"And you? Do you like my brother? Have you already given birth to his son, and he hasn't proposed to you yet?" followed immediately by a counter question that made Irene freeze.
Since Irene had asked her that question, Arabel decided to answer her in kind.
She was curious to know how the relationship between Irene and her brother was developing now. No matter how hard Arabel tried, she couldn't see the rings on Irene's hand, which meant they hadn't married, despite having a child together.
Knowing her brother's character, Arabel couldn't help but wonder: "Why?"
"Arslan proposed to me," Irene said after a short pause. "Immediately after we found out that I was going to have a child, he asked me to become his wife. He wanted to take responsibility, but..."
Irene fell silent, not knowing how to express her feelings.
"Did you reject him?" — Arabel asked impatiently, not waiting for Irene to find a suitable answer.
