After saying that, Sean strode away.

He was going to hand Eric over to face his punishment to settle this terrible disaster once and for all.

I turned to follow him, but Paige called out to me, "Tia Johnson! Don't be so smug! Even without Eric, I can still bear children! I will produce a son who is ten times greater than yours!"

I smiled and nodded gently. "Wonderful. I'll be waiting."

I had already laced the cupcakes Sean ate with a potent poison that would leave him permanently infertile.

  • I'll Save Us from His Cursed Mistress   Chapter 9

    After saying that, Sean strode away.He was going to hand Eric over to face his punishment to settle this terrible disaster once and for all.I turned to follow him, but Paige called out to me, "Tia Johnson! Don't be so smug! Even without Eric, I can still bear children! I will produce a son who is ten times greater than yours!"I smiled and nodded gently. "Wonderful. I'll be waiting."I had already laced the cupcakes Sean ate with a potent poison that would leave him permanently infertile.She thought she was highly fertile?It would be a miracle if she conceived again.Eric's leg was broken, and he was sent to a remote village to be kept out of sight.Paige, fueled by desperate energy, fought bitterly against the two new concubines for Sean's favor.Although Stanley and Katie were fond of Griffin, they still hoped Sean would have more children.Unfortunately, two whole years passed without a single pregnancy in the household.Paige had started bearing children too young, a

    Suppressing my disgust, I set the cupcakes down right in front of Sean."You really are impossible to please. I'm only doing this for your sake and for the sake of the Clay family's future heirs. How can you blame me for that? If you really want me to go… I'll leave."The moment I turned around, Sean wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me onto his lap. "I didn't mean it like that. It just hurts seeing you push me toward other women. It makes me feel like you don't love me anymore."I had stopped loving him a long time ago. It was almost laughable that he was only realizing it now."My body hasn't fully recovered yet. It wouldn't be right for me to keep you all to myself."Besides, you might be avoiding Paige's quarters right now, but can you stay away forever? I'd much rather see you spend your nights with someone else than with her."My slightly jealous tone elicited a soft laugh from Sean. "I know I've wronged you in the past, so I've been keeping my distance from her l

    I turned away, ignoring Sean entirely.It was time to make them sweat."Tia, I-I was a fool! I deserved to be struck down! You can hit me or yell at me. Just… please don't ignore me…"He used to say that all the time.Yet now, nothing disgusted me more than him putting on that familiar face to speak to me."Prepare a carriage. I'm going home.""Home? Tia, this is your home."Without another word, I threw off the blanket and headed out, running straight into Stanley and Katie.Just like on our wedding night, they showered me with endless sweet talk and gentle coaxing.When the time felt right, I dropped to my knees, burying my face in my hands as tears streamed down."I know how good you are to me, but after everything today, I can't bear it. I beg you to let me return to my maiden home for a short stay, just to clear my mind."With my soft submission, they could hardly stop me.Upon my return, my family adamantly refused to let me ever go back.So, I told them about the vi

    Paige froze, the joy on her face faltering. "What… do you mean?"Gideon turned his rosary beads. His gaze passed right over her to settle directly on me. "The blessed child is right there. The prophecy I delivered that day was spoken directly to Lady Tia. I had no idea the rest of you would misinterpret it so completely."The hall fell dead silent.It was as if someone had pressed a pause button. Everyone froze in place, forgetting even to breathe."No way!"Paige was the first to shriek. She sprang up from the ground like a startled animal. "She killed my child! How could the baby in her belly possibly be the blessed one?"Gideon didn't bother to argue. He simply turned his gaze toward Her Majesty."Your Majesty, have you not calculated the timeline of Lady Tia's pregnancy?"Her Majesty and Katie exchanged a long look.Suddenly, Katie clapped her hands together. Tears still hung in the corners of her eyes, yet her lips curled into a grin. "Yes! The timeline matches! Tia was a

    Hardly anyone caught Gideon's words because the midwife's sharp cry from inside the delivery room drowned everything out."The baby's born! Lady Paige has given birth!"The crowd swarmed into the chamber.Even the maidservants pressed closer, eager to catch a glimpse of the blessed child.Unable to go inside, Stanley paced outside frantically."Is it a boy? What am I talking about? Of course it's a boy! Thank heavens! Thank heavens!"The eunuch delivering my punishment finished the hundred slaps and stepped back.He approached Stanley, offering his congratulations.As I watched the chaos unfold, my head throbbed. Instinctively, I rested a hand on my lower abdomen.When I raised my eyes, Gideon was standing right in front of me. "My lady, I'm so sorry you had to endure that.""Mr. Ambrose, I have a question. Is the baby I'm carrying—"Before I could finish, Sean's frantic roar echoed from the delivery room. "It's a girl? How could it be a girl?"Katie and Her Majesty rushed

    Three days passed before Sean bothered to spare me a single visit.He had barely sat down when Paige summoned him away under the pretext of feeling unwell.I didn't react, carrying on as usual by spending my days with Katie.She often took my hands and offered comfort. "Once Paige gives birth, the baby will be raised under your care. You don't need to feel sad."I didn't bother arguing. Life went on peacefully enough.Half a month later, my pregnancy was officially confirmed.Though they were pleased, their attention remained entirely on Paige.No one bothered to calculate the timeline of my pregnancy.I kept quiet about it too.I simply focused on my pregnancy, enjoying the peace and freedom.In my spare hours, I went over the accounting ledgers, patching up all the financial shortfalls to ensure the businesses ran smoothly.After all, this property would belong to me in the end.The quiet shattered on the day Paige went into labor.A man in a tunic kicked my courtyard
