English term or phrase: take this one for the team
Ava gets upset when she suspects Veronica insinuated the only reason why she's marrying Ronan is that she's pregnant.

"But I’d completely failed to consider the possibility that Veronica would think that Ronan and I were rushing to the altar because I was knocked up or that I had deliberately gotten pregnant to trap Ronan into marriage. Furious, I opened my mouth to defend myself. But before I could speak, my common sense reasserted itself. Regardless of my feelings, I needed to take this one for the team."

take one for the team: Willingly undertake an unpleasant task or make a personal sacrifice for the collective benefit of one's friends or colleagues. https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/us/take_one_for...
