Lately I’ve been feeling like I’m on a swing. As I sagged from the feeling of rising and falling, Ian quickly noticed and gently wrapped my hand. He held it tightly while sweeping it all over like giving a massage.
“Shh, you can just relax.”
He must have sensed my pheromones, even when I didn’t say anything. But he shared his pheromones as well, soothing me as if he knew everything.
It’s said that the best thing for a pregnant omega was the pheromones of the alpha, who was the father of her child.
So the reason he came back here every day when he was busy was to give me pheromones. It seems like he’s also trying to check on my condition.
He naturally released the pheromones that had been blocked in front of me. It felt as if his pheromones were spreading on top of my pheromones, which were gently emanating from me.
Softly and sweetly, his pheromones enveloped me.
I took a deep breath to take Ian’s pheromones, which seemed addictive, deep into my lungs. Once, twice, three times. The more I drank, the more my tense body relaxed and he wrapped his arms around my shoulders and said,
“That’s right, take it in deeper.”
Was this really the Ian von Bryant I knew? He wasn’t being cold and stoic, so it was confusing at times.
But an alpha’s words were absolute. Instead of asking the question, I did as he told me and took another deep breath.
My loose body naturally leaned against his chest. I quietly closed my eyes to the steady beat of his heart.
An ordinary and precious day passed as usual.

“Young Lord, here are the documents you requested.”
“Yes.”
After Ian finished looking at the documents he was looking at, he opened the document his aide gave him. After carefully examining the documents, he asked his aide.
“Does this mean there are no more merchants doing business with the Rosewood family?”
“Yes, within the capital.”
It was safe to say that the capital, which was the center of the empire, was practically the merchant hub of the entire empire. This was because most of the head offices of the merchants were located in the capital.
It took a full three months to isolate the Rosewood family. If they had simply apologized, he would have at least reduced their suffering.
Ian sneered, remembering the current Count who had come and criticized him with a red face.
It seems that Monica didn’t tell the truth about her mistakes after all. Alex as well. That’s why the Count was able to come and criticize Ian so shamelessly.
Ian’s eyes became cold. They dared to look down on his family by using an inducer so as the head of the family, Ian wanted to make him pay the full price.
The relationship with the previous Count seemed to end here.
He didn’t know if they had officially exchanged words, but the Count felt uneasy because they suddenly became separated from the family they had discussed marriage with.
“They say you can’t understand a person’s heart.”
As Ian muttered this under his breath, the aide who heard this added his own words.
“But we cannot easily let go of those who have crossed the line. How dare a County look down on the Duchy?”
As the aide knew everything that Monica and Alex did, he too was furious. For the aide, anyone who looked down on the family he had devoted his life to since his youth was like an enemy to him.
“You are right. They shouldn’t cross the line carelessly.”
“Yes. I hope the Young Lord will hold the title succession ceremony soon.”
Although it was no different from receiving recognition by receiving the seal from his father, he could only become a true duke by holding a widely publicized succession ceremony.
Of course, the most important thing was that Melissa had to give birth to an alpha safely.
“We should get ready soon.”
“I hope you do it as soon as possible.”
Ian smiled quietly at his aide that was showing a rare appearance of being excited. And he naturally waved the silver bell and called Henry.
“Did you call me, Young Lord?”
“What’s Mel doing?”
Recently, reporting on Melissa’s daily life has become Henry’s new job. Henry relayed what he had just received from the maid.
“She hasn’t been able to get out of bed since morning.”
“Hmm.”
Ian was worried because she usually went out to the balcony and looked at the garden. As he watched her, looking at the green rose he had gifted her with those glistening eyes, he felt a strange tingling in one side of his chest.
Henry hesitated for a moment and then reported to Ian.
“It looks like she’s starting to get morning sickness.”
As soon as Henry finished speaking, Ian jumped up from his seat.

Ian hurriedly headed to the annex where Melissa was staying. When he couldn’t see the woman who would normally be watching from the balcony, he felt a strange sense of regret.
He remembered her, who always greeted him, when she saw him. It was nothing special, but when she said, ‘Thank you for your hard work today,’ he felt secure.
Because he was in a hurry to leave the office, he almost ran up to the second floor without even putting on a jacket. As he burst open the door and entered, a small face came out from between the blankets.
“…Oh? Why did you come so early?”
They said she barely ate anything all day, and it showed right away on her face. He approached, unable to take his eyes off her sunken face, releasing his pheromones.
Was it an illusion that Melissa’s complexion seemed to brighten a little the moment his pheromones touched her?
Sitting on the bed, he quickly found her hand and held it. And as if inspecting her, he put the tip of his nose to the nape of her neck and smelled her pheromones.
The pheromones, which were once very fragile, became stronger after she had conceived. Of course, nothing could compare to his pheromones.
After confirming that the pheromones were flowing steadily, Ian raised his head and met her eyes. The purple eyes wavered slightly and then fixed on him.
He loved this moment, so he deliberately brought his face closer and made eye contact. Although she was embarrassed, he was satisfied that she did not avoid his gaze.
“I heard you had morning sickness.”
Ian, who gave a long-delayed answer to her question, naturally lay down next to her. Melissa was unfamiliar with him wearing only a shirt, so she glanced at him and placed her head on his outstretched arm.
She knew that alpha pheromones were good for pregnant omegas, but she didn’t expect that it would become such a panacea.
The feeling of nausea that had been felt from the moment she opened her eyes disappeared as if it had been washed away when she smelled Ian’s pheromone. She was so taken aback by her first morning sickness that she couldn’t do anything. So how on earth did he know about it and come visit her?
“How did you know?”
Ian answered softly while looking into her widened purple eyes.
“Don’t you know who is attracting the most attention in the mansion right now?”
“…….”
“It’s natural for it to reach my ears.”
“…I asked the obvious.”
