"So you are the new Missus Wong, for now." Dorota said unsteadily. "But I'll have you know that he is neither grateful nor kind. Henry, who is this woman you've found. She's not from our society. How will she understand our ways? She is a complete n.o.body that you have thrown to the wolves. A young child out with no one to protect her. 

Ellie gave a fake smile before bowing deeply. "I understand your concerns that Henry did not marry a society lady of your choice. I'm sure with his intelligence and kindness and patience that he probably could have chosen any number of very wealthy women to hold my place.

Aunt Dorota, I promise that I will live my life with the only purpose to try to fill in the shoes of the Great Wong women who have occupied them previously."

Henry's stone cold expression soon melted into the ghost of a smile around his mouth. His hand tightened around Ellie's as he brought her hand up to kiss it loudly. He looked at her adoringly before warmly adding, "Ellie love, you don't have to say such things. You are worth more than all of those women combined. I'm so lucky to have met such a capable young lady to bear me beautiful children and keep this house clean like a proper wife." He put her hand next to his face and leaned into it positively purring
