Chapter 417
Aria and Noah were confused by their father's words. But they were overjoyed that their father had returned. They were confident he would.
Adrian stood up straight and held their hands.
"Have a meal with Dad," he said to them.
They grinned at him happily and nodded their heads at them.
Natalia walked towards them and said to the children,
"No, you should get cleaned up first."
"No, please, Mommy. We will go after-
Adrian cut Aria off as he said,
'Listen to your mommy. Go and return quickly. Dad will wait for both of you."
Hearing him, they yanked their hands and dashed upstairs to their rooms to freshen up.
Natalia laughed at their actions. They were very adorable. They were ecstatic to see Adrian after such a long time.
Adrian gave a quick glance at the stairs before turning away. Natalia's bright smile caught his attention.
Natalia shifted her gaze, and Adrian caught it.
She blushed as she noticed how carefully he was looking at her.
He moved closer. She gulped and lowered her head.
"You look weak. It seems like you skipped your meals lately."
His tone was kind of angry, showing his care for her. She raised her head to look at him.
She smiled at him and replied,
"You had left your twins with me. They watched out for me."Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
He lifted his hand and cupped her cheek. His thumb brushed against her cheek softly.
"You have to be stronger."
She sneered as she mumbled, "You know I am an Alph-
"So what if you are an Alpha? You still seem delicate to me, and I have to look after you. So, starting now, you must eat well. I will ensure that."
His words and calm tone hit her heart, and it was like a bell of love rang inside it.
She gripped his wrist and brought her cheek closer to his hand. She could not express her happiness in words.
She remembered what the doctor had said in the pack hospital. She was pregnant.
Since Adrian was back, she felt that it was the best time to let everyone know the happy news.
*Adrian, I have something to tell you."
Adrian gave her a gesture with his head to continue. She took a deep breath and started to speak again.
"Adrian, H am-'
Natalia could not say what she wanted to say. Because a voice interrupted her.
"Were they your kids?"
Natalia spun around to see Hazel coming down the steps. She shifted her eyes and noticed that Hazel was wearing one of her dresses.
"This dress? Where did you get it from?" Natalia inquired as she moved toward the staircase.
Hazel lowered her head to look at her dress. She then returned her gaze to Natalia and replied,
*Sister, one of your maids gave it to me. She said before the wedding you stayed in a room and so a few of your dresses were there."
Natalia realized that she had spent a few days in Aria and Noah's room after the war and before the wedding. So there were a few dresses left.
Hazel stepped into the last step and spun around to show her dress.
"Adrian, don't I look like her?"
