"I don't want to." Drake glares at Elian.
Elian eyes widen and stare at Drake. "I see. Then I will go."
Drake grabs his hand. "What did I do?" He asks.
Elian didn't look at him.
"What's wrong with me? Do you want me to ask her to abort the baby?"
Elian glares at him. "Am I that kind of person?"
"Then what?" Drake grits his teeth. He is so confused. He clearly said he is not cheating. The baby is already in the mother's stomach. What would he do then?
"Don't you know how this will affect me? Our baby? The family that we want too build? I feel like you have no idea at all."
Drake grabs his hand. "Don't get mad. Just talk."
Elian slowly tears up. "You will have another family somewhere. A baby who wants to be with you. What about my baby? Sharing? Should I live sharing attention? I don't deserve such half love!"
"........." Drake frowns. "What are you talking about? I will take the baby and let you raise my children. You will be my wife. It's just normal."
"Normal? Is it?"
"I am raise by my eldest brother's mother." Drake said. "And I grow up just fine. What's wrong with me?" He asks.
Elian gapes. Then he closed his mouth
Drake wipes his tears. "You don't need to share me?"
"What if she doesn't want to? What if she refused to give the baby? If it was me, I will never give my baby up."
"My brother will help me." Drake said
"!!!!" Elian looks horrified. He hugs himself. "Do you even see us as human? You think we can part with the baby so easily? Use the power and law against us?"
Drake grabs his own head. "Then what do you want?! I will not take the baby with me then. I will let her raise the baby. But Im telling you. This set up is dangerous. Teaching the child to grow up speculating, jealous and insecure."
Elian glares at him. "At least you still have some common sense."
"Haha. Why are you so mad? I am from royal family. This things are not uncommon. If I didn't fool around, would I even meet you? And have a baby with you?"
"......You are so good." Elian angrily said.
"Elian,"
"What if she wants to marry you? Im sure she does." Elian glares at him.
Drake grins "You can only marry once. Why are you so afraid? I will only marry you. Do you think Im so lawless that I will be so bold as to cheat my wife?"
"........why marry me?" Elian asks confused. He doesn't think about it before because he is pregnant so he automatically accept that Drake wants to marry him. But now the Duke has another woman who is pregnant with his child. He has a choice now. Though it pisses him off that he is a 'choice'.
Drake grins. "I just like you. Sweet and a liar."
"!!!!" Elian frowns as Drake moves behind him and hugs his waist. "I am not a Liar."
"So...are you no longer mad at me?"
"How are you even sure it was your baby?" Elian grumbles.
"I am not."
"......."
"So are you no longer mad at me?" Drake smiles kissing his chin.
"You are not if the baby is yours? But you easily know if my baby is yours?"
"I haven't seen her yet. Just talk in the video. I'll meet her in the end of the month."
"Are you confident?" Elian asks.
Drake shrugged his shoulder. "Not sure. If it's not mine as long as it has a potential, I will take it. Another one baby in the house will make the family livelier."
"........are you adopting dogs?"
Drake frowns. "Are you getting mad again?"
"Get out."
"........."
. . . .
"I was kicked out of the room." Drake said
Freed snorts as he almost choke with air.
Drake glares at Freed. "I don't understand. I didn't cheat but I got kicked out of the bed?"
"......"
"What is wrong with a man who has a child from another woman? It's not like I will hook up withnher after my marriage." Drake rolls his eyes.
"How sure you are?" Freed asks.
"What?" Drake glares at him. This time the room feels so cold and the air gets thinner.
"I....I am just saying....what Elian must been thinking...."
The pressure returns to normal and Freed heave a sighs.
"What do you mean?" Drake asks.
"Elian must been confuse."
"Call him Duchess."
"......"
"Go on. Im listening."
Freed sighs.
"Duchess must been scared because of how you treating this without care. And that...it's obvious that new woman will do her best to steal you from him, seducing you."
"Like I said--"
"Yes. You are sure yourself that you won't cheat but Eli--Duchess doesn't have that confidence with you."
"Crazy! Why would he not believe me?"
Freed stares at Drake.
"Umm...You are a guy who has a child somewhere."
"So?"
"So...you are not really that trust worthy."
Crack**
Freed is so scared he duck and hides his head. "Your excellency, my words are not right....Please forgive me!!!"
"........" Drake slowly sat down and he looks at Freed "I am not trustworthy? I only have other woman before. I am not in any relationship before. How can I not be trustworthy for a thing I did when I am single?"
"That is not about logic, my lord. It's about feelings." Freed said.
".....feelings can accuse you of cheating?"
"Feelings can make you feel uncertain. Because living things don't want pain and avoid pain. If they might get hurt, everyone will feel defensive and scared to get hurt. Even if they know you are right, they will have doubts."
"......how stupid."
"True. It was stupid." Freed smiles. "But logic and intelligence can't control emotion and feelings."
"......what should I do then?"
"First.....you can only assure Eli--duchess that you wiill never leave or replace her."
"I already do that. He doesn't believe me."
"Do not stop coaxing. Until he has no choice but to believe."
"Hah.." Drake sighs.
"Second, please do not be insensitive toward his feelings."
"Can you repeat that?" Drake said.
".......I mean....you better talk less." Freed thinks its impossible to suddenly learn how to use EQ.
. . . . Sniff* sniff*
"And he even laughs!" Elian sniffs again and wipes his eyes with a tissue. "He laughs like it was nothing. 'Hey, I have another baby cause I am stupiiiid'. How can he talk like that?" Elian angrily said.
Eliza smiles while Elionora's lips are twitching.
Elian angrily grits his teeth. "And he doesn't even know if the baby is his. Like. It. doesn't .matter." Elian twisted the tissue in his hand. "And he said...if it's not mine then just adopt it. Like we are talking aboout dogs? 'Hey, I am stupiiid, who wants to have babies so much I just adopt all the babies' like an idiot!" Elian hugs his mother's arm. "Mom! I don't want to see him!"
"Fine fine. Calm down. You don't beed to see him. He promise to respect your will."
Elian sniffs and hugs Eliza tighter. "What if he go to that woman then?"
"....then let him go!" Eliza said clenching her fist.
"No no! Why would he go? What about our baby?" Elian shakes his head. "Let him stay but I don't want to see him." Elian frowns.
Elionora sighs. "Then don't let him see you. He should suffer a bit."
Elian nods. Then he softly whisper to Eliza. "Bring him thick blanket later. But don't say I say so."
Eliza rubs his head. "Okay."
