Chapter 354

Chapter 354:

The pleasure built with every gentle rock of his hips, until I was trembling, desperate for him to go deeper, harder—

“Your Highness—!” My gasp dissolved into a whimper as he claimed my lips, his body pinning me to the mattress. With one relentless push, he buried himself to the hilt, and we lost ourselves completely in the storm.

The intimacy with Clayton seemed to ease some of the turmoil in my heart. Completely exhausted, I fell into a deep, peaceful sleep in his arms.

The following morning, Clayton wore an apron and had prepared a special breakfast for me. Sitting at the table, he slid a plate toward me with a warm smile and said softly, “Try the omelet I made.”

I picked up a piece lightly and tasted it. The omelet was soft and flavorful, and I nodded appreciatively.

After breakfast, I began to worry about being away from Alice for too long, so I suggested returning to the hospital. Clayton seemed reluctant to see me leave, but he understood my resolve and accompanied me.

As we approached the entrance of the ward, we were met by Molly. Elegantly made up and wearing high heels, she walked toward us. Her expression briefly darkened when she noticed Clayton and me arm in arm, but she quickly masked it with a radiant smile.

“Good morning, Your Highness, Makenna,” she greeted.

I couldn’t hide my surprise. “Molly, what are you doing here?”

Her attention had initially been on Clayton, but my voice drew her gaze to me. She smiled and replied, “I heard about your pregnancy and wanted to check on you.”

I thanked her graciously. “Thank you for your concern. I’m doing well.”

Hearing this, Molly’s smile widened as she handed me some bags. “I’ve brought you some health supplements that are beneficial for expectant mothers. Please take them.”

It was only then that I noticed the weight of the bags. Before I could refuse, she had already placed them in my arms. They were so heavy that I leaned forward, struggling to hold them.

Clayton immediately noticed and came over to relieve me of the burden. He signaled to the soldiers behind him and calmly instructed, “Take these for a safety check to ensure they’re safe for Makenna.”

Molly’s smile froze, and she frowned for a moment.

I couldn’t help but chuckle and shake my head at Clayton’s cautiousness. Despite my reservations, I doubted Molly would do anything reckless with the supplements. Besides, I wouldn’t eat anything she gave me without ensuring it was safe first.

I softly tugged at the corner of Clayton’s clothes, trying to reassure him that the precautions were unnecessary. However, he decisively gestured for the soldiers to proceed with the inspection.

Then, Clayton looked at me with gentle eyes and said softly, “Your health is important right now. We can’t afford any mistakes.”

“I understand,” I replied, smiling warmly, touched by his concern.

Molly’s expression twisted into even more discomfort at Clayton’s protective words. She forced a strained smile and added hesitantly, “Indeed, it’s best to be careful. Your Highness, that is very thoughtful.”

Once Clayton’s men had thoroughly checked the supplements and confirmed they were safe, Clayton breathed a sigh of relief and arranged for the items to be delivered to my residence.
