I Don’t Need a Father for My Child, Just Pay Child Support

Euphrasia found herself carrying the child of the influential Duke Herrington, the man who held power in the empire. He offered to take responsibility. She knew she shouldn’t have trusted him… But it wasn’t until her wedding day, when she was poisoned to death, that Euphrasia regretted her choice. Just when she thought everything was over, she found herself returning to the past. To the moment when Duke Herrington first proposed marriage. “I will gladly take responsibility for you. And, of course, for our child.” There was no way she would die twice. Euphrasia forced the brightest smile she could muster. “I don’t need a father for my child.” Instead, “Just pay child support. As much as possible.” Her plan was simple: take only the money she needed and stay as far away from the Duke as possible. This time, she had to protect herself and her child, no matter what. “Of course, I must take responsibility. However, until it is proven that the child is my son, you will have to remain at the Ducal estate for the time being.” But why does this man keep saying such strange things?
