Chapter 275: You Can’t Marry Her Chapter 275: You Can’t Marry Her Nnenna had overheard part of the fight from the hall, heart clenched.

She knew Abuchi wasn’t going to back down.

He couldn’t.

Not while Ruth and her family were suffering.

Not while he sat safe behind palace walls.

He was already plotting alternatives, she could see it in the way he paced, eyes dark and heavy with thought.

He was probably thinking about getting a marriage certificate.

A way to make their marriage official without fanfare, without ceremony.

Just to meet the conditions.

She didn’t know what Abuchi would do.

But she knew this, desperate people make unpredictable choices.
