Chapter 80As soon as Jaromir left, I immediately tended to Alucard and apologized for Jaromir's rudeness while I was serving him some peach blossom tea. However, serving him made Alucard panic."No, allow me to be the one serving you, dollface." I was on the verge of protesting, but he took the teapot from my hands, eliciting a frown from me. Yet, Alucard simply winked and proceeded to pour tea into his cup before doing the same for mine. "And I understand Jaromir's intentions, Faustina. If I had a sister, I'd likely issue a similar warning to her mate. And besides..." he paused, locking eyes with me. "I have no desire to hurt you again." Cupping my face, he released a sigh. "But do bear in mind, Faustina, everything I've done in the past has been for your sake. Hmm?"I could tell that he wanted to explain what happened back then, but he was holding back because he knew that I never wanted to talk about it again. I just forced a smile and directed my attention to the snacks, catching

Chapter 82Alucard left me first and went to the bathroom while he was leaving me tied up in the Saltire cross. Confused, I wanted to ask him, but he was not here. I have left here alone; adoring this love nest, he created for us.My libido was still at its peak level, and curiosity was growing as to why he was taking so long. I opened my mouth to call my pudding, but I remembered that I needed to be patient so he could reward me, or else, he would punish me, even though I wanted that the most. My eyes darted at my wrists, which were being tied up, seeing a strong rope wrapping them. I could still remember in the past that Alucard used to tie me up using the rope or, sometimes, some handkerchiefs if he wanted to. He wanted me to feel helpless, and feeling helpless aroused me more. And I didn't know why I only felt this to him."Good, you are behaving well."I turned to the mirror wall where Alucard's lean figure pressed against the doorframe. He had this smirk playing on his lips w

Chapter 84A few days before Alucard's departure, we had already settled on the setup after I handed him out the jewelry he needed for his diplomatic mission. I let Alucard rummage through the guest list while I was busy handling some clients in the jewelry shop. "Tell our artisans they need to settle the polishing date for Countess Urson's jewelry, Expert," I ordered my assistant as we went to my study room. "Then..." I paused when I opened the door and saw Alucard holding a parchment and reading it before I turned to Expert. "That's all. And bring some refreshments for us."He bowed his head. "Your wish is my command, Your Serene Grace."Nodding, I watched him leave before turning my attention to Alucard, who was creasing his forehead. "Since when did you arrive, pudding?" I asked and approached him to give him a peck on his lips. "What are you reading..." I couldn't help but pause when I looked at the parchment he was looking at. My stomach flipped as I gulped when I realized he w

Chapter 86I felt disheartened when Alucard left. As much as I didn't feel like entertaining Simone right now, I had to since my pups were already with him. It was good that they were there, so I still had ample time to recollect myself while thinking about how to coax Alucard. "Yay! I have more books!" Liutrich exclaimed, his eyes glistening excitedly as he looked up at me. "Mommy, I will start reading them today!"Smiling, I caressed his hair as I nodded. "Summon our butlers to help you display your new books." Then, I turned to Luciana and Lumiere, who were busy with the presents they received from Simone. "You are spoiling them again, Simone..." I heaved out a sigh when he chuckled."I don't see them often, Faustina," he said, looking brightly at how they liked their presents. "Thank you, though, for inviting me to their birthday party. My apologies if my arrival is all of a sudden. I also have a business to attend here in the Sowinski Kingdom.""I see. I understand." Smiling, I

Chapter 88"How about our children, dollface? Did they know that we are going to eat together?"Alucard asked me questions when I prepared our food here in the Luna Queen's garden. Alucard brought me here when I told him I wanted us to picnic. However, our children were left in the mansion.He watched my movements even though some of him wanted to help me, but I insisted that I serve him just as he served me. "Indeed, yes," I replied and glanced at him. "And I want to be with you alone. We haven't been spending much time with each other these days. So... I missed you, pudding." Those words that came out of my mouth made me want to be buried six feet below the ground from embarrassment. I wanted to be vocal with my feelings as much as possible to reassure Alucard, since we needed to communicate to avoid misunderstanding. My wolf agreed with my resolve. And both of us had been longing for our pudding since he was busy for his departure, and we had this misunderstanding these past few
