Gara still couldn't believe he was pregnant again so soon.
Even though nothing fatal had happened during his previous year at the academy while pregnant, exhaustion was something he could no longer deny. His body remembered everything.
When he recalled what they had done just hours earlier, the result made perfect sense.
The moment Gara had climbed onto Madha's lap, he had felt Madha's body heat spike, his gaze shifting into something dangerous and familiar.
But Gara's original intention had been simple. He just didn't want Madha to run away again.
Ignoring the change in Madha's eyes, Gara spoke seriously.
"I'm sorry if I've been too busy all this time," he said sincerely. "I didn't realize how much I was neglecting your feelings."
That single sentence wiped all the chaotic thoughts from Madha's mind.
Guilt slammed into him.
He was the one who ran away.
The one who abandoned his promise.
Yet it was Gara who chased him down and apologized.
Madha felt like punching himself.
