Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 414

Chapter 414: Life of fulfillment and joy

Karmen reviewed the final report one last time before sending it back to the financial department. He closed his laptop and prepared to head out for a run. Just then, the phone on the table buzzed. He glanced at the screen and frowned at the name displayed.

Sliding his finger across the screen, he brought the device to his ear.

"Yes, Aisha?" he answered.

"I hope I’m not disturbing you," Aisha’s voice asked softly.

"No, I just finished my work," he replied, pushing back his chair. Rising, he walked toward the balcony, the city skyline stretching before him. "Why did you call?"

"Let’s skip meeting tomorrow," she said. "I know our parents arranged a lunch for us, but I can’t make it. I have an important interview, and I want to avoid the lunch."

"Alright," he said, his tone neutral.

"You’re not upset, are you?"

"Why would I be upset?"

There was a pause before Aisha’s voice softened. "It’s just... I feel like I’m doing things that might not be to your liking. Even asking you to lie for me sometimes."

"I don’t mind lying for you," Karmen answered calmly.

"Thank you for helping me," Aisha said softly.

"You don’t have to say it every time we talk," Karmen asserted. "I agreed to this of my own will, so don’t feel burdened. Do whatever you feel is right. I’ll hang up then."

Aisha hummed softly and lowered the phone after the call ended. She stepped toward the balcony and gazed at the night sky, curling her fingers thoughtfully.

’Karmen is a good man. That’s why he’s doing this. I have to clear this interview, get a job, and leave this house. That’s the only way I can have my own freedom and at the same time, free Karmen from doing an act with me.’

A movement caught her attention. She sensed someone at the balcony door and turned around. Lilith stood there, holding a bag.

"Tomorrow will be your first date," Lilith said casually. "Mom bought a dress for you." She stepped closer to Aisha.

Taking the bag, Aisha replied, "I’ll wear it."

"You’re happy, right? You didn’t resist or argue with our parents," Lilith observed, her tone curious.

Aisha smiled faintly.

"It’s to keep you happy. Dad was talking with Mom earlier, saying they would be at peace if you enter a married life soon. Joshua’s demise took a toll on you, put you into depression," Lilith said with a worried gaze.

"Karmen and I’ve a long way to go," Aisha said. "But falling in love with him... It’s going to tough."
