anything he had ever experienced.
Nathan’s Adam’s apple bobbed nonchalantly as he thought about how he should’ve punished Shirley when he caught her. However, there was an idea in his heart that made him spare her for the time being.
“Shh, don’t ask. I’m your wife,” the woman had said.

Chapter 4
Nathan put down the wine glass and lay on the soft, spaci ous bed.
She had slept in this bed for two years, and Nathan caught a whiff of a faint fragrance.
It seemed that the scent had transferred onto the pillow.
Nathan noticed the fragrance last night, and much to his surprise, he slept well
because of it.
He had been suffering from insomnia for some years, but he was able to fall asleep. the night before.
“Is it because of the fragrance on her b*dy? Do I have to rely on her scent to fall asleep?” he wondered.
To verify his hypothesis, Nathan got out of bed and went downstairs. Soon, he found the slender figure standing in the living room.
He walked over to her and placed his large hands on her narrow waist.
Caroline got up early. She was trimming some flowers and arranging them into a vase. Just then, she heard a series of steady footsteps approaching and stopping right behind her.
The next second, two large hands were resting on her waist. Through the thin fabrics of their clothing, she could feel the man’s broad and muscular chest pressing against her back as he enveloped her in an embrace.
Caroline’s eyelashes trembled slightly as her b*dy stiffened.
Without looking back, she could guess that Nathan was the one behind her. He was the owner of the place, so it was definitely him and nob*dy else.
The hug came as a bolt out of the blue. Caroline couldn’t help but wonder why he hugged her and if it was because he had recognized her.
The man leaned in, his handsome visage inching closer toward her as he sniffed her n*eck. In a low voice, he murmured, “Shirley, why do you smell so good? What perfume do you use?”
Caroline’s cheeks flushed in an instant.
She immediately turned around. “Mr. Faraday, you’ve made a mistake. I’m not Mrs. Faraday!”
