“Davey, there you are!”0

Just as Davey was about to go after the runaways Yuria and Rinne, Illyna had appeared in front of him. “Perserque got some bad morning sickness, so I think you should go check on her.”0

“What?”0

“I said she’s got it bad.”0

Seeing her serious expression, Davey closed his eyes for a moment to process the information. He then stepped closer and gently pulled her in by the shoulder, giving her a light kiss.0

“Uh. Wha…?” Her face instantly flushed red as her eyes darted around in confusion.0

“I can see through your lies. You want to get in trouble?”0

After he scooped her into his arms, she flailed slightly in surprise. “W-Wait, I’m not lying. I'm serious—!”0

He kissed her again. Her face turned even redder as she lowered her head, completely flustered.0

“You gonna admit it or not?”0

“Sorry…” Having been seen through in an instant, she looked up at him with a mixture of embarrassment and wounded pride. “How’d you know?”0

“It’s not even the right timing for Perserque to have morning sickness. More than that, I know her body better than anyone.”0

Hearing that would most likely make Illyna jealous, yet when it came to Perserque, he truly could confidently say he knew her better than anyone else in the world. After all, she was the first woman he had ever loved.1

“If something really was wrong, I would’ve noticed it before you did.”0

She clicked her tongue softly. Her reaction was so cute that he couldn’t help but tease her more, which made her cheeks turn even redder.0

“So. Are you going to explain why you lied?”0

At his question, she pouted and answered, “You little… When was the last time you went on a single date with me or Aeria?”0

Her question made Davey lower his head without hesitation. “My apologies, my lady.”0

“Hmph!”0

Illyna wasn’t the type to complain over nothing, so Davey knew that if she brought it up, things must have already been bad for a while. At times like that, he knew the right move was to just apologize...0
