Harper tapped the table and burst out in laughter. "I didn't expect him to overreact so madly. I'm very
restrained at home now. He
doesn't allow me to do anything, and puts me on a strict diet. Pregnancy itself isn't hard for me, but his
restrictive orders are hard
to take..."
A glint of something arose in Zack's eyes, but his face became gentler. "Caroline is also pregnant now.
She has had terrible
morning sickness. She quickly vomits whatever she eats. George is so worried about her."
"Wow, it's great to hear that Caroline is pregnant!" Delighted, Harper stopped tapping on the table. "I'll
prepare some pills for her
morning sickness and have them delivered to her later. It may help relieve her pain."
"I thank you on her behalf."
Harper gave him a reproachful glance and said, "Don't be so formal with me. I wonder how Hansen has

north domain."
"Don't worry about him. Shawn is also in the north domain to help him. Where is Gigi? Has she been
taken away by Lady Casey
again?"
"Alas. After she stayed at our mansion for just two days, Lady Casey came and brought her back to her
mansion. She said that
she couldn't fall asleep if she couldn't see Gigi. Now it's difficult for me to even see her."
"Lady Casey's daughter-in-law hasn't been pregnant yet. Thus, she has to spend all her time taking
care of Gigi. I'm sure it's
easier for you to have them take care of her." Zack smiled. "The weather has been warm. I heard that
the peach blossoms in the
Holy Chant Temple have bloomed. Let's find a good day and see the peach blossoms there."
"No, thank you. Rather than watch them, I prefer to cut them." Matthew's voice rang out abruptly. As he
strode in, he fixed his eyes on Zack and asked him, "Grand Secretary Franklin is about to retire. Have
you been free recently?" "Your Highness, as long as you don't get me in trouble, I can spare some time
to enjoy the peach blossoms." "My Harper has no time to enjoy the peach blossoms. She needs to take
care of herself and the baby," Matthew said coldly as he sat down next to Harper. "If you want to enjoy
the peach blossoms, I'll ask my men to dig up all the peach trees in the Holy Chant Temple and plant
them in your yard." Hearing his words, Harper glanced at him and said in a blaming tone, "If you do
that, the abbot of the Holy Chant Temple will have a quarrel with you."
"Chodak dug up one already; why can't I?" Matthew questioned innocently. Harper had no idea how to
respond. Eventually, she said, "I don't care about peach blossoms." "Well, I don't like them either.
Otherwise, I have to cut them off one by one." Matthew's voice was emotionless, but Zack got his point.
"Your Highness, it's said that your mansion can't sustain any flowers even if they are planted in your
garden. Harper is afraid that
the peach blossoms will be ruined."
Harper's mouth twitched into an awkward smile. "It's not like that."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I can't grow peach flowers, chrysanthemums or begonias in my yard. I can only grow one kind of
flower," Matthew said.
"Apricot blossoms(*)?" (*Teasing that the prince may have affairs with a lot of women.) Zack asked
slowly. "The same one as the
red apricot blossom in the poem, 'With so much spring in the garden, how can it be contained? A spray
of red apricot blossom
has already reached over the wall'?"
Hearing what he said, Harper was at her wit's end. How could the two men fight each other every
single time they met? In an oral fight, Matthew could be beaten by Zack. But in a real martial arts fight,
even ten Zacks would be no match for Matthew. "I've heard that the matchmakers have trampled the
threshold of your mansion. Is it true?" Matthew narrowed his eyes with an intimidating air. "Those ladies
introduced by the matchmakers are not as beautiful as the ladies waiting outside your mansion. They
look forward
