A week passed by, and Adeline was heavily pregnant. By now, she was having difficulties walking and standing. Her complexion was pale and she looked like she'd faint any moment now.
Adeline always felt tired, her lower back had sharp pains, and she rarely slept comfortably in the past few days. The last two weeks were approaching, and Elias never left her side. He only completed paperwork when she was fast asleep.
Elias had moved his desk into their room. Even though his hand was scribbling on the paper, he could never look away from Adeline's sleeping body. She'd toss and turn in bed, even when he was holding her.
"I can walk on my own," Adeline said, blushing when they walked past a pair of servants who paused at the sight of them, before whispering and smiling amongst themselves.
