「I'm Having a Baby」So My Husband Told Me

Of Course I Get Jealous

Translated by: S3

Treat me to a Ko-Fi to give me more motivation!!!

*****

「Arthur, I'm going to tell you one important thing. My husband cannot be in that kind of relationship with a woman.」

「What kind of relationship is that kind?」

This guy... he understands, but he's asking on purpose.

I frowned and looked at the being in my arms, who was using the opportunity to look back with eyes that screamed pure innocence. That sparkle is so fake!

「It's about... doing the chome-chome...」

「Chome-chome? I'm a child, so I don't understaaand!」

「That's right, you're a child. It's time for children to sleep, so sleep.」

I wasn't in the mood to put up with that right now... my mood was ruined.

So, when I looked at him with eyes as cold as ice, the infant, who finally caught on, feigned sleep again. Just stay silent like that.

After confirming Arthur was playing possum, I looked at my husband.

「When was it that you were lovers?」

「Long before I met you... I'd say more than ten years ago.」

My husband is currently 25 years old. So, when he was around 15.

「I see. Unlike me, you certainly had a lively youth, didn't you? May the normies explode.」

「Normie... what is that?」

「It's nothing.」

I shook my head and then looked at the silver-haired woman. The more I looked, the more beautiful she was, enough to make me sigh.

Her figure was voluptuous in the right places... she flaunted an alluring style, a beauty that every man would gaze at once.

Though perhaps she didn't have this alluring quality when she was younger.

「Is this the first time you've met in ten years?」

「It is.」

「Your thoughts?」

「Why do you ask such a thing?」

「Oh, just curious.」

That was a lie. I desperately wanted to know what he thought. But jealousy is pathetic and embarrassing, so there was no way I could say that.

（Don't you feel your heart waver looking at your former lover, now a gorgeous, alluring woman? I can't ask that.）

I always make joking confessions of love, but pathetically, I truly, truly love my husband, Lord Cloud.

I want to love rather than be loved. But I also want to be loved. Is that selfish?

If he were to take a mistress, like his father did, I would think it unavoidable. It's not uncommon for nobility.

And yet, I also think.

（I want him to love only me.）

If I were to say that! If I actually said it!

I would definitely become a heavy woman, wouldn't I?

I knew that, which is why I couldn't say it.

And because the woman noticed that hesitation, she confidently directed her beautiful smile at Lord Cloud.

The silver-haired beauty addressed Lord Cloud without losing her beautiful smile.

「I heard about it, but is that really your wolf form? It's quite handsome.」

That comment brought a little relief.

She had never seen Lord Cloud's transformed state. I felt a slight sense of superiority over this fact, which just shows how small-minded and pathetic I am!

「Even so, haven't you changed your taste? What is this chinchikurin?」

Who is she referring to as chinchikurin (midget/pipsqueak)? Ah, is it this tiny being in my arms? I see, I understand.

「Melissa is my precious wife. I have loved, and will only ever love, her.」

Yes, a vow of eternal love—that should be the moment to rejoice.

But wait, can you at least deny the chinchikurin part? Because you just responded, 'Chinchikurin equals me, Melissa,' is now confirmed. What are you going to do about that?

However, the silver-haired beauty seemed to place more importance on the love confession part. She raised one eyebrow for a moment, and a slightly dangerous light flickered in her eyes. It vanished quickly, though.

「Well, it doesn't matter. My relationship with you ended ages ago. More importantly... I'm surprised you'd keep such a weakness close by. You're a Duke who is a target; you must have known that if you took a wife and child, this would happen, right?」

「Melissa is my wife, but Arthur is not my child, he is my nephew.」

「Huh?」

「Nonnalie, you have made a major mistake.」

「I made a mistake?」

「Yes. First, you kidnapped the nephew my wife cherishes. Second, you chose to do it on the day of his birthday party. The important party that Melissa meticulously planned. And the third mistake... this one is the biggest.」

「I made no mistake. The security is thin on a party day; that calculation was perfect, wasn't it?」

Her confident face and eyes questioned Lord Cloud. She wanted to know what the third mistake in her perfect plan was.

The smile of the silver-haired beauty, Nonnalie, did not waver.

In contrast, Lord Cloud smirked and glanced back at the gaping hole in the broken wall.

「Your biggest mistake... was kidnapping Arthur on the day he returned.」

「He?」

「Arthur's father.」

No sooner had Lord Cloud spoken than the sound of a foot kicking the wall echoed.

In front of the silver-haired beauty, whose eyes widened, and me, that person vaulted through the hole.

Lord Rauldo, a Count currently rising through the ranks due to his swordsmanship talent, leaped from outside onto the second floor with a lightness surprising for his large body.

「Give me back my son!」
