Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

The first moment?

That must have been seven years ago, on a stormy night, when she was pregnant and knelt at the Montgomery Manor, desperately knocking on the door with her head.

Back then, she had been cornered by the Sutherland family and Lysander, with no other option but to make such a reckless and desperate move. In her mother-in- law's eyes, was that really courage worth admiring?

Did she truly like her from the first glance?

But...

If she hadn't been pregnant back then, and if she wasn't the daughter-in-law of the Montgomery family, would her mother-in-law still have liked her?
