Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 587 Kidnapped The Old Woman

"Giving birth!" the whole room fell into an uproar. Many exchanged glances and started talking about it but the most affected were Hannah and Ethan.

Their eyes bulged like saucers and they froze on their places.

"Oh my lord.. Are they even prepared for it? Which midwife had they called for?" It was the voice of the head maid of the palace that brought both Hannah and Ethan back to their senses.

Hannah's face crumpled. She was the one who fed drugs given by his majesty to the duke and Evangeline so that she would not be able to give birth.

Now that she had heard about her giving birth, she felt a strange feeling of guilt engulfing her and her feet did not move at all.

While Ethan, he was on the seventh sky with happiness. He was going to be an uncle, his sister was going to give birth! There is a new family member going to be added in his family.

He wanted to scream and dance with joy but the word of the head maid brought him back to his senses.

"Theo, will you handle the situation here?" he asked in a hurry as he held the hands of Hannah and walked towards the main door already.

"You did not need to worry about anything, my lord!" The man bowed his head and Ethan nodded back.

Even if he had denied, he would have left to see Evan.

"Do you know any good midwives in the vicinity?" the head maid nodded but before she could open her mouth, he held her hands and started dragging her too. 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮

"Pardon for my rudeness but we did not have much time." he said as he continued to drag both of them.

His face was elated. It looked like he was walking on the clouds instead of the grounds.

His speed was so fast that they were not able to match his strides. They both were half hopping and half running but none of both complained.

They could see how excited and thrilled he was with the name of giving birth as if it was his wife who was delivering the baby today.

The thought left Hannah burning with embarrassment and her whole face turned red. But her eyes were warm and caring that made the face of the head maid softer too.

All she wished was that the family would live with happiness.

The walk to the carriage was already exhausting but it finished early thanks to the dragging and fast strides of Ethan.

"Drive as fast as you could to the instruction of this lady here." he pointed at the head maid who was sitting beside Hannah.

Mostly maids follow their master in a different carriage that was assigned to the maids but today, Ethan did not care about such things.

All he cared about was reaching there as soon as possible. If it was in his hands, he would have thrown the coachman away and would have driven the carriage instead.

The coachman was taken aback from his enthusiasm and started the carriage with full speed but it was still not enough for Ethan who was fidgeting at his seat.

His feet were tapping again and again with impatience. He stared at the outside scenery by the window and then stared at the coachman, ending up staring out again as if asking why is the carriage not riding faster.

"Even if you reach there a minute or two earlier. It is not like the baby will come out earlier for you. These kinds of things take time!" Hannah said with an amused look on her face but her face burnt again when he looked at her.

His eyes sensed the change and the smirk on his face grew wider, "no! I am sure when you are pregnant, the baby will come out as soon as I call for her. She is going to be my little princess!" He said it with such ease as if it was natural for him to ask for a girl.

Hannah looked out of the window. She could not even bear to see the man but her face had already turned redder and an unconscious smile formed on her lips.

She did not know why but she felt butterflies fluttering in her heart with that thought.

"We are here, my lord. I will go and bring the midwife soon." said the woman but before she could walk out of the carriage, Ethan was already out and holding the door for her.

Holding the door for her by her master embarrassed her instantly, she was about to deny and ask him to not do that when he held her hands and dragged her out of the carriage thinking she was taking too much time,

If he could, he would have held the old woman in his arms and took her in so that she would bring the midwife faster.

Hannah shook her head as she chuckled. She had never seen Ethan this excited. Not even when he was announced as the son of the duke, nor when he had confessed to her.

He was not even that happy when he had kissed her for the first time. He was looking crazy right now.

Even the head maid was having a hard time dealing with such a kind of master. She was chiding him for behaving like a child. He was not following the rules of a noble but Ethan was not paying any attention to her nagging.

He held the old woman and brought her into the room with the speed of lightning while Hannah continued to sit there.

It had hardly been a minute when she heard the scolding of another old woman who was trying to beat Ethan with her both hands when he was holding her like a sack of potatoes.

Her eyes widened then she giggled like kids when Ethan winced but it only increased his speed toward the carriage.

"You dumb man, let go of me or i wll complaint against you for kidnapping!"
