The Mind-Reading Mate Why Is the Lycan King So Obsessed With Me novel Chapter 76

Chapter 76: The Second Wedding Kiss

By the time Edmund had grown old, Primrose might already be gone.

She had heard stories that lycans could live for three hundred years, some even longer.

Meanwhile, humans like her rarely made it past eighty.

If someone strong enough to defeat Edmund came when he was centuries old, she wouldn’t even be there to witness it. She’d already be resting in peace.

But still ... what if that moment came much sooner?

What if someone tried to take his throne while she was still alive?

What if she had to watch him fall?

As if he could sense exactly what was on her mind, Edmund spoke again, "Besides ... I’ve saved a lot of money in other places," he said. "If something bad ever happens, we can leave this kingdom and still live a good life for as long as you live."

[I’ll never let my wife suffer.]

[I’ve worked hard to collect enough wealth so she’ll always be safe, always comfortable ... even if we have to leave the palace behind one day. She’ll still be able to wear nice clothes, eat well, and live without worry.]

They had only been married for a few weeks, but he had already thought this far ahead for her well-being?

Primrose blinked, quietly moved.

"But," she said a little louder, "isn’t the rule for taking the throne ... you have to kill the last king?"

"That’s true," Edmund said without hesitation. "But it’s not that hard to fake my death."

[It’s not like I’m a coward or afraid to die. But if I’m gone, how is she supposed to survive on her own?]

[This world is cruel. People are cruel. I don’t even want to imagine what they’d do to her if she were left alone.]

Primrose opened her mouth to speak, but before she could, Edmund stepped closer and looked right into her eyes.

"But even with all that," he said seriously, his icy blue eyes locking with hers, "I still want to have a baby."

Well, even if Edmund didn’t plan to force his children to carry on his lineage, people would still respect her more if she gave birth to his children, right?

Primrose lowered her gaze and murmured softly, "I want a baby too."

Aside from earning respect among the beasts, deep down, Primrose truly wanted to have children on her own.

"Maybe two," she added shyly. "So they won’t feel lonely."

Edmund lifted his hand, reaching for her cheek. Before he could pull it back, Primrose gently took his hand and placed it against her own face.

"Husband," she said softly, letting him stroke her cheek with his thumb, "you don’t have to hesitate when you want to touch me. If I don’t like something, I’ll tell you."

Edmund froze for a second, swallowing hard. "Really?"

Primrose nodded. "Really."

"Can ... can I touch your hair whenever I want?" he asked, almost sheepishly.

"As long as you don’t mess up my hairstyle, I don’t mind," she replied, a small smile tugging at her lips.

His other hand came up slowly, his fingers threading through her soft crimson strands.
