Chapter 103

After dinner, Jennings carried Everly away to coax and play with her a little, it took him a serious pinky promise to visit Rachel and her child when he returns for the little girl to stop crying.

Lennox stretched his arms and lazily walked towards Annasophy's quarters. Usually, Bun-Bun would be following him closely like a little duckling, however, now he was followed by two scaredy cats. When he walks they walk, when he stops they stop, firmly keeping the ten steps distance. Lennox wasn't bothered by it, seeing how they would flinch whenever he looked at them, panicking and pushing each other to the front, he knew they were some poor newbies who were tricked by their older comrades.

Lennox paused in front of Annasophy's room, he glanced at the two servants, saying in a voice they could hear.

" you wait here, no need to follow "

" Y, yes, prince Lennox "

He took two steps forward then mannerlessly kicked the door open.

Annasophy's eyes twitched. She had just returned from a banquet and couldn't wait to take off her heavy dress and free herself. She really doesn't want to deal with her annoying little brother, but his face told her he won't be driven away today.

" Get out "

Lennox indifferently kicked Annasophy's lady-in-waiting out. He raised a brow at her, commenting on her attire.

" This is not what a pregnant woman should be wearing, or you don't even know this much? "

He flicked his finger and Annasophy's corset's strings loosened. She took a deep breath and leaned her back on the couch, closed her eyes and rubbed the space between her eyebrows.

" Thanks "

" Hn "

Lennox pondered at her pale and exhausted expression. Although Annasophy was the one who forced Roan into agreeing to abort the child, she acted the complete opposite of what she said. Paying attention to her meals, cautious when taking walks, organized and increased her sleeping hours, even reduced her outings as little as possible.

Does this look like someone who was planning on getting rid of their infant?

Lennox really couldn't understand her. If she wanted to keep it, then just keep it, he did tell the couple that he has a different plan according to their decision. But after deciding to abort it, she goes on acting like that and confusing herself. WHY????

In his entire life, Shianl had no less than five hundred wives, each was a beauty as a thousand blooming flowers, elegant as a fragile branch dancing in spring breeze–etc. However, these outstanding one-of-a-kind beauties would have their intelligence eaten by dogs once Shianl took them in. Biting and sneering at each other like stray cats, they wouldn't show such hostility even to their forever enemy. And if he inquired about their unreasonable enmity, they would throw a tantrum and turn on him, saying things like ( your excellency has the knowledge of the world and beyond heavens, yet can't understand this disheartened lover's heart? My lord is really uncaring )

JUST WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT???!!!

' forget it. No man can grasp a woman's thoughts, they all become dramatic peacocks once they turn fifteen. Not cute at all !! '

Seeing that he had no intention of saying anything, Annasophy spoke first.

" what do you want? "

" The old man will head to the north tomorrow, have you heard of this? "

Annasophy rolled her eyes. She really had no energy to do anything, but she also knows that Lennox won't come to her to have a tea party chat.

" Yes, daddy told me before. Why? "

" hm....since he will take at least two weeks to finish the investigation there, I think it's a good opportunity to proceed with the plan "

Annasophy's hand froze on her forehead, covering her eyes. She pursed her lips in a straight line and said nothing. Lennox wasn't in a hurry, so he crossed his arms and waited in patience. After a long while, Annasophy finally responded, she rubbed her face slowly, saying in a low tone.

" When is it? "

" two days after the old man leaves "

Annasophy once again became silent. Seeing her eye rems turning reddish, Lennox sighed. He brushed his head saying annoyingly.

" I guessed the sooner the better as to avoid troubles. However, if you changed your mind, you ought to tell me now "

Annasophy raised her watery eyes, looking at him with a deep gaze.

" And what's your plan if I decided to keep the baby? "

Lennox spread his hands, saying as-a-matter-of-factly:" telling the old man, of course. It's the safest and most effective solution in case you want to keep it "

" ABSOLUTELY NOT!! "

Annasophy suddenly shouted. If Jennings knew of this, judging from his overprotective personality, he will flip the Empire in rage. And Since he could never bear to hurt his lovely daughter, Jennings's wrath will all fall upon Roan. She can't even guarantee his life ba!!

" ugh, whatever. Tell your little lover to come see me, I will tell him the details in person "

He said that and stood to leave. Annasophy seemed to want to say something but suddenly halted, she closed her mouth and lowered her head in despair. Lennox glanced at her but didn't say anything, he turned and made his way out of her room.

Outside the Princess's quarters, the two little servants that Lennox let made them wait there, were playing rock-paper-scissor. Once they heard the donor's closing sounds, they both flinched and bowed towards him.

" p-prince Lennox, sire Ajiad Alphonsus has arrived per your s-summon. He is waiting in y-your study "

" Hn.... "

Lennox scanned the two fidgeting cats, one girl and one boy. Their appearance wasn't similar, however, they seemed to know each other very well. He walked back to his room with the two servants following a good distance behind him.

" Are you two siblings? "

The sudden question came to them unguarded. They blanked for a moment before nervously answering.

" no-no, we aren't "

" We grew together in the palace under the same nanny, that's all "

" Hmm....I see "

Then, nothing was said until Lennox returned to his room.
