Chapter 419
\nMarked By the Pureblood Alpha (Deanna and Luis) novel Chapter 419<\/p>\n
Luis’s POV:<\/p>\n
At night, I pushed open the bedroom door and found the woman on the bed already asleep.<\/p>\n
She was lying on her side, hugging the sleep pillow she had recently bought. Her blue-and-white cotton nightdress wasn’t sexy at all, but her calves had slipped out from under the blanket, glowing pale in the dim light like fine moonstone, smooth and luminous.<\/p>\n
I softened my steps as I walked over and bent down, my large hand cradling her small foot.<\/p>\n
It was really small, almost completely wrapped by my palm.<\/p>\n
Her ankle was slender, her toes rounded, tinged with a healthy pale pink. Even in her sleep, they curled slightly, like a young animal drawing in its soft pads.<\/p>\n
I set her foot back down and tucked the blanket around her.<\/p>\n
After standing by the bed and watching her quietly for a moment, I bent down, pressed a kiss to her smooth forehead, then neatly placed her slippers by the bed.<\/p>\n
After doing all this, I straightened up and prepared to leave the room.<\/p>\n
“Where are you going?” A hoarse, drowsy voice drifted from behind me, heavy with sleep.<\/p>\n
“Did I wake you?”<\/p>\n
Deanna shook her head.<\/p>\n
“I’m going to the living room. Go back to sleep.”<\/p>\n
Deanna’s POV:<\/p>\n
The light was too dim to see his features clearly. I only felt a pair of gentle eyes smiling as they looked at me.<\/p>\n
Feeling a little awkward, I said, “Stay here tonight.”<\/p>\n
The matter with the photos should be put behind us.<\/p>\n
Hearing that, Luis raised an eyebrow. “Deanna, are you sure?”<\/p>\n
“If you don’t want to, forget it.”<\/p>\n
I turned over stiffly. I had kicked him out last night, only to invite him back today. It really was a bit embarrassing.<\/p>\n
“Heh.”<\/p>\n
A short, low laugh sounded in the quiet room.<\/p>\n
I paused slightly.<\/p>\n
When I first got pregnant, my relationship with Luis was practically on the verge of breaking.<\/p>\n
I hadn’t expected him to know what my early pregnancy had been like at all.<\/p>\n
“How did you know I was picky with food early on?”<\/p>\n
Luis pulled me into his arms, his strong arm wrapping around me. “Deanna, that time you had lunch with me at the office, you felt nauseous.”<\/p>\n
I thought back carefully. Right, back then, he had even snapped at me, saying I was deliberately trying to disgust him.<\/p>\n
I poked the solid arm wrapped around me with my finger.<\/p>\n
“Tsk, Mr. Eaton, how fierce were you to me back then?”<\/p>\n
A barely audible sigh came from behind me. Then a kiss filled with apology and tenderness gently landed on the back of my neck. “Yeah, I’m sorry.<\/p>\n
“At the time, I didn’t know you were pregnant.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2501","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2501","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=2501"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
