Carrying the Alpha's Heir novel Chapter 16

Chapter 14: The Vista’s Part 2

We are all gathered in the dining area and all that I can hear is the sharp sounds of the metal fork and knives when hits the glass plate.

They were having a conversation from time to time, and I am just listening while trying to focus on them. Vigor on the other hand is kind of annoying, he keeps on pulling me closer to his side and its weird and embarrassing, can’t he see that they were looking at us in every single move?

“Stop it, do you want to cuddle in times like this?” I whispered to his ears.

He smirked and glanced at me, “You want?” He blurted back.

I almost rolled my eyes and get away from him for an inch and tried to listen to the talks between two families again.

“You mean we should limit the visitors?” My mom asked while playing the red wine on her glass.

“Yes, the wedding ceremony is to be done early in the morning and by nighttime, Pyress should be with us.” The elder said.

“That is okay with us. Plus, we don’t want a big wedding ceremony at time like this.” My dad whispered.

“Then I guess it’s clear.” The lady of the Vista’s said.

I smiled and sighed in relief. I prayed that this conversation would be good but somehow because of what happened these past few days I also thought that there would be complications.

“Who are we to say no to the family that accepted my daughter, even after what happened.” My dad suddenly said that made us all silent.

My heart skips a beat. It was like I am shrinking from my seat in embarrassment and disappointment. I am not mad that daddy said it because that topic is important. But that made me feel dirty- as a woman and it’s painful.

Because I was too preoccupied by my emotions, I didn’t notice that they were all looking at me. they were silent, and Vigor is breathing deeply and slowly, it’s like he’s suppressing something.

“It was painful for me as a father also that I am not there when my only daughter is seeking my help. Until now, we have no lead of who the hell did that to my daughter, but I will do my best on our investigation.” My dad said. My heart fluttered and the pain that was on my chest suddenly faded.

“What’s i-important here is the fact that they love each other,” Liria butts in because it seems like the whole clan couldn’t find a word to say.

“Yes, I may not want this process of having a baby first before marriage, but I guess I have no other choice but accept the fact that I’m old enough to be a grandfather.” My dad jokingly said.

I giggled and touched my dad’s hands and caress it. “Thank you, daddy.” I whispered.

After the formal talk with the clan, we had a tea party on the backyard. The men are talking seriously on the side and me and Liria was left sitting on the sun lounger.

“When did you met Lex?” I asked her.

She smiled. “Very long story. But in short, I met him at the island.” She said while smiling.

“You look so beautiful, Liria. Are you some kind of a Goddess?” I jokingly said.

She chuckled. “I am no Goddess,”

We’re having a random talk when our topic suddenly went on the wedding traditions. “You mean at nighttime there will be a ceremony?” I asked to clear things out.

“Yes, it’s not hard though. All you have to do is sleep.” She spoke.

I find it weird, but I just nodded. I caressed my stomach and felt that my baby bump is bigger than yesterday. Is it possible that being 2 months pregnant is visible? I guess mine is bigger than normal.

Is it because I eat a lot? Will the baby get affected by this?
