Our Contract Marriage Ended, But We Somehow Have A Daughter
Our three-year contract marriage came to an end.
It had been the perfect arrangement: a flawless transaction designed to bring the Grand Duke’s niece into the family.
But then……
“Mom and Dad are getting divorced, so I have to choose one of them to go with, right?”
Luna, the Grand Duke’s daughter, who was turning eight that year, boldly declared.
“I’m going with Mom!”
I was stunned when I realized what Luna meant.
“Then you won’t be the Grand Duchess anymore. You’ll become a poor and powerless Viscount’s daughter.”
“Then will Mom become a poor Viscount’s daughter too?”
“Um. For the time being……?”
I nodded. Tears began to well up in Luna’s eyes.
“Then I’ll go with Mom!”
“Huh?”
“I want to become a poor Viscount’s daughter with Mom! I’ll protect you, Mom!”
“No, that’s…….”
“Article 2, Clause 3 of Imperial Law! If a child is capable of expressing their wishes in the event of a divorce, they can choose who will have custody of them! Right?”
Was that really true? Was there even a law like that?
“I’m going with Mom!”
As I awkwardly hugged the child who buried herself in my arms, I thought……
……I think I’m screwed.
All I wanted was to change the child’s mind.
But then……
“Don’t you feel your love for His Grace welling up again?”
The people around us banded together to reunite us.
“Bella, you already know that I love you.”
Even my ex-husband began trying to seduce me.
This is strange. You signed the divorce papers, didn’t you……?!
