Kinda confused why the mother had “unknown origins” like isn’t she the daughter of a duke ???
Anyways I really like how it’s going so far it’s really cute ☺️
The mother-in-law would be truly dangerous and resourceful supporter if she was really a commoner and has survived so long in the aristocratic circle as a duchess.
Street smart and the ability to wield power really makes a fearsome combo.
@tannies I think she is an actress who married into the dukedom. Previous chapters mentioned that grandpa and his friend only had sons (and couldn’t unite the families through marriage), plus Cedric said that Langtons are pure-blooded nobles and that was the one thing he lacked (Chapter 1)
MIL stepped on a landmine at the end there. She was already losing the battle, but I'm betting that she'll lose the war by the end of the next chapter. lol
