Oh No! They're Salivating Over Me! novel Chapter 3

Right at that moment, the system notification went off in Daphne's head once again.

"Congratulations on your pregnancy, Daphne. It's been detected that the father's psionic strength is Rank SSS, and he has a 10% chance of fathering a child. The harder it is to have a child, the higher the points you will be rewarded. Please protect your child well! "

What a great time to tell her that. Daphne was clenching her jaw so tight that her teeth were about to break.

"No, I don't agree," said Daphne.

"What?" Lester walked up to her and said, "Please say it again."

He was very intimidating. Daphne swallowed her saliva and said firmly, "I said I want to keep this child. Since God made them my child, I'm going to protect them."

Both of them locked eyes with each other, not fearing one another.

"Do you know who's the father?"

Lester was afraid she would become suspicious, so he added, "How are you going to raise the child on your own?"

"This is something for me to think about in the future. I'm going to keep them, no matter how hard and tiring it might be," Daphne replied.

The determination in her eyes moved Lester in the end, and he no longer insisted. Everything would be fine as long as Daphne and the child did not know who the father was, and Herkoen did not know that he had a child.

Herkoen's psionic strength was Rank SSS. His father, the leader of the coalition, had lost hope that Herkoen would have an heir in the future. The first thing Lester should do at the moment was to keep Daphne safe at all times. He absolutely could not let the Renegade Coalition learn about the news of her pregnancy.

He quickly came up with a plan in his mind. Before he left, he told Bryan to keep this a secret or he would be punished for leaking the country's top secret.

Daphne looked out the window as she sat in the flying car, but her mind was somewhere else.

In two short days, her life had been turned upside down, and she had no idea what would happen next.

Oh well, she would just take it one day at a time.

Suddenly, a glass of warm water appeared in front of her eyes. "Have some water. It'll be good for your health."

"Thank you," she replied. She accepted the water, but she only took a small sip.

"I've had someone request the authorities to have you detained at my manor. You can just stay at the manor to prepare for your delivery without any worries from now on," said Lester.

Daphne did not expect that he would go to such lengths. "Can I? Would I not cause you trouble?"

"It's fine. The women from the underground boxing ring are just locked in the Hildi Prison for ten days or so as a punishment. You guys are not heinous criminals. A small request like this will be approved. Arrangements will be made for all the women after that as well.

"Besides, you—you don't have an identity now. If the police were to find out after you leave, you'll be put in a shelter for females," Lester explained.

Upon hearing that, Daphne decided to just stay at his manor. The rules of this place were too scary. She would step over the line if she were not careful.

The flying car parked at the same spot before it left, which was outside Daphne's room.

"Lester!" A young man ran past Daphne and jumped into Lester's arms.

"Lenko, you're too rude. We have a guest here. Behave yourself."

After Lester had lectured the young man named Lenko Waltzan, he let go of his brother. Feeling embarrassed, Lenko glanced at Daphne and said, "I'm sorry, Lester. I didn't notice that we had a guest."

Then, he nodded at Daphne. She instantly became fond of him. What a polite young man.

"Alright. Wait for me in the study," Lester told Lenko.

It was after his brother left that Lester apologized to Daphne, saying, "I'm sorry. My brother is quite careless, so he didn't notice you."

Daphne felt that was very normal. Lester was at his home, interacting with his brother. She should be the one apologizing instead.

Seeing how apologetic Lester was made her feel extremely guilty. It was clear that Lester and Lenko had not done anything wrong.
