My Contract Marriage Got Interrupted (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 19
Peace did not last long.
At some point, cracks began to form in that peace, and there was no clear cause to be found.
It was simply because there were too many possible explanations.
—Louis, the dowager countess is asking again whether there’s any news of a child. Shouldn’t we at least show her we’re trying?
Pressure over producing an heir.
—Didn’t you already fail to recoup the investment last time? And now you’re asking me to persuade the dowager countess to approve another huge expenditure? I can’t do it.
Business ventures hitting rough patches.
—I didn’t want to say this, but… you’ve really been unbearable lately. Can’t you please just come home once in a while? Try to understand how I feel—every time the dowager countess comes looking for you at the mansion, I have to keep telling her you’re not here.
And on top of all that, Louis’s behavior—constantly staying out—only made things worse.
Everything was feeding the growing rift.
—Odette, please don’t get irritated over something so trivial. Do you think I have no complaints about you either? Last time I bought you that fur, you didn’t even say thank you.
—How can I say thank you when I’m not grateful? When did I ever ask you to buy me fur? When did I ever say I needed one? If you had time to buy that, you could’ve just gone with me to that couples’ gathering I asked you about…
Odette burst into tears at the slightest thing. She constantly snapped, and never smiled anymore.
Even when Louis, feeling guilty, tried giving her nice things, she’d refuse them outright.
—Don’t try to placate me with things I never wanted. I’m not grateful in the slightest.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”

But wouldn’t it be the perfect time to speak with Xavier in a safe manner? There are plenty of people around and she needs information from him.
He isn’t suspicious of Duke Ertman? Considering the rumors the Duke amplified, he has motive to drive a wedge between Louis and Odette. Yet Louie doesn’t question Walter’s words? I’d think he’d be suspicious of Walter casting the curse. Walter’s motive for doing so might be unknown but his words, seemingly knowledgeable about the curse itself and blaming it upon Odette, whom the Duke has insinuated a relationship with while Odette says otherwise, gives plenty to be wary about.
Is this woman serious saying ‘I lied to them, why won’t they believe me?’ Wow she seems a bit delusional.
