Veronica CEO's Underworld Queen
Chapter 73

Feeling light and content, that's how Veronica woke up.

She took her moment to savor this sense of feeling blessed and heaved a deep sigh of relief.

After a while, she then opened her eyes as realization dawned on her that her little family; the cubs and Rawlf weren't on the bed with her.

Veronica furrowed.

"Where are they?" She asked in confusion with a hoarse voice.

Assuming that they might be downstairs, she slowly walked out of the bed to the bathroom and washed her face. After a while, Veronica went out and took her robe hanging inside the walk-in closet and covered herself with it then, she walked out of the room.

Veronica was descending the staircase when she saw the butler passing below. "Good morning Butler Ro, where's Rawlf and the cubs--- I mean the kids?"

Seeing the young mistress from the stairs, the good butler bowed his head.

"Good morning, young mistress. The young master and the kids were on the pond in the backyard. I can bring you there."

"No, it's okay. I'll go."

"If that's the case, I'll be leaving then to have the breakfast prepared."

Veronica nodded her head as a response. But once again called out the butler after remembering another thing.

"May I ask for a vegetable soup for breakfast. It's the kids' favourite."

The young master already asked for it earlier, the young mistress. I am about to ask Chef Boris for it."

"That's good. Thank you, good butler Ro", Veronica offered a kind smile towards the butler which made the butler bow his head even lower with deep piety. 'The future Sy Madame is the most gracious.' The butler thought, and the question to confirm the kids' identity was lifted off his mind for a second.

"You'll save me anyway daddy." These words from Baelfire Veronica managed to overheard stopped her from her track.

"No doubt", And Rawlf's answer made her suddenly emotional and lost in her good feelings.

Her family... Her man... Their cubs.

Veronica closed her eyes, tasting the delicious emotions surging through her at this exchange from her son and her man. Rawlf is a good father, no doubt. And now, she's feeling guilty that she even doubted the man with his capability of not just being a good man to her, but also with being a devoted father towards their cubs from the beginning.

It's not like she can be blamed for it though.

An uncontrollable emotion for Rawlf rushed through Veronica's veins. She felt her longing for him. She felt wanting to be lost in his arms. And as if the foreign emotions seemed intolerable, Veronica turned to walk and improved her pace.
