Chapter 137

Matteo stared into Romany’s expressive eyes. “A daughter is fine too. The government is strongly encouraging childbirth anyway, so we can always try for a second one. My mother is old and she really wants a grandson. You understand that, don’t you?”

“My mother never liked her. She’s been wanting me to divorce her for a long time. But for the sake of the child, I let her continue as the mistress of the Webb family.

“Whether she remains my wife is up to me. If I don’t want her anymore, she’s nothing. Replacing her is just a matter of minutes.
