The next day, my parents stopped by to bid farewell, saying that they had to return because they're busy at home.
I wasn't sure how my mother convinced my father, but he just said, "You can get married in future, but I hope you can promise me that you'll keep it as a secret for half a year."
Thinking about it, I could understand his intention. Aidan was a man with pride. If I were to be with Aidan as soon as I divorced, it would inevitably be perceived as an affair by other people. But if it was six months later, they possibly wouldn't think so.
Gossiping was unavoidable living in the village. I knew that. Furthermore, I couldn't bear to see my parents be judged with pointing fingers because of me.
Besides, It was his concession to this situation, so I agreed meekly.
Before my father
