Vampire'S Secret Baby
|30|. Running the Role of Your Husband

Yep. Annette lulled so easily. Whether it is because of his stupidity so easily lied to or maybe because of his fragility so that he just drifted away in the situation.

Egbert held onto both of Annette's shoulders gently, leading the girl slowly to the romantic dinner table the servants had prepared at her residence. Not there, Egbert also pulled a chair and let Annette sit down. Annette smiled slightly as she nodded her head nervously as a form of thanksgiving.

"We vampires can't eat your food humans. But we can eat something other than blood like a liver. But it means nothing to our bodies" Egbert said, perhaps it was the second time Annette had heard the man speak so much.

"That's why in order to survive, we still have to consume blood. Unlike humans who have a lot to eat, our bodies only accept it as an intake"

"Geez.." Annette was bearded and smiling. It felt good to hear Egbert speak at length about something. Perhaps it was because his cold voice sounded to be a little warmer.

"I told Mary to prepare a roasted beef liver, hopefully this time the baby in your stomach does not complain to make you feel nauseous" Egbert said again. She could see that my dear Annette's face now seemed a little comforted by her.

"Eum" Annette nodded with a polite smile. He was happy lately that Egbert was no longer as annoying as before.

'Is it possible that the baby in my stomach is the cause?'

Annette was once again struck by reality.

Annette wanted to say something, just as Egbert came to pick up his plate and he saw the man begin to struggle with a fork and knife cutting the heart of the grilled cow into small pieces.

"Why did you turn out so good to me?" The question came out of Annette's mouth.

Making Egbert momentarily stop cutting and raise his gaze towards Annette. In the silence and the wind of the night that blew softly, he quietly sat down, 'It turns out, he's not as naive as I thought he was'

"Because you're pregnant with my son"

Annette didn't think the answer would be that easy to make her hands above her thigh involuntarily clenched, "Ah, it turns out that way" Annette smiled bitterly.

'Well, what do I expect from this guy?'

Annette laughed sweetly at her stupidity that had been going on for the past few days.

Egbert could feel Annette's sentimental behavior. He hates taking care of things like this, but inevitably he has to do it.

"Don't most husbands treat their wives more carefully when they have their children?" Egbert again struggled with a knife and fork in his hand, cutting back.

"I'm not a human being, but I'm going to try a little bit to act like a 'human husband' to comfort my wife who is a human being" after finishing cutting her into some very neat little pieces, Egbert lifted the plate and placed it in front of Annette.

"But why should you bother to do it?" Annette almost got stuck the umpteenth time. But putting forward his logic, he decided to ask further, "Isn't the relationship between us limited to paper? I don't think you need to go this far"

"Is it wrong for me to play my role as your husband?"

"..." - ".Annette blinked her eyes and fell silent.

"You don't remember what I said on the night of our wedding?" Egbert asked, "Both of our blood have met and united, it means that our marriage is legally valid in my nation. If you're uncomfortable with my treatment, I can stop it at seka—"

"Don't!" Cut Annette fast, "I'm comfortable with that, so you don't have to stop"

After dinner, Egbert accompanied Annette to sleep in her room. To her surprise, Annette found Egbert sitting right by her side lying down and massaging her legs slowly.

"Why are you massaging my legs?" Annette asked with a confused look.

"You've been walking and carrying that heavy load all day with your little body, don't your legs feel sore?" When he said the heavy weight, Egbert glanced at Annette's large belly and refocused his scowl.

Lying if he doesn't feel sick. At the beginning, he felt fine. But as his stomach grows, he sometimes begins to get a little overwhelmed if he moves too much. Annette realized it was probably because she was now in two-bodied condition.

"Thank you" Annette smiled so sincerely to the bottom of her eyes.

Egbert spoke no words and just continued to quietly massage the two legs of Annette who was not only thin but also small. Quite in accordance with his posture which is fairly small when compared to the girls in his nation.

"I've had an exhausting day this day"

In the silence of the quiet room, Annette seemed to start a serious conversation that almost led to a scene of a girl recounting her grievances to her partner.

"I got out of college, my scholarship was dropped and I was laid off from my part-time job" said all of that, Annette's eyes looked teary.

Egbert momentarily stopped scowling, but did not allow his gaze.

"Everything happened so in a row, it didn't give me any room to breathe. I wonder, since when did all this go awry?" Annette's eyelids twitched, "When I realized all the root of this problem was the night you forced me to marry you" Annette's throat choked, almost sobbing and crying.

"I almost hate you and the child in my stomach"

At that moment Egbert raised his gaze towards Annette. He could see a trace of deep sadness on that beautiful face. And how cloudy clouds filled his two eyes that used to shine so brightly every time he was resentful towards her.

"Just things got so simple, not as complicated as the day I passed right when I returned to the villa" he said later, "I found my sadness, my disappointment, my disappointment, and my misfortune— just like that I forgot them in an instant" Annette said as she gazed deep into Egbert's calm black eyes as usual.

"I never expected that in my difficult and difficult life, I would receive a romantic dinner too lavish for an ordinary girl like me"

"..." - ".Egbert's lips clenched tightly. Her gaze still did not move from staring at Annette's face.

"I can't lie that I'm not amused by what I just went through tonight and for the first time I feel like I'm the happiest woman in the world" Annette smiled so sweetly beside her eyes that it still held a hint of sadness.

"Thank you" That's what Annette said to Egbert, "Because it forced me to marry you on the night of our first meeting"

Simply put Annette wants to express...

'I don't regret marrying you'

'Notwithstanding all the chaos I have received all day...'

'But thanks to you, I don't regret it'
