Chapter 740 Announcement

Sylvia’s POV:

I stayed in the forbidden forest until the red marks on my hand almost healed.

When I returned to the imperial palace, I was summoned to meet Ethan by his subordinates. I was confused and had no idea why the king suddenly wanted to see me.

Rufus was already at Ethan’s palace when I got there. Both Laura and a team of doctors were present too. I stopped in my tracks and had a theory why they were gathered here.

Sure enough, Laura came up to me in excitement when I walked through the door. “Sylvia, you’re finally back! How have you been? Are you alright? Why didn’t you tell me that you are pregnant? That’s exciting news!”

I didn’t know how to respond to her. Laura had indeed been trying to build a cordial relationship with me, but today was the first time she was this enthusiastic.

Her eyes squinted in excitement. It was clear from her expression that she was overjoyed. She was a queen who ruled with grace and beauty. Whenever she smiled, the very corners of her mouth would only slightly tilt upward. But right now, her pearly whites were on display. It was very much apparent that she was in a great mood.

I secretly winked at Rufus, wanting him to help me through this awkward situation.

Grinning, Rufus gently pulled his mother aside. “Please take it easy, mom. You might frighten the baby with your enthusiasm.”

Laura grumbled, “Nonsense! When I was pregnant with you, your father was so over the moon that he laughed heartily every day and everyone in the imperial palace could hear him. But you were still healthy and safe in my belly.”

Embarrassed about being exposed, Ethan quickly grabbed Laura’s hand and whispered, “Honey, don’t embarr@ssme in front of the kids.”

Laura gave him a side glance and lifted her chin in a haughty scoff. Then she turned to the doctors and requested they develop a nutritional regimen for me. She had to make sure that I would have enough nutrition during the pregnancy.

Instinctively, I broke into a chuckle. I had no idea Laura was so endearing until today. I guessed that Laura would only occasionally let her guard down in front of Ethan.

When Laura finally calmed down, Ethan resumed his conversation with Rufus. His eyes welled up with moisture as he kept nagging cheerfully.

“Finally, you have a successor. Recently, I’ve been dreaming about an adorable little kid calling me Grandpa. It’s indeed a good sign.”

Then he whispered in Rufus’ ear, “I finally don’t have to place my hope on Lucy’s baby. Although they are both my grandchildren, I still feel strange when I think of the baby in Lucy’s belly. I can’t put into words how I feel exactly. It just feels like something is really wrong.”

Smiling, Rufus kept mum and reassured Ethan that everything would be okay. Although he meant to only whisper, Ethan was so excited that he couldn’t control his voice, so I could still hear it.

I remained silent and slipped out quietly to avoid intruding on their talk. Then I went over to Laura and sat down next to her to chat.novelbin

At dinner, Ethan and Laura showered me with love and care as if I was a piece of fragile treasure. I was not used to it. Except for Leonard, no elder had cared so much about me before.

Fortunately, Rufus was there to rescue me from embarrassment. For instance, when Ethan and Laura filled my plate with food and I could not finish it, Rufus silently ate them all for me. He also accepted all the gifts that his parents gave me and thanked them for me.

Later that night, I finally had the opportunity to speak with Rufus. I carefully glanced at Ethan and Laura, who were busy inspecting the baby clothes, making sure that they didn’t have their attention on me. Then I asked, “Why did you suddenly announce my pregnancy? Didn’t we agree that we would keep it a secret from them for the time being?”
