CHAPTER 487: CHAPTER 487 - CATCHING UP WITH MY PEOPLE (PART 1)

The next morning, I waited for Lark to wake up before leaving our bed. I also made sure to answer the question he left me before he passed out on me last night.

With an amused smile, I said to him, "Good morning, my handsome husband. To answer you question, would saying, within the first half of the year suffice?"

Lark’s eyes widened and he smiled in a silly manner. He quickly inched his way to me and hugged me tight while saying "yes" and "thank you" repeatedly.

After the cheesy conversation, we freshened up and went down to eat breakfast with everybody. The rest of the day was spent with having one-on-one meetings with Izuku, Feivel, Uncle Daejung and the managers of the different establishments. I made sure to answer their questions and address any issues that they may have.

By late afternoon, I advised Kayden and Lark that I will be staying outside for the next few days to visit the others. They both looked at me for a few seconds then with a helpless smile nodded at what i said. I smiled back at them and promised I will be back to spend time with them again before I return to the academe.

After letting them know of my plans, I left Hoffen City to go to the Vacarro Estate in Arista. I used teleportation this time since I want to get there as soon as possible.

I chose to appear at a secluded area in the town instead. Looking around the town that has greatly changed from the first time I met that enslaved blood demon prince before.

I did not stay too long in the town and just started walking back to the Vacarro Estate. Upon reaching the tall walls and secure gate of the main estate, I teleported to the top of the wall. I stayed there for a bit, just observing the vast and colorful fields made of different planted fruits, vegetables and grains.

From where I was standing, I can see Dimitri seated on one of the cushioned seats on the porch of the main house. He was staring blankly towards the fields that I was also staring at earlier. He was gently rubbing his belly which makes him smile once in a while.

I don’t know how long I was staring at Dimitri before I realized that I should be meeting with my husband now. I teleported below the wall and started walking towards where he was. It took him a while to notice that someone was walking towards him.

When he looked up, I clearly saw his face change from disbelief, to surprise, to relief then finally happiness. He abruptly stood up and started walking quickly towards me. After a few steps, he started running which gave me a fright.

I shouted for him not to run and that I will be the one coming for him and fortunately, he stopped moving before any accidents could happen. I hurriedly approached him and hugged him tight. Dimitri hugged me back as well but I made sure to murmur in his ear, "You should be careful. Have you forgotten you’re pregnant?"

Dimitri did not answer and simply nuzzled his face on the crook of my neck. I just gently tapped his back to calm him down as I can still feel his quick heartbeats from running earlier.

We slowly walked towards the mansion and once we entered, I was welcomed by my grandparents-in-law warmly. They prepared a really delectable dinner for the four of us. As we were eating dinner, Dimitri started sobbing as he said that he thought I forgot about him and won’t visit him anymore.

I smiled awkwardly at my grandparents-in-law and then looked at Dimitri with understanding eyes. I then soothed him by saying, "I just arrived in Hoffen City a couple of days ago and I have some things I need to do there. I immediately went here after that."

He looked at me blankly and then he nodded in understanding. He apologized for being too petty and blamed his dramatic ways to being pregnant. I chuckled and said that it was fine.

I spent the night with my husband that immediately became frisky after getting inside the room. He excitedly pulled me inside the shower and even helped me remove my clothes. I watched all his actions, clearly amused as to how cute he was being right now.

Before Dimitri got pregnant, he has been the reserved type. I can also constantly feel how insecure he was in his position in the family since he always thought that he was the only one I did not choose out of my own accord. I

Our relationship was indeed unusual as it started with a partnership proposal, an arranged marriage for monetary benefits which was his idea too. He has changed a lot since then after I formally married him under the Athanoviyan way and introduced him to my parents which honestly made me really glad for him.

After the quick shower, he pulled me towards the bed excitedly. It was quick because he did not let me touch him inside the bathroom and we simply focused in bathing. He said that it is unsafe for him to do it in here since it was slippery under the showers. I chuckled as I replied, "Yeah, right. You just don’t want to do it under bright lights."

He looked at me with widened eyes, obviously cauht off guard with my comment. He then eventually glared at me and grumpily responded, "My abs have turned into a bump because of you. What are you complaining about?!"

I laughed out loud and started kissing his lips greedily eveb before we exited the bathroom. At first he was trying to push me away but his seductive moans gave him away. He eventually kissed back as his hands started to grope all around my body.

We made out for several minutes before I forcefully paused our kisses. Dimitri looked at me with his dazed and confused eyes as to why the pleasurable things stopped. I smiled and teased him, "We worked quite hard for that bump. Why would I complain about it? I liked you even more when your abs turned to a bump, you know?"

I spent the rest of the night proving to Dimitri that I liked him even without his abs through actions. I think I have successfully changed his views by the third round, though I did not stop by then though. I stopped when he passed out. (*winks*)
