This Marriage Must End in Tragedy (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 61

Damion had already changed the purpose of his life.

Now, simply living together with Ansi had become the most important value to him. He had vowed to spend his entire life by her side, atoning to her. He looked forward to that future.

For that sake, Damion could abandon his resolve to claim Orphe. He could even feign the role of an affectionate son before the duke and duchess who had once turned their backs on him.

Would Ansi feel the same? Just as this thought entered Damion’s mind—

“Has Ansi fallen asleep?”

Sophia asked, turning toward Damion. Light had returned to her face once more.
