Chapter 550: Reiner – Breaking the Big News
“Fine. I’ll let you continue working. In exchange, you’ll let me work with you here at home,” Reiner proposed.
“...Huh?” I gasped in surprise.
“I’ll move here to work with you until you give birth,” Reiner declared proudly.
It was clear that Reiner thought that his idea was the best solution for both of us. I didn’t mind working with Reiner around because the first part of my career was spent working together with him and by his side. At that point, I was willing to do so much more just to keep my job and responsibilities.
“Deal. Thank you for compromising with me,” I thanked him wholeheartedly.

Having Reiner with me at home made my pregnancy a lot easier on my emotions. Life suddenly became less stressful and everything that I was required to do became easier with his encouragement and his company. Looking back, one of the hardest things during my first pregnancy journey wasn’t the pregnancy itself but dealing with my in-laws.
After we got official confirmation from the doctor at the hospital that I was indeed pregnant with Reiner’s child, we were so happy as a couple. The best part was when we celebrated alone and privately. Things started to change when we were forced to deal with the reality that we had to break the news to his parents. At that time, we didn’t know the gender of the baby. Regardless, I thought that King would be thrilled about the good news.
“When should we tell your parents?” I asked.
