Chapter 161
âFather-in-law, youâre here as well.â
Mother paused upon seeing her father-in-law sitting in front of her.
âYes, itâs been a while, Daughter-in-law. Did you also come to talk to Nina?â
âYes, I heard something as a parent that I couldnât just ignore. I see you heard as well, Father-in-lawâŚâ
Something she couldnât ignore as a parent.
âCould it be the pregnancy rumorâŚ?â
At that moment, Ash spoke with a grave expression.
âForgive 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?â
Nina looked at Ash in confusion.
Judging by his tone, it seemed he was referring to the incident with the drug todayâŚ
At his words, Ninaâs Grandfather spoke.
âTheir Majesties told me directly.â
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 princeâs 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 wasnât 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.
âWe just heard about it at the banquet hall on our way here.â
ââŚHas the rumor already spread?â
Realizing Ash was misunderstanding, Nina jabbed him repeatedly in the side and shook her head.
âItâs not that story.â
If the three of them knew sheâd been affected by the poison drug, thereâs no way they would be this calm.
Besides, that was something they should never know about.
She didnât want to cause them more pain when sheâd already put them through so much.
ââŚIn any case, since weâre all here, let me speak.â
In the heavy, oppressive atmosphere, Nina waited for her grandfather to continue.
âItâs time you got a divorce.â
Her usually obedient father frowned and spoke up in protest.
âFather, how can you say that after what youâve heard? I donât think thatâs right.â
âI say it precisely because of what Iâve heard.â
âThat makes it all the more inappropriate for you to say such a thing.â
âWhat are you talking about? Werenât you both in favor of Ninaâs divorce?â
âThe situation has changed!â
âIn that case, letâs ask Duke Bayern directly.â
âFather!â
âDuke, 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?â
At that moment, Nina, who had been quietly listening to her grandfather and fatherâs argument, softly spoke.
âIâll go through with the divorce.â
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.
âYes, you made the right decision.â
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 husbandâs 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.
âDuke 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?â
Ninaâs eyes widened.
Hadnât they been talking about the âcharity eventâ this whole time?
âWhat on earth did you do that would lead to talk of divorce while sheâs with child?â
Could it be that all this time, theyâd each been talking about something different?
Just then, Grandfather glared at Ash with a fierce look and shouted.
âPregnant? Sheâs pregnant?!â
It seemed there had been a massive misunderstanding.
Her innocent husband was suddenly being hit with accusations!
âNo, thatâs not itâŚ!â
Just as Nina hurriedly opened her mouth to deny it, Ash took her hand and spoke.
âThere are no plans for a divorce.â
What?
But we agreed to divorce after three years of marriage!
