Love Agreement With The King - Chapter 294

John walked hastily toward the coachman as he pulled Roselyn by her hand to follow him.

She was pretending to be mad at him.

“Step on the carriage and stop complaining!” John said giggling and rolling his eyes to Roselyn’s continuous complaining about not knowing where they were going.

Roselyn finally stepped on the carriage followed by John who walked behind her. He then recommended to the coachman to slow down since Roselyn was pregnant.

On Kratez the affected animals turned back to normal, so the supernatural creatures in Kratez chilled down when they found their food again and satisfied their hunger.

The atmosphere was better and peaceful so that John had the idea to bring Roselyn on a journey in a special place.

“There’s something I always wanted to ask you,” Roselyn said as she sat in a more comfortable position for her little bump.

“Tell me,” John said handing her a pillow that she put behind her back.

“Is your name John or Johnatan?” Roselyn asked making John smile hearing her question, she had waited all that time to make such a silly question?

John nodded, “my name is Johnatan but everyone always called me John. Only my mother called me like that so only a few people who had met her and heard her call me with my full name know that.”

“And you like being called John rather than Johnatan?” Roselyn asked, slightly curving her eyebrows down as a glimpse of sadness filled her heart, it must be hard for him to hear people call him by his full name and remember his mother.

John let out a sigh as he gazed at an empty spot for some seconds probably depersonalizing from his body as he was flooded with all those emotions and thoughts.

“I like John more.” He said as he lowered down his voice and blinked few times to focus his vision and come back to reality.

Roselyn hinted at a smile, she entwined her fingers with his as she hold his hand. “I have met my father only a few times before he disappeared. My mother barely talked about him but when she did a spark in her eyes appeared and her smile filled with both joy and sadness. I wonder how the memory of someone can make your heartbeat of happiness but at the same time shutter it in peace.”

John smiled as he nodded, “yes, sometimes I wonder what she thinks of me or if she can see me and if she does, is she proud or disappointed? There are so many doubts left unanswered that sometimes I refuse to think about them because I don’t want to get sad. That may be a selfish unconscious mechanism but I don’t think I would be strong enough to find out what there’s beyond life and death for people like me.” John vociferated his thoughts with a bit of worry on his face. His mind also drifted to think about Ethan, after everything he did and all the lives he took he surely was in the supernatural underworld by now.

“Everyone unconsciously mentally reacts to painful thoughts about ignoring their existence but that’s fine John. The most important thing right now is that you’re here, we’re going to have a family and you’re turning into the best version of yourself. I couldn’t be happier and prouder than you.” Roselyn replied smiling at him whose lifted her hand and placed a soft kiss on her hand and rested his head on her shoulder as he sighed.

“I know. I am grateful to you for that. At least since I have met you I did something good in my life.”

Roselyn murmured tilted her head on his and she closed her eyes falling asleep easily while John still had in his fingers entwined with hers.

During her pregnancy, she fell asleep quite easily and faster the usual, however, John didn’t wake her up.

She slept for about one hour while John spent that hour talking to the coachman and making sure everything was fine in his new house. The coachman nodded and replied with joy thanking John multiple times for having given him rent and a farm.

He also recognized Roselyn’s sleep and tiredness, since his wife was also a mother he asked if she was pregnant. John didn’t want to lie to him since he probably already knew he was so he nodded but asked him to keep the secret.

Right then Roselyn woke up, she slowly opened her eyes and she found both the men in the carriage looking at her, probably wondering if she heard their conversation.

Roselyn scratched her head quite confused and then she rubbed her eyes to focus her vision, “why are you looking at me? Did I turn into a ghost?” Roselyn complained making John and the coachman both giggle.

“He asked me if you fell asleep because you were pregnant and I had to tell him the truth,” John explained. It took Roselyn about few instants to reorganize her ideas and understand what John said since she was still in sleepy mode.

She smiled to the coachman, “yes, I am pregnant.” She said, tightening her dress over her back exposing her little bump.

The coachman who was looking at her with the corner of his eye smiled widely, “congratulations!” He exclaimed, “you will be two amazing parents!”

Roselyn and John stared at each other smiling as they nodded. They knew they will and they couldn’t wait to meet their son.

The carriage finally took off and the coachman walked down to open the carriage’s door for Roselyn, as soon as she peeked she recognized the place and a huge smile curved her lips.

John was already smiling, even at the thought of making her happy, she took the coachman’s hand to hold onto it as she lifted her long skirt with her other hand and she walked out.

John giggled as he followed his wife who had begun to run completely forgetting about her pregnancy.
