Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 316

Liliana's hands roamed over Alastair's shirt, her fingers tracing provocative lines as she gazed up at him with an intoxicating, obsessive look.

Alastair could tell she wanted him.

He was a seasoned player in the game of romance, always impeccably sharp at reading a woman's signals.

He certainly didn't mind indulging her. Although her reputation was in tatters and she had pulled off some insanely reckless stunts, none of that bothered Alastair. He was a walking disaster himself, so how could he demand a woman be perfectly virtuous? Besides, he could see she was genuinely caught up in the heat of the moment. A woman wouldn't initiate something like this unless she felt real desire.

And rejecting her now would absolutely ruin the mood.

Furthermore, Alastair had no reason to say no. He needed her to charge onto the battlefield and fight tooth and nail for his glorious future.

So, when the situation called for it, he not only couldn't refuse, but he also had to eagerly sate the ravenous she-wolf.

Only a thoroughly satisfied woman would be brimming with energy and wholeheartedly devoted to his cause.

Still, a flicker of concern crossed his mind. "The baby..."

"It's fine," Liliana giggled breathlessly, melting against his chest. "The doctor said everything is completely stable. The second trimester is perfectly safe for intimacy."

Liliana had made sure to look up the safety of second-trimester sex online before coming over.

"Then I have nothing to worry about..."

Alastair's gaze turned predatory as his hand trailed down Liliana's spine.

As if sensing his intent, a soft shudder rippled through her body.

Liliana's legs wrapped around his waist, pliant and inviting.

Sheri had been detained by the authorities on charges of organizing an illicit escort ring, and she had entirely failed to find a way out. Her family had hired a lawyer, but the defense found the case incredibly thorny.

Those wealthy heirs had violated the women's consent, placing Sheri in a precarious middle ground since she was the orchestrator.

However, ever since the Yates family caught wind that Liliana had cleared her name, they suspected she had powerful backers and tried relentlessly to get in touch with her.

Liliana had ignored them completely until today, when Sheri, frantic and threatening her lawyer in the detention center, finally managed to reach her.

The moment Liliana arrived, Sheri clung to her like a lifeline.

"Lily, you have to find a way to get me out! If I don't get out now, it's really going to be too late," Sheri pleaded repeatedly.

Liliana frowned in surprise. "Too late for what?"
