Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 2290

"You know, I'm not a fragile little dainty princess. I can go places and do things," Cassarae complained, placing her hands over her belly. "I'm not even showing yet. I can still punch things."

Sylas gave her a look.

She pouted in response. "I take that as a no."

"That's right," Sylas replied, leaning back into his chair and looking up at the skies.

Cassarae rolled her eyes and looked over at the Duchess who hadn't really spoken much since Sylas returned. It was a shame, because Cassarae actually felt like the Duchess was starting to warm up a bit before.

Was she being a bit of a hypocrite now? Maybe.

She was the one that wanted the dividing line between her status and the Duchess', but she still felt bad about how Sylas was treating her.

Well, Sylas had actually been treating her quite well before. The trouble was that Sylas wasn't someone who forgave slights easily. If the Duchess wasn't carrying his child, he probably would have killed her because of how she had lashed out before.

Truthfully, it wasn't the almost killing him part that Sylas was actually angry about. It was because of the implication.

The Duchess harboring that anger meant that all this time she had thought him to be someone who didn't honor his word. And that was simply something Sylas couldn't accept.

Someone who would be the mother of his child not trusting him when he already made it clear to her that he would do what he could for her brother… Cassarae sighed and took a seat. "OLIVIA!"

Rather than receiving a reply, Cassarae got a ping in her messages again.

—

[Olivia: even if you're the City Lady you can't just call me from across the city like this, you know. You'll annoy the citizens] —

Cassarae grinned.

—

[Cassarae: my husband will just smite them.]

[Olivia: are you trying to rub my lack of dick in my face? Fuck you, I'm hanging up.]

[Cassarae: if you're nice I might let you borrow it.]

[Olivia: kick rocks. I'm coming over, but not for dick. I need food. Since you're such a good wife all of a sudden, get in the kitchen.] —

Cassarae chuckled and stood up. "What do you want to eat?" she asked Sylas.

Sylas looked over. "Whatever you make is fine."

Cassarae caressed Sylas' chin a bit. "You know, your parents will be fine. You don't have to hang out around here. This time we'll be ready."

"I'm waiting for something else. I have a feeling it will probably happen soon," Sylas said slowly.

He was actually supposed to be clearing out more territory for Earth right now. But instead, he was here.

"You should talk to her while you're here, then," Cassarae said, darting a gaze over at the Duchess.
