Novel Male 654 Summary


    Gloria was quietly sewing baby clothes in their room, her usual lively demeanor subdued since theirst argument. Ulrik nervously suggested transferring the pack’s management to Tamara, which Gloria agreed with, noting that it was never really her responsibility and that pregnancy made it inconvenient for her to handle. Despite this, she continued sewing as a way to connect with the baby and expressed concern about their financial situation, especially with Rosemary’s ongoing need for nutritional supplements.


    Ulrik appreciated the calm conversation and focused on maintaining peace at home, valuing harmony over career ambitions. Gloria brought up the practical matter of preparing for childbirth, emphasizing its risks and the need to hire a nanny and delivery nurse. She instructed Ulrik to buy special werewolf supplements from the medical center to help withbor, and he agreed to involve Tamara and possibly Vanya in finding caregivers, though Gloria dismissed Vanya’s help due to herck of respect and responsibility.

    From a Third Person Perspective


    Back inside their cozy room, Gloria was diligently sewing tiny baby clothes, her fingers moving with practiced ease over the fabric. Ever since theirst argument, she had noticeably be more reserved, her usual vibrant energy subdued into quiet focus.


    Ulrik felt a flutter of nervousness as he carefully broached the subject of transferring the pack’s management responsibilities to Tamara. His voice was tentative, unsure of how she might react.


    Gloria nced up from her sewing, a teasing edge of mild irritation coloring her tone. “She should be in charge of the pack anyway. It’s not just inconvenient for me to be worrying about it while I’m pregnant, but honestly, it’s never really been my responsibility.”


    Relieved, Ulrik exhaled softly and settled beside her, watching the rhythmic motion of her hands threading the needle. “Sewing can strain your eyes. Don’t overdo it. Let the household staff handle it.”


    Gloria smiled gently, meeting his gaze. “As the baby’s mother, I feel it’s important to make some things myself — it’s a way to connect.” Her voice was soft but firm.


    She continued, “Besides, even though three of us in the pack are earning money now, our expenses are still enormous. Rosemary needs her nutritional supplements all year round to stay healthy, so we have to be careful with our spending.”


    Ulrik wasn’t entirely sure why she shifted the conversation toward finances so suddenly, but as long as she wasn’t upset or trying to start another fight, he was grateful. Peace at home was what he craved most.


    If they could just maintain calm between them, he believed their life would gradually improve. He wasn’t chasing big promotions or grand sesses at the moment — all he wanted was harmony within the family and to keep his current job steady.


    “You’re home early today,” Gloria observed, setting her sewing aside. “There’s something I want to discuss. My belly is getting bigger, so we need to start looking for a nanny and hire the best delivery nurse we can find.”


    She looked at him seriously. “You know childbirth is risky, like crossing a dangerous hurdle. Did you hear about Melinda’s difficultbor?”


    Ulrik nodded, understanding the gravity of whaty ahead. “Yes, I did. So, what’s the n?”


    “We need to go to Digby Medical Center and stock up on nutritional supplements,” Gloria exined. “You can pick them up when you get Rosemary’s medicine.”


    Ulrik listened attentively. “What are those supplements called? I can swing by the medical center after work tomorrow.”


    “They’re special supplements made for werewolves,” she said. “Get about seven or eight of them. They help if thebor pains get too intense or if I start to run out of energy.”


    “Got it,” Ulrik replied firmly. “I’ll take care of that tomorrow. As for the nanny and nurse, I’ll ask Tamara to help find reliable candidates. Maybe Vanya could assist too.”


    “Vanya?” Gloria scoffed, her voice dripping with disdain. “I wouldn’t count on her. She doesn’t lift a finger around the house, and if she could find a decent ce to live on her own, she’d have moved out long ago. She still doesn’t respect you, even after your promotion. I don’t understand where she gets that attitude.”


    Ulrik sighed, feeling helpless. He knew Vanya’s resentment stemmed from the Adide situation — old wounds that hadn’t healed.


    “We can’t entirely me Vanya,” he said gently. “A lot of frustrating things happened before. Now that things are calmer, maybe she’d be willing to help.”


    “No need,” Gloria shot back, her tone edged with anger. “I’d ask anyone else before I’d ask her.”


    Sensing she was on the verge of getting upset again, Ulrik didn’t press further. “Alright, if you don’t want to involve her, I’ll have Tamara handle the search.”


    “I know Tamara’s been working hardtely,” Gloria said, her voice softening. “I’ll make sure to thank her properly after the baby arrives.”


    She stood up, stretching and rubbing her lower back as she shifted the conversation smoothly. “Oh, and about your sry — it’s much better now, especially with the year-end bonus. From now on, I want you to contribute thirty percent of your ie to the family fund. The rest will go to me.”


    Ulrik froze for a moment, then quickly responded, “If Tamara manages the pack, my entire sry should go into the public fund. Father and Simon both put their whole paychecks in, too. That’s always been the family rule.”


    Gloria understood Ulrik’s deep-rooted loyalty to the family, but with a baby on the way, circumstances were different now.


    She exined patiently, “They can put their whole paychecks in if they want. But we need to save money for the baby. We can’t just hand all your money over to Tamara. What if we need cash ourselves and can’t ess it?”


    Ulrik countered thoughtfully, “We can always apply to withdraw money from the family fund for the baby’s expenses.”


    Gloria’s brows knitted in frustration. “Your sry is the highest in the house. Father and Simon’s ies barely add up. Why should we follow that rule and hand everything over? No — we’re doing this my way.”


    Ulrik frowned, trying to find apromise. “Then what do you suggest? We can’t expect Tamara to manage the pack without giving her the funds she needs.”


    “Why wouldn’t we give her money? Thirty percent is more than enough!” Gloria insisted.


    “That’s not sufficient to cover all the expenses,” Ulrik replied. “I’ve already promised Tamara I’d put in the full amount. Maybe we should consider letting some household staff go instead. We don’t need so many extras. That would help reduce costs.”


    Gloria paused, considering his words, the tension in the room thick but under control for now. They both knew there was no easy solution, but the most important thing was to face it together.Conclusion
