Divorced with Octuplets Chapter 13
Edric looked down at me in his arms, and every trace of coldness vanished from his expression. All that remained was tenderness and concern.He reached up and gently brushed the dampness from the corner of my eye."Suvy, are you all right? Did he frighten you?"I leaned into his embrace, feeling the warmth of his arms around me. Seeing the way he had thrown himself in front of me without a second thought, and reading the softness in his eyes, the last shred of hesitation I had been holding on to dissolved into nothing.I looked up at him, and a small smile curved the corner of my mouth."I forgive you."It was only three small words, but Edric's eyes filled with tears. He pulled me close and held me so tightly that it was as though he were afraid I would slip away again, his voice breaking as he spoke."Suvy, thank you. Thank you for forgiving me. Thank you for giving me another chance."Edric held my hand as we walked along the path through our estate, a warm breeze carrying t

He was no longer the Lord Regent who had never lifted a finger for himself. He was simply a husband, and a father.He looked at the eight children in their bassinets with a tenderness so open it would have been unrecognizable to anyone who knew him at court. He held each of them as though they were made of glass, his movements so cautious and so careful that it was almost comical coming from a man of his stature.The children looked remarkably like him, with the same strong, sharp features, softened by a touch of my own gentleness. All eight of them were beautiful.Edric chose their names himself. He called the four boys Sullivan, Evan, Donovan, and Sylvan, and he named the four girls Savannah, Vivanne, Julianne, and Brianne.Every name carried a thread of mine woven into it, a syllable, a sound, a quiet echo of Suvanne hidden inside each one, as though he wanted his longing and his love for me written into the very names his children would carry for the rest of their lives.After

At last, on a crisp autumn morning when the scent of blossoms hung in the air, the pain in my belly became unbearable. The midwives and physicians sprang into action at once. Tension swept through the entire estate in an instant."Push, madam! Push harder, a head is nearly through...""Hold on, madam! The children are going to be fine..."The voices of the midwives, the physicians, and the servants all blurred together. I lay on the birthing bed, drenched in sweat, my hair plastered to my forehead, my vision going dark at the edges. The pain was beyond anything I had ever imagined.Delivering eight children, one after the other, was a hundred times more agonizing than any ordinary birth. It felt as though my body was being torn apart, and every push drained the last of my strength.I clenched my teeth and endured it, holding on to a single thought: my children would be born safely, no matter what it cost me.I lost track of time. Then the first cry rang out through the room, clea

Now that Edric had made his devotion so plain, Grandfather was more than happy to encourage the match.He would have liked nothing more than to see me reconcile with Edric, and it would not have hurt that the alliance would strengthen the Ashworth family's standing in the Southlands."Suvy, I've been watching this man, and I believe he's someone worth spending a life with," Grandfather said, patting my hand."He's willing to set aside everything he is as the Lord Regent and stay here in the Southlands for your sake, and that kind of dedication is worth more than anything else. You're carrying eight children, and when they arrive, you'll need a man standing beside you. Edric is the best one you could ask for."I listened to my parents and my grandfather, but none of it swayed me.I could see what Edric was doing. I was not blind to his tenderness or his devotion, and I would have been lying if I said it did not move me at all. However, that small stirring was not enough to erase th

"I'll admit it. After we got married, I fell in love with you, gradually, without meaning to. I was just too proud to say it. That night at the Spring Gala, I wasn't drunk. I did it on purpose because I wanted to be close to you, because I wanted us to be something more than what we were."I thought I had time. I thought you'd always be there, waiting for me to find the courage to open up to you. I never imagined you would leave so quickly or so completely."Suvy, give me a chance. Please." He looked at me, his eyes full of desperate hope."I'll make it up to you. I'll be good to you, and I'll be good to our children. I'll make you the happiest woman in the world. I'll set aside everything the Lord Regent is supposed to be, and I'll just be yours."Gentle with you and only you, devoted to you and only you."I looked at him, at the guilt and the pleading written across his face, and I felt not a trace of being moved.Had I ever felt something for him? Perhaps I had.My heart had

I was reclining on the covered veranda, one hand resting on my rounded belly, listening to a servant humming a Southlands folk tune and feeling thoroughly at ease.Then, a commotion erupted beyond the courtyard, and a moment later, a familiar figure stepped into view.The man wore a dark brocade coat, his posture as straight and commanding as ever. His features were still sharp and severe, but there was weariness, urgency, and something else in his eyes that I could not quite read.He stood in the rain, his gaze fixed on me with an intensity that bordered on desperate, as though he was afraid I would disappear if he looked away.It was Edric.I felt nothing, not even surprise. I simply looked at him the way I would look at a stranger.It was no shock that he had found me. A man with his power and resources would have tracked me down eventually. It had only been a matter of time.Edric walked toward me, his steps quickening, his brocade coat soaked through with rain and clinging
