Chapter 237 - Mother, I Am Pregnant!
Daryn tugged her again towards him and gave her one of his passionate kisses that left her breathless. A kiss as if that was his last one, as if after that he would go for a battle and never return. When he had thoroughly nibbled and squeezed her lips to a swollen condition, he left her and asked, "So who were your boyfriends before you t ?"
Dawn walked past him holding a hand over her lips giving him angry looks. "I will tell when you tell."
He chased his wife to the car and had to give in to her demand, not because he was comfortable with it, but because he wanted to know who her boyfriends were.
"Rosalina, Betty, Ginger, Tiara, Kelly…" When he said the na of the last one, Dawn's right eyebrow was already raised to the sky.
"You had sixteen of them?" she asked. She thought that he had only a dozen or so, but that was all the dia information. And now he was saying he had sixteen girlfriends before him whom he bedded.
"Well, I had a few before I turned eighteen, so you may add that to the tally…" he added sheepishly. His face was flushed when he was finished speaking. However, he looked at her unabashedly and said, "Now it's your chance. Tell the na of all your boyfriends!" He was about to murder them this night.
Dawn bit her lips as she gazed at him with narrowed eyes. First she nodded and then shook her head. The information was… unsettling. Suddenly she felt that she should have had a string of affairs only to counter this man at this ti. "Aren't you ashad of yourself?" she asked. "You Don Juan! You Casanova! You roué." She yelled at him in the car.
"Tell woman!" He spoke like an arrogant person.
She gritted her teeth. "I ca close to one but he played a dirty ga with with his girlfriend only to get expelled from the university. I exposed his libertine in ti and saved myself from debauchery." Dawn turned her face away when she rembered how Oscar had cheated with his own girlfriend also. It was simply disgusting. "His na was Oscar." She looked back at Daryn and shrugged. "That's it."
Daryn's eyes traveled to the roof of the car. He knew she was virgin, but the thought of soone else touching her raked his heart deeply. "Umm… That's good then," he replied with pride.
An awkward silence as his wife stared at him.
"But you are the prettiest," he said as a consolation. "And the most beautiful. And my mate. And I can't think of a life without you. And the mother of my child. And…"
By the ti they reached ho, his 'And' list was endless because Dawn was pouting with puffed cheeks in anger and was silent. She stepped out of the car.
"Baby…" he rushed after her. "I am sorry!"
He just didn't want to sleep on the couch tonight, or any other night. She had trapped him. She didn't have a single boyfriend and he had so many girlfriends. But in his defense he was a virile Lykae.
The day passed in doing things for his wife.
By the ti it was evening the whole household was abuzz with activity. They had put everything in order. The butler had made a five al course and her room was arranged nicely. Pia and Caleb had gone to the airport to receive her.
After taking a light bath, Dawn had worn sothing very simple in order not to attract her attention. She had decided to stay quiet for the night and only go for customary hello. As for Daryn, she could sense how nervous he was. In the end he just asked her, "Would you like to go to the Silver Arcade for the ti my mother is here?"
"No Daryn, this is my ho too," she replied, which made his chest swell with pride.
Half an hour later, the noise in the living room drew their attention. Pia was going all over the place with her adoration of Sedora. Dawn ca down to the living room along with her husband to greet her mother-in-law. And she was stunned. Sedora looked like a goddess. Her skin was radiating and her hair had grown further down, black curls falling like cascades. Dressed in a black skirt and a black silk shirt, she looked like a sorceress.
In one word – enchanting.
When their eyes t, Dawn said, "Hello mother."
"Mother?" mocked Pia. "She looks younger than you Dawn."
Ignoring Pia, Sedora said, "Hello Dawn." After a pause she said, "Congratulations on your pregnancy. The council has approved of it, which is interesting."
Dawn's body shuddered. She could feel hostility radiating from Sedora. Shouldn't she be happy that she is about to have a grandchild? The question brought Dawn back to wondering how much Gayle supported her. Her eyes went to him and he was looking as if he would attack Sedora if she tried to harm Dawn or her baby.
"Yes, the council must have thought sothing, which is why they had approved," said Gayle. No one could take his grandchild away from him.
"Indeed," said Sedora and walked to sit on the couch.
Pia ran after her and sat back. "Mother, I have great news for you!" She was so excited that she could hardly contain herself.
Sedora removed her black lacy gloves and tossed them aside. Looking bored, she asked, "Tell about it Pia."
Pia gazed at everyone with her eyes as they sat down. "Mother, I am pregnant!"
Sedora's eyes shot up at her with a glint. As did others too. Pia spoke it so loudly that even the servants in the kitchen must have heard her.
"Pregnant?" she said as if not believing her. "We are going to get a pureblooded child in family?" Her voice was full of pride and pretentiousness.
Dawn's mouth dropped, but she collected herself and said, "Congratulations Pia."
Obviously Pia didn't acknowledge her and continued to look at Sedora. And Sedora did what she wanted.
They hugged.
Everyone else in the room was shocked at the news. Caleb was feeling proud. Daryn said, "That's lovely brother! Both of us are going to be parents together. Many congratulations!"
Caleb smiled and shrugged.
Happy at the news, Sedora unclasped her gold necklace and curled her hands around Pia's neck to make her wear it. A reward. "That's for the good news you've given. Now stay healthy and give proper pups for the clan to move forward."
"Oh my God!" Pia exclaid. "Thank you mother!" She hugged Sedora tightly.
Dawn lowered her eyes to her lap. Daryn held her hand and squeezed it. "Hey! I love you," he whispered. The way his mother behaved, it was disdainful, but he was sohow always afraid of her.
"I love you too," she whispered.
"Let's have dinner," said Sedora with affection "I don't want my Pia to keep my grandchildren hungry."
Gayle frowned at Sedora's obvious bias but he didn't comnt. It was as expected. He did congratulate the couple.
On the dining table Pia sat next to Sedora looking smug as hell.
And this ti Dawn chose to sit next to Gayle, looking smug and haughty as hell. They didn't know the amount of gifts he had bought for Dawn's babies.
