Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 152

Chapter 152: Why I was never enough

Katelyn stepped out of her room, stretching her arms with a quiet yawn, only to stop mid-motion when she saw Karmen walking down the hallway with a file in hand. She quickly lowered her arms, straightening up just as he approached.

"Good morning, Princess," he greeted, offering a polite nod.

"Good morning," Katelyn returned with a small smile. "And thank you for the muffins. I ate them, they were delicious."

"That’s good to hear," Karmen replied. "I have some work to take care of, so I’ll be on my way."

He gave her a courteous bow before turning to leave.

Katelyn watched his retreating back with a sigh. "Why is he acting so cold all of a sudden? He confuses me," she murmured to herself.

Reaching the living room, Katelyn spotted Casaio seated on the couch, his posture slouched, eyes distant as if lost in a storm of thoughts. Quietly walking up behind him, she gently placed her hands over his eyes.

"Kate," Casaio said instantly.

"What? How did you know it was me?" she asked, pulling her hands away with a mock pout as she stepped in front of him.

"I know my sister’s hands," he chuckled softly.

Albus, standing nearby, motioned to a maid and instructed her, "Bring green tea for His and Her Highness."

"You look better," Casaio remarked, taking in her presence with a small smile.

"Yes. The first three days are unbearable, but after that, the pain eases," Katelyn replied with a shrug, then narrowed her eyes slightly. "But you don’t look so good. Did Mom scold you again?"

"No," Casaio responded.

"Then why does my brother look like the world just crumbled around him?" she asked, concern lacing her voice.

The maid arrived with the tray. Katelyn thanked her with a soft nod and took a sip of the green tea, her eyes still fixed on Casaio, waiting for him to explain. But the answer never came.

She didn’t push him further. Instead, she sat beside him, silently sipping her tea.

Just then, Albus returned, holding a phone.

"Your Highness, the Queen has called," he announced.

Casaio took the phone and brought it to his ear. Before he could say a word, Mabel’s voice rang out from the other side.

"Come to the palace. It’s better if you teleport."

"Is everything alright, Mom?" Casaio asked.

"You’ll find out once you’ll be here," Mabel stated.

"Sure." Casaio handed the phone back to Albus. He placed the cup on the saucer and rose to his feet. "Don’t go around without bodyguard. I’ll be back soon," he instructed Katelyn before disappearing.

"Why did Mom call for him?" Katelyn inquired Albus.

"Pardon me, Your Highness, but I’m not aware of this," Albus responded truthfully.
