Chapter 9
"Mrs. Charlotte, do you have any children yet?"
"I'm sorry, Mother-in-law........ Please wait a little longer......."
"Oh, I see you're still planning to have the baby."
Peter's mother-in-law, whom I had married, asked me the same question as usual. I could only bite my lip, look down, and apologize.
Ah Yes, the daughter of the venerable Earl of Terrace couldn't possibly be a mischievous seed thief, could she? But it has been four years since you were married. And now that the concubine has given birth to a child...
She stared at me with scorn.
I never imagined that the day would come when I would be looked at like this. And then...
My husband appeared from the other side of the hallway, "Mother, you're here."
"Oh, Peter."
