“I can’t marry him. Not after this.” Mikael turns his gaze toward Erik. “You told me this one was different.” Erik takes in a sharp breath. “Milly is open for anything. She’s just shocked.” I whirl around. “What does that even mean?” Erik jerks his head to the side, unable to look me in the eye. There’s no sign of his mother, who I guess has disappeared into the ensuite bathroom. It’s Mikael who answers. “Erik was supposed to bring back a girl eager to continue the family tradition.”
