The Wicked Wife's Dark History Keeps Coming Back To Haunt Her - Chapter 161
“Father-in-law, you’re here as well.”
Mother paused upon seeing her father-in-law sitting in front of her.
“Yes, it’s been a while, Daughter-in-law. Did you also come to talk to Nina?”
“Yes, I heard something as a parent that I couldn’t just ignore. I see you heard as well, Father-in-law…”
Something she couldn’t ignore as a parent.
‘Could it be the pregnancy rumor…?’
At that moment, Ash spoke with a grave expression.
“Forgive me for interrupting, but as the matter is serious, I pleaded with Their Majesties to keep it confidential. Have all three of you heard about it?”
Nina looked at Ash in confusion.
Judging by his tone, it seemed he was referring to the incident with the drug today…
At his words, Nina’s Grandfather spoke.
“Their Majesties told me directly.”
Their Majesties?
So it was true, they had come after hearing about the charity event.
It was Their Majesties who praised her for receiving the foreign crown prince’s envoy and for helping those with unjust lawsuits.
She had chosen to do so to show her family that she had changed, but even so, it should have been her who visited first to apologize.
And wasn’t it also her fault that she had made her grandfather and parents come all this way?
She had been agonizing over how to clear up the absurd pregnancy rumor, which was too embarrassing to even explain. But now she felt relieved, and at the same time, could not raise her head.
“We just heard about it at the banquet hall on our way here.”
“…Has the rumor already spread?”
Realizing Ash was misunderstanding, Nina jabbed him repeatedly in the side and shook her head.
‘It’s not that story.’
If the three of them knew she’d been affected by the poison drug, there’s no way they would be this calm.
Besides, that was something they should never know about.
She didn’t want to cause them more pain when she’d already put them through so much.
“…In any case, since we’re all here, let me speak.”
In the heavy, oppressive atmosphere, Nina waited for her grandfather to continue.
“It’s time you got a divorce.”
Her usually obedient father frowned and spoke up in protest.
“Father, how can you say that after what you’ve heard? I don’t think that’s right.”
“I say it precisely because of what I’ve heard.”
“That makes it all the more inappropriate for you to say such a thing.”
“What are you talking about? Weren’t you both in favor of Nina’s divorce?”
“The situation has changed!”
“In that case, let’s ask Duke Bayern directly.”
“Father!”
“Duke, I swear on everything I have that even if you divorce, I will guarantee that it will not interfere in the slightest with your status as guardian of your nephew. What do you say?”
At that moment, Nina, who had been quietly listening to her grandfather and father’s argument, softly spoke.
“I’ll go through with the divorce.”
She had planned to leave quietly after everything was over, in case her parents tried to arrange a remarriage.
Her grandfather was intent on having her divorce, and her parents seemed to feel differently for some reason, so she had no choice but to speak up herself.
“Yes, you made the right decision.”
One year later.
To be exact, after their third wedding anniversary. After all, she and Ash had promised to do it then.
Because she had failed to earn her husband’s trust, they had made that agreement. Now, with just a few months left until the divorce, it was possible it could happen even sooner if her husband continued to trust her.
At that moment, her mother, who had been listening with a serious expression, turned to Ash.
“Duke Bayern, I truly misjudged you. If you were planning to divorce, you never should have married her in the first place. What have you done to my daughter?”
Nina’s eyes widened.
Hadn’t they been talking about the ‘charity event’ this whole time?
“What on earth did you do that would lead to talk of divorce while she’s with child?”
Could it be that all this time, they’d each been talking about something different?
Just then, Grandfather glared at Ash with a fierce look and shouted.
“Pregnant? She’s pregnant?!”
It seemed there had been a massive misunderstanding.
Her innocent husband was suddenly being hit with accusations!
“No, that’s not it…!”
Just as Nina hurriedly opened her mouth to deny it, Ash took her hand and spoke.
“There are no plans for a divorce.”
What?
But we agreed to divorce after three years of marriage!
