To You, So Noble and Vulgar (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 43
Lanster, who had been silent until now, finally spoke.
“There will be a custody issue.”
Russell, who had been standing beside Ariana’s bed, turned his head and stared at his younger brother. Lanster continued.
“Normally, unless there are serious problems, custody of a girl goes to the mother and custody of a boy goes to the father upon divorce. That’s why we couldn’t take Ariana back when that woman took her.”
“But brother, look what she’s done to the child! Does that woman even deserve to be called a mother?”
“Pelos, just hear me out. Just because Ariana fled to Dongryeong, unable to endure the abuse, doesn’t mean we can keep her here indefinitely. If Rachel finds out Ariana is here and demands to take her back, we’ll have no choice but to let her go.”
Since Lanster was right, Russell let out a deep sigh.
Russell stopped Pelos, who was about to shout again, and spoke.
“First, we must keep Ariana’s presence in Dongryeong hidden. Then, we need to gather evidence and testimonies of the abuse.”
“Yes, brother. I know you’d like to declare Ariana the Princess of Dongryeong right away, but we can’t do that yet. Securing custody of Ariana must come first.”
Lanster looked down at Ariana with somber eyes.
“I’m sorry to say this to Ariana, but once she’s recovered somewhat, we’ll need to ask her about her life in Seoryeong. Only then can we find witnesses and evidence to win the custody battle.”

What met Ariana’s eyes three days after she awoke was a pair of blue eyes—sky-blue eyes, as clear as a cloudless day.
Those blue eyes held such gentle warmth that she thought them beautiful. It was only a moment later that she realized their owner was Russell.
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
I finally found the chapter corresponding to chapter 42 of the manhwa!
Here’s a mother who refutes the “instinctive motherhood” notion.
