Rejected You , Alpha Chapter 15 Sharing A Bed Kathryns POV : 63 % Finished I could hear the disappointment in Grandmas voice about the fact that I was still not pregnant .
Over the years , she had made countless efforts to get me pregnant , even resorting to induction injections .
Although Grandma didnt explicitly blame me for not being pregnant yet , her words hung over me like a curse , constantly reminding me that I needed to have a child .
However , how could I have a child all by myself ? Wouldnt that also require Lucians cooperation ? He had a mistress outside , simply refusing to be intimate with me .
I felt a pang in my heart , yet I obediently responded to Grandma , Okay .
Right then , Grandpa also came out , his brows furrowed as he reminded Grandma , Theyve come all this way to visit us .
Lets not talk about having a child all the time .
It seemed as though Grandma realized she had misspoken and quickly changed the subject .
Stay here tonight .
Ive prepared your favorite stargazy pie .
All right , Grandma , I said , following them into the house .
After dinner , Lucian and I returned to our room .
That was our first time staying overnight at Tempest Manor since our wedding night .
I felt a bit out of place , but it was Lucian who broke the silence first .
Grandma went for a check up yesterday .
She wasnt feeling well due to her heart condition .
Thank you for agreeing to stay overnight .
I nodded expressionlessly .
Its fine .
Its what I ought to do .
For twenty million , doing so was only right .
I entered the room .
Adorned in stark black and white , the room exuded a certain cold simplicity .
Now , a soft carpet graced the floor .
At that moment , the lights were switched off , and a single candle was lit on the coffee table in the living room .
My steps faltered , my mind uncontrollably flashing back to our wedding night .
The candlelight had also flickered in that manner .
The memory of our first passionate lovemaking was still vivid .
That night , he was like a beast , ravaging me all night long .
I closed my eyes , calming my thoughts for a moment before turning to leave .
I Ill ask the housekeeper for another room .
Lucian frowned .
Do you really want to let Grandma and Grandpa know that were sleeping in separate rooms ? 1/3 20:21 Mon , Feb 24 O Chapter 15 Sharing A Bed Then we should sleep separately .
You can take the couch .
The furrow between Lucians brows deepened , yet he remained silent .
63 % Finished Just as I had finished freshening up and was about to lie down , there came a knock at the door .
In a swift movement , I sat upright , lowering my voice as I asked Lucian , who was lying on the bed , Did you lock the door ? It wouldnt be good if someone saw us sleeping separately .
Lucian raised his voice and called out toward the door Whats the matter ? The housekeeper responded , Old Mrs.
Gandillon has prepared dessert for you .
She asked me to bring you a serving .
If youre not asleep , Ill enter .
With a click , the door lock was opened .
Almost leaping from the couch , Lucian acted just in time as the person outside was about to cross the threshold of the bedroom .
He quickly stashed the blanket from the couch under the bed , lifted my blanket , and slid under it .
The moment he did so , his body accidentally pressed against my hand , and we both couldnt help but let out a stifled moan .
That voice sounded particularly ambiguous , echoing in the middle of the night .
The housekeeper , who was initially heading straight inside , suddenly halted .
With a cautious and tentative tone , she asked , May I come in ? An inscrutable look filled Lucians gaze .
Come in .

1 , too , went with the flow and rolled free from under the blanket .
Brushing my disheveled hair , I was about to leave the bed when the housekeeper hurriedly said , You dont need to get up .
Ill bring it over .
Once youve finished drinking , Ill take it away .
I noticed that the quilt on my side hadnt been properly tucked in .
When the housekeeper walked by , it would give us away .
Steeling myself , I reached under the quilt and firmly grasped Lucian .
I didnt know what I had grabbed , but its hardness was uncomfortably abrasive against my hand .
Just as Lucians indifferent expression visibly twisted for a moment , his face flushed red .
He abruptly sat up from the bed , instinctively reaching out his hand toward the housekeeper .
Give je to me , he demanded .
The housekeeper tactfully handed over the tray .
Lucians hand , which was holding the tray , paused for a moment .
His thin lips curved slightly , almost inadvertently .
Smoothly and effortlessly , he placed the tray on the bedside table on his side .
He then picked up the crystal bowl and scooped a spoonful of dessert , bringing it to my lips .
I was baffled by his intention .
Was he trying to feed me I glanced at the housekeeper who hadnt left yet , aware that Lucian might be putting on a show for her benefit .
However , I was somewhat reluctant to display such intimacy with him in front of others .

Im not really fond of eating in bed .

63 % ▪ Finished The housekeeper was eyeing the dessert in the spoon , her expression clearly stating she wouldnt leave until I ate .
Taking a deep breath , I opened my mouth and consumed the dessert that Lucian had scooped for me .
Lucians actions were slow , and I found it bothersome reached out , took the bowl from him , and finished it in one gulp .
Then , with a provocative raise of my eyebrow toward Lucian , I remarked , Its quite delicious .
Yet , you couldnt taste it .
Inexplicably , Lucian suddenly burst into laughter .
Subsequently , the housekeeper silently slipped out of the room .
Upon seeing Wanda leave , I was eager to get out of bed .
However , before I could even move , Lucian had me pinned down on the bed .
Instinctively , I braced my hand against his chest , creating a barrier between us .
I resisted , saying , Shes gone .
