Pregnant and Favored: See You in the Morning, Young Master novel Chapter 1955

“That aside… We apologize for her rashness, but she’s simply incapable of accepting defeat without a fight. Trust us when we say that we’ve tried to change that time and again… Anyway, we only agreed to her wish since we don’t want the cousins to hate each other right off the bat. All in all, since you’re so confident that there won’t be any issues in the next ten days, then just accept her challenge!”
