My Dear Duke(BL)
Chapter 183: Ready

Chapter 183: Ready

"Anne wishes to make some friends. And she wants to go to the academy. So I informed her tutor that we wouldn’t need her anymore. I guess she got upset."

That’s what Felix said to Asher when Asher questioned him about what he saw.

Obviously, that’s all Felix can say to answer Asher.

’I can’t tell Asher a married lady was in love with me and had told her friend about it who then encouraged her to try to impress me so in case she succeed she can divorce her husband and marry me which led her to plant a spy here to find out more about me but where things didn’t went too well and now everything got exposed which force me to fire that friend who is also my daughter’s tutor.’

’...I can’t believe something like this really happened.’

At least, their actions were not meant to be harmful.

After his discovery and confession from Miss Lara, Anne’s tutor, he definitely didn’t want Miss Lara around them anymore.

So he fired her just as her confession ended where she begged to forgive Ms Pearl who is now terrified and had given up on him after releasing it wouldn’t be too good if her husband was to know.

Miss Lara didn’t cry from the news of getting fired but at Felix’s word to not care about Ms Pearl anymore. She was thankful he was willing to forgive them.

Actually, he never said he had forgiven them.

But, whatever...

He didn’t want to care about them.

So, that’s how it ended.

And, that’s also how Anne started to go to the academy.

Going to the academy was not anything planned or thought about before.

After Felix fired miss Lara, Felix couldn’t say he fired her to Anne.

So he ended up lying, telling her it was hard for miss Lara to get time to teach her and suggested the idea of her going to the academy where she could even make friends as Anne is now old enough to enter.

Obviously, Felix warned miss Lara about what to say to Anne if she were to ever meet her.

He was confident she would follow along as she fears him for the goodwill of her friend and herself.

It obviously wouldn’t be too good if others were to know a married lady went behind her husband’s back and her friend helped her and encouraged her to build up dreams about a life with another man.

When people are thirsty for drama, a little piece of information regarding a wife could spiral out of control. So...it’s their best choice to not offend Felix if they don’t want to be the main topic among people ever.

So, that’s how it ended. Completely.

Turned out, it was that simple to get rid of and end.

So that incident was soon forgotten with the new and exciting events that folded around him.

All about Asher, the gifted omega...

The witch was indeed right.

Asher seems to have experienced pregnancy just now.

The little bump on his stomach has grown significantly.

It looked worrisome for a person that did not know what was happening with Asher.

"I think it’s time for me to change places..."

As Asher and Felix talked about how much Asher’s stomach had grown, Asher said and Felix paused, but also understanding it was time to take another step.

"Maybe it’s time for me to move to sir Lucas’s place. I think the maids are noticing my changes. They think I am sick. And they had seen you always looking at me worryingly. So, it has apparently confirmed to them that I am sick and might be dying."

Asher said, chuckling as he did not find those rumours offensive. Actually, they made him laugh and guess possibly what assumption these maids would next come up with.

It’s actually very funny.

He likes to hear what they think about him.

All the time, he had only heard them talk good things about him. And, they always seem to worry for him.

So they really like him? And, also the duke?

"What? They have started another gossip?"

Felix asked with a groan.

"Well, I don’t blame them. I would be worried too if I suddenly became so big and tired all the time."

Asher said and patted Felix’s back as he seemed upset. Well, he didn’t want to hear anything about dying. Even as a joke or someone’s guess. But it could be unfair and weird to think others would think the way he thinks.

Obviously, they don’t care about Asher’s presence as much as he does.

Maybe, he shouldn’t take this very seriously...

"...Then, do you want to move to Lucas’s place tomorrow?"

Felix asked, back to senses.

"I think it’s best if we do that. I don’t want people to see me have this little bump get bigger and arouse curiosity or suspicion. It’s better to disappear at this time."

"Okay then. I will inform Lucas tomorrow."

Felix said and Asher turned around to find a comfortable position to fall asleep, their bodies touching as they cuddled.

It had been hard for Asher to sleep well as he get a really disturbing back pain out of nowhere. Even though he falls asleep again soon after the disturbance, he still feels salty about not being able to sleep straight all the hours.

But guess he has to compromise.

In the future, maybe he won’t be able to sleep even a little.

He had heard newborns aren’t easy.

They fuss and cry all the time.

The worst? You won’t even know why exactly they are crying.

It would have been easier if children were even with the ability to talk..

’God...What am I thinking? Sigh...’

Asher would often laugh at himself for over thinking and imagining all sorts of things related to babies.

Maybe...

He is ready...

He is ready to be a parent.

’I am nervous and scared but...also excited and hopeful!’
