“If I showed any sign of low spirits in front of him, he would’ve dragged me to City Hall for the marriage certificate this instant. I truly don’t want my wretched father and my useless brother to gain any advantage. Why should I bear the burden of their debts?”
Tears welled up in Lydia’s eyes. Reflecting on Brayden, her voice quivered.
“I know how earnestly he’s tried to shield me. But I won’t let him descend into the abyss with me.”
Hannah’s voice exuded calm and solace. She embraced Lydia tightly.
“I understand. Don’t worry. I’ll handle this matter for you “Hannah, you’re so kind. What would I do without you?” Lydia enveloped Hannah in a hug, seeking comfort.

“What are you on about?” Lydia’s mood immediately soured.

Hannah affectionately patted Lydia’s head.
“If it could be neatly explained, a breakup wouldn’t be necessary.”
Detecting the existence of a complicated story, Lydia narrowed her eyes and leaned in.
