Chapter 101

How did this suddenly turn into a marriage? Did Xavier even love Lily?

But starting a family has always been an inevitable step in life.

Two years ago, when Edith started pushing him to get married, he had no intention of doing so. But as the pressure mounted and the situation became unbearable, he remembered the childhood engagement arranged long ago. When he went to propose, willing to honor the marriage agreement, it wasn't the first time he'd met Lily

He had already done his research on her. She was obedient, always respecting her parents' wishes, even if they weren't particularly responsible. He needed a wife like that.

He didn't dislike Lily. In fact, he had even found himself somewhat attracted to her looks and figure when they first met.

After two years of manage, living together had been smooth sailing. That confirmed his initial choice hadn't been wrong

As for the recent change in her behavior, where she hadn't been as obedient, that was all in the past now. They were well-suited for eachother.
