695 Sweet Schemes and Secret ns

    Derrick had been obsessing over Ste just days ago, and now he’d suddenly married Marie.

    The shift was so fast and drastic, it was hard to wrap one’s head around it.

    “Alright,” Abraham said as he hung up on Abel.

    He headed back into the dining room. Ste had nearly finished eating.

    Seeing him return, she smiled sweetly. “I saved two for you.”

    Abraham’s heart softened.

    She’d always been like this since they were kids—no matter how tasty something was, she’d always save some for him. And for Marie too, no matter how tempted she was.

    He stepped forward and pinched her cheek. “If you like it, just eat.”

    “You eat them,” Ste replied.

    Ever since learning about the pregnancy, Abraham had stopped restricting how much she ate.

    And now that he knew she was carrying triplets, there was no question— her body needed all the nourishment it could get. He wouldn’t limit her at all.

    He pulled her into hisp and sat down with her. “Star, how about we move out?”

    “Huh?b” /b

    Ste stared at him, stunned.

    Abraham was beginning to feel that his mother was getting itoo /iinvolved- especially when it came to his intimacy with Star. Now that she knew about the triplets, she’d definitely want them to sleep in separate rooms.

    Just thinking about it gave him a headache.

    “Why are you suddenly bringing up moving out? I think living here is pretty nice,” Ste said.

    Unlike most young couples who couldn’t stand mother–inw drama, Ste had grown up with Evelyn. That kind of problem didn’t exist for her.

    She didn’t want to move out.

    “I want to,” Abraham said.

    He wanted a ce that belonged to just the two of them.

    Ste tugged pitifully at his shirt. “But I want to stay with Mom and Marie.”

    She’d already been feeling off these days, barely seeing her mom and

    sister.

    Back when she was stuck in Rivermount, all she could think about was how much she wanted to go back to the Dawson family.

    If she ever got the chance again, she’d never leave them.

    And if anyone dared threaten her again… she’d kill them.

    No one knew how hard those days in Rivermount had been–how suffocating that loneliness was.

    “We’lle back after the babies are born?” Abraham offered.

    “I don’t want to!”

    She puffed out her cheeks. No matter what, she wasn’t leaving–she wanted to live with her mom and sister.

    Abraham’s headache got worse.

    “When Mom gets back, we’ll be sleeping in separate rooms. You sure about this?b” /b

    Ste said, “Then just climb in through the window.”

    Abraham went silent.

    Climb through the window!?

    Things were perfect between them right now. There was no way he was going to give up sharing a room.

    So he kept trying to sweet–talk Ste into moving out. He needed the right environment for their little world.

    Meanwhile, over on Rowan Ind…

    Victor hadpletely abandoned training Tessa.

    Ss and Lewis stood inside one of the wooden cabins, watching from the window as Victor gently carried Tessa to a lounge chair on the beach.

    Lewis muttered, “Didn’t Abraham say not to go easy, not to spoil her?”

    So what was this? No more training?

    Ss nced at him, exasperated with his constant need for gossip.

    “He’s probably decided to protect her himself.”

    Back then, since they weren’t officially together and Ashen Pact was a total mess, Victor had wanted Tessa to be strong enough to protect herself— especially if she had to go back.

    Ashen Pact wasn’t just messy. It was dangerous.

    But things were different now.

    Tessa was Victor’s woman. As long as she knew a bit of self–defense and could run, that was enough.

    The rest, Victor would handle.

    Lewis scratched his chin. “He’s finally seeing the light. Looks like we’re going to end up as babysitters.”

    “Babysitters?”

    Ss’s face twitched. rm bells rang in his head.

    “Victor didn’t even give her any meds,” Lewis added.

    Ss went quiet.

    Babysitters? For an actual baby?

    “He’ll hire professionals,” Ss said.

    “Has he trusted anyone from the outside in all these years?” Lewis countered.

    For once, Lewis seemed surprisingly sharp.

    Ss was stunned.

    As much as he hated to admit it, Lewis was right–Victor didn’t trust outsiders.

    His own vi didn’t even have a single servant.

    “So now we need to learn how to take care of a baby?”

    Ss went quiet.

    “There’s still time. She might not even be pregnant yet,” Lewis added.

    “Then you can learn,” Ss grumbled.

    “Victor trusts you most. He’s always said I’m too dumb,” Lewis replied.

    Ss went quiet again.

    Two of the most feared assassins in all of Falvaria–both ranked–were now talking about baby care.

    Who would believe it?

    Out on the beach…

    Tessa had twisted her ankle. Badly. It was already swollen, and when Victor touched it gently-

    “Ah-! It hurts!” she screamed.

    Victor’s expression darkened. “It’s dislocated. I need to set it. Brace yourself.”
