Special Chapter: IBTMITL

Chapter 289

I was at a loss for words for a moment.

Really, thick drops of tears were dripping down Perez's cheeks.

To be honest, I was really surprised.

I thought Perez would be surprised if he found out that I was pregnant, but I never imagined that he would start crying out of nowhere.

"That... why are you crying?"

Even as I struggled to find what to say, Perez continued to shed tears.

The only thing that moved on the face where the expression disappeared as if it had hardened was tears flowing.

'It must be very complicated.'

I could guess it to some extent without having to say it.

With Perez in front of me, all I could do was wipe away the flowing tears.

"Perez."

At my call, Perez's eyes, full of water, blinked once.

"I won't tell you not to cry."

In the meantime, another drop of tears dripped down and wet my fingers.

"Because it must be tears of joy. Right?"

Perez's long black eyelashes trembled one more time.

"Ha."

As if exhaling the breath that had stopped, Perez smiled with a short sigh.

Then he slowly buried his face in my lap.

"You're really too much for me, Tia."

A low voice mumbled and was buried in the hem of my dress.

"I'll do my best."

How many times do you say that?

A chuckle came out.

I said softly, stroking his fine black hair.

"I know. I'm sure you are."

"You know? How?"

"Because you are that kind of person."

Perez raised his bowed head and looked up at me.

The unfamiliar and still-wet eyes are also pretty.

"I didn't know until now, but you are a crybaby."

Perez laughed at my playful tone.

His stiff shoulders, which had been so stiff, also loosened.

I took Perez's hand again, put it on my stomach, and asked as if squealing.

"So, what do you think? Can you feel it?"

"...Yes."

I could feel the movement of his fingertips with hard calluses through the thin fabric.

It was a very careful touch.

"It's very small, but I can feel it."

The sharp eyes that said so were folded into a fine shape.

"Very brave, here you are."

My heart began to pound again at what Perez said affectionately.

It was because I had already confirmed that I was pregnant, and even though I had suffered morning sickness, I didn't realize it.

However, when Perez said that he felt the energy of the child, I felt relieved that I had been confirmed once again.

"Yeah. I don't know anything else, but if she resembles you and me, she'll be brave."
