Oh No! They're Salivating Over Me! novel Chapter 6

"Don't be ridiculous," Daphne replied to the system. She looked up at Lester and thought that the system was right. Lester was rich, powerful, and extremely handsome.

Her cheeks started to burn as she looked at his face.

"Are you—feeling unwell?" Lester asked, making Daphne even more bashful.

"I'm going to the bathroom. Please excuse me," said Daphne.

"Alright," Lester replied.

Daphne saw her red cheeks in the mirror and patted them with cold water. "Ah! Come on! Stop flushing!"

As soon as she thought of his face, her cheeks started burning again. This would not work. She had to stop thinking about him.

By the time she came back, she realized Lester had almost half of the cake.

"I'm sorry. It's very good, so I couldn't help taking a couple more bites." Lester looked embarrassed.

"It's fine. I'll have them send it to you every day if you like it," said Daphne.

"No need to trouble yourself."

Lester glanced at her belly and added, "How much longer do you have until delivery?"

"I'll be giving birth at the end of this month," Daphne replied.

"Alright. I still have some work to do, so I'll be taking my leave. Have a good rest."

"Alright."

When Lester was back in his study, Victor asked in confusion, "Have you not told Ms. Miller that she's no longer a criminal? It seems to me like she still has no idea."

"You talk too much," said Lester.

After Victor left, Lester grabbed a document from the document. It was a pardon letter with the stamp of the United Federation on it.

Lester had no idea why he agreed to let Daphne stay in his manor. Could it be because she was pregnant with Herkoen's child?

Ever since Daphne found out that Lenko was fine, she often made things like desserts and fruit teas and delivered them to him. She also delivered some to Lester as well.

She did not know if a person as busy as Lester would eat and drink them all, but she just delivered them every day. It was the thought that counts. How Lester dealt with the food after that was out of her hands.

Lenko was discharged from the hospital a week later. The first thing he did after he came back was to look for her. Daphne was very touched because that meant Lenko had been thinking of her.

However, Lenko came with bad news as well—he had to return to his family.

To begin with, he was only there for the summer break. School was about to start, so his family had been urging him to go home.

"Daphne, the household staff is packing my luggage for me now, so I took the opportunity to come and say goodbye to you," said Lenko.

Daphne patted him on his shoulder. "Look at you. You look like you're about to cry. It's not like we're never going to meet each other anymore. Besides, we can talk to each other on the phone."

"Oh yes, I almost forgot about the phone. Can you see me off later?" Lenko asked.

"My family sent a battleship to pick me up, but it's on the outskirts of the city. You're too good to me, Daphne. I can't bear to say goodbye to you."

"Sure!" Daphne replied. She then packed some snacks with a longer shelf life for him.

Lester could not see Lenko off because of work. Daphne parted with Lenko at the outskirts of the city and watched him board the battleship.

She could not help but think about how great it was to be born into a wealthy family. They used a battleship to pick Lenko up. However, that also showed the Waltzan family's powerful status in Hildi.

Daphne thought about how all the emperors since ancient times were afraid that their subordinates would overshadow them. If she were the Emperor of Hildi, she would be afraid of the Waltzan family too.

What if the Waltzan family wanted to overturn the throne and charged into the Emperor's bedroom with their battleships?
