Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1775

Severin, Heidi, and Tamara duly followed several elders and protectors into the meeting hall.

The other disciples who had gone to the Paradise Secret Realm went to hand their acquisitions to Felipe and Samuel. Meanwhile, the bystanders began to disperse, though not without gossiping among themselves about Gilda's decision to keep the child. Some could understand why Gilda decided to go through with it, while others disagreed and deemed it an unwise choice. The latter group reasoned that Gilda might have to lower her standards if she ever intended to find a partner in the future. There was no doubt that the decision would likely invite considerable criticism from different quarters.

"That child is Severin's! I'm so happy for them!" Sheila said in excitement upon returning with Diane and Sofia to their residence. She blurted out with joy as soon as she let Selene play outside.

Sofia smiled in agreement. "I never expected her to get pregnant on her first time! Guess that's what you call luck!"

"Do you want to have a child though, Sofia? You'll have plenty of chances to get pregnant if you want," Sheila teased.

Sofia sighed and replied, "You and I both know that the path of attainment is a dangerous one. Having a child could make things inconvenient and add an extra burden. I have no intention of starting a family for now."

Diane chuckled. "Selene will have a little brother or little sister as her playmate in the future!"

Severin was absent-minded during the meeting, and his gaze was constantly drawn to Gilda's bulging belly. Gilda noticed his gaze and blushed, knowing full well that the child in her womb was his. Otherwise, he would not have been so engrossed in looking at her belly since she became pregnant.

Wuhlricht noticed Severin's gaze as well and found it rather amusing. Nevertheless, he cut straight to the chase and posed a serious question to him. "Since it's only a few of us here, could you please tell us if you were able to find the miniature black tower?"

All the elders and protectors glanced at Severin, waiting eagerly for his answer.
