Victoria heard Michael actually call Merlin Edvin "irresponsible."
Her heart couldn't help but beat faster.
Yet she couldn't let anything show on her face.
Just now, she had been contemplating how to keep her affair with Merlin Edvin a secret.
But now, with Michael suddenly saying such a thing, she began to worry that Merlin Edvin might truly become "irresponsible."
What if she was unlucky enough to get pregnant?
Or even if she didn't get pregnant, but Merlin Edvin disappeared and refused to marry her, what should she do then?
As Victoria's mind raced with these thoughts, a maid inquired from outside, "Your Highness, how are you?"
Victoria and Michael immediately straightened up.
Was Victoria coming?
"Victoria, darling." As she entered, Victoria called out to her in an incredibly horrified tone, "I knew you were here. Did you know something has happened to the Shaw family?"
Victoria and Michael exchanged glances.
