Veronica felt strange about it, so she immediately asked, "What happened later? How did it go after she was pregnant?"
The corners of Paisley's lips curled into a sneer. "After she got pregnant, she happily waited for Ornard to marry her. But he never mentioned marriage to her even once because they couldn't get married. She was engaged to a fiance since she was a child. He was very capable and handsome. Ornard wanted her to marry that fiance so that he could get his help, but that fiance didn't like her at all. That was because the fiance loved another woman."
Why was this woman's story so similar to Veronica's? She had been tricked by Ornard to sleep around with him after Ornard had taken her virginity. Later on, she was unable to marry him after getting pregnant because she was engaged to Callum. Callum was handsome and capable, so she liked him as well. However, he did not like her. Instead, the person he liked was Emily.
