Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 621

Chapter 621: Stay the night with me

"It has been far too long since we shared a dinner date," Casaio said softly. The dim, warm yellow lights of the restaurant created a romantic ambience for them.

"Despite the weight of the crown and the stress you carry, you still find this time for us," Zilia remarked. She focused on her plate, expertly rolling her fork to gather the garlic noodles. She leaned forward to take a bite, unaware for a moment of the sheer devotion in Casaio’s gaze as he watched her.

"I feel as though I don’t take nearly enough time for us," he whispered, his eyes never leaving her face.

Zilia paused, her fork hovering as she looked deeply into his eyes.

"Zilia, we have a long journey ahead of us. We must win the hearts of the people and prove to them, once and for all, that we were never a threat to their peace," Casaio asserted.

"Cas, it is I who must prove that," Zilia corrected gently. "It is I who must show them I was never a harm to this country."

"We are one, are we not?" Casaio countered, reaching out to cover her hand with his. "Let us not dwell on the shadows tonight. Finish your food before it gets cold." He picked up his fork and began to eat again, while Zilia took a small sip of her drink.

Once the meal was finished, Casaio settled the bill and stepped out into the biting chill of the night with Zilia. She hooked her hand securely around his arm, leaning into his warmth, while her other hand clutched her purse. Two bodyguards moved to intercept them, but Casaio gave them a dismissive wave. He told them he required a moment of privacy with his wife, and they dutifully retreated into the darkness.

As they walked along the uneven cobblestone pavement, Casaio broke the silence. "What are your thoughts on bringing a new life into this world? I know it is a desire you carry; you spoke of it to me once before. So much has happened in such a short span of time that I fear I completely neglected the subject."

"Yes. I want a baby," Zilia stated firmly, her voice clear in the night air. She tilted her head toward him, a soft smile playing on her lips. "A symbol of our love."

She squeezed his arm slightly as they walked. "The palace physician performed a medical examination on me last week, and the results were perfect. Your reports returned with good news as well. Physically, nothing is standing in our way."

"Then, we must go for it," Zilia stated with a smile, her head resting against his arm affectionately.

"Aren’t you going to let go of my hand?" Flora asked softly as they came to a halt outside the grand hotel where Zander was staying.

"Stay the night with me," Zander said, his grip tightening just enough to show his reluctance to part. "I promise nothing will happen. I mean... we will just sit and talk. I’m not ready for this evening to end."
