Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71: Advantage of you

"You know!?" Amelie exclaimed in shock. "How? You weren’t even present in the annual gala."

"Of course, but any news related to the princes spread like a wildfire. The news was published today in the morning newspaper," Denzel said as he lifted the glass of water to his mouth.

"That’s why everyone was looking at me with such gazes," Amelie murmured. She looked around the cafeteria and saw many eyes were on her as if they were gossiping about her affair with Gabriel.

"You should stay relaxed," Denzel opined, "and eat your food." He pointed at the plate, which wasn’t even half-emptied.

Amelie resumed eating while a lot of things kept going in her mind. As they finished eating, Amelie went back to her cabinet while Denzel went outside for a meeting.

"I wonder if the news may break about pregnancy," she murmured. ’It is not like I’m afraid of standing up for it, but it will be a real mess. I ran away from my pack a week ago and suddenly I accepted Gabriel’s proposal. Didn’t it all happen too fast? Does feelings shift so quickly?’ she thought, her hands rested over the desk.

"What are you lost?" Gabriel whispered in her ear, who stood right behind her, making it tough for her to move.

She tilted her head over her shoulder and found his softened gaze over her. It appeared as if he was silently admiring her.

"Nowhere," Amelie replied.

"Let’s go," Gabriel said.

"Huh? Where?" Amelie confusedly looked at him.

"Did you forget? Katelyn and you are supposed to go to shopping together. She called you but you didn’t pick it up. So, she called Karmen to inform me. I’m giving you a half-day off," Gabriel stated with a smile. "Forget the work and grab your things," he asserted and took a step back.

Amelie simply stared at him, not blinking and moving from her place. ’Will everything go well? Will I bring all the joy to him? So far he is the one, who has given me everything. What I have given him is just... A mate bond...’

"You are again lost," Gabriel tilted his head as he lowered it a little. "Allow me to mark you and I’ll read your thoughts much more easily," he said.

"I’ve never been pampered the way you do," Amelie admitted. "We made a deal in the beginning, and I didn’t even hold up my end. Sometimes, it feels like I’m just taking advantage of you."

Gabriel’s gaze softened further. "I don’t need your body, Amelie. I need your heart and your companionship. That deal? I was the one who nullified it. You’re not taking advantage of me. Your presence alone is enough to make me feel... everything."

As he spoke, he closed the distance between them, gently brushing his thumb along her cheek and locking their eyes.

"Come, I’ll drop you to the mall, where Kate will be waiting for you," he whispered.

Amelie hummed and turned to the desk. She put the items in her small handbag and turned to him.

"I can work overtime tomorrow," Amelie said.

"Let’s not recall the past," Casaio pronounced. "We are here for a happy occasion," he stated. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
