Chapter 318 - [Bonus Chapter] Dominating Boy Vs, Pretty Princess

"Both of you come in, I have an urgent matter to discuss with you!" The calm but authoritative sound from inside broke the train of thoughts of both of them.

Yet Evan felt sweat all over her hands. From the time she had been forcibly invited to live here. Not even once had the duke called for her personally.

Could it be that he wanted to fix a date of marriage?

It would not be a wonder since her sole purpose to live here was to marry the young lord and be the new duchess of the house.

The maids had told her that they were marrying Leo before Eve so that when Eli would leave after marrying the crown prince, she could handle the responsibilities.

She even remembers that Leo often goes to war and protects the boundaries of the empire, so the duke wants an early offspring to assure himself.

What if he suddenly asked her to marry Leo and give him a grandson who would be the future heir of the family.

Since the women in the empire marry young and most of them have an early child. Would she be a mother since they were about to get married.

Looking at the behavior of Leo these days, it would not be a surprise if he would bed her the very first night after marriage. He was already having trouble restraining his hands and mouth when he came closer to her.

So, would he even relent if she would tell him that she was not sure if she could take the responsibility of a kid yet!

Her grip on his hands tightened as she felt he was being too dominating. Since the child would be of both of them. She should have an equal say in it. What if he learnt from Leo and behaved authoritative towards her too.

Her whole life would be spent while following the orders of the both!

"Are you trying to pull the arm from my shoulders suddenly?" Leo tilted his head and stared at the girl who was looking worried.

Her brows were knitted into a thin line and her whole face was full of sweat. His expressions soften suddenly.

Parting his lips, he was about to comfort her when the girl snapped her head towards him and glared at him as if he had owed her money.

"Leo! I am telling you if you keep dominating me in front of our child then I will not stay silent anymore!" 

"......." child! His eyes widened and the step he was about to take stopped with his feet extended in the mid air as if the spell of freezing had been spelled on him. 

All of his nerves felt a strong jolt of electricity and a wide grin formed on his face. 

He did not know why but an image of a small baby with golden hair and green eyes flashed in front of his eyes.

The idea of having a child never crossed his mind before but when he imagined it, his heart felt the happiness it had never felt before.

"Mmm, do not worry! I will keep her as a princess and pamper both of you!" he could already imagine the little girl grinning when he would bring a new princess dress for her!

The already wide grin only widened with that thought! All he wanted was to hug that girl and pat her hair now.

But the thought did not match with the small boy with dark hair and blue eyes in front of her that was looking at everyone with cold eyes except her but was very dominating.

"Who said we have a girl?" didn't the nobles always prefer boy over girl since a girl could not inherit no matter how qualified she was!

She had even lost all her properties and house. 

"Then do you want a boy? No way! I want a small princess!" she was stunned for a second when she felt him unleashing his authoritative aura over the matter.

"Evangeline, our first child would be a girl with golden hair! Did you get that!?" she puffed her cheeks and glared back at the man after being shocked for a few seconds.

Did he think that it was in her hands and moreover..

"Who are you to decide that? I am the one giving birth here? Do you even have any idea how painful it is?

Moreover if you have so much desire to have a girl, then why don't you give birth to her yourself?

I am reminding you only last time that you can not dominate me in front of our son or he would do so too!" her hands had already reached her hips as she continued to glare and scold the man who thinks that he was the one to decide everything.

"I would have if I could. And if you are so worried about having a dominating son, then you should just listen to me and give birth to a girl. 

She would hug us to sleep and would ask for pretty flowers instead of a sword!" she frowned when he enticed her with a sweet girl while his eyes were twinkling.

As if he could already see a small girl jumping in the garden with her tiny feet and plucking flowers for them.

"Think about it, she would even take your side if we had an argument!" he added when he saw that she was finally getting swayed by his wordings.

He held her by her shoulders and whispered in her ears, "the girl would be as beautiful and loving as you and I would pamper both of you. You are the one I love most!" hypnotizing the girl, he was about to take her in his embrace and kiss her when the door was open from the other side,

"Leo, Evangeline, are you still there?" 

"........."
