Alpha King’s pregnant Ex-Luna

219



However, Alpha Kilian grabbed her. It was as though he had expected her to say that, for he was neither peeved nor irritated. Instead, the corners of his mouth curved upward. “You said it wasn’t just because of me. Does that mean that I’m also part of the reason, even if a little?” Even a smidge was enough to make him happy. At the sight of the smile playing on his lips, Nelly was stunned for a moment. Did I say that? “Is that right?” At that moment, Alpha Kilian was like a child lacking love, anxiously requiring the slightest bit of affirmation from her. His hopeful gaze had one unable to say anything to the contrary.

Nelly swept a gaze over him. “You can think whatever you want.” With that, she strode off. As Alpha Kilian stared at her back, the corners of his mouth curved into a grin. He knew that it was already a fantastic answer. For Nelly, uttering such a remark was already a great affirmation to him. At that thought, his grin widened as he went after her.

When Nelly reached the car, Alpha Kilian immediately stepped forward and opened the door attentively. Just as she was about to get into the vehicle, she abruptly noticed the latter’s hand. It was trembling. “What’s wrong with you?” she questioned, eyeing him. Right then, Alpha Kilian glanced at his hand as well. “Nothing’s wrong. I was too nervous on my way here, afraid that something would happen to you. But I’m fine now.” While saying that, he withdrew his hand smilingly.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Nelly was taken aback. She cast a look at him before getting into the car with a thoughtful expression on her face. Alpha Kilian circled over and climbed into the car as well. During the drive back, Nelly remained silent. As Alpha Kilian drove, he glanced at her every so often. In truth, he long since had a countermeasure even if she hadn’t made a move. In fact, it could be said that things only developed thus far because he had allowed it. However, he never thought that she would step forward to help him. Although his plan had been disrupted, he was still in a pretty good mood. He felt very much protected. The mere thought of it had him feeling much more joyful.

“Nelly.” Hearing Alpha Kilian addressing her thus, Nelly frowned in displeasure. “What is it?” “Nothing. It just feels great to be protected by you.” Nelly was struck dumb. Alpha Kilian looked at her, the smile on his lips growing increasingly wider. Conversely, Nelly’s brows were furrowed.

Hmm, his moods are really unpredictable. He just told me a while ago not to do such a dangerous thing for his sake, but now, he’s all smiles. “Don’t mention it.” Nevertheless, Alpha Kilian remained smiling, obviously in a good mood. Just then, a phone call from Fabian came in. “Mr. Morris, Mr. Landry called for a shareholder’s meeting to impeach you. Everyone has arrived now.” Alpha Kilian’s eyes narrowed a fraction. “Got it.” “So…” “I’ll be there in twenty minutes.” “Okay.” After hanging up the phone, Alpha Kilian turned to Nelly. “Do you have anything else to do today?” Nelly shook her head. “If so, how about making a trip to my office with me? When the matter has been resolved, we’ll go for lunch together!” Alpha Kilian ventured. “You’re still in the mood to eat now?” Nelly had heard everything Fabian said on the phone earlier. However, Alpha Kilian merely smiled nonchalantly. “Nothing is as important as having lunch with you.” Since he had said as much, Nelly couldn’t say anything else. Arching an eyebrow, she nodded. “Sure!”

The instant Alpha Kilian heard that, the corners of his lips turned up. Then, he accelerated and sped toward his office. That was the first time Nelly entered Alpha Kilian’s office with him. As soon as they stepped into the lobby, numerous gazes fell on them. After all, everyone had learned of Nelly’s existence during the company’s anniversary banquet a few days ago. It was wholly unexpected, especially since they even had children together already. That established her position as the mistress of Morris Corporation. As such, no one would dare show her any disrespect or impudence. “Mr. and Mrs. Morris.” Upon seeing them, some employees greeted them. When Alpha Kilian heard that, he nodded in utter delight. Nelly, on the other hand, merely frowned slightly after hearing that.

Nonetheless, she said nothing since she wasn’t planning on stepping forward and explaining things to them one by one. Only after they had entered the elevator did she turn to Alpha Kilian. “You’re going to allow them to continue misunderstanding things?” “Misunderstand what?” Alpha Kilian inquired in feigned ignorance. Nelly stared at him. “If this continues, it’ll be rather difficult for you to seek other women out!” In response, Alpha Kilian nodded. “Indeed. There are less women throwing themselves at me now.” “It’s not too late if you regret it now!” Alpha Kilian turned to her. “Regret? I now regret not having publicized it earlier!” Nelly was rendered speechless. “Also, I don’t plan on seeking out other women besides you in this lifetime,” Alpha Kilian enunciated with his eyes fixated on her.

Gazing at him, Nelly merely pursed her lips and kept quiet. At that exact moment, the elevator doors opened. Alpha Kilian looked at her. “Let’s go.” He stepped out first, and Nelly followed behind him. By then, Fabian was already frantic beyond words. He paced back and forth in front of the office door. The moment he saw Alpha Kilian, his eyes lit up. “You’re finally here, Mr. Morris!” When he spotted Nelly, he greeted, “Ms. Jackson.” Nelly nodded in acknowledgment. “Has everyone arrived?” Alpha Kilian asked.

The instant he stepped into the office, it was as though he became someone else altogether, turning somber in the blink of an eye. “Yes, they’re all here, not a single one absent,” Fabian answered. In response, Alpha Kilian nodded. He then glanced back over his shoulder at Nelly. “Go and wait for me in my office for a while. I’ll be back very soon.” Nelly nodded. Alpha Kilian flashed her a smile before striding toward the conference room, Fabian following behind him. “There’s no need to follow me. Take good care of Nelly.” Nodding, Fabian replied, “Understood.” Alpha Kilian marched toward the conference room, his steps steady and his expression arrogant. He appeared like a king who looked down on everyone and everything. As Nelly gazed at his back, her eyes went unfocused. Sure enough, he’s incredibly outstanding!
