Chapter 627: Soothing the cute wife

Evangeline’s unexpected words left Maximilian speechless for a moment.

"O-of course it would be a problem," he blurted, his cheeks turning red. "The whole body is redeveloped during the cycle of rebirth."

"Oh," Evangeline murmured, a hint of disappointment on her face.

Maximilian placed his hands on her lower back, pulling her closer. "Currently, we have a lot of enemies and no place to call home. I don’t want our children to live without a roof over their heads or constantly be at risk of being targeted by assassins."

"I know that," Evangeline whimpered, her lips forming a cute pout. "But I really don’t want you to put your life in danger. I wish we could move far away from all the politics of the dragon clan."

She leaned closer, cupping Maximilian’s cheeks in her hands. "I just want to live a peaceful life with my hubby and children who will call me mama."

"I will definitely give you the life you desire," Maximilian declared, leaning closer and gently kissing her forehead. "Just give me some time, hmm?"

"Unh," she nodded, the pout never leaving her lips.

"So, how many children do you want, Evangeline mama?" Maximilian asked in a teasing tone, his hands moving lower, groping her smooth curves.

Her breath hitched at his touch, but she didn’t remove his hand.

"Four—No, five... Six should be enough," she replied in an excited tone, raising six fingers in front of Maximilian’s face.

"So many?" Maximilian gasped, his eyes widening.

"Is that too much for my hubby?" she asked, a playful smile tugging at her serene face, making her look even more heavenly.

Maximilian silently stared at her figure. His eyelids grew heavy, lust clear within them.

"If you look at me like that, I won’t be able to stop with even sixty," he murmured, his fingers digging deeper into her curves.

"My Lord~" she moaned from his touch, unknowingly rubbing her lower region against his crotch.

Maximilian’s one hand moved upward, grabbing her horn, which was a shade of bluish black.

"Vivi, are you deliberately seducing me?" he asked, pulling her closer by the horn.

She grabbed both of his obsidian horns in response, increasing the pace of her rubbing down there. "What’s wrong with seducing my hubby? I’m ovulating, and I need you to calm me down."

Each of her words tested the limits of Maximilian’s control. He knew that she was too turned on to think clearly, but he needed to maintain his sanity despite how enchanting she looked.

Her body needed to be in perfect condition before entering the cycle of rebirth. If he crossed that line even once, he feared he would no longer be able to stop himself, especially with the abnormally high libido he had developed from drinking so much Flame Milk while growing up.

As long as he never crossed that line, he could keep himself under control.

"Lie down," he ordered her, his voice husky. "I will help you calm down, but we can’t go all the way. You understand?"

She silently obeyed, lying on the bed on her stomach, her face buried in the pillow.

The wings at her back fluttered, revealing the embarrassment she was trying so hard to hide.

Maximilian’s hands went inside her robe, tracing the curves of her smooth, jade-like legs as they moved dangerously upward. Her robe was lifted, revealing the heavenly pair of her legs only to Maximilian’s eyes.

His hand had only reached her thighs when her wings suddenly expanded in her fluster.

The sudden expansion of her wings caught Maximilian off guard.

They slammed into him, sending him flying across the room, only stopping after he hit the wall.

"O-ow!" Maximilian gasped as he hit the floor.

"My Lord!" Evangeline exclaimed, sprinting towards him.

She supported him to his feet and guided him towards the bed.

Once he sat at the edge of the bed, she blurted out, sitting on the floor in front of him, "I’m so sorry, My Lord. I didn’t mean to attack you. It just happened so suddenly. You know that sometimes our wings act out of control when we are flustered, right?"

Her words tumbled over one another as she desperately tried to explain herself.

"Shhh!" Maximilian placed his finger on her lips. "I’m fine. Don’t worry."

He grabbed her by the shoulder, lifted her from the floor, and made her sit on his lap, sideways.

"Because of me, the entire mood is ruined now," she whimpered, lowering her head in disappointment. She seemed almost on the verge of tears as she asked, "You don’t hate me, right—Ack!"

He flicked her forehead before she could finish her words, a habit he had developed because of Gumiho.

"Why would I hate you over such a small matter?" Maximilian retorted, rolling his eyes. "I grew up getting my ass beaten by you. This is nothing."

"My Lord, please don’t bring up that embarrassing past," Evangeline murmured, lowering her head. "I had to do that to turn you into a better person. I never enjoyed punishing you. If you were just a little less mischievous or more studious, I would have never spanked you."

Maximilian wrapped his arms around her waist, his lips reaching her neck for an affectionate kiss.

"I know. I never hated you for punishing me," he replied, showering her with kisses around her neck after each sentence. "You raised me wholeheartedly even though we were of similar age. You gave me the love of a mother, the care of a big sister, and the strictness of a master. I have nothing but gratitude for you."

"Waah... hic... waah," Evangeline began crying like a baby, tears rolling down her cheeks, her eyes closed and her small mouth open.

"B-baby, why are you crying? Did I do something wrong?" Maximilian asked, obviously flustered by her sudden breakdown. He tried to soothe her, switching between patting her head, wiping her tears, and kissing her cheeks.

It took him more than a minute to finally calm her down.

"My Lord... hic... I have never been... hic... more happy in my life before," she revealed, tightly wrapping her arms around his neck.

’She was crying because she was happy?’ Maximilian could only sigh inwardly. He moved backward onto the bed and kept patting her head and back, just above her wings, until she fell asleep in his arms.
