Vampire'S Secret Baby
|97|. Can You Love Me Sincerely?
Emma did not make things difficult, decided to immediately soak in the bathtub that had been prepared by the waiter. There were already scattered rose petals floating in the water. A few drops of rose essential oil have been mixed in the water. Bring a calm sensation and relax the mind. The two maids came twitching their arms and the others kneaded their temples slowly.
Emma who closed her eyes was comfortable, still holding a grudge against the butler who had dared to say so underestimated her. He even thought about complaining to Duke Rajeev and seeing what would happen to the middle-aged butler.
Annette went to Egbert's study with a bad mood hanging on her face. He looked like a wife who was about to die of jealousy. That arrival, only made Egbert link his pair of eyebrows in wonder. But not caring so much, Egbert continued to open the document and take notes.
"Egbert"
"Eum" Egbert's hands were so deftly holding his pen when writing and his serious appearance was eye-catching.
"Do you really think of me as your wife?"
Egbert's eyes glanced at Annette. Before long, he refocused on the documents that were on the table. Nodding her head, she gave her calm reply, "As long as I don't divorce you of course you're my wife"
Annette clenched her hands as the green veins on her temple held in anger, "So you're thinking of divorcing me?"
Raising one of his eyebrows, Egbert could feel the situation of the woman was somewhat different from before. Shouldn't he be in good shape after filling his stomach with that delicious meal earlier?
But what is with this significant change in mood?
"Of course not" Egbert chose to serve him accordingly. He even generously explained, "The agreement five years ago no longer applies because you've escaped from it. And again I promised you I'd die, I'd only take my death if I divorced you"
Annette was not satisfied with that answer. Frowning his face, he asked unhappily, "Do you regret the promise of death you made me the other day?"
"A little bit" Egbert innocently nodded.
The feeling of heat radiated into the veins of his brain. Making Annette almost explode with indescribable rage, "Egbert, if I ask you to fall in love in three days with me, would you be willing to do it?"
Annette realized her question was starting to sound illogical. Obviously love is not something that can be arranged when it comes. But his uncontrollable jealousy and anger, had damaged a bit of sanity in him.
Upon hearing the word 'love' Egbert's movements instantly stopped. He dropped his pen and raised his head towards Annette who was sitting on the sofa. Her ice-cold eyes, shrouded in emotion that Annette was unsure what it was. But apparently...
That's not a good thing.
"Why are you suddenly talking about this?"
"Why can't I discuss this with you?" Annette folded her hands in front of her chest putting on her serious appearance, "You already consider me to be your wife and in the human world all wives yearn for the love of their husbands. I'm one of them too. So, I ask you one more time, can you do it?"
Egbert sensed something was squeezing his heart and it made his reflexes pressurize his chest in pain.
Seeing the man's depressed expression, Annette changed her request, "Forget three days' time. In a month or maybe a year, after we continue to live and mingle under the same roof, can you love me sincerely as your wife?" Questioning that, Annette could feel her heart rustling in a hopeful vibe.
Even if their world is different and does not care in front of it is not human. If only the cold-blooded man would say 'yes', then he would be ready to accept all the consequences of their relationship. He will only devote himself as a wife who will continue to love him until the end.
No matter what happened five years ago...
No matter how much suffering he had endured...
Perhaps this is the destiny of his love, which has a very different port to women in general.
Egbert could feel the look of Annette's grief-stricken eyes staring at her in hope. But thinking of the word 'love', it made his body react abnormally. He could feel his heart pounding unnaturally, it suddenly became fast. Surprisingly again, he began to have difficulty breathing and felt his back was already soaked in sweat.
"Lu-forget" Egbert clenched his hands at the table, trying to set an unnatural oddity.
"Don't ever discuss this topic in the future"
"But—" Annette hasn't even resolved her complaint. He saw that Egbert had already moved in a hurry to leave the study. He behaved like he really did not like the topic he had just discussed.
Annette blinked her heated eyes. Her heart hurts. After all, she was just a normal woman who wanted to feel the love of a sincere man towards her. It's not about his thirst or his loneliness. It is simply her psychological need that yearns for something romantic and sweet.
After all, he considered me his wife...
The two of us were also legally married following the customs of his vampire nation...
So is it too much if I expect this?
Is it wrong if I want her true love as a husband for me?
In that solitude, Annette drowned her face in the palm and cried as she pleased.
