Chapter 104Camilla POV…I never imagined that being pregnant could this tiresome especially in these last few days. Although it was tiring, nine months flew by in a flash since the day I learnt that I was pregnant. I was only remaining with a few days before delivery.At this moment, I was busking in the morning sun with a cup of tea in my hands. I was so heavy that even the act of walking was tedious. It was only with the help of Lucien I could be able to move around.“You have a phone call.” Lucien's voice came from behind me. Today being a Saturday, he did not go to the office. He was keeping me company at home.“Who is it?” I inquired.“Your sister.” Lucien said and I could hear a sigh in his voice.Ever since Zelma learnt that I was pregnant, she has been calling every single day. The doctor had said that it was not good for me to stay on the phone for too long, but she would somehow get her way around Lucien, who was now managing everything around me.I took the phone from him
Chapter 105Camilla POV…I did not stay long in the hospital and left the following day. I was already feeling fine and the pain was gone.Lucien had been extremely nervous and wanted me to stay for a few days but I refused. I did not like the smell of the hospital and the fact that it was filled with so much negative energy, it was not good for my baby.“Make sure you maintain a calm mindset. Don’t strain yourself in any possible way and you will have a smooth birth.” The doctor said.“Thank you doctor, I understand.”“Since you insist on leaving, I cannot force you to stay. Moreover, you only have a few days until delivery.”“Okay.”In the car on our way home…“What are you thinking about?” I asked Lucien who was sitting beside me. His brows were creased and he seemed to be thinking about something deeply.“If I had known that it will be this much for you, I would not have made you pregnant. You have suffered for the past nine months.” He said and I looked at him in shock.Was he fo
Chapter 106Lucien POV…The long awaited and anticipated finally arrived.I was woken by Camilla's painful cries and I knew that it was time. I did not waste a second as I rushed her to the hospital.When arrived at peoples first hospital, she was immediately rushed to the delivery room. I wanted to follow in but she weakly told me that she will be okay so, I could only remain on the corridor with a worried expression.I never knew that being pregnant was this tedious. Every cry of hers made me feel like a knife has been pierced through my heart. It twisted until it became completely numb.I walked back and forth in the corridor, not knowing what to do. How I wished that I could share her pain. If false labor had hurt so much that she fainted, what about real labor?When we reached the hospital, she was barely breathing. Will she really be able to give birth without any mishap?“Brother-in-law, don’t worry. Sister is stronger than she seems and I am sure that she will make it through.
Chapter 107Camilla POV…Although I have been pretending to be all strong and easy going, I was actually as tired as a horse. The pushing in the labor room was… I don’t even know how to say it. It is even a miracle that I did not faint.I did not want Lucien to know that I have been pretending to be strong or else, he will start blaming himself again.But I still noticed that there was something wrong with him when I left the labor room. Even after seeing me carrying our baby, he did not look as excited as I had expected.I did not know what was going on with him. He did not even want to carry our little baby, or maybe he was too tiny. Honestly, I did not know that a newborn baby will be that small. I even felt that I will not be able to hold him well and might end up hurting him.But the moment he was given to me, everything became natural as if I had been practicing for a thousand years when honestly, it was my first time as well.As for Lucien, after asking him why he was acting ou
Chapter 108Camilla POV…One hundred days went by in a blink of an eye since I gave birth. Today was the 100th full moon party and the naming of my baby.This was the moment that I have been looking forward to ever since I gave birth. Although we live in the modern society and most of the traditions are no longer important, we cannot ignore the importance of some traditions.During this period, we had already made our relationship public. Although it shocked everyone in the city, they had no choice but to accept it.Most people had been eyeing my husband and other family heads even had the guts to send them to my door, thinking that only Lucien stayed there. They wanted to strengthen their relationship with the mayor by sending women in his bed, but how could I allow that to happen?I thought that it will be fine after sending a few of them away, but they actually had the guts to go and talk shit about me online!Saying how I seduced the mayor and how am not worth of him. I was that s
Chapter 109Camilla POV…“Congratulations madam mayor, I am sure your child was born to accomplish great things alone. You are blessed to have such a cute and obedient son.” I stood at the center of the stage with Lucien and baby Tyr as we received everyone’s congratulations.Whether they were genuinely happy for me and my family or they were faking it, I was happy at the moment. It was the kind of joy that I haven’t experienced in a long time, and I was glad that I had organized this naming ceremony.I guess that from this day onwards, city N will welcome a new rite of a passage. Although it was there during our ancestors’ time, it has long since been forgotten and only a few followed the traditions. But it was worth noting that, this ceremony signified the child’s future and his abilities.It was only six o’clock that all the guests left. It had taken longer than I had expected and I was very tired. Standing for long in my high heels and sending all the guest off, I felt like all th
Chapter 110Camilla POV…“She said yes, she said yes.” The people shouted, clapping their hands as if they were the ones being proposed to.This time, even if I wanted to, I could not hold back my tears from falling. I let them fall freely as I hugged Lucien with all my mighty.I had already resigned my fate in his hands, never imagining that he will surprise me like this one day. I don’t know for how long he has been planning this, not even letting anything slip by. He even managed to bring everyone back just so they could experience our happiness.Even though I had already gotten used to viewing him as my husband, this proposal still touched me. He has single-handedly made sure that I never lacked anything in this relationship.With my teary face, I cupped his cheeks in my hands and kissed him on his lips deeply. I could not care less whether we were being watched or not, I just wanted him to know that he means everything to me and I am extremely touched.I kissed him, beat him on h
Chapter 111Lucien POV…‘Tyr was only over three months old; did he really know how to differentiate between this and that? Maybe he was just following his instincts.’ I thought, but I would never say that out loud.“My wife, you are overthinking. Maybe he just misses me because he hasn’t seen me since morning. You are his mother; how could he not like you?” I told her, looking at her with an amused expression.“It is not just today. Every single time he sees you, he would always reveal a happy and excited expression.” Camilla said.I did not know how to answer to that. But if I think about it, she was right. Ever since this little devil started recognizing people, he would be clingier to me than other people. He would only be with his mother when he was being fed, but most of the time, he liked sticking to me.I had not thought too much about it. I did not know that Camilla would be this sensitive.“don’t worry sweetheart, I will be sure to educate him. How dare he ignore his mother?
