Chapter 294: Take Things Slow
Like Raine expected, Nathan was no longer beside her when she woke up the next morning. Well, it was already noon really, Which meant that she slept too much again.
"I can’t believe I slept for that long," she murmured as she slowly raised her body to get out of bed. Sitting up, she sighed as she found herself caressing her tummy.
"I’m supposed to get revenge for Father Marcus against that Sasha. But I guess, becoming pregnant like this with you is a sign that I shouldn’t dwell too much on revenge anymore, Aire," Raine mumbled aloud, followed up with a sigh. "This thing will be a nonstop cycle of negativity if I pursued it further."
Sighing to herself, she felt particularly lonely thinking about how she was unable to even see Nathan before he left. "I think my mood’s a sign of my pregnancy kicking in," she reasoned to herself. She felt lonely waking up alone, but she understood Nathan’s crucial role in the situation at this point. She shouldn’t even expect to see her mate every day in the Moon Clan Territory anyway.
It was rather uncomfortable. She knew she wasn’t the clingy type of person, but she could only guess that her pregnancy was the culprit for her current emotional distress. She then heard her stomach grumble, making her chuckle at the slight levity of the situation. "Alright. Let’s grab something to eat first."
Standing up, Raine suddenly felt herself to be in such a good mood that she even hummed on her way out of her room. Walking straight to the kitchen, she smiled as grabbed her brunch from their resident chef, eating heartily at the kitchen counter. Afterward, she then met up with Levi and Mia, who were busy organizing another party, her wedding day tomorrow, at the mansion. From there, there was nothing much for Raine to do other than to observe her men by the sidelines getting busy.
Lazing around, she practically spent her day doing nothing except eating and taking a nap every once in a while.
That all changed when something different happened. She was watching the news when she received a call from Ms. Kiera Chan; the woman who was generous enough to take her twin sister Mara under their wing as her own sister.
Raine bit her lower lip. It had been a while since she last entertained a call from the woman, and that was a long time ago when they requested for her to send a DNA sample to could check if she and Mara were truly related.
