Todd sat in the chair, stunned for a long time.

Minnie glanced at Evie beside her, gave Todd a slight bow, and then left the room.

Ivy looked down at the bedroom on the second floor and muttered to herself dejectedly, "I tried more times, so why did she win?"

Todd's lips slowly curved into a smile, as if he were slowly recovering from the great shock.

“I’m going to be a father soon…” Todd closed his eyes and said with a smile, “I always thought that after abandoning my human form and embarking on the path of a tyrant, I would never be able to have children…”

Evie raised her eyebrows and said helplessly, "I will have my Valkyrie sisters stay by Deirdre's side and be responsible for her safety until she gives birth."

As she reached the door, Evie turned to Todd, who was still lost in immense happiness, and said, "Don't touch Deirdre during this time. You know what I mean..."

Ignoring Evie's teasing, Todd went straight to the bed in the second-floor bedroom.

Lying on the bed, Deirdre stroked her flat stomach, a joyful smile on her face.

Todd sat down next to Deirdre and gently took her hand: "We'll have a baby soon..."

"Is it a boy or a girl?" Todd glimpsed a maternal glow in Deirdre's beautiful, ethereal profile. "What about a name? And clothes, a crib, toys..."

Todd shook Deirdre's hand, signaling her to calm down: "Those things are still a long way off. The most important thing right now is to get better and rest..."

Deirdre nodded with a smile.

Todd looked at the woman beside him and said softly, "Deirdre, I should apologize to you. Since you and I got together, I haven't spent much time with you..."

Deirdre turned her head and looked into Todd's eyes: "I grew up in the tribe, and because of my alien identity, no one wanted to approach me; when I came of age, my father allied with Conchiob, and I was forced to remain in the arena as a hostage to struggle for survival..."

Looking up at the room in front of her, Deirdre smiled and said, "The years I've lived in this little building have been the happiest time of my life."

Leaning forward, Deirdre gave Todd a light kiss on the lips and said with a blush, "A woman's happiness does not depend on how much she has now, but on whether the future is bright."

Todd sighed, gently embraced Deirdre, and remained silent for a long time.
