Nikola looked back at Nuo Nuying, feeling unsure.
This was big for him. He had brought forward the issue of marriage to Penemue more than once, but the angel had kept insisting that Nikola had to stay single in case a superpower appeared, and he needed to sue for peace through marriage.
Nikola had cried and raged the first time he heard this excuse, but by the hundredth time he heard it, he had stopped caring.
Now he was going to get the marriage he wanted so badly. Just not with Penemue.
Would it be so bad if he married Wei Caihong? He'll give him nine lifetimes, and then…would he be able to leave his husband for his lover?
Had Maria not died during the famine, he would have never taken up Penemue's offer, no matter how much he desired him.
But Maria had died, secretly giving her rations to her two children while suckling a third one, and ultimately clamming an illness, so Nikola wouldn't look into the heart of the matter.
