Chapter 370: Triple Pregnancy (1/2)

After completing his Educational Reforms, Berengar left his study, where he instantly ran into Linde and Honoria, who both were standing outside of his door. It would appear they were having difficulties finding the courage to speak as the two women would not meet his gaze. Curious as to the issue, Berengar decided to lighten the mood by making a joke.

”Let me guess; you're both pregnant?”

Hearing Berengar so blatantly says what they were struggling to speak about shocked both Linde and Honoria, who rushed up to Berengar and grabbed ahold of him seeking answers for how he could be aware of such a thing.

”How did you know!?!”

Berengar, who was genuinely shocked to see that his jest was accurate, immediately inquired for clarification on the issue; he honestly could not believe that Adela, Linde, and Honoria would find out they were pregnant on the same day. As such, he scoffed at the girl's claims before speaking the thoughts on his mind.

”You can't be serious...”

The two young women looked at each other before silently nodding their heads at Berengar; the sparkle in their eyes hinted that they were intensely judging his reaction. Upon seeing that they were serious, Berengar's expression sank; though he was aware of just how much fun he had been having with his three women, he honestly did not expect a scenario where the trio was pregnant at the same time.

Judging by his timing, Adela was probably a few weeks further along than the other girls and had either just found out about it or was struggling to broach the subject with him until today. Berengar found it hard to believe that he had been shooting blanks for a few weeks before the first night he spent with all three of them.

Nevertheless, the reality was that all three of his women were currently pregnant, which meant that his life was about to become a lot more interesting; by interesting, he meant miserable. He could only imagine the difficulties he would face by living with three pregnant women, all siring his offspring.

Though Berengar could feel a headache looming over him, he did not let his grim outlook appear on his face; instead, he expressed great excitement to the girls who would soon be mothers. As such, he grabbed ahold of both of them and dragged them into his embrace, where he kissed them one at a time with an elated expression on his face. He spoke confidently as he was secretly lamenting the next nine months of his life.

”That's wonderful!”

Though Honoria bought his facade, Linde was far more shrewd and instantly picked up some of the small cues he left behind when he was acting; as such, she quickly withdrew from his kiss and questioned her lover in a severe tone.

”Are you not excited? This will be our third child; for some reason, you seem less sincere than when I informed you I was pregnant with Hans and Helga!”

It was only now that Honoria began to realize that Berengar had been faking his excitement, and as such, she immediately began to pout. Berengar had been found out, and as such, he carefully navigated around the minefield that was the girls' emotions.

”I'm excited; truly I am; I'm glad we will be able to increase the size of our family; it is just that I am worried, is all.”

When Berengar said, this Linde and Honoria looked at each other with confusion before asking for clarification on what he had just said.

”Worried about what?”

When Berengar heard the two girls once more speak in unison, his excited facade crumbled, and a dejected expression filled his handsome face.

”I'll level with you; Adela has also informed me that she is pregnant, and so I am worried that something might happen to you girls, and I will be left alone in this world looking after our kids by myself.”

Truthfully, Berengar was confident that nothing bad would happen to his wives or the children they bore. Instead, he was more concerned about the living hell his life was about to become; regardless, he could not very well admit that, or the girls would slap him.
