As the months passed and her pregnancy advanced, Delphine felt her body growing heavier. Finnian sent her a message halfway through, merely stating that the right opportunity had yet to arise for that matter, and told her to wait patiently.
Delphine understood as well; this was by no means the ideal time. Ever since Ignatius Leclair had moved in, he spent most of his time with her and the child. This man, perpetually taciturn, carried a deeply contemplative mind, sharp and astute. If she had any intentions or secrets, they would be incredibly hard to keep from him.
So Delphine simply buried that matter deep within her heart and adopted a more passive attitude.
Ignatius Leclair had been staying in Northern Town for a few months now, rarely returning home. The news of her pregnancy, naturally, could not remain hidden from the old patriarch of the Leclair Family.
