Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 137

Chapter 137: Dinner date with Karmen

Karmen descended the final step of the staircase, pausing as his eyes landed on Katelyn seated gracefully on the living room couch.

The sight of her instantly reminded him of the musical they were meant to attend together that evening, about which he had completely forgotten.

"Good evening, Princess Katelyn," Karmen said as he came to a stop before her.

Katelyn looked up at him. "Good evening," she replied calmly before standing up. "I tried calling you so many times, but you didn’t answer even once."

There was no bitterness or anger in her tone.

Karmen immediately reached into the pocket of his trousers and pulled out his phone, his brows furrowing as he saw over ten missed calls from Katelyn.

"It’s still not too late, is it?" he asked as he looked up at her.

"No, Karmen. The musical ended a while ago," she said with resignation and disappointment.

"Please forgive me. I was busy with important work, and it slipped off my mind," Karmen said, lowering his eyes in guilt.

"Your Highness, when did you return to the mansion?" Albus asked with a surprised tone as he stepped in from outside, unintentionally breaking the tension between the two.

"Just a little while ago," Katelyn responded calmly. "I won’t be going back to the hotel. My brother has permitted me to stay here until he and Amelie return," she explained.

"I see. Then please, make yourself comfortable," Albus said with a respectful bow. "May I ask what Her Highness would like for dinner?"

"I don’t have an appetite," Katelyn replied softly, before turning and walking away, her figure disappearing down the hallway.

Albus watched her go with a confused frown. He glanced toward Karmen and asked in a lowered voice, "Did something happen to the princess? She seemed... upset."

Karmen didn’t respond, however, he felt even more guilty. Without a word, he turned and made his way silently toward the corridor that led to Katelyn’s room.

Giving a gentle knock on the door, he spoke, "Princess, would you like to go out for dinner?" He thought it would be the best way to make up for what he had messed up.

Katelyn, who had just sat on the bed, promptly straightened up, hearing that.

’A dinner date with Karmen?’ she thought and gazed at the door.

"I’m sorry for keeping you waiting for me in the evening. But it wasn’t intentional. I won’t make excuses, so allow me to take you outside for dinner," he said, trying to keep his tone formal.

The door opened, and his eyes met Katelyn’s.

"I don’t have much of an appetite, but since you are asking for it sincerely, I will go with you," Katelyn said, not trying to sound desperate. "Just give me a moment."

"Sure. I’ll be waiting for you outside the car," Karmen replied, taking a step back. He pivoted on his feet and walked away while Katelyn hurried to the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror.

She carried her handbag and ran outside to the waiting car.

Katelyn frowned slightly, worry knitting her brows. "Gabriel puts you through a lot, doesn’t he? He should give you some days off," she muttered, half in complaint, half in genuine care. freёwebnoѵel.com
