The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress

"Paige, I don’t want to argue with you, can we have a proper conversation?" Kiya said to Paige calmly.

Whenever the two of them talk about this sensitive topic, they start fighting; he knows Paige doesn’t want to go back, but he’s also willing to go back alone.

Just like he said, the Imperial Palace is too big, being there alone is too lonely, he doesn’t want to stay in the Imperial Palace by himself.

Kiya’s tone soothed the anger in Paige’s heart, and Paige calmed down her emotions; she didn’t want to argue with him either.

"Kiya, I’m not happy there. Really, not happy at all.

The relationship with the mother-in-law is hard to reconcile. I’ve tried for so long, your mother still doesn’t like me. I don’t think if I keep trying, your mother will like me."

"..."

"Kiya, I really don’t want to go back to the Imperial Palace."

This time Paige learned her lesson and didn’t argue with Kiya; she stood up and sat on his lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and used a coy tone to speak to Kiya,

"Please, don’t make me live in the Imperial Palace, okay? Kiya, you’re the best, let me stay in Orienta."

"..."

Paige bit his earlobe teasingly and laughed, "If you don’t say anything, I’ll take it as you agreeing..."

She smiled lightly, making Kiya feel heated all over; Kiya held her and kissed her lips with a touch of urgency.

After a while, Kiya felt uncomfortable all over and murmured, "Hurry up and give birth to the little Princess."

"I can’t decide on that."

Just as the words fell, Paige’s abdomen suddenly hurt, her complexion changed with a look of pain, and Kiya saw it and asked nervously, "What’s wrong?"

"Your little Princess seems to be coming out..."

Kiya was completely stunned!

Paige felt the pains, which were just beginning; the intervals were long, and the pain was still bearable.

"I’ll take you to the hospital." Kiya was dumbfounded for a moment, then reacted and immediately picked up Paige to go outside.

Gary and Gavin, who were standing outside, saw Kiya carrying Paige out and asked curiously, "Sultan, are you going out now with the Queen?"

"Paige is about to give birth; we’re going to the hospital now. Gary, Gavin, both of you come with me. Oh, and please invite Sienna Johnson’s mother over too." Kiya quickly directed.

"Yes."

Gavin went to find Pauline Briggs, Gary went to prepare the car, and the group was ready to head to the hospital for labor.

The hospital for childbirth, since Kiya came to Sileria City, had begun a comprehensive investigation, but Kiya’s requirements were too high. Even though the local reputable hospital was good, Kiya wasn’t satisfied. If Paige disagreed, he truly wanted to take Paige back to the Imperial Palace to give birth there.

His little Princess should be born in the Imperial Palace, among the prayers of the Abyanabad people, rather than in a small hospital.

Eventually, Kiya chose a hospital run by people from Mousden, where conditions were barely adequate.

"Don’t be afraid, it’s okay," Kiya reassured Paige.

Paige smiled at him and said, "I’m not afraid, it’s not the first time I’ve given birth."

Pauline Briggs and Adrian Desmond arrived in haste and saw Paige sitting in the car, Pauline asked, "Does it hurt a lot?"

This baby has been anticipated for a long time too, and that bit of pain is totally bearable, Paige shook her head and said, "It hurts a little, but it’s okay..."

"Did you bring the birthing kit?" Pauline asked.

With Pauline’s reminder, Kiya recalled, he’d forgotten it; Kiya said, "The hospital should have some, right?"

"What the hospital prepares can’t be as reassuring as what you prepare yourself. Go and get Paige’s birthing kit... it’s that red handbag I prepared for Paige, don’t take the wrong one."

Pauline commanded Kiya as unceremoniously as she would Adrian, and Gavin couldn’t bear to watch, so he said, "Sultan, let me go instead."

"Yes, go ahead, quickly bring it over." Kiya couldn’t bear to leave Paige for a moment.

Pauline saw that Paige’s labor pains had just started, knowing birth was still a long way off, she asked Gary to inform Samara and have Samara make something for Paige to eat and bring it to the hospital.

Paige felt embarrassed, saying, "Auntie Agatha, I’m not hungry."

"Giving birth takes several hours, and it’s especially exhausting. If you don’t eat well, how will you have the strength to give birth?"

Paige’s mother passed away early; Pauline’s motherly concern touched Paige deeply.

Every woman giving birth faces this ordeal; Paige is a bit scared too. Pauline, being like a mother beside her, inexplicably made Paige feel steadied.

"Why are you all standing around? Let’s hurry to the hospital." Pauline urged everyone, seeing they were standing still.

Although Paige’s labor pains had just started, and birth wouldn’t happen immediately, childbirth is not a small matter. It’s better to go to the hospital earlier to wait for delivery. If any sudden situations arise, they can be promptly addressed.

"Auntie Agatha, aren’t we waiting for Samara?" Paige asked.

"Let Adrian take Samara over."

Adrian saw that even if he went along now, he wouldn’t be of much help, so he said to Paige, "I’ll come over with Samara later. Don’t be afraid; Kiya and my mother-in-law are both here."

"Brother, I’m not afraid." Paige’s eyes, however, turned red.

Kiya became anxious and asked, "Does it hurt a lot?"

Paige shook her head; Pauline got in the car, sat beside her, and Paige leaned on Pauline’s shoulder.

"Don’t be afraid, you have a healthy body. You’ll definitely give birth smoothly."

"Mm."

Paige merely thought of when she gave birth to Dylan; when Paige was birthing Dylan, Kiya was on a state visit and not by her side.

When pregnant with Dylan, due to discord with the Queen Mother, Paige was emotionally depressed; the day Dylan was born, the Queen Mother brought a woman saying she would become Kiya’s woman, leaving Paige both angry and sad, directly causing Dylan’s premature birth.

She gave birth alone, in excruciating pain, while hearing the Queen Mother say the priority was that the baby is born safely.

As for whether she’s dead or alive, it doesn’t matter.

"Is it hurting a lot? Why are you crying?" Kiya took a handkerchief to wipe her tears, only for Paige to glare at him fiercely, her eyes filled with resentment.

"I absolutely won’t go back to the Imperial Palace!" Paige choked up, burying her face in Pauline’s shoulder.

Pauline softly comforted her, telling her not to be afraid; the baby would certainly be born safely.

"Yes, the child will surely be born safely." Kiya also comforted, not knowing whatever he said was wrong.

"Child, child, in your eyes, there’s only the child, whether I live or die, you don’t care."

"When did I think that way?"

"Who knows what’s on your mind?" Paige was being unreasonable.

Just as Kiya was about to speak, Pauline said, "Her emotions are unstable now, you should say less."

Kiya: ...
