Saved Him, Now I'm Obsessed (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 167

I nodded at Ian’s words that one must love only one person for life.

“Putting love aside, there should be loyalty between husband and wife! The nobles who sent these gifts seem to share the same nasty mindset—to go to such trouble just to mock someone else’s misfortune.”

Just how bored and idle must they be to spend both money and effort sending such things?

“It’s not just about making fun of you—there are surely those who send gifts precisely to build a bridge. They pretend to offer condolences while eyeing your spot. Of course, it’s not exactly a desirable match.”

According to Ian’s further explanation, those who became widowers early due to accidents or illness, or divorced because they had no heirs and were now alone, never missed such opportunities. Frowning in confusion, I said,

Among my patients were many grandmothers, and they often said this: of all the habits a person can never truly correct, the worst is infidelity.

They claimed it was like an illness—if someone promised never to cheat again, they’d inevitably do it once more. Hearing this, I’d always thought that if such a thing ever happened to me, I’d cut them off immediately.

But still, I should hear the other party’s side before deciding. After all, all of this might stem from a misunderstanding.

Of course, I was considering breaking off the engagement. But if he truly was at fault, I wanted a proper apology before closing the matter. I didn’t want to find out about it like this—receiving gifts from others and being mocked.

‘That’s just too rude to me!’

Ian seemed to think I was saying this because I still had lingering feelings for Lord Eloyd. He frowned deeply and said,
