My Unborn Baby Chose My Husband for Me novel Chapter 226

A faint smirk touched Lucian's lips, but he remained silent.

Inside, Little Bean gave an excited kick. "Mommy is right! We'll show her who's boss!"

The sudden jab made Seraphina gasp softly, her hand instinctively flying to her bump.

Lucian immediately frowned. "What's wrong? Are you in pain?"

"No." She flushed slightly. "The baby just gave a strong kick."

His gaze dropped to her stomach. After a beat of silence, he reached out, resting his large, warm palm gently against her belly.

Seraphina's body stiffened in surprise.

His hand felt incredibly steady, the heat of his skin seeping right through the thin fabric of her loungewear.

Neither of them dared to speak.

And then—

Little Bean kicked again.

A solid thump right against the center of Lucian's palm.

Lucian's brows shot up, a flash of pure awe sparking in his eyes.

"He moved." His voice was barely a whisper, as if terrified of scaring the child.

Looking at him, an overwhelming, indescribable warmth swelled within Seraphina's chest.

They had met under such chaotic circumstances, yet living together felt so incredibly effortless, like they had known each other for a lifetime.

"Yeah, he moves a lot," she murmured softly.

He didn't pull his hand away, keeping it right where it was, cradling the curve of her stomach.

A few moments later, Little Bean delivered a third, enthusiastic kick.

Seraphina couldn't hold back a laugh. "Why so energetic today?"

Lucian finally withdrew his hand. He quickly schooled his features back to his usual stoicism, though the tips of his ears betrayed a faint red flush.

He cleared his throat. "Probably takes after you."

She blinked. "What do you mean?"
