He’d rather believe somehow Ivanova’s parents didn’t notice that Marcos had the disease, and so she married him in ignorance, even though Ockham’s razor decrees that we believe the simplest explanation: Marcão’s decay progressed like every other, testes first, and all of Novinha’s children were sired by someone else…What I don’t understand, if why Novinha didn’t marry Libo in the first place. It makes no sense at all for her to have married a man she obviously despised, whose disease she certainly knew about, and then to go ahead and bear children to the man she must have loved from the beginning.” (Pg. 140-141; Ch. 9)
it does if she's trying to hide certain files from him only accesible to a husband of hers... what better target then a husband who's bound to die and most likely doesn't care about anything else...but that's not the importance of this quote. the importance... it that we learned that all of Novinha's children were illegitimate, and their real father was Libo... making the connection for quote #3.
