Vampire'S Secret Baby
|28|. Pregnant Outside Marriage

Annette's getting ready to go to college. Out there Gordon's been waiting for him right in the castle yard. Standing in front of the mirror, watching his huge belly. Annette hesitated to leave. What if the kids realize the peculiarity of his body?

His stomach was too big to cover. It was exactly like a woman who had entered the age of seven months. So in vain if he wrapped his body tightly in a jacket to hide it, it would only remain visible.

"Haah" Annete let out a long sigh and with heavy strides he came to the edge of the bed and sat down.

At that moment the door to his room was knocked. Annette weakly asked, "Who?"

"This is my mistress, Micah"

"Come in"

After getting his permission, the door opened and Micah walked inside.

"Mrs, Mr Gordon is waiting for you outside, you're not leaving now?" Ask Micah politely. At first glance he could see the lethargic face of Annette mixed with a little gloom.

"What do you think would happen if a young pregnant student like me came to study?" Annette asked, without looking at Micah. His sorrowful gaze looked straight at the panorama outside the castle from the window of his room.

Micah understood for a moment why Annette suddenly looked so sad.

"Now some campuses have allowed their students to get married and even become pregnant. So I thought, it's not a problem as long as there is no prohibition for pregnant women to follow learning" Micah replied.

Her fate may be a bit similar to Annette's. He was an orphan. Only he didn't want to go to high school like Annette. As long as he had a comfortable place to stay and money to make ends meet, for him it was enough to become a servant in Egbert castle.

"But still, my marriage is not legally recognized. They're gonna think I'm just a bad boy who's into playing wild and getting pregnant out of wedlock" That's what Annette thinks. Although she conceived Egbert's child purely after marrying the man. But still, the marriage was only valid by custom and the law of the Egbert nation.

So in the eyes of society, she is nothing more than a woman who is pregnant out of wedlock.

"Sorry madam if my question is presumptuous, is being a scholar that important to you?"

Hearing the question, Annete immediately turned his gaze toward Micah, "Em" Annete nodded later in response.

"I want to change my life. At least I have a degree behind my name, which can make it easier for me to find a steady job" It's very difficult to have a stable livelihood in an era full of high competitiveness like this. So far he is just a job with a very small salary.

"Then, what are you going to do now?" Micah asked then, "This is your life after all. No matter what people say, in the end you are the one who lives and accepts the consequences. Not them"

The words made Annette realize. Micah's right. Anyway, this is his life. He should not be influenced by the words and the way people look at him. Because lastly, he is the one who runs down all the sweet and bitter things, not the people.

"Thank you Micah" A trace of a smile rose on Annette's lips that this time no longer pale like last time.

"Now I know what choice to make"

......................

Annette had decided, in the end he went to the campus and got thousands of pairs of eyes staring at him full of question marks and wonder. As soon as the minutes and seconds passed, people started talking about themselves in the back. Without even listening directly, Annete knew what they were talking about.

Lucy who usually came to greet him, now looked at him with another point of view. Annette could feel Lucy starting to keep her distance and Annette could do nothing about it.

'Hah, it turns out that some people are so quick to change'

"Please answer the truth.." The woman in her forties with her hair was neatly knotted, staring fixedly at Annette's bowed face, "What are the rumors that the children are right that you are pregnant out of wedlock?"

"..." - ".Annette twisted her fingers with a faint crumbling feeling of sadness and anger mixed with helplessness. He doesn't know what to answer.

"I'm disappointed in you Annette" For the bespectacled woman, Annette's silence is the answer to the hot rumors that have spread throughout the campus is true.

"This cube cannot bear the disgrace you carry, so the choice you have is two" The woman folded her hands on the table and continued, "You took the initiative yourself to get out or the foundation did it for you"

And that day, Annette lost her scholarship and left her college life. Only a few semesters left...

"Since when has everything been a mess like this?" Annette stared at the bright white ceiling and her poignant heart instantly made her cry profusely.

Not that his bad luck. In the afternoon when he came to work, the mini market manager came to see him that he was no longer hired at the place because he had been absent from work too often. After receiving the severance pay, Annette did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"Annette"

Annette turned to the summoner who was nothing but someone who was already like a sister and family to her.

"Kak—" Annette's lips trembled, she ran to hug Laura tightly and cried violently.

Laura is in pain for Annette. The girl lost her scholarship, got kicked out of college and even now her job is over.

"Remember, even if you no longer work in this minimarket. But the relationship between us won't change" Laura said, her hand slapping Annette's shoulder, "You can meet me whenever you want"

"Thank you sister" The only thing Annette was grateful for that day was the fact that Laura was still ready to accept her circumstances and her turmoil.

Sean has been listening to news on Annette's discharge from college. Now he was talking over the phone with Egbert to inform him of this.

"I didn't think your wife would be that determined to keep going to college"

"Yes, she's an unyielding little girl" That's all Egbert can say.

"I'm sure he's hit right now, so cheer him up!"

"..." - ".Egbert did not answer.

Sounded ******* weight from across, "Remember she is pregnant, do not let the condition deteriorate mempe—"

"I understand" Cut Egbert. Actually, he was sick of hearing that thing that seemed to have come out hundreds of times from Sean's mouth.

"I know what to do" he said again.

"So there's no need to repeat this boring thing"

After that, the conversation was ended side by side by Egbert.
