Chapter 438
Chapter 438:
Molly wasn’t weakened by her pregnancy?
Surprised, I couldn’t help but speculate aloud, “Could Molly possibly be a white wolf?”
Clayton immediately dismissed the idea. “Absolutely not. White wolves are forbidden creatures. If Molly were one, my father would have had her executed.”
The mere thought of such a possibility sent a chill through me, yet I maintained my composure and pressed on. “If Molly isn’t a white wolf, then why hasn’t she shown any weakness?”
“I’m not sure,” he admitted. Clayton massaged his forehead, looking troubled. “This fact is exactly why my father holds Molly in such high regard. It’s also…”
“Why he demanded that you apologize to her without looking into the details?” I nodded, understanding the situation better now.
Indeed, a woman carrying the child of a Lycan prince and showing no signs of weakness would be invaluable to the Lycan lineage. It made sense why Leonardo held Molly in such high esteem.
Engrossed in our conversation, we had unknowingly reached my home.
Standing at the entrance, I hesitated, unsure if I should invite Clayton inside. After a brief pause, I muttered, “Thank you, Your Highness. Perhaps it’s time for you to return.”
“Makenna…” Clayton’s voice trailed. His silver hair fell softly across his forehead, and his eyes reflected a touch of loneliness and vulnerability. “Makenna, why must we keep this distance between us?”
His question left me speechless, unsure of what to say. Suddenly, Clayton pulled me close into his arms and said emotionally, “Makenna, I miss you terribly. Please, don’t leave me…”
“Your Highness…” My heart raced, and, overcome with my own longing, I wrapped my arms tightly around him.

Just then, Alice’s voice came from inside the house. “Why isn’t Makenna back yet? No! I must go find her!”
Immediately after she said this, the door burst open with a loud “bang.”
Startled, I instinctively stepped back from Clayton. My cheeks burned red, and my hands fidgeted nervously. Clayton, equally taken aback, cleared his throat softly.
Alice, standing at the doorway, appeared utterly shocked to find Clayton and me in an embrace. Her eyes were wide, and she looked even more embarrassed than us.
There we stood, frozen, exchanging awkward glances.
Makenna’s POV:
“Ha-ha… um…” Alice finally reacted, bursting into a nervous giggle. “I just remembered I have something I need to sort out… I’ll leave you two alone. Carry on, please.”
As she spoke, Alice grabbed Evie, who was still bewildered, and they both hurried away. I watched them go, feeling my cheeks heat up in embarrassment, unsure of what to do next.
Clayton caught my gaze and let out a chuckle. He affectionately ruffled my hair and asked softly, “Makenna, would you like to invite me in? I can cook for you.”
It felt like ages since Clayton and I had shared a meal just between us. With that thought, I bashfully agreed and welcomed Clayton inside.
Once in the kitchen, Clayton effortlessly began to prepare our meal. I busied myself by lending him a hand. Looking at his tall, attractive form, I felt my heart brim with warmth. As the kitchen’s temperature gradually rose, I noticed sweat forming on Clayton’s forehead. I immediately rose on my tiptoes and gently wiped the sweat.
