“I can't believe we let them talk into following us!” Maggie whispered, nudging Janice slightly. She glared at Jeremy, who stood a few meters away, winking at her. “They offered us this spring ticket in return. I'd like to say, it's okay, they followed us.” Janice replied, stretching out her leg on a small coffee table. “Also, it's not like we have anything hidden we would be doing here. So, I guess it's alright, they are here.” She added with a slight shrug. “I don't think it's okay,” Maggie grumbled. “Other women would think we are dependent when they see them with us.” “Moreover,” She continued. “How would you feel if you see a nasty headline with a caption like this, the king and his brother can't let their wives out of their sight, so they tag along like mutts.” Janice hoisted a brow whilst staring at her. She hadn't thought of that, and she wondered if there would be any news with such headlines. Since she had been in Cherview, she had seen how respectful even the journali

The walk to where Maggie and Jeremy stood seemed longer to Janice. She panted and groaned as her legs ached. She couldn't remember the last time she had walked a distance as long as that. Even though she could see the couple from where she was, it was still a long walk for her due to the condition she was in. “Are you alright?” Jules stared at her as she halted. His brows creased whilst watching her caress her tummy in the pale pink mid-length gown she donned. “I'm fine. I think I feel the baby kick.” She muttered, with a grin. “Do you want to feel it too?” Jules' face lit up at the invitation. He didn't care if they were in a public or not. He hadn't felt the baby kicking before. He nodded and strode to her side, then placed his hand on her bump, but felt nothing. “I feel nothing. Perhaps, it stopped?” He let out a disappointed sigh. “Oh! Maybe. You can feel it next time.” Janice said. “I believe so.” He affirmed, extending his hand to her. She gripped the hand he extended t

The next day, Maggie darted into Janice's bathroom whilst discussing some of the weird cravings she often had. She was able to lift the toilet lid on time before the vomit flew out of her mouth. She groaned, then dipped her head into the clean toilet, retching more. Maggie wrinkled her nose and patted her tummy before attempting to stand to her feet. She glanced towards the opened door, expecting to see Janice but was stunned to see her maid instead. "My Lady!" Grace exclaimed, rushing to lift her. "Are you alright?" "Of course, I am," Maggie murmured. Her head reeled and her mouth tasted sour like she had been eating limes. Despite the heaviness in her head, she took a step forward as soon as Grace released her hand. But, it didn't stop the dizziness she was feeling. "I just need to…" "Oh!" Grace gripped her hand before she could swoon. "You need to rest, My Lady!" "Grace," The duo swirled and noticed Janice was in the doorway. "Prepare a warm tea for the duchess and me." J
Matched to the devil I'm pregnant
"You are lying Madame, I know that," Jules murmured. "It's obvious I'm talking about my baby. Who else is pregnant if not me?" Janice asked him as he was scrutinizing her. Jules shrugged but said nothing. "Well," Jeremy began. He walked towards the chair Maggie was in and sat on it. He tucked a strand of hair that had slipped out of the ponytail she held it in beneath her ear. Jules did the same, sitting beside Janice before clutching her hands. "I saw the doctor at the entrance and I was curious who was sick. But, mother is happy which is confusing." Jeremy grimaced. He recalled going to meet her to ask what the good news was. But, she had refused to tell him any. Not even Jules whom he thought was her favourite son. "Oh, gods," Maggie mumbled, shaking her head. "Did she say anything to you?" "She didn't. Was she supposed to say something?" Jeremy inquired, creasing his brows. "I-I…" Maggie stammered. "She wasn't," Janice said hastily as she noticed Maggie was about to tell

"I can't believe Jeremy is happy he'll be a dad," Maggie murmured. "I told you, you need not worry," Janice said. "Even though I'm happy, I think it will be a disaster." "It won't," Janice said firmly. "The baby is going to have lovely parents. I don't know why you think you would behave like your parents." Maggie shrugged. "It isn't my fault I think about their failed parenting all the time. They never made me feel loved. So, it is natural for me to think I will end up that way since I have their blood running through my veins." "You won't." Janice asserted, gripping her clenched hands. "We are here to assist you." With a sigh, Maggie nodded. "As I said, I am happy I am going to be a mother. But I'm somewhat scared. I know with Jeremy by my side, it will be a little easier." "Don't forget you have Jules and me." Janice squeezed her hand. "Of course, I have you. Maggie affirmed, then grimaced. "I don't know about your husband. He acts scary, and I don't think he would like to b

Grace entered a while later after Jules left. She placed a huge tray filled with food on a small table at the side of the nightstand and hoisted it on the bed near the two women. She straightened whilst waiting for an order from them. "That is all, Grace," Janice said with a smile. She nodded with a smile as well and left the room. "This is a feast!" Maggie exclaimed, eyeing the tray. "Can you finish this?" "Of course," Janice said. "I have a human living inside me. Practically, I am eating for two. But I can share if you want." She grinned whilst eyeing the incredulous look on Maggie's face. "I don't think I can eat all this when I get to your stage." She swept her eyes over the food before glancing at Janice. "If Jeremy is anything like Jules, I know you would eat far more than this," Janice replied. "Jules always wants to stuff me with any chance he gets." "I hope Jeremy won't be that way because I will kill him." Janice giggled at the threat that poured out of her mouth.

"Welcome home, Madame." Jules greeted. Janice lurched and let out a loud screech as he appeared in front of her. She had wanted to sneak in and had forgotten to watch where she was going after looking from her back to the left and right. "Goodness, sire! You gave me the fright." She scowled, clutching her still-racing heart."You will give me a heart attack one day if you keep appearing in front of me unannounced," Janice grumbled, striding into the room. "I believe you enjoyed your day out today?" Jules asked, ignoring what she said."I did." She affirmed. She lifted her hair from her neck and attempted to pull down her zip. Janice groaned whilst stretching her hand to her back more. "Let me." Jules offered as he saw her struggling with it. He rose from where he sat and walked towards the mirror. That instant he stood at her back, Janice noticed he wore nothing except a small towel wrapped around his waist. Her eyes met his in the mirror as his hand caressed her back whilst sli

Janice yelped as she came awake.She was woken by someone prodding her side and nudging her face with a wet cloth. Her eyelashes flutter whilst trying to adjust to the bright light in the room. She wondered why it was this bright in the morning and why the blurry figure of Jules was hovering above her head. She furrowed her brows as her eyes got accustomed to the room lighting. And then she noticed it wasn't Jules alone that was watching her. The other wasn't a human but a four-legged being. Janice shrieked and almost leapt out of bed as it came down on her. "Jules!" "I thought you would like it." He shrugged, picking up the cutest brown-eyed puppy she had ever seen. It looked like a golden retriever, or maybe she was wrong because she couldn't tell the breed of most dogs, and she tended to mix them up all the time. The puppy whined and struggled to get out of his grasp. "Should I take it back?" He asked, caressing the white and brown fur. The puppy stopped struggling, and it
