Chapter 127

Yes, pregnancy! Rubica had forgotten about it, but since pregnant women could get tired easily, they were given some privileges, and one of them was eating in the bedroom.

Moreover, Rubica previously ate a full breakfast when it had been in the bedroom.

"Elise, come here."

Elise had been working on something else downstairs and came when Rubica's breakfast was ready on the table. Her hair was in a pretty knot again, but she was wearing a flea-colored dress that was even worse than her mouse-colored dress.

Why was she insisting on such dresses when she could be much prettier? Were balls the only excuse to make her wear splendid dresses?

'Oh, but the balls season is months away.'

Rubica had to hold back a sigh. Wasn't there a good excuse to make the girl wear a pretty dress? Should she suggest a picnic? But Elise would surely come to the picnic in one of her simple dresses with a shy smile even if all the other women were wearing their best dresses.
