Vampire'S Secret Baby
|74|. You Dare to Slap Me?

Egbert pulled Annette's hand, went to take her upstairs. As she climbed the stairs, Annette was overwhelmed by Egbert's long, fast-moving legs. The selfish man did not think about it at all, who had stumbled several times almost falling.

"Egbert, where do you want to take me?"

Annette has a bad feeling. But given the current he is the mother of his vampire son...

'She definitely won't do anything bad to me, will she?'

Egbert did not answer. Dragging Annette to the front of a door.

Annette's heart was beating fast, "W-What do you want to do?"

Seeing Egbert's hand holding the doorknob and pulling it down, his tightly shut mouth refused to say a word to answer.

Annette squeezed her fingers nervously,

'Oh no, is he thinking of locking me up?'

The feeling made Annette ready to pull her hand and run. But Egbert quickly blocked his arm, making him only able to stay in place.

"Lake in!" Egbert pushed the door open.

A spacious room with a cool aesthetic welcomes Annette's retina. Inside it was quite dark, there was only a yellow glimmer of light from the illuminating sleeping lights.

A pair of Annette's legs stuck hard on the floor, clearly hesitant to leave. But under Egbert's sharp gaze, he let out a heavy sigh and entered.

As soon as he was inside, Egbert closed the door. Annette heard the click-click-click—directly know that the man had locked this room meeting. The alarm that made him realize, 'It seems like he really locked me up here'

A pair of Annette's shoulders fell, her head bowed.

It was heard that someone pressed the switch and the room instantly became bright with a white light from the crystal lamp hanging on the ceiling of the room.

Nah!

It was too luxurious for a room that was only used as a place to sleep.

Annette raised her head and circulated her gaze around . He saw a soft dark red carpet on the floor. It carried a hint of a bloody mystical feeling.

Beds with gold poles and white mosquito nets. Creating the atmosphere of a lonely king's room. The walls are plated with gold powder, giving a touch of luxury.

Four sleeping lights hanging on every corner of the wall, might be a little horror if lit with the white curtain of windows that move in the wind.

Annette hugged her body scared, "Egbert"

"Em"

"I-I know I was wrong. B-but, can you not punish me by locking me up in this place?" Annette bit her lower lip, half-shudding with a room that looked more like a horror movie location.

"Then if you don't punish you, do you expect me to forgive you, do you?" Egbert raised one of his eyebrows, indifferently.

Annette pulled both corners of her lips, her row of white teeth lined up with a smile, "Can't you?" Ask. His voice sounded shrinking.

"No!"

"Egbert" Grumbled Annette madly.

That rotten man, what can be expected? He had been tormented with all the suffering of the past five years, but there was not the slightest hint of tenderness from his icy south polar eyes.

"..."

"Five years ago, you thought if it wasn't for you, would I have run away huh?"

"What do you mean?" Egbert's eyes narrowed deeply.

"You obviously don't care about my life and death, so why would I survive just to give birth to your seed?"

"..."

That speech brought him into memory five years ago. When his weak body lay on the bed between life and death. His ears heard something that instantly sliced his heart into shapeless pieces.

"..." - ".Egbert was silent with his lips tightly clenched. Waiting for Annette who forgot her emotions of sadness and downfall.

"You're obviously saying— I don't care about the girl's life because all I need is a baby in her stomach" said the sentence, saying, Annette again felt the same pain she had five years ago.

His darkest and worst time in life.

A time that has disrupted all peace and pushed it down to the brink of destruction to the bottomless.

"K-you— no!" Annette shook her head with a wry smile, "That's me" Annette pressed down on her chest, referring to her wounded self, "I am so stupid that I'm lulled so easily into your ruse"

"Then..." Finally Egbert spoke.

"What happened after you ran away? You're thinking of aborting my son, aren't you?"

Annette squeezed her fingers, nodding, "Em. At first I was thinking of dropping it with me"

Egbert's jaw hardened, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, five years ago I was thinking about jumping off a hospital roof and dying"

"..." - ".Egbert's eyes widened, fleetingly glowing red with a faint trace of fury.

"But someone came to restrain my actions.." Saying that, subconsciously Annette's lips curved up slightly with a smile. Remembering a handsome young doctor who was the heart of angel— for which he still stands today and lives with a handsome son.

'How are you doing now?'

'I'm still sorry because five years ago I just left without saying thank you'

"Who is that someone? Is he a vampire like me?"

The question that shot out of Egbert's mouth instantly made Annette's forehead wrinkle.

"And the baby you're saying is my son, is that actually the vampire milim who saved you?"

"Why do you think that?"

"Why again?" Egbert flipped over the question with a sneering smile, "I don't see the slightest resemblance between me and Aldrich, let alone his corny yellow hair..."

"..." - ".Annette's eyes were ready to heat up, wrinkling the base of her sour nose with a feeling of disappointment.

"Where else would it have come from if it wasn't his father who was obviously not me" Egbert pointed to his head hair that was as deep black as spilled ink.

Annette took a few steps forward and...

Plaque!

His palms were burning and numb in tingling. It was obvious that he had just exerted such a powerful force when slapping Egbert's low-temperature cheek.

Both of Egbert's hands clenched, "You dare slap me?"

"You deserve it!" Sassy Annette replied.

"..." - ".Egbert's black eyes that were gleaming red, trembled withstanding anger.

"You're babing*n—" Annette pressed her index finger against Egbert's chest and her sobbing lips said, "You're the dog*n among the bajing*n , who I least want to meet!"

Butwhy?

No. That was five years ago..

And not even now.

Why does fate always make him meet her?
