I Shall Break Off Our Engagement For You
[Chapter 42]
Translated by: ME
[Divorce?]
Felicia's mother, Christina Erhardt, asked again, her blue eyes wide.
My uncle, Sir Bernard, shrugged and nodded.
Suddenly, Maisie's mother, Daphne, said she wanted a divorce.
She had almost forced her way into the Goddard family and was determined not to leave, so what was going on?
My uncle didn't seem to understand it at all either.
My mother simply said, [I'm glad] and laughed as my uncle looked down dejectedly.
[You're a good person, so you ended up marrying her because she pushed you too hard, right?]
[There aren't any complicated circumstances between our families and there's practically no love between you.]
[This is a good opportunity, so why don't you break up?]
When he hears that they are asking for compensation and Maisie's dowry, he raises his eyebrows, but says that if that means they will end their relationship, it would be better to just pay it now.
[You should cut ties with those people.]
For several years, my uncle had lived with her as his wife and daughter, so he was naturally a kind person, and I imagine he must have felt lonely.
However, not only my mother, but also my father, myself and even Rosemary all agreed.
There's no telling when Daphne might change her mind again.
Don't miss this great opportunity.
Let's cut ties cleanly and completely.
With the whole Erhardt family pushing him, Baron Bernard Goddard finally made up his mind and signed the divorce papers to be submitted to the royal family.
My father fold it and put it in a seal.
[So, where are Daphne and Maisie going?]
[For the time being, he says he intends to seek refuge with the Marquis of Haymer.]
[To the Haymer family... ?]
The members of the Erhardt family all frowned.
[It seems Maisie is getting married, so I think things will work out.]
Is that so?
What on earth will happen if Maisie marries into the Haymer family?
But in any case, they're no longer relevant.
[I think it's best to submit this as soon as possible.]
Marquis Erhardt got up from the sofa, ordered his butler to prepare the carriage, and then said, [I'm going for a quick ride to the royal palace] before quickly leaving the living room.
[He'll be back by lunchtime, so let's celebrate.]
[Sister, what do you mean by celebration...]
[Oh, I'm sorry. I've gone too far.]
[Well, Bernard, let's have a comfort party for you.]
[We'll invite Agnes and have a party in the garden.]
Rosemary stood up and said, [I'll come and get you.]
She called Bertha and said, [I want to go to the Goddard house.]
[Please call a carriage.]
Frankly, everyone is delighted.
Rosemary doesn't even try to hide it.
Sir Bernard looked around at the Erhardt family with a complicated smile on his face.
(Uncle…)
Felicia silently sat down next to her uncle and placed her hand on his lap.
He turned to her and smiled with relief.
[Felicia...]
[I'm sorry, but it can't be helped, Uncle.]
[I'm sure something good will happen again.]
[Thank you.]
[It seems Maisie has troubled you so much.]
[Thank you so much for everything.]
I ended up leaving it cold at the end...
When I thought about how my uncle must have felt, I felt a little guilty.
[I hope things go well with Silas.]
The words spilled out naturally, not sarcastically or maliciously.
It's not like I've been able to forgive anything, and I don't think I'll ever like Maisie again.
And I don't think I'll ever like Silas either.
But that doesn't mean I want them to be unhappy.
Deep down, despite the feeling that it didn't really matter, I also hoped that they would just continue to do their best without me knowing.
For some reason, Felicia felt relieved when she realized that she had those feelings inside her.
And in that relief, I felt like I saw a glimmer of hope that maybe I could write poetry again.
