Seeing how fastered Xander was, Alexandra shot him an exasperated look and said, “What’s all the fuss? You’re acting like the sky’s falling just because she’s pregnant.”

I remember when his father found out I was pregnant, he was surprised, sure, but he wasn’t nearly as over–the–top as Xander is right now. He is dealing with pregnancy nausea and frozen in shock Alexandra thought

Athena, careful not to startle Xander, said softly yet clearly. “Honey, I’m pregnant.”

Nander flashed to Athena’s side in an instant, and Alexandra felt only a sudden gust of wind rush past her.

When her eyes focused and she realized it was none other than her hopeless son. Alexandra couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

“Really? You’re pregnant? Xander gaped at Athena’s belly, his hand hovering, torn between reaching out and holding back.

Athena nodded, her eyes shining with happiness. “Honey, you’re going to be a father”

This feeling was truly magical. Xander cried out, tears streaming down his face, Tm going to be a father! I’m going to be a father!”

Alexandra smacked Xander’s arm in exasperation. “Can’t you get a grip? You’ll frighten your

again. She’s in a delicate condition now.”

Before she could even finish. Xander pulled Alexandra into a tight embrace and cried out excitedly like a child, “Mother, you’re going to be a grandma! You’re going to be a grandma”

Alexandra also froze in shock. Ever since Xander was old enough to understand things, his words and actions had always been meticulously proper precociously mature for his age.

His perpetually serious disposition left Alexandra with a mix of pride and wistfulness.

How she wished she could be like other mothers, gently soothing her son with soft words.

Yet Xander never gave her that chance.

He would even primly lecture Alexandra, telling her. “Mother, as an Imperial Consort, you must always mind your deportment.”

er time, Alexandra also abandoned all hope of a warm, loving mother–son scene.

Over

She and Xander were less like mother and son, but more like boss and subordinate.

But in that moment, that embrace made Alexandra feel as if her son had finally returned to her.

hit the high–and–mighty Prince Xander, nor the fearsome Xander that everyone trembled before, but her Xander, her dear son

Alexandra stood from for a long time, hardly able to believe the scene unfolding before her

After what felt like an eternity, Alexandra finally found her voice. She murmured, “L. I’m going to be a grandma!”

Alexandra seemed composed, but only she knew how wildly her heart was racing.

Ever since marrying Athena, Xander seemed to have grown happier by the day, Alexandra thought.

No sooner had Xander released Alexandra than he swept Athena into his embrace,

Outwardly, she scoffed, but inside, she was absolutely over the moon, thinking. My son just hugged mel

Athena was also overjoyed and threw her arms around Xander in a tight embrace. “Honey,” she murmured affectionately, “this must be tough for you?

“It’s not tough, not at all… Xander blurted out, then paused. Wait, that doesn’t make sense. She’s the one who’s pregnant, not me. Why would it be tough for me!

Just as Xander was about to speak, a sudden wave of nausea washed over him.

The overwhelming nausea was impossible to hold back. Xander bolted outside, desperately clutching a tree as he vomited violently.

He felt like he was about to vomit up his bike.

The maids bustled around, one parting his back, another bringing him water to rinse his mouth

After much bustling, Xander finally settled down.

He lay listlessly on the bed, trying to muster a weak smile. Athena gently wiped his face with a handkerchief and said, “Alexandra said my morning sickness has transferred to you. Are you feeling any better now?”

Hearing this, Xander nodded, immensely relieved. Thank goodness I’m the one throwing up. If you had to suffer through this, I’d be heartbroken.”

Alexandra blushed and thought. These newlyweds have no sense of privacy. I’m still right here!‘

But today was a joyous occasion, so she didn’t say anything to stop them.

Alexandra had the kitchen staff prepare some light and appetizing dishes and told them to bring them over.

Xander weally waved off the food, saying he had no appetite.

With a helpless sigh, Alexandra had the servants clear away the dishes

She turned to Athena and said, “Just leave him be. Let’s go and eat fint. You mustn’t go hungry in your condition”

“But Xander.” Athena couldn’t bear to see Xander looking so frail,

Alexandra waved it off. “Xander’s strong as an ox. Skipping a couple of meals won’t bother him. But you, Athena, in your condition, mustn’t go hungry.”

With that, Alexandra ushered Athena away without another word.

The meal was generous, with both meat and vegetable dishes.

Athena’s appetite had grown noticeably, and she relished every bite, Seeing that, Alexandra was beaming with joy.

She was so overjoyed that she wanted to shout the joyous news from the rooftops and let the whole world know.

In the blink of an eye, Evander’s wedding day had arrived.

Meanwhile, Fermin was also holding his wedding, welcoming two secondary consorts into his household

Natasha was up at the crack of dawn, resigned to her fate as the maidservants prepared het.

“Miss Beren, you look stunning all dressed up, said the maid,

But then, she quickly clapped a hand over her mouth and said, “Oh, my mistake. I should call you Mrs. Cavendish instead. It’s your wedding day. but why do you look so unhappy?

Natasha looked as if she were at a funeral. “What’s there to be happy about? Marrying someone is all the same anyway”

The maid, alarmed by Natasha’s ill–omened words, hastily urged, “Mrs. Cavendish, it’s a happy occasion. Let’s not say anything unlucky”

Natasha rolled her eyes in silent exasperation. Once the maidservants had finished preparing her, they gently assisted her to sit on the bed.

Soon after, the sound of fireworks echoed outside.

Natasha rose to leave, but the wedding matron quickly blocked her way. “Your Highness, where are you going?”

Natasha retorted, “To get married, of course! With all of you surrounding me like an iron barrel, where exactly do you expect me to run?”
