11:42 PM.

Just as Antonio was about to go to bed, the front door burst open and Edgar appeared.

“You didn’t need to come all the way here just to tell me you made up.”

I naturally expected him to be grinning from ear to ear after clearing up the misunderstanding with Lilliana, but that wasn’t the case.

Edgar had a dark expression as if the sky had fallen.

“What is it? What happened?”

Edgar didn’t even answer Antonio’s question and went straight to the kitchen to find and drink cold water as soon as he came in.

Normally, cold water in his stomach should have made him feel somewhat better, but he still felt terrible.

“Didn’t it go well?”

He didn’t even have the energy to answer, so he tightly hugged his friend who had come closer and leaned his weight on him.

Normally he would have pushed him away asking why he was being so disgusting, but when Edgar’s body trembled finely, Antonio sighed and patted him comfortingly.

Soon after, he heard groaning sounds in his ear.

“I’m definitely destined to be dragged around by Lilliana for the rest of my life. Should I go meet Andrea? No, it wouldn’t be bad to ask my eldest sister-in-law for help either. I should beg for help even if I get beaten to a pulp.”

“Should I go meet Liliana?”

“That’s not it. It’s more serious.”

Gulp. Antonio swallowed his dry saliva and Edgar sat down on the floor and spilled everything as if about to cry.

“There are two pieces of news.”

“Good or bad?”

“Both.”

“Tell me the good news first.”

“Alright. Lilliana is pregnant.”

“What?!”

Antonio, who had unconsciously screamed, clutched his fluttering chest and asked again.

Despite being an actor who prided himself on precise pronunciation, he couldn’t speak properly.

“I went to the doctor and got it confirmed.”

Antonio, whose mind was blank and paused for a moment, suddenly let out an exclamation close to a scream.

“Congratulations! Putting aside work and everything else, this is definitely something to celebrate! Is Liliana happy? How far along is she? What about you? Aren’t you happy?”

“I’m happy. Of course I’m happy. The only day I’ve been as happy as today was when I first started dating Lilliana.”

For someone who had become a father, a faint but clear joy appeared on his stiffly hardened face.

He didn’t know the gender, and it had been less than 12 hours since he realized the existence itself, but he had already finished preparing to love his child.

It was none other than his and Lilliana’s child.

The fruit of love had been born between them.

There was no more certain proof than this between lovers.

But when Edgar rubbed his face once, the joy as if he had gained the world was erased as simply as it was futile.

“Th-then what’s the bad news?”

“She says if we start preparing for the wedding now, it’ll look like we’re getting married because she’s pregnant, so she wants to postpone the wedding.”

But I want to have the ceremony quickly.

* * *

I don’t dislike the child.

I was a little surprised, but I was more pleased than that.

I was planning to marry Edgar anyway and wanted to have children soon.

Besides, I was thinking of taking a break for a while, so the timing was quite good.

That said, this situation wasn’t entirely welcome.

‘How am I going to tell my older brother and sisters?’

When I thought about revealing the pregnancy to my family, my vision went dark.

The child was definitely a blessing, but I was upset that it would probably shock everyone.

It would be fortunate if they didn’t faint from their precious youngest causing trouble before marriage.

“They’ll be very disappointed in me.”

Ding dong. Ding dong. Ding dong.

The bell kept ringing at the front door. It was Antonio.

“Liliana. Please open the door.”

“Did Edgar send you?”

“Oh come on. Just open the door. I’m not here as Edgar’s friend right now, but as your family.”

“Betrayal must be repaid with death?”

“Sorry. Edgar is behind me. But please open it. I woke up at dawn to buy only the freshest ingredients for you to eat.”

Having no choice, I opened the door and Antonio quickly carried in a large box.

Edgar came in hiding behind Antonio, carrying an even larger box.

As soon as he entered, he kept glancing at me and examining my face first.

“Did you eat breakfast?”

“I did.”

“You’re not feeling nauseous?”

“I was fine this morning.”

“That’s a relief. Just in case, I bought all types of meat. I heard that depending on morning sickness, there are things you can and can’t eat.”

“You didn’t ask Liliana about it, did you?”

“No. If you’re worried about telling the adults, I’ll tell them myself. If anyone gets scolded, it should be me, and if anyone gets hit, it should be me.”

“Is my older brother the type to hit people?”

