Irina thought that 5d87b653a1 it was a 26088401c1 priority to prepare f03b5343bf herself mentally before f55d89012b telling her story. But since she was 81826a5712 not yet ready, she 8411380f21 used the excuse of 1d23562457 the ghost to buy 650490aad6 time.29fb7fea11f80c2a

Then, Rumpel narrowed his 339ec0b151 eyes suspiciously and stared f6c473c937 at Irina silently. Then, he let out 3f90431c1f a short sigh.4ebd1690fb4d8a1f

Irina leaned against Rumpel and 385df9adba looked up at him with ba51b2c2da round eyes. Her green eyes were full f5bb2fb4c7 of curiosity and fear. Rumpel chuckled softly, finding Irina 2ed15e7427 endearing.42befcc4070819aa

Irina felt a little 3f4646f4a3 relieved at the pleasant 733cf7d3db laughter. She thought that 54912d1ba7 since he was f74abc86e2 laughing like that, afbd8a3218 the being they c68e830dbf were with was 8d173b52a7 probably not a 82b6d84bb4 ghost.32706f236729696b

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.eeff45a3f4c17a39

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.489e7a2a8fe63050

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.ab491c3aa27feae3

However, despite Irina’s worries, giving birth to a child did not seem to be a big problem.3a403dd96afc7c09
