Hue noticed the tremble in her voice and the quickened pace of her heartbeat. He surmised she was affright. Then, he smiled and patted her hands gently. "Honey, you have nothing to fear. Also, your eyes never played any trick on you. You're not wrong to doubt her."On the day of their arrival, he and Little Veen had sensed the dark air coming from Helena. But, there was also something else about her that was shocking, that he didn't notice before. However, he won't spill anything to his wife until he was certain of the finding. "Then, is she a Fallen?" Jennet asked, getting worried. Hue squeezed her hands. "We cannot say for sure but, Little Veen and I will keep an eye on her. As for you, just act normal as if you know nothing. Don't show your awkwardness around her. Plus, Little Veen is also playing his part in this investigation," he said softly. "Alright..." Jennet responded. She was relieved to hear the assurance from him. Then, the couple lay down on the bed as they were abo

Helena stood beside her fuming aunt and gave her back a light pat. Then, she said, "Well, Katerina is a pampered child and whatever she wants, she always gets it because she has the backing of her family. Since she is aiming for your son-in-law, her family might sever our familial ties only to get him for her. Now, we cannot allow that from happening. Just let her do what she wants because when she's bored, she'll stop."She squeezed Rosella's shoulder to ease the tension that her aunt felt. "Trust me, aunt. She will stop when he continues to pay her no attention during the stay."Rosella eyed Helena with a piercing glare. "Helena, I suggest you don't encourage her so much. She is not a little child anymore. She is an adult and she should have known what she can and can't do."Helena pushed Rosella gently to sit down on a couch. Then, she handed a cup of water to her. "I understand you're angry beyond words and I understand your struggle because of Katerina. But, I want you to stay c

"Jennet!" Rosella shouted at her daughter, finally losing her cool. "You are getting so full of yourself! You should watch over your manners! Honestly, you're still a disappointment!"Jennet, unwavered by mama's outburst, glared. Well, she was used to receiving unkind treatment from mama and even if she behaves like a delinquent now, it means nothing."Then, mama, you can leave too since you find me a disappointment. No matter what you say, my decision is final and she has to leave. I am doing this to defend my family from a forked tongue snake, a stupid siren and a cowardly sheep!""Shut up!" Rosella was enraged and raised her hand."Rosella!"Grandpa Ingell's voice thundered in the space, startling everyone present.Rosella immediately lowered her hand. "F-father..." she stammered.Grandpa Ingell and his grandsons had only returned from Hanvel's residence and they had witnessed the squabbles. The unsightly squabbles...Grandpa Ingell gazed towards Helena and Katerina before she glar

“Mfftt!” Hue struggled to speak. Little Veen snapped his fingers and the barrier on his mouth disappeared. “Probably because you’re already my wife from a very long time ago. The barrier around you exists to protect you when I am not around,” he said as a proud smile bloomed on his handsome face.Little Veen snapped his fingers again and Hue was forced to keep silent instantly. He took a deep breath and said to Jennet, “He is not making any sense at the moment. Ignore him. By the way, I hope you can keep calm and act oblivious about everything that we talked about.”“Alright, but should I be worried?” Jennet asked curiously.“No need to. You only need to worry about your pregnancy because they are much more important than the problem we have at hand. Also, we will always be looking after you, and protecting you.” Little Veen smiled.Jennet melted when she saw his innocent and genuine smile that she had never properly seen before. She imm

"Oh gosh, something's moving inside!" she clamoured in terror when she felt and saw little movements appearing on the surface of her skin. She had no idea if those were the twins' heads, hands or feet.As she focused on the little movements, she, somehow, felt happy while being scared. The feeling she had was indescribable.She laughed alone. Then, she turned her face towards her husband. "Honey," she said, "t-this is terrifying and, and I...I'm about to pass out..." she slurred in her words before her eyes rolled up and her face was drained out of colours.Hue shrieked in terror as he leapt forward and caught her heavy body from collapsing to the cold floor....A few hours later, Jennet woke up on the bed, fully dressed. Her body smelt nice too. While she passed out, her husband helped to wipe her body.She gazed down but her sight was blocked by the mountain of her belly that had gotten even bigger than earlier.
