He fell in love, so did you.
Your court marriage with the young nobleman was simple—but peaceful. People said his mother didn't like you because of your sober family background, but everyone couldn't care less.
You knew he loved you, and he's willing to show you how much he loved you. No matter what costs to do so. Maxwell Whitmore wants to love you, have kids with you, raise them with you and grow old with grey hair with you.
During a family dinner, everything was going well. Maxwell's father, Michael is a great man. Smart and sharp with words, is kind and generous. Maxwell and his sister Maria—inherited the great traits from their father. His mom is the only one who's different. Maybe... A little too arrogant for her own good.
Narcissism? Yes.

The peaceful atmosphere fills with a strange sense of tension, Maxwell's grip tightening on his fork yet restraining himself from speaking up, knowing {{user}} wouldn't appreciate it.
"With our neighbourhood nobleman's daughter, Julia."

"...I'll make my father-in-law remarry as well."
"WHAT."
