To all appearances, Edward Allen seemed like a man annoyed by his wife. It seemed he had tolerated her due to public opinion, but that didn’t seem to be the case.
“Yeah. You’re married, after all.”
“My wife isn’t Mrs. Allen.”
“I know that, don’t I?”
“I’m not a psychologist.”
“I know. Just asking out of desperation, please.”
The words ‘please’ from Edward Allen’s mouth surprised Guildford once again. But business was business. He asked one last thing for confirmation.
“Whatever the outcome, you can’t blame me.”
“There’s nothing left to worsen. Just talk.”
This workaholic seemed really desperate. Guildford thought it was enough and started with the most basic advice.
“First, you caught her interest. Express your feelings as sweetly as possible, and buy gifts that match her taste.”
“I’ve given her many gifts. But Louisa doesn’t like what I buy.”
Hearing that, Guildford snorted. Who dislikes gifts? Obviously, this man had made some mistake.
“What did you give her?”
“A lot. Dresses from famous designers, 100-carat diamonds. Oh, you should remember this one. The one I told you to win at auction no matter the cost because the royal family was also interested.”
Guildford recalled an incident from last year.
It was shortly after they moved to this office, and things were quite hectic. Suddenly, Edward had sent a telegram instructing him to attend an auction.
Guildford had suggested hiring a separate secretary for such tasks, but Edward, being difficult as ever, decided instead to pay Guildford an additional salary equivalent to a secretary’s wage.
Naturally, Guildford didn’t refuse the extra money and went to the auction.
He had even enjoyed the rare sight of a royal representative leaving in a huff. For him, it had been a quite satisfactory task.
However, completing the task and the success of the gift were two different matters.
Guildford didn’t bother to hear more of his gift list and asked,
“What exactly were these gifts? Were they products from designers Mrs. Allen frequently used?”
Edward pondered for a moment and then shook his head.
“I don’t know. Louisa doesn’t really have a favorite brand. She doesn’t have consistent tastes. Her style is just similar to others. If I had to say, she often wears dark colors?”
He added something that suddenly came to mind while recalling.
“Ah, she finds wearing hats bothersome. So I only bought her a hat once.”
Guildford closed his eyes tightly and nodded at his response. Not gifting something because it’s bothersome – no wonder his attempts failed.
“That’s a big problem. Do you know how important those things are to women?”
He then elaborated on the complex tastes of his wife, Diana Theodore.
“Just because it’s inconvenient doesn’t mean it’s unnecessary. Do you wear shoes just because they’re comfortable? Even with jewelry, it’s not just about size. There are trends to consider. What kind of cut it is, whether they want it as a necklace or a ring, or maybe they want to wear it in their hair. Really, women’s preferences change all the time, but you dismiss it with ‘she doesn’t have a taste.'”
Edward looked at Guildford bewildered by his rapid-fire explanation.
Guildford, scribbling something on a notepad, said,
“Diana is pregnant, so she won’t do, but my sister-in-law… that is, Emily Ernest. Do you know her?”
When Edward nodded, Guildford handed him a letter of introduction he had written.
“I’ll assign her to you. Ask her in detail about current trends while choosing. And when you give the gift, make sure to emphasize how much thought and effort you put into it, how much you considered the other person.”
Edward looked at Guildford, his eyes filled with confusion and surprise at the flood of advice.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
