Chapter 321 - 318: While She Was Sleeping VIII (1/2)

Serena was very nervous and afraid. Their society has never been kind to women. If people were to find out that she's pregnant out of wedlock, and even worse, that the baby was not her fiance's then…

She shook her head. Despite her being afraid, she was also happy inside.

She smiled as she rubbed her stomach. If she was indeed pregnant, then the baby inside her was the embodiment of her and Charlton's love. How could she not be happy about it? Even without confirming if it was really there, she already loved and cherished it.

Anyway, should she cancel on attending the ball tomorrow evening? Just to be sure. But then, she missed Charlton so much. She hasn't seen his face for almost a month now. She needs to see him so that she could stare at his face to ensure their baby would look like him.

Gods, what does she tell him? Should she tell him? Never mind. She knew she must wait She hasn't even missed her period yet!

She doesn't even know if she wants her period to arrive or not anymore. The thought of a child with Charlton making her feel very exhilaratingly happy.

Should she start knitting baby clothes? She recalled Charlton saying that his mother was excited for a grandchild and doesn't even want to prolong the engagement. Was that an angel's tongue? She wanted to laugh.

Earlier, she just felt like the world's closing in on her, now she was again very happy. Her emotions fluctuating like crazy. Maybe it was really her hormones.

Thank goodness, her mother's not around. That makes her think that she should be careful with her clothes later just in case, lest people notice that she's missing her period.

It was Thursday, the night before the Ligeti's ball, and the last night that Geoffrey was visiting Serena past midnight. Sadly, Leonard was due to arrive back on Saturday morning.

Anyway, before leaving to see Serena, one of his men came to report.

”Your highness, we have found a witness with information saying that he was sure that the grand duke of Suffox have signed one document proving that he attended one meeting with the radical faction. However, it was a document from 29 years ago and he doesn't know if it still exists.”

Geoffrey who spent time in studying all the tasks handed out to all the vice ministers and ministers through the years was able to recall that 29 years ago, grand duke Charles, who was still a Marquess and the vice minister of defense, was delegated to eradicate the people part of the radical faction. It was the only task he failed as he reported that he could not identify who they were.

If there was a witness and sufficient evidence that he attended said meeting, then…

Geoffrey suddenly had a devious glint in his eyes. ”It doesn't matter if it exists not. If you cannot find said document, then produce one.”

”Yes, your highness.”

Finally, things were going his way.
