Chapter 581 - Back To Singapore (1/2)

The next day Alaric wasted no time having the biggest hospital in Yorkshire check Aleksis' pregnancy.

Although Nicolae himself was a doctor, he was reluctant to offer to do this to his brother's wife. Who knew how many years it would take him to be able to act casually in front of Aleksis again.

After returning from the hospital, Alaric announced proudly to the whole house that he would become a father again. Aleksis was six weeks pregnant and they happily began to prepare for this.

Lauriel and Nicolae celebrated the good news by drinking champagne, while Alaric and Aleksis only drank juice. However, none of them minded, as this pregnancy was what they really wanted.

”Every time my mother becomes pregnant, my father would stop drinking alcohol for nine months,” said Aleksis while reading the hospital's report. ”Do you think you can do that?”

Alaric shrugged. ”That's how it should be, right?”

”Alright ... sounds like you're ready,” Aleksis replied with a smile.

Alaric looked at Aleksis for a long time. A smile then appeared on his face. At first, it was just a small curve, but then, that curve increasingly grew wider, greatly puzzling Aleksis.

”What's wrong? Is there something on my face?” She asked.

Alaric shook his head. He looked very happy. ”Not at all. I just remember ... it's already six weeks, meaning ... this pregnancy is the result of my hard work last month in Grosseto when we just reunited. I am correct. We succeeded on the first try.”

Aleksis rolled her eyes. Seeing that Alaric was really proud of his unusual ability, the woman then laughed. ”How do you know? We've been doing 'that' every day ...”

Her face then reddened. She was a m.a.t.u.r.e and married woman, but every time she talked about their s.e.x.u.a.l intimacy, she still could not help but blush. When the realization dawned to her, she instinctively hit her husband on the shoulder before laughing shyly.

”Uhmm ... how many children do you want to have?” Aleksis asked him. She knew Alaric was eager to expand their family as he had been feeling very lonely for a long time. Especially now that he was forced to 'share' his children with his twin brother. It must have been quite painful that instead of him, it was Nilocae who had become a father figure to Altair and Vega. Even when they reunited, he could not force the two children to follow him and leave Nicolae.

”Hmm ... if it will be up to me, I would, of course, want for us to have many children. But I don't want to be selfish. So, let's just have as many children as you want. Each time we make love, if we really want to have more children, it will definitely happen. If only one of us wanted it, then there wouldn't be another kid. How about that?” Alaric asked her back.

”I think that will be for the best,” Aleksis replied with a happy smile.

The two then shared an intimate kiss. In the corner, Lauriel and Nicolae were forced to turn away from the scene and looked into the distance outside the window as they talked about the yellow and orange leaves that were making the trees in autumn look very beautiful.
