"Everyone in Aethelburg knows you're the fake heiress kicked out of the Quincy Family. You have no money and no connections. By staying with Felix, you're no help at all. He needs to start over, which requires money and connections, neither of which you can give him."
"It would be one thing if you were just useless, but you insist on causing trouble for Felix. You were careless and got involved with some man, and that man came for revenge and nearly got Felix run over and killed! Felix had no choice but to call the police, but you don't have the power to make them investigate the matter thoroughly."
"What are you, if not a burden? You think you're so special just because you're pregnant? Don't forget, I'm a woman too. If Felix wants, I can give him children too."

Sonia Quincy listened in silence, leisurely finishing the pork flatbread in her hands.
