Chapter 8: 8
The child’s eyelashes were beautiful as he fell asleep in his cradle . In fact, there was no place that wasn’t pretty .
“His mouth is like his stubborn grandfather . ”
Honey dripped from Miriam ‘s eyes . Whether that was the mind of her parents, or because their terrible son-in-law, who couldn’t see them properly, didn’t come to mind . They just saw a place that looked like a family of their own .
“It’s the same as you when you were young . His lashes are neat and his cheeks were plump . ”
Miriam was happy to see her lovely daughter and the child she gave birth to alternately .
“But, are you sure you’re okay?”
But Evelyn asked back with a worried look . It was heartbreaking to think that her parents, who never left a stain on their life, were filled with scandals that they had an illegitimate child in their old age .
“I’ve already decided . ”
Miriam deliberately turned away from her daughter’s gaze and shook the cradle .
“What’s the big deal about people’s words, right, Adrian?”
“But mother, ······ . ”
Evelyn, who had been through it, was able to understand Miriam’s pain . The failure to give birth to a son as a successor was the greatest misfortune for the woman who had been groomed .
Evelyn didn’t dare to guess her mother’s heart, because Miriam had raised her only daughter, Evelyn, without showing such emotion .
“It’s okay . It’s true that I didn’t have a son, and no matter what anyone said, I can’t help it . ”
“I’m sorry ····· . ”
Still, her parents didn’t shake by that . They kept their eyes on each other and protected the royal family . But their honor was tainted .
People now would laugh at the king for being blind to their son, and mocked the queen who failed to give birth to a son . Evelyn had learned how terrifying people’s malice in the imperial family .
“Evelyn, people’s words can’t hurt us . ”

Miriam’s keen eyes turned to her daughter .
“And it’s our job to keep this child bright so that we don’t hear such words . ”
Evelyn clenched her hand for no reason because she was frustrated . Now that she had to protect Adrian, and she had vowed not to show her tears .
“No matter how many people in the world sin with words, if we are not shaken, things like this will soon be scattered without form . ”
Evelyn wasn’t as strong as her mother . In the imperial family, malicious words always scratched Evelyn violently .
She escaped from the place, piling up the wound, and flew here . If this was a match, Evelyn was a loser .
“The important thing is not to break up with a loving family . Isn’t that right?”
“Yes····· . ”

Miriam nodded at her daughter and looked again at Adrian in the cradle .
“I once thought I was the unhappiest person in the world . ”
Evelyn confessed late .
“I was trapped in a tiny world, and I thought it was . I was a weak loser there . ”
Miriam looked at her daughter with sore eyes, but Evelyn didn’t stop talking .
“The next time I had this happiness, but I didn’t know it like a fool . ”
A meaningless life, a pain without a price .
A foolish woman who was imprinted as a loser and did nothing . A weak mother who couldn’t even protect her own child . The misfortune had already passed .
“I met and knew Adrian . The most important thing is not honor or nobility, but happiness in this moment . ”

“I couldn’t really teach you something important, but this child taught you . ”
Miriam warmly grabbed Evelyn’s hand .
“Please teach it to this child again someday . ”
“Yes . ”
The hope that Evelyn kept was asleep in the cradle .
“I’m sure, I will . ”
Evelyn thanked someone for giving her life back to her . So she could run away . And it was a great pleasure and relief that she could protect this child .
“I have to protect this child . ”
Evelyn was no longer thinking about Fabian from Adrian . The dark hair and the dark blue eyes belonged to Adrian, not to Fabian .
Evelyn loved the child as it was . It didn’t matter who the father was right now . So Evelyn was forgetting her cold ex-husband .