“Nah. Andrea wouldn’t do that. The problem is your sisters.”

“Ah.”

Antonio’s judgment was correct.

My eldest sister restrains herself in most situations since she’s an expert in that field, but Liliana and my youngest sister are different.

‘My youngest sister is the biggest worry.’

Since she has such a strong personality, she might grab Edgar by the collar and half-kill him even though she’s known him since childhood.

“I’m prepared.”

Edgar said resolutely.

However, there was no need to be resolute about this problem.

He should kneel down and properly brief them on how he plans to live from now on.

Everyone might not trust me, but they trusted Edgar completely, and that ends here too.

“I don’t know. I’ll think about that later.”

“Right, think about that later. Sniff!”

Antonio, who had already thrown the boxes in the kitchen and come back, approached with reddened eyes.

“Liliana. Congratulations so much. Really congratulations. To think I’m becoming an uncle… this is the first time I’ve felt like this.”

“We’ve decided on you as the godfather. You’ll do it, right?”

“Of course! Who else would do it if not me! Oh, right. This is a nutritional supplement. Edgar bought it, but just think of it as me giving it to you.”

While Edgar was organizing boxes in the kitchen, Antonio sat next to me and slyly asked.

“Why do you want to postpone the wedding? If we prepare hastily, it would be possible before you show.”

“I don’t want to hurriedly prepare and have the ceremony.”

“It might be harder to prepare after the child is born. But is there anything you want to eat? Morning sickness?”

“I’m not sure yet. I guess all my mood swings lately were because of the pregnancy.”

The dry heaving that started the moment I received the proposal yesterday continued until I checked the crackers I had eaten in the morning.

Edgar, who noticed that my condition was strange, immediately carried me on his back and ran to the hospital.

“You’re pregnant.”

I thought it might be stress-related, but got a completely unexpected answer.

I counted the date of my last period, and Edgar checked several times before hugging me and whispering thank you for a long time.

On the way back carrying a bag full of nutritional supplements prescribed by the doctor, Edgar kept chattering excitedly.

It was the second brightest face I’d ever seen him make. For reference, the first was when we first decided to date.

“Are you happy?”

“Good, then. …Liliana. You don’t like it?”

“I like it too. I’m just still dazed.”

I like it, but it doesn’t feel real yet, and I’m dying of anxiety because I don’t know what to say to my sisters and Protagonist’s Older Brother.

Of course, if I discuss this part with him, Edgar would immediately go home and get beaten by the adults while solving it himself.

“The remodeling work on the house I bought last time is almost finished. You can give birth to the child there.”

“I think it would be better to move into Protagonist’s Older Brother’s house.”

“Living with Andrea wouldn’t be bad either. You can rely on him.”

“…Aren’t you going to propose? Are you trying to skip over it like this?”

At my subtly sharp voice, Edgar stopped walking.

“I don’t want to get married hastily just because you’re pregnant. If difficult things happen during married life, we might end up blaming the child. Our child isn’t someone who should have to clean up after us. So don’t rush and follow the proper procedures first. If there’s no time, it’s fine to get married after giving birth too.”

I drew a firm line with a resolute attitude. Edgar’s eyes shook violently.

“Edgar. I’m saying this because I love you and the child.”

If we have a rushed wedding, to other people the child might seem like an excuse for marriage.

It would be similar if we married after giving birth, but if we take time to prepare carefully, there would at least be stability.

Actually, when I confirmed the pregnancy, I thought Edgar would propose first.

Because that’s the right thing to do before worrying about practical matters.

But Edgar must have seen reality first in his thoughts of becoming a father.

I was somewhat disappointed. I wished he had thought of me more than the child.

“I’m tired. I want to go home.”

“Wait a moment Liliana, wait—”

The flustered Edgar grabbed the hem of my clothes, but I pushed his hand away and headed home.

Realizing my mood wasn’t good, Edgar only watched my reactions the entire time he walked me to the front of my house.

Antonio, who heard my story, said:

“You’re right though. Our parents got married because I was conceived and divorced quickly. But you two were planning to get married soon anyway, right? Still, I do feel a bit sorry for Edgar.”

I answered Antonio’s question.

“Whose side are you on right now?”

When I became serious, Antonio’s shoulders froze.

You’d better watch your words from now on. Otherwise, Oliver sleeping in my right hand will show you lots of love.
