My Unborn Baby Chose My Husband for Me novel Chapter 58

"Mrs. Langford?" the middle-aged man called out tentatively. "My name is Zane, Zane Zacharias. You might not know me, but I've admired you for a very long time."

He rubbed his hands together, flashing a sleazy grin that made his features contort.

Seraphina didn't react.

Emboldened, Zane took a few steps closer. Staring down at her on the bed, he practically drooled.

The dark wine stain on her champagne gown only served to highlight the pale, luminous skin of her exposed collarbones and calves.

He swallowed hard.

"Tsk tsk, Lucian Langford's woman really is on another level." His gaze roamed greedily over her body. "It's a crying shame for a beauty like this to be enjoyed by just one man."

Little Bean trembled with rage in her womb. "Mommy! Listen to the gross things this fat pig is saying! I want Dad to beat him up!"

"Patience," Seraphina soothed her baby, her internal voice ice-cold. "Once he gets a little closer, I'll teach him a lesson."

Zane leaned over, reaching out to stroke Seraphina's face.

Right as his greasy fingers were about to brush her skin—

She snapped her eyes open.

Her gaze was razor-sharp and terrifyingly lucid.

Zane froze. "How... how are you still awake?"

Under normal circumstances, the drugged room spray should have taken effect long ago.

Inhaling that concoction was supposed to render a person entirely paralyzed and delirious.

Yet the woman before him looked completely unaffected.

Seraphina scoffed. "You thought a cheap parlor trick like that could take me down?"

A split second later, a stream of burning, noxious liquid shot directly into his eyes.

"Argh!"

Zane let out an agonizing howl, slapping his hands over his face as he stumbled backward. "My eyes! My eyes!"

He thrashed on the floor.
