Chapter 18 Black Gown

"What do you see?" asked William bluntly.

Without realizing it, Lydia had been watching William for so long. She immediately replied with a little voice and nodded, "That, that..., have you had a physical examination today? How did things go? What kind of food do you need to watch for in the future?"

William became slightly surprised and saw Lydia. He was completely shocked by her answer, tinkering with his tie, he said, "Don't worry, I'm in really good health. I don't need your concern at all. But if anything happens to me, it's not your problem either. As long as the baby in your stomach is still there, the agreement is still valid. As far as the contract goes, you haven't told anyone about our relationship, have you?"

Lydia was shaking her head, "But what will happen at dinner this evening? Will anyone not discover our relationship? I mean, there will be another member from Chang Family."

William accepted Lydia's response. "Yes, today there will be others who will know that you are legally my wife. My requests are addressed solely to you. Grandmother who let you stay, which is the same thing as causing problems. Because she's going to deal with an internal family, then she gives you a status, to calm the family down. On the outside, try to hide your relationship with me, or even like the relationship of a lover. I don't want to be your lover in front of outsiders, I'm just asking you to cover it up. You and the child in your belly can stand by my side, as long as you abide by our agreement. It's just that you need to tell outsiders, that I'm a cripple who spends money on hiring a woman to give birth. And if the situation is steady, you don't need to remain here. It's not just because I don't like you, but also because of other aspects..."

Lydia understood what William meant when he said that. This is true for William's position, indeed it would be more beneficial for William if she left his side.

"But Grandma's likes of you." William stared down at Lydia. "Not only like, but actually fond of you. She already figured out there might be a problem in the Chang Family if she takes you in. But, she ignores my sentiments, and is always willing to accept you. My Grandma's so fond of you, I'm curious. Lydia, what's so special about you that gives Grandma the impression that you and I can be husband and wife?"

Lydia frowned in William's presence. She had no idea how to answer William's question either. Lydia was also of the opinion that it was preferable to leave William. If the Chang Family was always willing to continue to provide financial support to the Ahn Family, then let her give birth and raise this child by herself. That would work best for both sides.

At that tense moment, suddenly, there was a maid who knocked gently on William's door. In a courteous way, she said, "Young Master, Young Madam. Master and his wife had come..."

"Master?" asked Lydia with doubt, then she turned to William.

William smiled coldly, "He should be called Second Master. When my father was still alive, it was a call for my father. Since my father passed away, he has been the 'Master' of the Chang Family residence. While seemingly powerless, he continues to dominate the thoughts of the Chang Family member. He didn't get the rights of the successors, so he started with changing the way he called. At the time, he didn't have the capacity to change, but..."

William kept his mouth shut, narrowed his eyes. After a moment, he said, "After I became ill and fell into a coma, he began to spread his influence more strongly than before. Which is why he could change his calling."

After William talked, he stood in front of the closet and lifted his chin up slowly, "Change your clothes, we're getting down."

Lydia, with her eyebrows pleated, watched William. She had no idea what William was talking about. What does he mean changing clothes? Was that here in front of William?

William glanced at Lydia, then averted his eyes and turned his back on Lydia. With his chilly air, he said, "I am completely uninterested in your body. You're changing now, and I'm going to add another ten minutes to get your makeup done. Please don't shame me in front of another member of the Chang Family."

Lydia looked at William's back, twisted her lips, and removed the clothes on her body. She then started replacing them with the black gown that was in the closet. It was a pretty black gown with sleeves. Beautiful black long maxi chic evening dress and stylish dress, which was perfect for night and formal dinners. But because that dress has just been bought, even if it fits perfectly to the body, the zipper on the back is not very flexible. Lydia's hand tugged at the back of the zipper, pulling the zipper initially unbuttoned in her hair.

"Sst..." Lydia was struggling with the fact that her hair was wrapped in a zipper. Once Lydia pulled her hair too hard, she couldn't hold on and make a painful sound.

"What happened?" asked William, and he eagerly turned his back. "Can you even wear your clothes like a normal person? How hard is it to simply change clothes?"

"No, it's almost finished." Lydia didn't want William to get the impression that there was nothing she could do. She did not want William to think that she could not even put on her clothes properly. So, Lydia immediately pulled the zipper with all her might. As a result, her hair and zippers become even tighter, causing her to crinkle her forehead. But this time, she couldn't help but whine with pain.

"Is there someone more foolish than you?" All of a sudden, William's voice came from behind Lydia.

Lydia was busy pulling that zip. She had not realized at all that William had turned and was marching toward her. Since Lydia still hadn't zipped up, now all of her back was visible. Suddenly, she felt a chill down her spine. Based on a woman's gut, Lydia immediately turned around. She leaned against the wall, covered her breast and screamed loudly, "No, stop where you are. Why do you come here?"

William gazed at Lydia in cold eyes, "If I didn't come to you, I wouldn't know how dumb you are. Just turn back!"

With furrowed eyebrows, Lydia looked at William. "I, I mean... You... you and me, we're male and female. You know, there are differences in our bodies. And right now, my back is... still open..."

William squinted, "A woman who's going to do anything for money. She went so far as to give birth to a strangers. Do you still have any shame? Tonight, we should spend the night together in the same bed. Now that you're pretending, what's all that interesting?

Lydia figured out why William made that statement. They were likely to sleep together in the same bed. Given that the present situation of the Chang Family was somewhat complicated. If they put a bed in William's bedroom, it's as if people knew they weren't sleeping in the same bed at all. It was of no benefit to her or William.

Lydia was biting her lip and slowly turned around. She stood up right against William. As she could not see William, Lydia felt very sensitive to the touch of William. She could feel William curling her hair, his fingers scratching her neck. After that, William's hand began to touch her back.
