My Unborn Baby Chose My Husband for Me novel Chapter 375

Lucian's gaze slowly traveled up the length of her arm to study her face.

He leaned in closer, his breath brushing against her pale cheek.

Just as his lips were about to touch her skin, she shifted smoothly, turning her back to him as if simply adjusting her sleeping position.

He froze mid-air.

His eyes widened slightly as the sudden realization hit him—she was completely awake.

The sheer coldness of that silent rejection clamped around his chest, hurting worse than if she had screamed at him for hours.

The room fell dead silent.

Yet she could feel him hovering there, anchored to the spot.

Right on cue, Little Bean piped up: Hmph! Bad Daddy! Trying to sneak a kiss! Good job, Mommy, don't let him off the hook! Don't be sad, I'll kiss it better!

A tiny, bitter smile tugged at the corners of her mouth in the dark.

Lucian stood at her back for what felt like an eternity before finally letting out a defeated sigh and trudging into the bathroom.

Moments later, the steady hiss of the shower echoed through the suite.

Seraphina finally let out the breath she had been holding.

When he eventually slid beneath the covers, she was still wide awake.

As he instinctively reached out to wrap an arm around her waist, she went rigid at his touch.

He swallowed hard, quietly retracting his arm and rolling onto his back.

The next morning, she dragged herself out of bed at dawn, mechanically going through her routine of showering and feeding the baby.

Not long after she carried Little Bean downstairs, heavy footsteps sounded from the landing.

Lucian was making his way down.

His eyes immediately locked onto her sitting quietly at the dining table with her toast.

He ran a hand over his tired face and walked over. "Morning."

She didn't even look up.

Feeling entirely unwelcome, he awkwardly cleared his throat and stepped over to the highchair.

Little Bean was lounging back, curiously surveying the kitchen.

As soon as he made eye contact with his father, the infant immediately looked away, babbling loudly at his mother instead.

Go away, bad Daddy! I'm mad at you too, and you don't want to mess with me!
