Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 254

Chapter 254: Begin your real education

"Why are you staring at me like that? I’ve noticed it for a while now. Shouldn’t you be focusing on your food?" Amelie asked softly, lifting a glass of water to her lips.

Gabriel’s fingers delicately held the stem of the wine glass. He swirled the red liquid slowly, his eyes never leaving her face.

"It’s just... it’s been a long time since we’ve shared a dinner like this," he replied, his voice laced with warmth. He took a slow sip, savoring the moment more than the wine.

Amelie smiled faintly, her gaze drifting toward the wide glass windows. The moonlight spilled gently across the landscape outside.

"It looks so beautiful tonight," she murmured.

Gabriel watched at her serene face.

’Why did my mother want to harm you, Amelie?’ he thought. ’Even though she knew the pendant you wear would shield you, she still went that far. What is she hiding? You’ve never wished harm on anyone. All you ever wanted was for me and her to reconcile. What if I hadn’t arrived in time that day?’

His thoughts were interrupted by the soft brush of her fingers on his hand.

Amelie gently traced the rim of the wedding band on his fourth finger.

"I loved the food," she said. "You took such care to ensure nothing had a strong aroma. It means a lot to me."

Gabriel turned his hand over and clasped hers with tender strength.

"That’s the least I could do, Ame. You and the pup deserve every bit of comfort," he said, glancing down at her empty plate with a smile of satisfaction.

Amelie’s eyes twinkled, then she leaned in slightly.

"Since the baby’s going to be a boy... what should we name him?"

Gabriel tilted his head in thought, then chuckled.

"Well, we’ve been calling him Noa so often... what if we just go with Noah? Noah Sinclair."

He said the name aloud, as if testing how it felt in the air.

A spark lit Amelie’s eyes. Her heart skipped a beat at the sound of it, spoken from Gabriel’s lips, it felt right. A strange warmth flooded her chest.

And then she felt it.

A flutter. A nudge.

A gentle stir deep inside her womb.

"Did you feel that?" Gabriel asked instantly, his eyes widening.

Amelie nodded, awe spreading across her face.

"Yes... he responded," she whispered.

Gabriel exhaled a breath of disbelief and joy.

"You see?" he murmured. "He already knows we’re his parents. He accepts me as his father."
