“I just…didn’t know how to bring it up. I feel so bad…so guilty…” I confessed honestly. “There’s nothing for you to feel bad about. You’re over thinking things, Natalia. I’ve very happy living here with you. I’ll be happy wherever as long as we’re together,” Reiner said comfortingly. “But things are so hard on you. You have to work so much harder…” I whimpered in between my sobs.“That’s true but I’m willing to work a little harder so we don’t have to live apart. I know you’re working hard too and you’re trying your best,” Reiner said calmly as his large hand continued stroking my back.“I’m sorry…” I apologized again because I didn’t know what else to say.Even if he told me that he was happy and fine with being here, I still felt responsible for the additional hardship that I put him through. “We’ll make it through this as well as everything else. So, please stop crying, Natalia,” Reiner whispered lovingly before he placed a soft kiss on my forehead. Now that we were talking abo

A week later, Reiner and I decided to go back home for a short visit with our main objective to discuss our plan with King. To my utmost surprise our meeting with King went by very smoothly. It gave me a feeling that King was satisfied with whatever outcome and his mind wasn’t on this issue at all. I thought back then that it must have been because the orphanage wasn’t truly part of the money-making part of the company’s business.Regardless of the cause, I was thrilled that King agreed to our proposal. He told us that he was happy that someone from the family wanted to take care of it. “I wish you good luck because this isn’t an easy job. Plus, I agree on quickly trying to find a way for you to manage things remotely. I can’t have Knight absent from this island for much longer than this,” King told us passionlessly. A few days later, I found out that King’s reaction to our proposal wasn’t the only shocking thing that was waiting for us back home. …**A few days later**After enjoy

Around a weak later when King and Queen returned, they were back to nagging the two of us about the same thing. Right after our 2-year wedding anniversary, King and Queen began seriously pressuring Reiner and me to have children. With Reiner preparing to take over the business from King and me figuring out the whole orphanage business, having children was the furthest thing from our minds. Now that things have settled down somewhat, my in-laws were back to applying pressure on us. King had always been outspoken in pushing for us to have children so that there would be at least an heir to inherit this business empire while Queen was a little more understanding. Now that Reiner had taken over the business and my orphanage work had settled down, it seemed like we had run out of excuses not to produce an heir. Dinner with my in-laws quickly became something that I dreaded because I knew what they would talk to us about. It doesn’t matter how good their moods were or what topic the conve

Figuring that there was no point in wondering about it, I quickly followed after her. Kat led me out to the small garden in front of the orphanage building before she urged for me to take a seat on the bench. “What’s up with getting me all alone?” I asked teasingly. Kat sat down next to me on the bench before she seemed to hesitate a little while she gathered her thoughts. Her hands were fidgeting with each other, and I could tell that she was nervous. I decided to wait for her in silence for her to be ready to tell me whatever it was that she wanted or needed to.“The thing is…” Kat began before trailing off.My eyes widened at her as my curiosity started taking over me. What does she want to tell me?“Is something the matter? You can tell me anything, you know. I’ll help you for sure,” I told her reassuringly.“Nothing is wrong. The thing is…Nick and I have decided to get married,” Kat finally confessed with a giddy look on her face. …what?I stared at her face before my hands fl

“Are you even ovulating these coming days?” Reiner asked, surprisingly seriously. Now that he mentioned it…“Umm…” I murmured. “I take it that you don’t even know that…” Reiner said before heaving a sigh. “We can keep trying until the baby arrives, right? This is just our first trip…” I replied with a smile. “So, there’s supposed to be more…” Reiner muttered softly but I caught every word that he said.“We both worked so hard and we’re freer these days. Going on more trips should be great, right? Maybe we won’t get to travel together as much when we have a baby…” I said in a sweet voice before I continued smiling at him. I looked forward to our trip so much that I spent some time each night packing our bags. Reiner watched me with an amused look on his face almost every evening as I packed and then repacked our bags over and over again. …The start of our trip finally arrived, and I woke up bright and early in excitement. It seemed like no matter how early I woke up; I couldn’t
