Chapter 100:
I was certain it was pity, not feelings. Ivy was the only woman I had feelings for, and I wanted it to remain that way.
“You called me ma’am,” she said softly, walking toward Rosa.
My heart did a quick flip when her soft eyes met mine for a brief second.
My jaw clenched in anger as Rosa sat beside me and laid her head on my chest.
My breath hitched in disgust as I shifted uncomfortably, trying to dislodge her head, but the bitch only wrapped her arms around me, holding me close. Was she trying to make us look like a happy couple? Why was she doing this? To make Aurora jealous?
I glanced at her uncomfortably, hoping she would move off me, but it was in vain.
I gritted my teeth in anger as Aurora glanced at me a few times. The urge to explain to Aurora that Rosa and I meant nothing overtook me, but I remained still, dismissing the thought.
“Good thing you’re here already,” Rosa suddenly said, her voice bright with excitement. “I just want to make a suggestion, my King. Now that she isn’t going anywhere, she’ll be useless. Why don’t I take her as my maid?”
I couldn’t miss the disgusted look on Aurora’s face from the corner of my eye.
“She is not your maid. She belongs to me,” I reminded her, allowing my voice to stay calm.
“It’s just that I find it difficult to pick things up from the floor, and I need massages. My handmaid is sick, and I just need a helping hand. My protruding belly isn’t helping matters at all.”
I was about to yell at her, but for the sake of my unborn child, I let it pass. “Please, my King.”

Confusion settled in my mind as I was torn between Ivy’s and Rosa’s demands. Both were centered around Aurora.
Aurora didn’t matter to me as much as Ivy did. I didn’t mind avoiding her.
“Fine,” I groaned reluctantly, ignoring the irritation that sparked in Aurora’s eyes.
“Thank you, my King,” Rosa bowed.
From the corner of my eye, I saw Aurora’s silver-gray eyes dull, sadness washing over them. My heart clenched, but I quickly pushed the feeling aside.
As long as she was away from me, I wouldn’t allow myself to be confused by my emotions.
“Is it just me, or is this room dusty?” Rosa asked, her eyes scanning the room.
“It was cleaned while he was asleep,” Aurora replied, forcing her gaze away from me.
“Oh, don’t blame me. Pregnant hormones can mess up your mind. It’s a shame you can’t relate.” She let out a burst of laughter, laced with mockery.
I cringed in disgust at her behavior, but I let it pass. Anything to make my baby comfortable.
“Now, quickly, I need you to scrub this floor spotless!”
