Chapter 57: Tell Him


    I woke up early in the morning, the first rays of sunlight gently filtering through the curtains. Feeling


    a sense of determination in my heart, I decided to kick-start my day with a refreshing shower. As I


    made my way to the bathroom, I couldn''t help but notice that Lady Linda and Joday were nowhere


    to be seen in the maid''s quarter. It seemed they had already left, most likely to start their day''s work.


    In my haste to get ready for the day ahead, I quickened my steps, eager to get things done


    efficiently. Amidst the flurry of my morning routine, I noticed the pregnancy test that Joday had


    bought the night before, left undisturbed on the bathroom shelf. I promised myself to check itter


    when I had a moment to spare. However, workmitments beckoned, so I put the thought aside


    for the time being.


    Today, I had decided to have a heart-to-heart conversation with Kiro. The weight of my thoughts and


    emotions about the potential pregnancy had been building up, and I felt the need to share them with


    someone, especially with the father.


    As I walked out, I was surprised to find Miss Linda waiting for me. She guided me to the table,


    where a meal of rice, fried eggs, and hotdogs was prepared. Confused, I looked at her with


    questioning eyes.


    "Eat that first, Lyka. Joday and I prepared that for you," she said as she went back to the kitchen


    and returned with a cup of milk.


    I hesitated for a moment, unsure of why Miss Linda was insisting on me eating. I wanted to politely


    decline, mentioning it was too early for breakfast and that I didn''t feel hungry yet. However, Miss


    Linda gently halted my words and opened up about her intuition that I might be pregnant. She


    earnestly encouraged me to nourish myself and take good care.


    Feeling a little bashful, I started nibbling on the meal she had prepared, while Miss Linda carried on


    with her tasks. It felt a bit odd to be treated with such special attention, considering I was also just a


    maid in the mansion. But her genuine concern touched my heart, and I felt grateful for her kindness


    and thoughtfulness.


    As I quietly ate my meal, my eyes caught sight of Joday emerging from the kitchen with a


    rectangr container, the aroma of Kiro''s favorite food wafting in the air. My heart skipped a beat, aContent ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    sudden jolt of anxiety reminding me of my n to talk to Kiroter that day. But before I could


    address that conversation, I knew I had to prioritize taking care of myself and unraveling the truth


    about my potential pregnancy.


    I thought Joday was heading to Kiro''s room, but to my surprise, she remained seated in front of me,


    gently cing the tray on the table.


    "Let''s eat, Joday," I invited her to join me.


    However, she declined immediately, shaking her head, and asked, "Lyka, after you finish eating, are


    you going to deliver this food to Kiro?" Her question caught me off guard.


    That''s right, I had made up my mindst night to talk to Kiro, to listen to his exnations, even


    though he had already tried to exin things to me before.


    I smiled at Joday and nodded in response, "Yes, Joday, I am."


    She grinned and jokingly y-pped my arm, "Gosh, I thought you’re not going to tell him about


    the baby! That would''ve been something!" I let out a sigh, amused by her remark, and resumed


    eating my meal.


    Joday continued, "You know, every time I bring food to his room, he always asks, ''Where is Lyka?'',


    ''Is Lyka okay?'' It''s annoying to listen to! It''s as if he''spelled to see my face when I deliver his


    food!" Herints about Kiro made meugh.


    She shared more amusing anecdotes about him, making it feel like it had been years since Kiro and


    I were apart, even though it definitely hadn''t been that long.


    "Eh, Lyka? Have you taken the pregnancy test yet?" Joday''s questions were relentless, and I was


    overwhelmed, so I hurriedly shoveled food into my mouth, hoping to divert her attention by eating.


    "W-what?" I stammered, caught off guard by the persistence of her inquiry, I almost choked. Joday


    handed me a ss of water, and I gulped it down hastily.


    "S-slow down with your questions, Joday," I promised, "I''ll answer your question, just give me a


    moment."


    "Not yet," I finally replied.


    But before I could say anything else, Joday seemed exasperated, "What? Why? You still don''t know


    how to use it? It''s a simple test, Lyka! Oh gosh, Lyka, I''ll just go with you to the bathroom!"


    She stood up, ready to escort me, and I felt my heart race with a mix of embarrassment and panic.


    "It''ll beter, Joday. It''s past nine in the morning. I need to deliver this to Kiro," I informed her, taking


    the food tray meant for him.


    She nodded understandingly, promising to take care of whatever I had eaten.


    Just like before, I made my way through the darkest corners of the mansion to reach his room. I


    knocked three times, and as I was about to knock for the third time, the door swung open


    unexpectedly, revealing Kiro standing before me. I was taken aback by the sudden opening of the


    door and his presence.


    "Joday, I told you to just knock once because I remember Lyka— Lyka? Wait, Lyka? Are you here


    for me? Is it true?" he asked, his voice filled with astonishment.


    But instead of answering, I stood there, my cheeks flushed with embarrassment, I struggled to


    maintain myposure. The sight of Kiro with no shirt on, d only in a towel wrapped around his


    waist, sent a rush of warmth to my face. I averted my gaze, feeling my heart pounding in my chest,


    unsure of how to handle the sudden surge of emotions that washed over me.


    "Y-you''re here in front of me?" Kiro''s question hung in the air, unanswered.


    Instead, I quickly turned my back to him and said, "Let''s talk, but g-get dressed first," my voice


    shaking slightly with nervousness.


    Thankfully, he seemed to realize his state of undress and quickly smiled, trying to ease the


    awkwardness of the moment. Taking my hand gently, he agreed to get dressed before continuing


    our conversation.


    I felt my heart race as I led the way into his room, unsure of what to do in this unexpected and


    slightly ufortable situation.


    As he followed me, my mind raced with a flurry of thoughts. I wondered how I would bring up the


    topic of the pregnancy test, and what his reaction might be. The mixture of emotions inside me


    made it difficult to find the right words, but I knew I had to face this conversation head-on.


    Trying to collect my thoughts and steady my nerves, I took a deep breath. This was a moment that


    could change the course of both our lives. Whatever the oue, I will love the child.
