Just as Sebastian was about to shatter her scapula, Elena uttered something that froze him in his tracks.
“Say that again?” Sebastian stammered after a long moment.
“I’m carrying your child,” Elena repeated firmly.
Sebastian probed her with a surge of spiritual energy and indeed found a tiny life within her belly. It was almost unbelievable to him.
“How can I be sure this is mine?” he questioned.
“I’ve only been with you. It’s not like it could be anyone else’s,” Elena retorted coldly.
“You’re known as the ‘Queen Bee,’ notorious for your cunning and deceitful nature. How can I trust a word you say?” Sebastian sneered coldly.
“If you don’t believe me, go ahead and kill me. After all, the child would just be a bastard!” Elena gritted her teeth defiantly.
Sebastian hesitated, then slowly released his grip. He sensed that Elena wasn’t lying,
Elena was indeed known as the Queen Bee for her ruthless cunning. However, she had remained celibate in her 20s, and he had taken her virginity.
What stunned him more was the deep connection he felt when he used his spiritual energy to probe her just now. This revelation blindsided him completely. And what was even more unexpected was that Elena, of all people, was the first woman bearing his child.
He had envisioned having children with Lana, Lillian, Zoey, or Esme, but never in his wildest dreams had he imagined it would be Elena.
Elena had plotted his murder more than once, and he despised her to the core.
“Listen, Merlin,” Sebastian said sternly, “I’ll let you off this time, but never set foot in Dragotha again.”
“Okay, I promise I won’t return,” Merlin hastily assured him. He was truly shaken by Sebastian’s terrifying power.
“Also, hand over the Seraphic Tear Pendant and those two amulets,” Sebastian commanded firmly.
Despite Merlin’s deep reluctance, he handed over the Seraphic Tear Pendant and the two amulets to save his own life.
“One more thing-contact Magnus immediately and tell him I’m dead,” Sebastian added. Merlin immediately understood Sebastian’s intention, but at this point, it didn’t matter to him anymore. Besides, Magnus was merely a pawn in his game.
“Now get lost!” Sebastian said, dismissing Merlin and Elena. He knew today’s events would most likely deter Merlin from causing trouble again.
