Semua Bab Rejected, But Trapped By The Alpha King: Bab 361 - Bab 370

Luana was momentarily distracted by his question and replied calmly, "I didn't know. I just picked it randomly."In truth, she did know. He always preferred strong coffee to stay alert before exams.Calvert gave her a thoughtful look. "Have you been studying my preferences?"Luana shook her head. "No, I haven't."Calvert extended his hand. "Creamer?"Without thinking, Luana handed him a small box of creamer.Calvert glanced at the creamer in her hand and raised an eyebrow, a hint of triumph in his expression."Seems like you know I like to add creamer."Luana realized he was testing her and immediately wanted to take the creamer back.But he gently held her hand and said in a warm tone, "Miss Hammond, I need your help."He was holding the coffee and couldn't open the creamer himself, so he gestured with his eyes for her to add it for him.The way he asked her to open the creamer reminded her of Albion, soft

Luana was holding a pillow, her small face resting on it, her long eyelashes covering her clear, innocent eyes.Seeing her deep in sleep, Calvert couldn't bring himself to wake her. Worried that she might be uncomfortable sleeping upright, he bent down and gently picked her up.The moment he held her, several fragmented memories flashed through his mind—as if he had carried her like this before.He looked down at her peaceful, beautiful face and felt, in that instant, that Luana had once belonged to him.But he couldn't remember her. No matter how hard he tried, the memories slipped away, and the deeper he dug, the more his head ached.The pain was like countless worms gnawing at his brain, devouring every fragment of memory until nothing remained.His face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out on his skin, but he held her tightly, unwilling to let go.It felt as though if he released her, he would lose her forever—a feeli

Luana stumbled over her words, trying to explain. "I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to lie to you before. Albion—no, Calvert—he and I, we...""It doesn't concern me."Cline cut her off coldly. "I came to you because I can't stand being lied to. Now that I know the reason, it doesn't matter anymore."His words felt like a bucket of ice water poured over her, chilling her to the bone.All the things she wanted to say to him were stuck in her throat, unable to come out.She forced herself to nod calmly. "Alright. Then... take care, Cline."As soon as she finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes and spilled over. She quickly turned around so he wouldn't see.Behind her, she heard the sound of the door opening and closing. Without a moment's hesitation, he left the lounge.Luana glanced back at the closed door, feeling as if a knife had sliced through her heart, leaving it hollow and aching.Her legs felt weak, an

When Runa saw it was Gehrmann, her expression softened.She reined in her temper and pointed at the security guard, addressing Gehrmann. "Gehrmann, I want to see Cline, but he won't let me in."The guard, seeing that she knew Gehrmann, finally believed her earlier claim.Was this woman really Mr. Moriarty's fiancée?If so, he had just offended the future lady of the Moriarty family!The guard glanced at Gehrmann, who was casually observing the scene, and thought, 'This is it. My high-paying job is gone!'But to his surprise, Gehrmann patted his shoulder and said, "You did it well. I'll give you a bonus at the end of the year.""Gehrmann, how could you—"Runa's words were cut off as Gehrmann coldly interrupted her."He's just following Cline's orders.""Not only do you fail to understand our employees, but you also yell at them. That's incredibly rude."Gehrmann had seen her earlier outburst.

"Mr. Coburn, welcome home."Lois, the maid waiting in the villa, quickly greeted Calvert as he walked in.Calvert nodded and instructed her, "Go get a clean set of pajamas."Lois glanced at the girl in his arms but didn't dare ask any questions. She simply replied, "Yes, sir," and went to find the pajamas.Calvert laid Luana on the guest bedroom bed and looked at her peaceful face. The possessiveness he felt eased a little.He reached out and gently tousled her hair. A softness was in his eyes that he himself didn't even realize.He sat by the bed and watched Luana for a while before letting Lois in to change her clothes.After that, Calvert went to the bathroom to freshen up.When he came back to the guest room, he saw Luana had turned over in her sleep. He breathed a deep sigh of relief.When Luana slept, she was so still it was like she wasn't breathing at all. Calvert had been worried something might happen to her wh
