Semua Bab The Alpha Prince's Purchased Maid: Bab 381 - Bab 390

Since I wasn’t someone who liked to boast about my personal love life, it took Duchess Flavia a couple of probing questions to get me talking. “Wow! I have to say that you've made so much progress since the last time that we had our dance lesson together. Congratulations, Mila!” The Duchess congratulated me happily when I told her that I managed to confess my love to the prince. “Thank you so much. I doubt it that I would have had the courage back then to do something like this. It means the world to me to hear the prince say that he loves me too,” I confess to her shyly. “This is why I envy all younger people. Always so sweet and so in love!” the duchess said teasingly as she clapped her hands together. I could sense that she was genuinely happy for Prince Leonard and myself. “Lady Regina and Prince Florian also have a baby on the way,” I said excitedly. “Let’s not talk about that until the baby is born, if it even gets born…” the Duchess said darkly before letting out a laugh.

“Since you haven’t gotten pregnant after spending all this time with my brother, I'm suggesting that we should try mating. Your body might not have a problem but you might not be compatible with him, anyways, there's no harm in us giving it a try, right?” Prince Darius suggested as he looked directly at me without any shame. If I couldn't hear his words, I would be tempted to think that he was merely inviting me out for a casual stroll in the garden in the afternoon. I was too shocked to speak but the loud slamming sound caught my attention when Prince Leonard slammed his fist down on the table. His expression of anger towards his brother's suggestion was extremely clear, and I was glad that I didn't have to be the one to react towards Prince Darius' scandalous suggestion. “What are you getting so angry about? It's normal for us to pass her around. If she's not going to be productive while she's with you, you might as well give me a try, or would you rather Florian take over instead

I reached for Jessie’s hand and held it as we sat side by side outside the clinic while we waited for news about Selena's condition. I wasn't sure if her hand was trembling in mine or if my hand was the one that was trembling. We sat together in silence as time seemed to crawl by.In the end, Jessie and I were informed by one of the nurses that we were not allowed to visit Selena. When I asked her about Selena's condition, all the nurse would say was that she needed time to rest to recover. I returned to Prince Leonard's palace with a heavy heart and spent a sleepless night worrying about Selena.“You should eat some food or else you're going to be joining your friend at the clinic,” Prince Leonard said quite sternly as he stared directly at me from across the dining table. He must have realized how I haven't touched any of the food since our meal started. It felt wrong for me to eat when I knew that Selena was going through such a tough time. On top of that, I had completely lost al

It seemed that I could no longer hold in the anger that was burning deep inside of me, and I had to speak up for my friend. Clearly Selena was too scared to speak up for herself or to do anything that would further anger Prince Darius; however, I just couldn't let this slide. The way he acted was too insensitive and uncaring and it also made me feel like he was trying to put the blame on Selena. “Pregnancies like these come with risks of their own and that is why it isn't unbelievable or completely unexpected that she might lose the child due to incompatibility issues and other complications,” Prince Darius replied matter-of-factly. I knew that his answer wasn't strictly incorrect but it wasn't the answer that I was looking for. “Please don't say things like that, can't you see how much Selena is suffering already?” I asked accusingly. “I can see that she is sad, but I also know that she will get over it with time,” Prince Darius replied smoothly before he turned to look down at S

“But what about…” I began asking before Prince Leonard shook his head slightly as if to brush off my concerns. “Don't worry about anything and just leave this in my hands. I'll make sure to talk to Darius about this. As I told you before, I'm sure that he is worried about Selena in his own way and also wishes her for the best even though he doesn't think that they should be together. If I tell him that this is what she has always wanted to do, I'm sure that we can both find a way to ensure that she can pursue her dreams,” Prince Leonard said with conviction. His confidence gave me hope and I could finally see the light at the end of the tunnel for Selena and her future. “That would mean the world to me,” I told him honestly. “And it would mean the world to me if you could just go to sleep and stop worrying now,” Prince Leonard said before he leaned in to place a soft kiss on the tip of my nose. It felt like his gentle loving gesture contained magic because I could feel all of my
