Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 539

Chapter 539: Once I feel better

Mona, realizing her mistake after Carlos’s correction, finally understood the entire situation and mumbled a reluctant apology to Karmen.

"She’s my cousin and a bit clumsy. I hope you can forgive her, Karmen," Carlos then said, keeping a humble tone, wanting to defuse the tension.

Karmen gazed at Mona, who was pouting slightly while checking the broken items inside the box. "I was at fault too. Please forgive me, Mona."

Mona lowered the box onto the nearest table and walked directly to Carlos, ignoring Karmen’s apology. "Mom wanted to come here, but you didn’t allow her. Are you really coping well, Carlos? I know Grandma’s passing has affected you the most."

"Her absence has created a void in my heart that can’t be filled," Carlos asserted, his tone heavy with grief. "I didn’t allow my aunt to visit because I needed space for myself right now." He lowered himself onto the couch, looking exhausted.

At that moment, Amelie and Gabriel entered the room with Noah.

"Noah, did you enjoy the air and scenery outside?" Amelie asked her son, whose face was resting comfortably on her shoulder. Her other hand was gently soothing his back. She stopped in her tracks, seeing a new, unfamiliar person in the house.

"Are you Amelie?" Mona asked, quickly walking toward her. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Yes. And you?" Amelie waited curiously for her response.

"Mona Starseeker," she answered cheerfully. "Is this your baby? He’s adorable! Can I hold him? My hands are clean."

"Noah is just settling down to sleep now. Maybe later, when he’s awake," Amelie politely but firmly refused to let her hold Noah, prioritizing his rest.

"I see. Babies do get sleep any time, anywhere," Mona stated, though her tone suggested mild disappointment.

"Yes," Amelie answered. "I’ll be back soon after putting Noah into the crib," she added and walked away.

"I want a baby too," Mona said in barely a whisper, a genuine desire hidden beneath her usual boisterousness. She then turned to Carlos, and found he looked more than just troubled; he seemed completely weighed down by grief.

Carlos was her distant cousin, but she always treated him like a brother, though he habitually kept his distance from everyone. Walking over, she sat gently beside him and turned her head to look at his side profile.

"The Witches Organization wanted to have a grand after-burial ceremonial event for Grandma," Mona revealed softly. "They were waiting for your final response."

Karmen, realizing they were shifting into a private family conversation, quietly excused himself, leaving the two of them alone in the living room.

"I don’t like such show-offs," Carlos refused immediately, clearly not wanting to be a part of such a public event.

"It’s not a show-off, Carlos. It’s for Grandma," Mona stated earnestly. "You know how much everyone respected her in our kind, especially within the magical community."
