Mikhail mentioned that there was a way to momentarily divert Haldin’s attention. At first, she had considered going through the divorce procedures neatly, but if he didn’t have the intention, there was no reason for her to stick to those procedures either. So, at any time, she could leave his side whenever she wanted. ‘Perhaps it’s better this way. Since it will be a long journey, settling down during stability and leaving might be better,’ she thought. The long journey in the early stages of pregnancy would undoubtedly be challenging for the baby inside her.

With these thoughts, Blair felt more composed. After organizing her plans for the future in her mind, she pulled the string of the spinning top. However, Lena and Melli, who would usually come running promptly, were nowhere to be seen. Just as she was about to pull the string again, wondering about their absence, a knock on the door signaled its opening. “Madam!”

Melli and Lena entered, each holding a small bag and a bouquet of flowers. Both of them had expressions filled with congratulations. “Congratulations on becoming a mother!” “We wanted to give you a present, but we didn’t know what to give… So, we hurriedly went out and bought candies good for morning sickness.” “And this is a bouquet of flowers.” Melli offered lemon-flavored candies, while Lena presented a bouquet with a neatly tied ribbon. They seemed to have already heard the news.

Blair, looking at their gifts and their puzzled expressions, burst into laughter and accepted them. “Thank you both so much.” The two of them knew nothing about the contract marriage between Haldin and her, or whatever had happened between them. They only knew that a new life had been conceived between the master and the madam. Regardless of Haldin’s intentions for wanting this child, the baby in her belly deserved blessings. Just by safely settling into her womb, the child had already done enough. Blair was sincerely grateful to the two children who reminded her of a fact she had almost forgotten. Especially, the fact that both Lena and now Melli, who had blessed only Lena in the previous life, had joined in this celebration, held a slightly deeper meaning for Blair at this moment. “Returning to the past may not be entirely meaningless.” Even though her relationship with Haldin couldn’t escape the past, in another aspect, the choices of this life had brought about a good connection. Thinking that way, the melancholic mood that had lingered since last night was much improved for Blair. However, the two people who had uplifted Blair’s spirits seemed sullen. “I thought you were tired a lot recently, ma’am. I thought you were probably having a hard time because of his lordship,” Lena expressed, her words revealing resentment toward Haldin. “I’m sorry; if we had known you were pregnant, we should have been more careful. We’re sorry.” Amidst their apologies, with traces of resentment toward Haldin, Blair smiled and shook her head. “It’s okay. It’s natural for the young ladies who haven’t been married to be unaware. And amidst that, you both took good care of me, making sure I ate regularly.” Only then did the two women’s expressions brighten up. After staring at Blair’s slim belly for a while, Lena asked a question.
Blair, momentarily staring blankly at the gifts and the two individuals, burst into laughter as she received them.

“Thank you both so much.”

The two individuals are unaware of the contractual marriage between Haldin and Blair or any details between them. They only know that a new life has been conceived between the master and mistress. Regardless of Haldin’s intentions for wanting this child, the baby in the womb deserved blessings. Just by settling safely into her belly, the child had already done enough.

Blair, who even forgot this fact herself, sincerely thanked the two children who reminded her of it. Especially, the fact that Melly joined in this celebration, collaborating with Lena, who had only given blessings in Blair’s past life, had a slightly deeper meaning for Blair at this moment.

‘Coming back to the past may not be entirely meaningless.’

Although her relationship with Haldin couldn’t escape the past, in another aspect, the choices of this life had brought about a good connection. With such thoughts, the melancholic mood that had lingered since last night improved for Blair.

However, the two people who had uplifted Blair’s spirits seemed sullen.

“I thought you, sir, were causing the mistress to be tired a lot recently. You should have troubled her a bit.”

“If I had known that the baby was conceived, I should have been more careful in examining her. I’m sorry.”

Even amid Lena’s words revealing resentment toward Haldin, Blair smiled and shook her head.

“It’s okay. It’s natural for young ladies who haven’t been married to be unaware. And amidst that, you both took good care of me, making sure I ate regularly.” Only then did the two women’s expressions brighten up.

After staring at Blair’s slim belly for a while, Lena asked a question.

“Then, madam, when is the baby expected to be born?”
