Vampire'S Secret Baby
|87|. Something You Want From Me?
Annette's heart trembled in happiness. His soul was shaken by the deep feeling of haru and fullness. Immediately he bent down and held Aldrich warm to small. Her tears fell as she said, "Thank you dear..."
"Thank you"
Seeing the sight of the mother and son in front of him who were holding each other lovingly, Egbert did not want to disturb them. Taking a few steps closer to the door, he walked out.
Annette held Aldrich in bed. He put his son to sleep while letting his index finger into the little mouth to suck his blood to sleep. Annette smiled at Aldrich's cute little mouth movements as she sucked her finger with her eyes closed.
Through the seconds and minutes, slowly his index finger pushed out and his son no longer suck. There was a quiet breath flowing quietly. Aldrich seems to have been lulled into a dreamland. Annette leaned down to gently tuck Aldrich's cold little cheeks. Then he went out of the room.
"Zeta" Annette called out to Zeta who happened to pass in front of her while carrying a duster.
"Yes madam?" Zeta asked politely.
"Do you know where Mr Egbert is now?"
"Ah, it looks like mister is in his study. I saw him go in there while cleaning up the dust on the west wing" Zeta said.
"Can you tell me where the office is?" Annette had never been to Egbert's study before. Five years ago, in this castle he only ever touched his room, kitchen, dining room, front room and garden.
That's why he doesn't know where Egbert's workspace is.
"There's a west wing. You just have to walk straight, right at the very end of the door, it's Mr. Egbert's workspace" Zeta said. His hand pointed towards the passageway while explaining to Annette, "Or what if I just get you there?" Zeta Bargain.
Annette quickly shook her head, "Ah, thank you. But you don't have to. I don't want to put off your work" said Annette, his eyes glancing at the duster Zeta was holding.
"Not at all, madam. You don't have to be so affectionate with me" Zeta said with her genuine smile etched clearly on her lips.
"No problem, I'll find it myself" Annette said with a wry smile, "Continue your work.."
Annette gently patted Zeta's shoulder before stepping off.
He follows Zeta's instructions to take the road to the right wing. Then walk down the hall until you find a door located at the end. While standing at the door, Annette unhesitatingly raised her hand and knocked on the door.
Inside, Egbert was studying a map of Merland. Hearing the door of his study on tap, his cold voice instantly rang out breaking apart the silent space, "Who?"
Out there Annette took a breath and squeezed her fingers nervously, "It's me"
Egbert was certainly no longer unfamiliar with that voice.
"Come in"
Standing by the arm of the sofa, Annette asked first, "Are you busy?"
Annette thought, if Egbert is busy enough now with her affairs. Then he'll talk about it tonight.
"No" Egbert picked up the paper map that lay on his desk and rolled it up quickly. Then he put the scroll on the table and went to Annette.
"What's wrong?"
"There's something I want to talk to you about"
Annette could feel her nervousness as she recalled what Egbert had done to her. It made his gaze chaotic, slightly erratic as he spoke to the vampire man.
Hearing that, Egbert directly walked to the sofa and sat down with his legs crossed casually, "Sit down then"
Annette took a deep breath and swallowed her slowly. Then he went to sit on the sofa as Egbert said.
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
Egbert sounded like he wanted their conversation to be going straight to the point.
"I-i..."
Annette failed to control her heartbeat, which was not so fast and the pulse in her chest fur made her feel so limp to sit up.
"You can tell me what you meant by your treatment of me"
Egbert looked at Annette with her pair of deeply puckered eyes. Obviously he didn't understand the meaning of Annette's question.
Annette took a breath and stopped him. Squeezing his fingers, he suppressed all his nervousness and anxiety, and spoke, "I learned from five years ago. When getting good treatment from you, it must be because you want something from me. Now I want to ask you, is there something you want from me?"
Annette has never forgotten the sweetest romantic moment of her life. Get a romantic dinner prepared by a handsome guy specifically for him. Her young and naive soul, just like that, had pushed herself to fall into the abyss of pseudo love. Which immediately ended tragically when he knew all the treatment and treatment, just a mere falsehood for the sake of...
Annette closed her eyes, too hard to remember. Because the memory was present like a sharp knife slicing through his heart— made the wound re-open with his sadist.
"Nothing"
"....?" Annette blinked her eyes and gagged.
"Nothing I want from you"
