Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 1016: Not stopping until we’re drunk!

"I'm sorry." I apologized to Rose as she was leaving the room.

Rose just shook her head with a smile on her face as she said, "There's nothing to apologize about, I understand. You were the same with my family, so how could I ask for more?"

I had a grateful look on my face when she said this.

As for what I was apologizing for...

It was that I was about to have a private family dinner with Angela, the former king, and Noah.

This seemed like I was excluding them, but really this was because there was something important that we had to tell the former king. That was why I wanted it to just be the four of us, instead of including Rose and the other wives.

It wasn't that I didn't value them, it was just that this was a special occasion for this former royal family.

It was a good thing that they understood and respected this decision of mine.

When the former king arrived, he was certainly surprised and a bit confused why I suddenly invited him to dinner like this. At the same time, it even seemed like he was a bit suspicious of why I invited him.

Suspicious wasn't the right word to describe it, it was more that he was on guard.

As for what he was on guard against...

Well, it was simply because he didn't want me throwing more of my work to him like I've been doing for a while now.

But even if he looked at me in this way, that didn't stop us from enjoying dinner together as a family.

We didn't break the news to him right away and instead just enjoyed the time as a family first.

It was only when we were halfway through the meal that I suddenly said, "Father in law, there's something that I want to talk to you about."

The former king slightly knitted his brows when he heard this, but he slowly gave a nod in response and looked at me as if he was waiting to hear what I had to say.

I didn't say it right away as I turned to take Angela's hand and shared a look with her first.

The two of us looking at each other like this made the former king raise a brow as if he was doubtful of something, but he went back to the same look as before in the end.

Once we finished our moment, I turned back to the former king to say, "Father in law, I want to tell you that Angela is pregnant."

The former king's chin dropped the moment that he heard this.

It took him more than a minute to come back to his senses and when he did, the expression on his face changed many times. It was almost as if he was having a stroke with how much his face was twitching, but we knew that it was just because of the different emotions that he was feeling at this moment.

Finally, the former king stood up from his seat and walked over to us with the same changing expression on his face.

When he reached Angela's side, he bent down and asked, "Is it true?"

Angela just looked up at him with a tear in her eye and a smile on her lips as she gave a small nod.

The former king's eyes teared up as well when he saw this before suddenly taking her hand and patting it as he said, "That's great! I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"

It seemed that his emotions got the better of him and he wasn't able to control the volume of his voice, but it was understandable since this was how any father would act in this situation. The daughter that he cared for had married a man that he approved of and now they were having their own children, it was certainly a happy ending no matter how one looked at it. The former king started asking a bunch of questions about how the baby was and how long she had been pregnant, which Angela slowly answered.

When he was finally satisfied with this, he suddenly turned to Noah and said, "Now if only we can get this one married." Right as soon as his voice fell, he gave a sigh as if he was disappointed about something.

Angela just nodded in agreement after hearing this and saying, "Sometimes I even wonder if he's..."

The way that her voice trailed off made it very clear what she was implying.

Noah just revealed an awkward look when he heard this before shooting a gaze at me as if he was asking for help.

But when he did this, I could feel the chill that was coming from Angela.

I knew that she was doing this on purpose, this was her way of getting back at Noah for the matter with the royal doctor. So if I were to help at this time, there was no doubt that her fury would also turn to me.

In this scenario...the only thing that I could do was pray for Noah.

Since I didn't say anything the former king and Angela continued to harass Noah about the fact that he wasn't married. They harassed him about the fact that he had never even shown any interest in women before.

In the end, he finally couldn't take it anymore and said, "It's not as if I don't have my own ideas, it's just that I'm too busy right now."

At this, the former king and Angela both revealed interested looks before they started peppering him with more questions.

Hearing them go at him like this, Noah knew that he had made a mistake and let his emotions get the better of him.

Though the real reason was...he had been drinking.

He had been sipping his wine to avoid the question, but that had backfired on him.

The former king also knew this, so he said, "Let's go, we're not stopping until we're drunk!"

Part of this was just to tease his son, but the bigger part of it was that he was happy that his daughter was pregnant and he was about to become a grandfather.

Since that was the case, I was happy to go along with him.
