Chapter 5.1 – Discovery

Two months had passed since Yvonne married Liam. The hot summer had ended, and autumn had arrived. Despite the chilly weather, the relationship between Yvonne and Liam remained passionate. As soon as he returned home, he would seek Yvonne out and lay her down.

Even after several months, Yvonne could not keep up with Liam’s stamina. Every night, she would fall asleep as if fainting, exhausted from his attentions.

Despite their intense relationship, they had yet to have a child. Even after taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor, she only experienced her monthly cycle without conceiving.

Liam seemed unconcerned, saying, “It’s nice to enjoy more,” but Yvonne was deeply troubled. She had thought she would conceive quickly, just as she had with the third son of the Conrad Family, after just one night.

Yet, she had experienced her monthly cycle for two consecutive months, meaning she had failed to conceive twice. The doctor, Gavain, suggested cautiously that it might be Liam’s issue and comforted her, saying they hadn’t been married long enough to blame herself yet.

However, this did not comfort Yvonne. If she had never miscarried before, she might have blamed Liam, but…

The fact that she had miscarried in the past weighed heavily on her mind.

‘It must be my problem.’

Because I miscarried once, it’s not easy to get pregnant.

She still had no intention of revealing her past to Liam. She had learned enough from Philip about what happened when her past was discovered.

The only hope she held onto was that Liam never blamed her for the pregnancy issue and was too busy being affectionate with her every day.

Although it was overwhelming at times…

Yvonne shook her head to clear her complicated thoughts. She finished her bath, thinking of Liam, who would soon return.

As expected, Liam sought her out as soon as he returned. After a slightly prolonged caress, he spread her legs.

Her body, completely accustomed to him, was already wet without much stimulation. Even after inserting himself, Liam carefully licked and sucked on her body.

“Ah, Jeanne…”

“Oh! Ugh, Liam, uh…! Ah, mm!”

“How can this be, huh, really…”

Aren’t you tired of it?

Honestly, at this point, one might expect to be tired of it, but it felt good every time he was inside her. It was as if she had been marked by God just for him.

‘No, there’s no such thing as God.’

If God truly existed, instead of granting him such a gift, he would have been punished.

Just like the curses someone once hurled at him…

“Ugh! Ah, Liam…! Mm, I, I can’t… Ah! Mm!”

“You’re beautiful, Jeanne. Beautiful… Huh…”

“Mm, ah…! Uh, mm…!”

Liam kissed Yvonne on the nose and moved his hips again. Occasionally, he twisted her n*pples, causing Yvonne to cry and move her hips with him.

After bringing Yvonne to the peak of pleasure several times, Liam also reached his climax. Even after ej*culating several times, he kept himself inside her for a long time.

“Why aren’t you pulling out…?”

“Because I want to stay inside you.”

Liam whispered as he looked down at Yvonne. He continued to scoop up the fluid that leaked out and put it back inside as if it were precious.

Yvonne murmured that it was ticklish, still moaning from the lingering heat, but Liam just playfully smiled and showered her with kisses.

In truth, although he pretended otherwise, Liam was also troubled by the fact that Yvonne wasn’t getting pregnant. If they weren’t intimate so often, he wouldn’t be so anxious.

But except for the times when Yvonne had her monthly cycle, they were together almost every day. Even though he worried that he might wear himself out, he hadn’t, so he continued to fill her with his seed every day.

‘I thought she would get pregnant soon…’

How could he not know that she was feeling down? He just pretended not to notice. He never thought it was her fault.

As the doctor suggested, it might be his issue. Looking back, it made sense. Even though he had used contraception, with all the affairs he had, someone should have claimed to be carrying his child at least once. But not a single one did.

Of course, he wasn’t hoping for someone other than Yvonne to suddenly claim they were pregnant with his child or had given birth to his child…

Given the situation, he couldn’t help but suspect. It was a pretty serious issue.

‘Is it because I’ve been drinking and smoking for so long?’

No, even those who drank and smoked as much as I did had children just fine.

Even old Natong de Marlon had children with his former wife. Am I inferior to that senile old man? Really?

He couldn’t believe it. After all…

‘It stands so well.’

Liam touched the base of his manhood, which filled Yvonne once more, as he realized he was er*ect again.

The doctor said that even if there was no issue with having intercourse, he could still be infertile, but he didn’t want to believe that.

Impotent? Me, impotent?! 

It was ridiculous. He was so vigorous; it couldn’t be true.

Yes. The child… it must just be bad luck. It couldn’t be his wife’s fault or his own. If he kept feeding her his seed, she would eventually get pregnant. She had to.

Having reached the same conclusion after the same worry, Liam slowly moved his hips again. Each movement pressed the thick mass against her inner walls.

With that, Yvonne realized that Liam was er*ect again. But already drained of energy, she exhaled a shallow breath and tried to push her husband away.

“Huh… Liam, I’m really tired…”

“I won’t move. I’ll just stay inside.”

“Liar…”

Yvonne whimpered with a face full of disbelief. It wasn’t the first time. She didn’t realize that every time she spoke, she tightened around Liam’s member.

But this time, Liam truly decided to stay still. His wife’s tearful expression was quite cute.

Besides, having just s*x all the time wasn’t good. They were a couple, after all, and should have at least some everyday conversations.

“Are the preparations for winter going well?”

“Mm, yes. I’ve ordered plenty of wood for firewood. Since there won’t be flowers in the garden for a while… I’ve also brought in herbs to grow indoors. I’ve taken out and washed the winter wool carpets.”

“Excellent.”

Liam didn’t really know about the household affairs, but he responded positively. Yvonne, experiencing her first winter as the lady of the house, might be inexperienced, but wasn’t there a head maid to assist her? She would have helped to some extent.

Once she started talking, Yvonne chattered non-stop about the household affairs. She also shared stories she had heard from the head maid.

When it was completely winter, the vast Seine River would freeze over, and they could push sleds on the ice.

She also mentioned that the sight of white snow covering the green cypress trees was truly beautiful, so when it snowed, they should sit by the window and watch.

Her chattering voice was so endearing that Liam ignored his aching lower body and listened to Yvonne’s words. Then she asked him with an expectant face.

“Liam, you’ll do it with me, right?”

“Of course.”

Yvonne smiled softly, her face glistening with sweat, strands of fine brown hair clinging messily to her skin, yet she was beautiful, more so than ever. It was a wonder how her delicate features fit so perfectly on such a small face. Not only was her face pretty, but every part of her was exquisite.

When Liam leaned in to kiss Yvonne, she wrapped her arms around his neck. It didn’t take long for the gentle sounds to turn into intense moans. Only after satisfying his rising desire did Liam exhale a shallow breath and embrace Yvonne. He rubbed her flat stomach and then moved his hand upward to grasp her br*ast. Habitually stimulating her peak, he suddenly realized that her n*pples were already er*ect before he touched them.

‘Come to think of it, her br*asts seem a bit firmer.’

They were still soft, but there was a slightly heavier feel than usual. This wasn’t a completely new discovery; he had noticed it over the past few months. From experience, he knew that Yvonne’s body changed like this when her monthly cycle was approaching.

“You’ll have your cycle soon.”

“Mm… Yes, probably…”

“We won’t be able to for a few days, so we should do it again later.”

“No… I might really die…”

“You know you won’t die from this, Madame.”

Liam whispered playfully. Yvonne shook her head firmly, saying no. However, Liam dismissed her warning. He knew that even if she said this, when he got aroused and approached her, she would gladly open her legs.
