Chapter 1013: Bedroom talk
The meeting ended without a resolution in the end.
Neither side was willing to back down, so there was nothing to resolve.
Unless they were willing to take a step back and come to a compromise, it wasn’t as if they would be able to solve this matter.
So all that happened was that everyone was dismissed with a worried heart.
All that they were told was that there would be another meeting held tomorrow, so they would have to come back and see the conclusion then. But that meant that everyone would have a hard time sleeping tonight since they wouldn’t be able to calm their hearts.
I was even affected by this, but it was in a different way.
Normally, that brother in law of mine would agree to most of the things that I proposed.
But this time, it seemed like he wouldn’t budge at all.
It was as if he had suddenly changed how he acted around me, which confused me, but mainly it annoyed me since he became like a mother. He was like a mother with the way that he nagged me to drop this matter.
I really didn’t understand why he had changed like this.
Since I was still annoyed when I came back to our bedroom, my wives could naturally see how I was feeling. There really was no way for me to hide my feelings from them, they could see through me with a single look.
The one that came forward to talk to me was Angela.
“I heard what happened at the meeting today.” She said in a calm voice.
But hearing what she said, I couldn’t help revealing an annoyed look as I remembered what happened earlier.
Though I was annoyed, that didn’t mean that I took it out on Angela since I knew that it wasn’t her fault.
With a sigh, I said, “I just don’t understand why he’s suddenly changed like that. The way that he used to be, he was even bolder than me and he used me as a tool in his plans many times. I don’t understand why he’s suddenly so conservative.”
There was a wry smile that appeared on Angela’s face when she heard this before she said, “Well, it just means that he’s worried about you. It’s not a bad thing that he’s worried about you.”
I didn’t say anything at first, but then I suddenly shook my head and said with a sigh, “It’s just that it feels that he doesn’t trust me anymore. It’s almost as if we’ve lost the bond that we’ve had before.”
That was the thing that really annoyed me the most about this entire situation.
I wouldn’t have minded if the prime minister was against this if he clearly stated what he was worried about, but he just kept rejecting my idea without giving me a reason. It was as if he was personally coming after me with the way that he kept rejecting the idea.
That was what hurt me the most.
That was why I felt that he had completely changed.
Angela was silent for a bit before she revealed an awkward look.
I was surprised to see this, but I didn’t say anything as I waited for her to speak.
“It’s actually my fault.” She said in an awkward voice.
“Huh?” I was very confused by why she would say something like this, but then I said, “No, it’s not your fault. How could it be your fault?”
Angela just shook her head with the same awkward smile that had now become a bit wry before saying, “It’s because there’s something that I’ve been keeping from you?”
A surprised look appeared on my face first, but then I immediately revealed a serious look and narrowed my eyes to look at her.
I knew that she wouldn’t say something like this lightly, so it seemed that something had really happened.
But I couldn’t think of what she could be hiding from me.
After a long silence, Angela said with a sigh, “It’s just that he’s keeping a secret for me that I haven’t been able to find the time to talk to you about.”
I was even more confused, but I still waited for her to explain.
With another sigh, Angela said, “It’s because I’m pregnant.”
I just looked at her in shock after hearing this, it was as if I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
After all, I certainly wasn’t prepared to hear this.
We had been doing our business in bed during this time, but I never thought that she would become pregnant all of a sudden.
After making this confession, Angela said, “My brother knew and that’s why he was worried. He was worried that with the child on the way, it would be bad if you were in danger and the child was left without a father. That’s why he’s been acting this way.”
All of the confusion that I felt was dispelled when I heard this and I finally understood why the prime minister…No, I finally understood why Noah had been acting that way.
But that still didn’t mean that he had to act that way…
No, I knew what kind of person he was.
He was someone that cared about his family and the people of the kingdom, which made him different from the other princes. He was someone that had even been willing to be executed as a traitor just to save this kingdom, so what he was doing now was just a small matter.
Shaking my head, I said with a sigh, “I guess I didn’t think about his feelings.”
But then I looked at Angela with a look of blame as I said, “Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”
Angela had a bitter smile while saying, “It’s just that you’ve all been so busy lately and I just found out, so I didn’t have the time to talk to you about it.” Then with a sigh, she said, “My brother only found out because the royal doctor reported to him. It seemed that he had already given the royal doctor the order to report to him if anything happened to me. He really is going too far…”
I shook my head with a bitter smile, but I could definitely see this happening since I knew what kind of personality he had.
It seemed that we still had something else to discuss tomorrow.
