Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 264

Chapter 264: With my feelings

Idris had dozed off in the backseat. From the front passenger seat, Zilia turned slightly to glance at him, a gentle smile touching her lips. She then shifted her gaze to Casaio, who was silently focused on the road.

"Thank you for taking Idris out for shopping," she said. "It was his first time enjoying something like this."

Casaio didn’t respond. His eyes stayed on the road.

Zilia sensed the distance in his silence. She pressed her lips together and turned away, her gaze falling to the city lights beyond the window.

’So he’s giving me the cold shoulder now... Is this how it’s going to be from now on? Tomorrow, we’ll be together, he said he would mark me. But should I let him? He used to be easier to understand. But I shattered everything in him.’

She closed her eyes briefly, trying to shake off the unease curling in her chest.

"We’re home," Casaio finally said, his voice breaking her thoughts. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Zilia blinked and looked around, realizing they had already reached the building. "Ah," she murmured, quickly getting out of the car. She opened the backseat door to wake Idris, but before she could speak, Casaio appeared beside her.

"Don’t wake him," he said softly. "Just take the shopping bags. I’ll carry Idris."

Zilia hesitated, then nodded. She gathered the bags and walked ahead toward the entrance of the tall building.

Casaio turned back and shut the door of the backseat. After parking the car, he carefully lifted Idris into his arms. Though Idris was a young teenager now, Casaio didn’t see the point in disturbing his rest, not after such a full day.

Idris instinctively curled closer, his arms wrapping around Casaio’s neck.

Carrying him with steady arms, Casaio stepped into the elevator. As the doors closed, he stood in silence, waiting for the floor to arrive. More people walked and greeted him. They were surprised seeing a boy in his arms, but none of them dared asking.

The elevator doors slid open, and Casaio stepped out, Idris still resting in his arms. He approached Zilia’s apartment and rang the bell.

Zilia opened the door almost immediately, as if she had been waiting.

"Why—" she began.

"Shh," Casaio hushed her before stepping inside.

Zilia quietly closed the door behind them and followed. Her steps slowed when she saw Casaio laying Idris carefully on the bed, removing his shoes with practiced ease. The simple, caring gesture made her chest flutter.

Once Idris was tucked in beneath the blanket, Casaio stood and turned to leave the room without sparing Zilia a glance. She hesitated for a moment, then walked in and turned off the lights, leaving only a glow from the bedside lamp.

She found him in the adjacent room, drinking a glass of water.
