Chapter 308 - Couple’s First Quarrel (1) (2/2)

”Thank you Snow.” I expressed my outmost gratitude with a smile.

”No worries.” Snow said. ”This should be your first quarrel as a married couple. Well, maybe the very first quarrel since you two have met, if I am not mistaken. So just go back to her now. It is not good for pregnant women to feel sad and cry.”

”Thanks once again.” I said and quickly strode back to where my wife was.

”Having my master feel terrible makes me feel terrible as well.” I heard Snow said. ”I helped you because her mood swings also affect me.”

I chuckled hearing Snow's words. She might spout cold words but her meaning behind it was warm and gentle. I know that she was also worried for Alicia. And because of her link with her, she might be the most worried out of all of us. She knows Alicia the best.

I quickly hurried back to where my wife was taking a rest. I saw her still seating on my cape and crying. Tears have stained her beautiful face and she was still sobbing hard. My heart felt pained seeing her in such pain, a pain I have inflicted on her.

Tricia was right beside her, trying to placate her sobs but to no avail. William was also trying to comfort her, but with no success.

I transitioned into a slow pace and carefully approached them.

”Tricia, William, can you two give us some time alone.” I said gently. ”I will take it from here.

Tricia and William both looked at me with a look of helplessness. They both tried to pacify my wife's cries but without any success.

”Yes, your majesty.” Tricia stood up and was the first one to leave. William followed not far from her.

When William passed by me and put his hand on my shoulder. He gave me a cold stare and I can feel his grip on my shoulder. ”I understand how you are feeling your majesty, but in such a time what she needs is you. She needs you the most so please, do not leave her alone again. Because if you dare… I will take her away from you.” He whispered with a clear threat.

I knew William's threat was not hollow. It carried much weight that I cannot simply ignore. He maybe just a knight in ranking now, but he could have been a strong and wise duke. If I did not appear at Alicia's birthday banquet that night, and did not steal her first dance, maybe she would have been the Duchess of Cunningham by now.

”I understand.” I simple replied to William. ”Be at ease, because I will never give you such an opportunity in the future.”

'I might have wavered just now, but this will never happened again.' I promised myself.

”Then go to her.” William smiled wholeheartedly and patted my shoulders. ”You are the only one that can pacify her.” He then left to give Alicia and I space.

I looked at my wife who was still sobbing with her face buried in her palms. I kneeled before her and gently stroke the top of her head.

”My wife, I am here.” I said to her with a gentle tone.

Alicia looked up and our eyes met. She was about to cry even more.

”Leon!” Alicia cried out my name and hugged me tightly. ”I am sorry. I am so sorry.”

Hearing her words melted the hurt and worries I had earlier. This woman in front of me was the one I chose, was the one I dear to me, was the one I loved the most.

I took her trembling body into my arms and embraced her.

”Hush now my love.” I said gently and caressed her back to comfort her. ”I am here. I will not leave you again, I promise.”
