Inheriting a Lost Bloodline, My First Task is to have heirs?!-Chapter 361 - Last step to make it official (Part 14)

I looked at him with a very serious countenance and did not speak for almost a minute. As the seconds ticked by, his face progressively looked even more pale due to a mix of nervousness and fear that there must be something wrong with him.

I am not trying to scare him on purpose. I was just trying to think of a way not to mention my first husband in the situation since I do not know if I will get another scolding just for mentioning him in this situation. I have had so many similar experiences that I could not help but be more thoughtful and cautious about what I say. No matter how multiple husband households are common in this world, it doesn’t change the fact that men will always be jealous with other men in their wife’s life.

I gestured for him to walk towards me and he did so cautiously. Being a shadow guard for so long, his steps did not make a sound at all even if his whole body was dripping wet from being under the shower just a while ago. Once he was only a few steps away from me, I walked forward and gave him another tight embrace.

He weakly placed his face on my shoulder as I felt his body weight lean on me. I reached for a towel from the rack inside the bathroom and covered him with it. Before answering his question, I asked his current condition instead. I asked, "Do you still feel that uncomfortable heat or are you in pain in any way right now?"

He did not speak but I felt his head shake while still leaning on my shoulder. His answer has calmed me down a bit since I know how much high resonance can mess up with a man’s thoughts and body functions.

Since I have confirmed that he feels way better than he was earlier, I answered his question as honestly as I can without mentioning my first husband’s name. It is better to be cautious than getting a headache while trying to resolve some troubles later. I replied, "It is the effects of high resonance and you are not sick. That is for sure. Sometimes, a body can be so overwhelmed with the resonance that it starts to feel effects similar to being affected by high dose aphrodisiacs while being drunk at the same time. It is a weird combination to have, if you understand what I mean."

He lifted his head slowly from my shoulder and looked at me in the face seriously. I then saw his signature smirk which means he is either thinking of a prank or he realized something. I have an inkling that it is the latter though.

He used a soft and low voice as he asked, "It seems that you are quite familiar about my symptoms. This is not the first time you have encountered it, am I right? Can you tell me who that man is?"

I immediately realized that this question was a trap as I started thinking how to answer it as nonchalant as possible. I was about to open my mouth to speak when he cut me off by saying, "Don’t you dare tell me shit that a friend told you about it or you read it in some old book in some hidden corner in the library. Those lies won’t cut it. Just give me a name so this issue is done."

I looked at Yren pretending to be surprised at first as he kept his face blank while looking at me. I eventually gave him a smirk of my own. I totally forgot that this guy gathers information, investigates people and knows clearly how to tell a truth from a lie just through nonverbal cues. I could trick the other four with a bit of drama and an exaggerated side story but not this one in front of me.

He just stared at me, obviously trying to make me feel uncomfortable until I spill the beans. I eventually ended up laughing at his attempt on silently intimidating me. I still answered honestly just to make him feel he won this round by saying, "It was Ioannis. Our first night together happened because of the same effects as you had with high resonance. Though, I can say I also liked him so I guess I benefitted from it a lot."

He had that smirk on his face again which was telling me outright that he would be asking more questions about the current issue. This damn liar. He even said the issue would be over once I answered his question. I knew this would happen whether I answer truthfully or not.

He looked at me in amusement and then with a deliberately slow speaking speed he asked, "You are telling me that you went on it with him when his symptoms appeared so why did you just bathe me in cold water to wake me up instead of doing that as well? I guess you don’t like me as much as you liked him. You are breaking my heart, my wife."

I scoffed at his comment and answered sarcastically, "Are you saying that the measure of me liking someone would be taking someone by force even if you they are not in your right mind so the man won’t be able to do anything since everything has already been said and done. Just to complete the story, I doused him in cold water too to get him to think properly again. Then I asked for his permission properly afterward before proceeding with it. I never thought that you would be the type that liked doing it that way."

His eyes that were calculating and accusatory a while ago, slowly widened in surprise. His face turned red quickly as he shook his head vehemently to deny what I just said. He tried to explain himself though I do not if it made things clearer or worse for him.

With a loud and frantic voice he explained, "No! That was not what I meant. I mean- It is just that- I appreciate you respecting my choice in the matter. I thought- I am sorry for thinking of you that way. I was just-"

I raised my hand in front of his face and he immediately stopped talking. I smirked at him with mischief in my eyes. He made a few steps back to put more distance between us. I do not know if that much distance would save him from me though.

I did not say anything and simply went out of the bathroom, leaving the stunned Yren behind. He seemed to have been shaken by my sudden departure that he immediately ran after me and grabbed my wrist. He asked me where I was going with an obviously panicked voice.

Without giving him an answer, I removed the barrier I casted on myself that restrains my soul’s resonance power as well as my scent. Yren’s grasp on my wrist slowly loosened as he fell on his knees heaving. He hugged his own body as he stared at me in surprise and confusion.

I bent over to where he was kneeling on the floor and then lifted him up on my shoulder like a sack. His body shuddered when his body came in contact to mine. He was too weak to even squirm away from me or free himself from the embarrassing position he is in as of the moment.

In between gasps of air, he questioned me in a hoarse voice, "What did you do? Why did the symptoms come back all of a sudden?" I chuckled at him and answered with a slap on his butt, Instead of complaining, he involuntarily uttered a loud moan of pleasure instead. I chuckled even louder as he started to punch my back due to frustration.

I slowly walked back inside the room with him on my shoulder as I made my way to his bed. I yanked the towel that I used to cover him earlier off of him, leaving him totally naked. He screamed at my sudden move but before he could complain, I threw him in a joking manner on the bed. He even bounced a bit from the impact.

He tried to get up from the bed and kick his legs away from me but before he could start to make his move, I grabbed on to his ankles and pulled him back in front of me. While doing so, I used an authoritative tone to order him not to move. I felt his body shudder as the palms of my hand touched his skin and his body automatically followed my order. Damn, his body is exuding that sweet scent that makes me want to gobble him up.

He could only lay helplessly on the bed as he stared at me with eyes that are starting to turn misty due to the lust slowly overrunning his sane thoughts. Once I got him where I wanted him to be, I let his ankles go and started removing my clothes one by one. His eyes were following my every move, fueling his lustful thoughts even further.
