Arranged Marriage

A year (2)

Although the British aristocratic system is where those rare probabilities are concentrated, a case like him would not be considered such a miracle. Yeah, definitely. It’s not Alpha-like, and it will only become a rumor.

There is no noble Omega who would marry such a flawed being. Having a child on the brink of divorce? That sentence itself is hilarious. To be able to remarry, the child must be erased.

Luther said that even a small risk or stress could cause miscarriage. Since the chances of him being pregnant was almost zero but it happened, it’s only natural that keeping it will be difficult.

He may have had a miscarriage already.

It would be a lie to say that he is not stressed by the current situation. He has been suffering for two days under pressure whose exact cause is unknown. The more he thinks about the conversation he had with Ash, the more he knows it isn’t a bad situation. However, he can’t get it off his head. It’s the same feeling as when he waited but didn’t receive any texts from Ash in the distant past.

Karlyle can’t come to a definition for this feeling. Emotion and expression are the most difficult tasks for the man named Karlyle Frost. They are like organs that have deteriorated due to not being used for so long. Over the past 32 years, his emotions have become dull, leaving behind only what is necessary.

Ash must have felt very puzzled and difficult. Maybe it’s because people around him all have similar personalities to him, he has never met anyone who is as lively and colorful as Ash. That’s why he might not have what Ash wanted. The question Ash asked him the day before crosses his mind.

‘Then do you like being with me?’

He answered that he didn’t hate it. Was his answer wrong? Karlyle looks back on the moment he has replayed hundred of times in his head. He had a certain intuition, but he couldn’t define it. Karlyle often guessed the other party’s intentions when changing the direction of a contract, but he had never learned how to react when facing an emotional conflict.

Still, if there was a more appropriate answer, he would have said it. A strong feeling of regret rises in him. Once he realizes that he’s feeling regretful, he has to admit that he’s struggling with the divorce more than he thought. And he doesn’t know why.

His fingers on his stomach twitch. The drowsiness that he has forgotten for a while comes back. Only after receiving the diagnosis from Luther that he was pregnant did he agree that the nausea and fatigue started six weeks ago were symptoms of pregnancy. The nausea started from then on has become more severe, now, even eating feels difficult.

The thing in his belly.

It’s a living thing, but it’s hard to call it a child. Both pregnancy and baby feel so foreign to him, so he hasn’t been able to come to terms with them yet. So unreasonable that his body is dragged into this situation. He’ll never be a good father. Especially if he’s the one giving birth.

It feels a little ridiculous that he’s having this thought, as if it’s the proof that he wants the baby. He has to erase it, he will. However, he’s too tired right now. He needs to rest.

Karlyle turns on his heels and walks inside. His place is not at the family house in Mayfair, but a private residence in Hampstead Health. Things would get complicated if he stayed in Mayfair, so he came here. Even if his grandfather may greet this news, it isn’t something he can proudly say to his parents.

Besides, he doesn’t want anyone to know about his physical condition, so he has to be alone. He asked Luther, the family doctor, to keep this a secret until he made his decision. Although Luther’s duty was that he had to report to his family, he agreed to his wish. Perhaps because he had been looking after him since he was a child.
