Aria being usually exceptionally bright surprised me by not figuring this out sooner in the chapter. Girl, you missed the chance to ask the judge yourself, just bc you got bored. If she's acting that sus, there's gotta be sth behind it. After all, she has to be a respectable and intelligent person to be a judge. She's not some closed-off spinster
If that goes into the direction of "it's not just yours alone ... bc I own you", imma flip a table. This game of cat and mouse is too strenuous for someone who's pregnant. Now may said person kindly refrain from doing stunts that might endanger the child's health? Thanks.
