**Chapter 311: Get Rid of Her First**<\/p>\n
Deanna felt the weight of Malcolm\u2019s gaze upon her, a steady pressure that urged her to regain her composure. The remnants of her earlier turmoil lingered in her voice, lending it a slightly raspy quality as she replied, \u201cMr. Faulkner, I have pressing matters to attend to at the moment. I promise to express my gratitude for your support at the press conference in a few days.\u201d<\/p>\n
Malcolm, with a determined stride, closed the distance between them, his intense eyes locking onto hers. In that moment, he noticed the subtle redness that framed her eyes, a sign of the emotional storm she was trying to weather.<\/p>\n
Without conscious thought, his fists tightened at his sides, the urge to protect her swelling within him. \u201cDeanna,\u201d he said, his voice low but firm, \u201che doesn\u2019t deserve your love.\u201d<\/p>\n
Taking a deep breath, he steeled himself, as if summoning every ounce of courage within him. \u201cI can\u2019t keep this to myself any longer. I\u2019m going to say it again: I want to take care of you and the baby. Please, just give me a chance.\u201d<\/p>\n
His words hung in the air, heavy with unspoken emotions. \u201cWhenever you need me, I\u2019ll be here for you. And if you\u2019re willing, we can solidify our mate bond right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Deanna\u2019s heart raced, caught off guard by his sudden declaration of love amidst the chaos. She froze, her mind racing, uncertain of how to respond to such an unexpected confession.<\/p>\n
In an impulsive moment, Malcolm reached out, yearning to pull her into his embrace, to offer her the comfort he so desperately wished to provide. But just as his hands were about to envelop her, Deanna instinctively stepped back, creating a chasm of space between them.<\/p>\n
Malcolm\u2019s hand hovered awkwardly in the air, a symbol of his thwarted intentions. Frustration bubbled within him, and he couldn\u2019t help but voice his thoughts, \u201cWhen you needed him the most, he still didn\u2019t show up. Why can\u2019t you let him go?\u201d<\/p>\n
Deanna met his gaze, her expression resolute yet filled with an underlying sadness. \u201cMr. Faulkner, even if Luis and I were no longer together, I wouldn\u2019t choose a mate lightly. That wouldn\u2019t be fair to you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t mind,\u201d Malcolm insisted, his eyes unwavering, focused solely on the fragile Omega before him. He could see the strength she was mustering, the way she forced herself to maintain her composure despite the turmoil swirling within her. It pierced his heart, igniting a fierce instinct to protect her, to shield her from the world that had already inflicted so much pain.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t care if you\u2019re harsh with me, Deanna. I just want a chance,\u201d he pleaded, reaching out once more, this time to place a gentle hand on her shoulder.<\/p>\n
Deanna frowned, a flicker of discomfort crossing her features. Recognizing his misstep, Malcolm quickly withdrew his hand, his cheeks flushed with embarrassment. \u201cI\u2019m sorry. I let my emotions get the better of me today.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alina, ever the supportive friend, gently massaged Ruth\u2019s back, her voice a soothing whisper. \u201cMrs. Eaton, the baby in Deanna\u2019s womb is still an Alpha\u2019s child. Aren\u2019t you concerned that pushing her away like this might weaken the Mooncrown Pack\u2019s bloodline?\u201d<\/p>\n
Ruth narrowed her eyes, her mind racing with thoughts. \u201cYou don\u2019t understand,\u201d she replied, her voice cold and calculating. \u201cLuis is completely infatuated with that woman. I must eliminate her first before anything else can be addressed. As for the baby\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
A cruel glint flashed in Ruth\u2019s eyes, revealing her true intentions. \u201cOnce it\u2019s born, taking the child will be a simple matter.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alina nodded in agreement, a sly smile creeping onto her lips. \u201cYou\u2019re absolutely right, Mrs. Eaton. You always have a way of seeing the bigger picture.\u201d<\/p>\n
At that moment, a servant entered the room, bowing slightly as he delivered his message. \u201cMrs. Eaton, Zelena has arrived.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ruth took a slow, deliberate sip of her coffee, her demeanor calm and collected. \u201cLet her in,\u201d she instructed, her voice steady, a predatory glint in her eye as she prepared to set her plans into motion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2393","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2393","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
