Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 672

Chapter 672: Should I call a doctor?

"You don’t have to wash the dishes," Aisha said, stepping firmly between Karmen and the sink. "I’ve already prepared the guest room for you. Go and get some rest." She didn’t wait for an answer, gently peeling the rubber gloves from his hands and pulling them onto her own.

Karmen lingered for a moment, then stepped back and retreated from the kitchen. Instead of heading to his room, he sat on the living room sofa, waiting for her to finish.

He pulled out his phone, scanning the notifications on his lock screen. Most were trivial, but he opened a chat and sent a quick message to Carlos.

"Did you land safely?"

He didn’t expect an instant response, but the reply came back almost immediately.

"Yes. Thanks for asking."

Karmen hesitated, his thumb hovering over the screen. He wanted to tell Carlos that he had actually taken the initiative this time, but he stopped himself. Carlos was already dealing with enough of his own problems, and Karmen didn’t want to burden him with his personal life right now.

"Good night," Karmen typed, hitting send before sliding the phone back into his pocket.

"Why didn’t you go to bed?" Aisha’s voice startled him. He turned to find her standing at the edge of the living room, drying her hands.

"I was just about to," Karmen replied, quickly rising to his feet to hide his hesitation.

"It’s awkward, isn’t it?" Aisha asked, a small, knowing smile playing on her lips as she took in the quiet tension of the house. Before he could respond, her expression turned serious. "By the way, I’m going to the police station with you in the morning."

"You don’t have to do that," Karmen stated firmly. He didn’t want her involved in whatever mess awaited him there.

"No," Aisha countered. "I must go. And you taught me to face my problems and fight them like a brave person."

Karmen nodded, a small smile breaking through his earlier hesitation. He decided not to argue with her further.

"Let’s go on our first date tomorrow. You’re off, right?" he asked.

"Yes, it’s an off day," Aisha replied, her eyes brightening. "Where are you taking me?"

"I have a few places in mind. I’ll tell you in the morning," Karmen answered, keeping the surprise intact. "Then, I’ll head to bed." He gestured toward the guest room. "Good night."

He brushed past her as he entered the room and closed the door behind him.

Aisha retreated to her own room. As she brushed her teeth, her mind replayed the day’s events, how Karmen had stepped in to save her, followed by the sudden honesty of him laying his heart bare. She rinsed her mouth and returned to her bedroom.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, she stared at the floor, lost in thought. ’I never even considered looking at another man,’ she contemplated. ’I don’t want to hurt Karmen. He’s too nice, too kind. Will I be able to give him what he truly desires?’

Then, she recalled it was for herself also. She took a deep breath and murmured to herself, "I will use this chance well."

Casaio stepped out of the hot shower, a bathrobe wrapped around him and a dry towel draped over his head. He found Zilia still buried under the covers, clearly worn out from the previous day’s activities. Moving to the edge of the bed, he reached out to caress her hair before leaning down to press a soft kiss against her forehead.

"Cas... I have to shower, too," Zilia managed to say, her breath hitching as his proximity made it difficult to maintain her resolve. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
