The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 734

Chapter 734: NOT ENOUGH TIME TO GRIEVE (3)

Because Iris spent most of the time sleeping, since she was still recovering from traumatic birth experience, Grace suggested to alternate between giving the baby breast milk and her concoction, since they had to maintain the baby’s health, giving Rora only breast milk wouldn’t be enough.

Therefore, unless it was time for Iris to breastfeed her baby, Rora would be with Cane. She would sleep on her crib in his study room, under Cane’s watch. He would go every now and then to bring her to Iris and waked her up.

The alpha literally didn’t trust anyone to be near his daughter, if it was not an urgent matter that he had to leave Rora, he would be seen with the baby all the time and even if he had to leave, there would be Jace or Ethan by her side and a few more warriors nearby.

Aliana suggested for Cane to look for wet nurse, so they didn’t need to wake Iris up every time the baby needed to eat, but the alpha refused, because that’s not what his mate wanted. He wouldn’t go behind her back and did something she did not approve of.

With that, Aliana dropped the matter and stayed by Iris’s side all the time with Hanna too, she had not yet met with her missy, at least, not when she was awake, since she would be sleeping when she came over. _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}

Meanwhile, Grace would follow the alpha and stay close with the baby, but occasionally she would check on Iris and make her concoction for both mother and daughter.

"Cane, I think you need to give an explanation for the people," Ethan said in low voice because he didn’t want to wake up the little one. All the warriors had to report everything to him and Jace and only the two of them were allowed to enter the study room to relay the message, while Cane writing a few replies for the secret message to his spies.

Cane dropped the quill and stared at Rora’s sleeping face. She didn’t make a fuss and was very calm. She had been sleeping for three hours now and like usually, Cane would come over to check on her, making sure she was breathing...

He felt like he was on edge every time he did this. He dreaded the moment if there was something wrong with her.

"People keep asking whether Iris gave birth to baby girls and if one of the babies didn’t make it, there are a lot of rumors circulated among people about the birth of your daughter, Cane. People wanted to believe the baby is boy." Ethan grimaced, he had tried his best to control the situation, but with everything that was going on, he and Jace simply had a lot on their plates to deal with these rumors.

After all, people gossiped all the time and even though it might look harmless at this moment, but if you let it slide, this problem would snowball out of control like the problem with Iris. The sentiment of people and their hatred toward her started like this and it went out of control.

No matter what, you couldn’t control what people think and what they felt, but you could redirect this matter before it was too late.

That was what Ethan meant and Cane was well aware of it.

"What about the funeral?" Cane asked, he picked up Rora from the crib when the baby woke up, she smacked her lips and opened her eyes for a second, before she closed them again and wriggled her body.

Cane placed the baby against his chest and rubbed her back gently, while she made noises. His focus was on his baby and all little thing she did, it mesmerized him, he felt like she was the center of his world.

Cane was barely sleeping and he was on edge every second of it, thinking something bad might happen to his little one and his mate, not to mention the pressure from the Holy Kingdom, they had been insinuating about the meeting to discuss about the black wisp, though they still held themselves back because of the mourning period, but after the funeral Cane didn’t think the Serafim would continue to be considerate to wait for an answer from him.

"Cane, did you listen to me?" Ethan asked, because Cane didn’t reply to his report about the funeral. He knew when Cane simply ignored him, but still listened to his report, but he also could tell when he spaced out and lately, he had been doing the latter whenever he stared at his daughter. "Cane?"

Cane was staring at Rora’s little fingers that wrapped around his forefinger, while she made baby noises, it seemed fascinated Cane.

"Cane." Ethan nudged his arm, because he couldn’t raise his voice and startled the baby, Cane would surely kick him on the ass if he did that and maybe there would be piles of assignment for him afterwards.

Cane blinked his eyes and then shifted his attention from his baby. "What?"

"Did you listen to my report about the funeral?"
