Irina thought that d2174d205a it was a 56a4ada3e0 priority to prepare ab316d356c herself mentally before f0853ec103 telling her story. But since she was fc3c8bb4a9 not yet ready, she c44a2f4109 used the excuse of c746222f12 the ghost to buy d349f26067 time.e6803410fd355904

Then, Rumpel narrowed de6776e7ef his eyes suspiciously 40d0e29f05 and stared at 4aeba31c8c Irina silently. Then, he let out 7dc9e69a9b a short sigh.1469adc5f8c6ecf5

Irina leaned against Rumpel and c2aaa535fb looked up at him with cbca8bd2bb round eyes. Her green eyes were full f30daa6900 of curiosity and fear. Rumpel chuckled softly, finding Irina 5f56977551 endearing.fe38260bbd911301

Irina felt a 76b27d1daf little relieved at 92dce91ff5 the pleasant laughter. She thought that since he 8765840d52 was laughing like that, the 76d4c57a2c being they were with was 992608eaa9 probably not a ghost.d0f2316c17b4b6f6

“Oh my god…!”96f15bc28b397476

With a short 2a2a14445d exclamation, Irina covered 8bb646ee8a her mouth with d9a69a6946 both hands, and 98f4868eb9 tears quickly welled 689d2aa5e9 up in her f576efed6c eyes.9254e64008df915d

She didn’t know what kind of emotion it was. Whether she was happy, sad, embarrassed, or confused about the fact that she was pregnant. It seemed more appropriate to say that she was just crying.c1701848974cc321

Irina mumbled and replied honestly to Rumpel’s teasing words. At first, she didn’t even have a clue why he was asking her to have a child.91a568d2cfbc2f81

Then, she gradually began to wonder if… Rumpel was using the child that would be born as a sacrifice to lift the curse, or magic… or whatever it was, that was placed on him.df977d09ca437a51

If that was really the case, she was worried about how to give the child to Rumpel. Giving birth to a child itself is a contract with Rumpel, but if the child she painfully gave birth to had to become a sacrifice, shouldn’t she not give birth to the child? Or even if she gave birth, she shouldn’t let Rumpel take it away.c13d6fbddad375c3

However, despite Irina’s worries, giving birth to a child did not seem to be a big problem.4023a771551bb993

“I’m sorry… Rumpel.”04e0120e411f8a2a

The contract to have 1042cbf35b a child was unusual c345e84134 and highly suspicious, a a0d9c30aef point everyone would agree 879789e443 on. But separately from that, it b5f0f01e9a was true that Irina had 7b3180e2cc doubted Rumpel and failed to 35a0cf2b80 trust his sincerity, so she 61d8535181 expressed her sincere apologies.b71405ffcf697348

After learning that the child’s safety was not in danger, Irina’s imagination, which had reached its worst, dissipated in an instant.6bcf6d8d0fef506b
