The news of Vicente's successful proposal to Nina went viral on the Internet. Everyone on C Island knew the beautiful princess was going to marry the young count.
Vicente was the prince charming of many girls, and Nina was the dream girl of many men. The news had rudely awakened the men from their dreams and shattered their hearts into pieces.
On the contrary, the girls talked about the love story between Nina and Vicente with great interest.
It was more like fiction than news, actually.
Netizens came up with different stories about their romance, like "childhood sweethearts having secret crushes on each other," "marriage for political connections and not love," "childhood friends to sweethearts," and many more. Ultimately, the most popular among these stories was themed "God never disappoints a patient lover—Vicente finally calls Nina his."
The women sighed dreamily, saying "All shall be well, Jack shall have Jill."
In addition, Nina finally saw their fans on the Internet. Their fans suggested for them to hold their marriage on July 7th, the Qixi Festival.
Nina's parents agreed to this proposal and set the wedding on that date.
Nina was speechless during the discussion of the wedding day. Her opinion was not solicited at all.
After they had ironed out the details, she finally spoke up. "Don't you need my input at all?"
"Nina, you only need to take good care of yourself," Anne said.
"And take care of my grandchild," Bruce interjected, looking at Nina's belly with an expectant smile.
At present, everyone in the living room was aware that Nina was expecting. Except for Rebecca, all of the servants had been dismissed, so they did not have to tiptoe around the topic.
However, Bruce still warned Vicente seriously with a straight face, "Boy, you promised that you would treat my daughter's child as your own, so I allowed you two to get married so soon. If you dare to do something to hurt my daughter in the future, you know that the consequences will be dire."
"Yes, sir." Vicente smiled politely and sincerely reassured them. "I really like Nina, and she was kind enough to grant me this opportunity. I will never take this for granted, and I will take good care of her and the child."
Anne was worried, but none of her anxiety showed on her face, which remained cold and domineering. "I don't quite believe that you would accept another man's child and take it for your own. What I do believe, however, is that you're willing to accept the child because of your love for Nina. I need you to promise me something."
"Please go ahead," Vicente said calmly.
Anne stared into Vicente's eyes and said in a serious tone, "I need your word that you will treat Nina's baby as your own in truth, and that without the child's consent, you and Nina cannot have another child."
Vicente stared at the queen with a blank face, but her mind was racing. 'I can't make a baby even if I wanted to.
How can two women make a baby?'
Vicente felt embarrassed at the thought.
At the same time, Nina whispered to her father, "Dad, why do I have to ask for this child's permission to have a second child?"
She thought about how John was excited to have a baby and wanted more than one child, so she had to ask.
Bruce whispered, "To avoid the discord between siblings. Do you know why your brother adores you so much?"
Nina shook her head. The question never occurred to her before.
"It was because your mother asked his opinion before she got pregnant with you. She also told him that he wouldn't be lonely if he had a brother or sister. You weren't conceived until your brother agreed to a younger sibling, so he did not resent you when the wrinkly little ball that was you came out. He just kept looking at you with a fascinated smile.
