Due to his consistent wearing of Buddha Beads, he is known in the underworld as “The Patriarch.”Everyone says that the heir of the Aethelgard Circle's wealthiest Hawthorne Family is a faithful monk-like figure, sexually abstinent and cold, never tempted by beauty.Until the arrival of Vivian Lynch, the Lynch Family's adopted daughter, unloved by her parents and burdened with a leech of a spoiled younger brother.After their one-night reckless encounter, it was assumed their paths would not cross again, but surprisingly, a little over a month later, she was pregnant — with twins.She was brought into the Hawthorne Family, marrying Caden Hawthorne for the sake of their children, becoming the envy of all as Mrs. Hawthorne.Initially, Caden tossed her an agreement, coldly stating, “After the children are born, we'll get a divorce.”Later, her true lineage was revealed, and Caden was slapped in the face by his own actions, desperately clinging to her leg, crying, “Baby, I was wrong, please don't leave me.”One day, Caden was supporting a heavily pregnant Vivian in front of the reporters, announcing, “That's right, we're having a second child.”Vivian, aggrieved and holding her pregnant belly, her eyes tinged red, angrily retorted, “Get lost! Who wants to have your child, you jerk?”Henceforth, the abstinent Patriarch descended from his pedestal, transforming into a doting husband, insatiable in his affection.【Paranoid, abstinent heir of The Aethelgard Circle VS gentle, soft, truly blessed heiress】
