Augustus sighed at his wife's stubborness. "Perhaps I had been too naive to expect you to take this instantaneously. Though i thought this would be our best solution. I don't know if what you have declared tonight is real or not, that you are barren, but I thought you would be able to accept the baby. Just think about it, if what you said is true, this vast estate, the land, the people, the properties, would all pass to some distant relatives, most likely the filthy Lemmingtons, who had been waiting to inherit our estates to cover their debts. I would come again, maybe in a few days, but please give it another thought." As he finished, he quietly left the room. He knew it would be difficult for Adeline to take it, but he just couldnt think of any other way. He once again sighed. All he wanted was an heir, yet such a simple wish had led to too much problems.
