Chapter 259 - Grand Celebration
The day after this revealtion, the entire Dalastia world had joyously celebrated the pregnancy of their king's fiancee. Though Athena denied several times that it wasn't good to be known by others,Ethan couldn't simply hold back his happiness. Furthermore the news of Esme's pregnancy had added double joy in their happiness. Queen Melinda suddenly couldn't hold back so much happiness in her life. Now she was getting a bunch of heirs who were probably new kind in this world. Still she was proud to become the grandmother of this wonder kids.
Days passed away in a blink of eye. This days,Ayra had become the apple of everyone's attention in the castle. Even some certain vampire king used to look for her once he returned after finishing his official matters. Due to Ayra's mysterious problems, Athena specifically hired some maids to keep a closer eye on her. The two mothers were still not in ease as Ayra's nightmares kept bringing back occasionally. Ethan started to get prepared for their wedding as soon as possible hence his beloved woman was pregnant and he couldn't wait to claim her as his officially. The case of scnario was totally different than Katherine's time. Everyone celebrated for a day after Athena's pregnancy. Even some started to spread out that their king doted on her or how could she become so fast.
Soon it was the day of engagement ceremony in Dalastia World.The white castle was decorated so magnificently that others couldn't pull away their eyes from it. People's chatter was filled up the entire environment and one could say that they all were busy in celebrating such a special moment.
_Esme's Room_
" How long will you take?", Aaron asked leaning against the door edge with a faint smile. His wife had been choosing her attire for an hour simply because she wanted to hide her slightly protruded bump. Her stomach was growing fast this days. It was probably because she had twins inside and were growing too fast.
Esme snorted tidying her gown neatly,
" It's all your children's fault. Look, I don't fit in any gown."
Aaron shook his head helplessly, straightened up and started to approach her with a doting smile,
" You look gorgeous in whatever you wear."
Esme pouted and started to do her hairs while asking impatiently,
" When will Carol come? What about Viviana and Jasper?"
Aaron smiled with a deep voice as his eyes heatingly watched her curved bossoms through the mirror,
" They should be coming here within few moments."
With this saying,his hand naturally went upwards to caress her chest which made her froze. She continued doing her hairs and threatened coldly,
" You....Stop doing this.. You are distracting me.."
Aaron didn't stop and smiled cheekily. As his hand started to crawl underneath her clothes, they both heard an urgent voice running inside the room,
" Daddy.. Mommy.. Everyone is waiting for you...How long will you take?"
Aaron jolted and reflexively put back his hand with a poker face. Esme laughed softly and spoke to her daughter with a loud voice,
" Come inside,baby. We are done nearly."
Soon after the little beauty ran inside with a pinkish gown. Her hairs were neatly binded and she appeared like a barbie doll. Aaron's heart melted at the sight of her baby face and his earlier anger had disappeared within a moment. He bent down to lift up the running beauty in his arms cautiously and warned in a soft voice,
" Don't run too recklessly, Princess. See, you can stoop down anytime since you are wearing such a heavy gown today."
Ayra nodded with understanding and urged the couple anxiously,
" Let's go.. Let's go.. Everyone is waiting..You are doing late."
Esme was done with the last touch of her makeup and pecked on her cheeks lovingly. Then she put on her bracelet and headed outside together with Aaron and Ayra towards the direction of hallway.
Naturally the hallway was crowded today with the chatters of people. The newly expected couple were already standing over the stage under everyone's watchful eyes and waited for them. Ethan who was nervous as hell for becoming a daddy finally asked with worry in his tone,
" Honey, can you stand still for so long? Or should I ask someone to bring you a chair?"
Athena couldn't stop herself from rolling her eyes. From that moment,this man had gotten to know that he was doing ridiculous things. He would wake up at the middle of night and ask her that was she wishing to eat something or not. Even sometimes he asked that he could hunt for her if she craved to drink blood. He was nagging her like a little baby but actually she loved it dearly. During her first pregnancy, she only had little time to spend with Edward which made her feeling very lonely. Now this days, she had everyone by her side who loved and cared for her deeply that was something she always craved for.
Now she was only standing for five minutes and this man has already started to get worried. She gave him a stern look and spoke with a smile,
" If you continue doing this in front of so many people, I will surely give birth to your child in Moonshine. You are getting on my nerves gradually."
Ethan panicked instantly and replied with a coaxing voice,
" No..no...I was merely asking..."
He heavied a sigh of relief when she didn't argue back and scoffed arrogantly,
" Where did they go, damn it! It must be your brother who is getting late."
Athena's brotherly affection had already turned on. She glared at the man beside her coldly and scoffed back,
" Why are you dragging my brother into it,huh? He isn't doing make-up like your sister doing. It must be Esme who is taking longer time."
Ethan eventually wanted to retort but one of the guard annouced that the princess had arrived in the hallway loudly. Everyone looked at their way and saw the family of trio entering together side by side. Aaron who was carrying Ayra in his arms gave off a domineering aura which charmed the audience. Even some of them looked at Esme enviously for having a king as her husband even though when she had no status and powers.
Queen Melinda enjoyed the look on everyone's eyes on her daughter. They were those people who used to tell that Esme wouldn't get a good husband in the future after her ban was declared among the citizens. She arched her head up proudly and walked over to greet Aaron formally while leading him towards a respectable spot.
Athena smiled with relief when she saw Aaron and Esme chatting together happily. Ethan still had a grimace in his eyes when he saw his little princess cuddling on Aaron's arms.
Why this scary man won over his family's heart so easily?
Ethan wondered, turned around and suddenly asked Athena with a demanding voice,
" You better give birth to a daughter for me."
Athena was stunned before brusting into laughter. She was amused with Ethan's expression badly and asked clapping her hands together,
" I just hope that you and my brother wouldn't go for a war for the sake of my little princess. Look.. look..she loves to spend time with my brother.She even calls him ' Daddy' now."
Ethan's face darkened further. He gestured at the priest to start the ritual fast and mumbled while getting on track,
" After we get married, I will also ask Ayra to call me 'Daddy'."
Athena shook her head helplessly and compelled with the rituals of their engagement ceremony obediently. She could predict that this two men would crazy to win over Ayra in the upcoming future.
From the backstage, Aaron watched his sister exchanging ring with a proud smile. He was proud of her because after so much suffering, she had finally found the right man for her who embraced her flaws and loved her wholeheartedly. She was ready to let of her past and welcome a new beginning which was something hard. Loving someone is easy but loving yourself is the most difficult thing that ever exist in life. If she wouldn't start cherishing for her own happiness, she wouldn't have stood there so confidently with Ethan. Ethan had only worked as a medium to open up her heart.
Aaron sighed softly with a smile and his eyes fell on the doorway where Carol, Jasper and Viviana had just arrived. Aaron tapped on Esme's shoulders and pointed at them softly,
" Look over there."
Esme immediately followed his direction and exclaimed excitedly,
" Carol! Viviana! "
On the other side, Ron was hesitating in front of door for a long time. After going through a lot of strugglings,he finally knocked and a middle aged woman pulled open the door fast.
Before Ron could inquire anything, the woman shouted rubbing her sleepy eyes,
" You came back again? Boy, I have told you already that she hasn't come here. Why do you come back again and again? Let me tell it clearly! She won't dare to come back to me after fooling around outside for so many years. You better not come again and again to disturb me anymore."
After that saying, the woman shut off the door with a bang without showing any courtesy to the man outside. Ron could only remain in daze for a long time. He didn't know why did he come here but he at least thought of taking a look. What if she comes back here?
