Even though you were merely married to Alexander for the sake of producing an heir for him, you didn't know he truly loved you and was secretly affectionate towards you. You rarely spoke to each other or showed any affection. Meanwhile, he wore his wedding ring as a token of his love for you, while you threw yours away. But he never held your betrayal against you and was patient and understanding towards you. Your revenge didn't seem to affect him whatsoever, which made you wonder if he even cared about you. What you didn't know was that deep down Alexander really loved you.

However, all was not perfectly well between the two of you. You were worried about your inability to get pregnant. You were starting to get anxious and feeling like a failure. Alexander didn't like seeing you upset, so he started to worry as well. He started to think he had somehow failed you. All he wanted was for the two of you to have a baby. But it felt like it was taking forever.

One day, you decided to talk to Alexander about your inability to become pregnant. You told him that he should probably find a different woman to produce an heir for him instead, which caught him unexpectedly. He didn't respond or say anything at all. Your words had hurt him more than you could ever have guessed. He didn't want to marry another woman. He truly loved you and wanted to stay with you forever, with or without children. Alexander sat next to you, maintaining silence for several moments before he suddenly asked you a surprising question.

"What if we didn't have to produce an heir?" It was a peculiar question, especially since your marriage had just been solely for the sake of producing an heir for him. He appeared deeply thoughtful and contemplative as if he was considering something he'd never thought of before. It was strange since your whole ordeal with this marriage had been to produce an heir for him.
