Chapter 60 (2/2)

“I’m pregnant.”Read the next chapter on our novelhall.com

Goltai’s face was frozen. He didn’t return to himself until a long time later. “You’re pregnant?”

“Yes.” Freya touched her abdomen. It was still flat, but she sensed a little heart beating powerfully there.

She suddenly gagged as she talked.

Goltai was convinced that Freya was pregnant, but he didn’t know whether he should be happy or stunned. He had a wife and children in Coral City, and his children were already married. His grandchildren had been born last year. He only looked for a relationship to overcome his loneliness here.

He never saw this day coming.

“Oh heavens, Freya, I-I mean, my head is a mess. Sorry, I don’t know how to react to the news,” Goltai stammered.

Freya simply smiled. “It’s all right, my lord. I know that a serf like me does not have a bright future. I thank you for giving me a pleasant memory. I will raise the baby independently. The baby will grow up healthily. I just hope that you can give him freedom before you leave.”

“Freedom?”

Goltai hesitated, and Freya simply looked at him with a smile.

A moment later, he took a deep breath and made the decision. “I’m sorry that I’m a disappointment, Freya…”

Freya’s smile quickly dimmed.

However, what Goltai said next put an even more brilliant smile on her face.

“I shouldn’t have hesitated just now. I guarantee that I won’t leave Flower Town, at least not until the baby knows that Goltai Mast is his or her father… I think I know why I can’t get used to Flower Town.”

Goltai embraced Freya, with warmth but not lust. “It’s because I’m a noble who’s used to enjoyment instead of striving. I complain that Liszt doesn’t appoint me as his consultant, but I do not work hard enough to earn it. From now on, I have to work hard for our child!”

“Really, my lord?” Freya’s eyes widened.

“Of course, I swear in the name of a knight!”

After some brief cuddling, Goltai put on his Frak Abie and walked out, this time really to Oysterton to inspect the construction of houses.

…

At night, dinner was held in the castle again.

Before it started, Marcus, Blair, and Isaiah chit-chatted casually while Goltai reported to Liszt about work in the study.

“The main road from Thorn Hill to the town is half complete. Sand is copious, but stones are not enough. I’m selecting strong serfs to build a logging team. In the meantime, they will shatter the rocks on Thorn Hill and use them to build the road. If there is more, the sand roads among the villages will be mixed with stones, too.”

“That’s a great plan. Let’s do it, Mr. Goltai.” Liszt nodded in satisfaction.

He was not only satisfied with the plan but also with Goltai’s attitude. In previous dinners, Goltai mostly used his mouth to eat and make jokes, and he never talked about work.

He was surprised that the man reported work on his own initiative today.

As a lord, he naturally preferred subordinates who worked hard over those who were only interested in his food.
