Chapter 81

• *VALENS*
• “Are you okay?” Dahlia asked.
• I was getting these questions a lot these days and it irked me. Who would be okay with the nonsense happening around me these days? My mate now had to work and as much as I told her to take things slow, she always ended up exhausted at the end of each day. It hurt and annoyed me that she was stressed on top of being pregnant but every time I suggested a break, she looked at me with dull eyes. She thought I doubted her competence and although that was far from the case, there was no convincing her. I loved that she was great at her job and tackled each obstacle with enthusiasm but I’d rather she rest.
