Chapter 608

Apphia's pov
I'm lying on a picnic blanket at the royal lake, surrounded by lovely and colorful flowers as spring is upon us. The sky is blue, and the heat warms my skin. It is incredible, amazing. Life has been wonderful. I'm married to my mate, and I have two children, one of whom is on the way.
Nicholas and our three-year-old, Jacks, are playing a delightful game away from me, chasing each other. A pleasant squeal from my son makes me raise my head. I put away the book I was reading. Nicholas' laughter echoes a distance away, and my heart warms.
