Chris' POV

"Oh. Hey, everyone. Long time no see!"

"Hey, Marcel. Ah, you don't need to stand. Sit down, sit down... How are you doing?"

We received word that our cuffs were finished so we came here to pick it up. We didn't bring Ren-chan with us because we wanted to keep it a secret from him.

Ernst-san guided us to the reception room and Marcel was already waiting for us there. Sig was the first one to enter the room. He immediately gestured for Marcel to sit down when he saw Marcel was about to stand up to greet us.

The last time we met Marcel, he was dressed in multiple layers. His clothes looked so hot back then but today, he was dressed more comfortably. He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and his signature towel wrapped around his head.

"Hmm... My morning sickness has settled down a bit. The baby is kicking so much now, so much so that we think this kid is going to be a little troublemaker one day."

Under Sig's insistence, Marcel sat back on the sofa again. He smiled while gently stroking his slightly swelling belly. Despite his rugged appearance, he had a tender look on his face, like a mother's.

"Wow.... Your due date is in the twelfth month, right? And yet, the baby is already moving around that much?"

I remember they mentioned their due date was by the end of the year. In that case, they should still had 2 months left and yet, the baby was already moving around that much?

I asked my question while staring at Marcel's belly. His belly was already a bit swollen, but his belly didn't look that big.

The three of us sat down on the opposite side of Marcel. Since the three of us also wanted to become parents someday, we were a bit curious about Marcel's experience.

"Sometimes the baby will kick so hard that it hurts."

Hurts?! The baby can kick that strong?!Is it normal for a baby to kick that hard?? Or maybe Marcel's baby is particularly energetic?

I knew giving birth must be very painful but still, I felt a bit bad for Ren-chan if he had to be in pain even before giving birth.

"Fufu...I can't wait to see the baby. When the baby is born, please do let us know. We'd like to celebrate too."

I wanted to ask more questions, but it seemed like Fer preferred to wrap up the conversation here.

Well, we're here to pick up our cuffs anyway. We're not here to ask about Marcel's pregnancy so~ It can't be helped I guess~

Besides, we could ask Marcel later when we actually had a child.

"Is that so? We will gladly accept your offer then. Well then. About the cuff... Here's the finished product. What do you guys think?"

Marcel chuckled as he grabbed a large black jewelry case from the side table next to the sofa. He placed it on the table in front of us with a gentle thud and opened it with a snap.

Finally, our oath cuffs...

Nervous, I watched intently as Marcel slowly opened the case.

"This is..."

Inside the case, there were three silver cuffs arranged in two rows. Each of the cuffs shined brilliantly.

I opened my eyes wide in awe, speechless at how beautiful the cuff was. Perhaps Fer and Sig were also as mesmerized as me too since the two of them were also staring silently at the cuffs.

"Huh? You guys don't like it?"

Perhaps because we didn't react in the way he expected, Marcel furrowed his eyebrows.
