"As long as Nancy Grover is breathing, I won't have a happy day in my life."
Andres realized they were on completely different wavelengths.
"Leave the Grovers to me. Your only job right now is to deliver these babies safely."
Maeve didn't respond to that.
A few minutes later, she murmured:
"I am happy, actually. Finally getting pregnant means The Binding will be broken soon."
Her hands instinctively rested on her flat stomach.
"I thought the timing was terrible at first, but now that I think about it, there's no better time."
Remembering the two dreams she had of a little boy and a little girl, Maeve couldn't shake the feeling that she had a karmic connection with these children from a past life.
If she hadn't brought it up, Andres would have completely forgotten about The Binding.
Master Moreno had said that a child was the most effective way to break the curse.
For a long time, their relentless efforts to conceive had been solely for the sake of an amicable divorce.
But now? Andres didn't just want the babies; he wanted their mother.
His arm tightened instinctively around her shoulders, his tone turning absolute.
"We are family, no matter what happens. And a family stays together, forever."
Maeve really was on a different channel.
"You're sleeping in the study tonight."
Andres sighed. "Why do I have to sleep in the study again?"
Maeve answered with total conviction.
"I want to see if sleeping in separate beds while pregnant changes the forced teleportation."
Andres thought she was overthinking it.
"You're five and a half weeks along. We've slept apart multiple times during that window, and you still ended up in my bed. The Binding is clearly still active."
Thinking back, he was right.
Maeve looked visibly disappointed.
Manipulating people's lives on a whim was unforgivable.
"By normal, I mean if you ever want to cheat on me, you wouldn't have to worry about waking up magically teleported into my bed."
Andres frowned. "I would never cheat on you."
Maeve rolled her eyes. "I said it's a hypothetical."
Andres stated flatly, "That hypothetical will never exist."
"Fine, let's switch it up. Hypothetically, what if I'm the one who wants to cheat..."
Andres pinched her chin.
"If you dare stray, I will chop that bastard into pieces right in front of your eyes and feed him to Lucifer."
"Then, I'll have a custom gold chain forged just for you, and lock you up in this house for the rest of your life."
Maeve was struck utterly speechless.
"It's getting late. Go wash up and go to sleep."
If they kept talking, she couldn't guarantee she wouldn't pass out from sheer exasperation at this fiercely unreasonable man.
