Accidentally Pregnant By My Alpha Best friends (Madeline) novel Chapter 322

Madeline:

He looked at me, then glanced up at the ceiling.

"Can you think about any emotional event that you have been through recently?" he questioned, waiting for my response.

While he was speaking, I began to steal glances at him. I guessed he noticed because he frowned and tried to move into my line of sight.

"What is it?" he pressed.

"Well, I have been through stress lately," I mumbled, watching him narrow his eyes in concern. Then I added, "Especially when you came home all tired and exhausted after dethroning," I mumbled, turning my face to the side.

"You really care that much about me?" he asked in a soft, gentle tone, causing me to look him in the eye.

I did not understand why it was so hard for him to believe it.

Probably because of what he knew or what he had seen, something I had no part in.

It was confusing, but I could understand why he was a little skeptical.

"Yes," I responded softly.

"Well, if it helps," he commented, rubbing the back of his neck, "let me tell you this. It was actually pretty painful," he uttered, making me tilt my head and keep looking at him.

"Really? It was?" I asked him, watching Baxter nod his head and turn his face to the other side.

"Tell me more," I insisted.

"Well, it was humiliation that struck me the most. When I passed out, they dragged me out. And trust me, somehow, I was aware of that part. But all that time, there was only one thing that bothered me. What will happen to you when I am not able to defend you with the crown that I used to have before?" he whispered.

As soon as he turned to me, his frown softened, almost as if he saw something he had been looking forward to.

He stepped closer and gently touched under my eye, picking up the tear I had shed, only thinking about him going through so much.

As soon as that happened, I realized what he was trying to do. He was trying to help me with the case.

He rubbed the tear onto Hailey’s eyelids and then stepped back.

"There you go," he whispered the moment Hailey yawned and started to wake up.

"Daddy?" she instantly called for Elgin as she woke up.

Baxter started to step away to tell Elgin that his daughter had woken up, while I stood next to Hailey.

"What am I doing here?" she asked me, looking confused.

"Your father brought you here," I replied, watching Elgin rush inside with Graham beside him.

Elgin ended up sitting on the couch, hugging Hailey, whereas Graham, as always, was being very sneaky.
