Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1454 After much tugging and ear-pulling, Violet finally stood up, raising her voice as she explained, "There's no long story to tell. We were just having a drink at Glimmering Tower. He suddenly said that many people's dream might just be to get married and have children.

"When I agreed with him, he looked at me and asked, 'Why don't we try it?' I said, 'Sure.""
