Chapter 303
303 – She Stole My Thunder
Kaylee:
Life had never been so perfect. I was finally pregnant, and I was getting all the attention I deserved. Graham had not spoken once about Madeline.
Even when he returned the other day with the bad news that she had refused to help, he only spoke negatively about her.
He said that watching her did not make him feel anything at all. That was a victory for me.
He also claimed that he had no idea why he had been so interested in her before. He said she was just a regular–looking woman. That gave me so much happiness. (1)
Even Lord Eldon was taking good care of me. He had asked his wife to look after my needs.
All the servants and all the omegas were told to entertain me. I spent the entire day being cared for by
everyone.
But I noticed that over the last two days, Graham had been a little stressed.
It was probably because the kids were getting sick, and all the attention was now on him and the other alphas. With that bitch refusing to help him, he was under a lot of pressure.
Still, he managed to be there for me, to take care of me, and to be as sweet as possible.
“Babe, come on, dinner is served, and we are not eating until you arrive,” Graham said as he entered the room, putting on a smile for me.
I gave him my hand, showing him that I would not get up unless he held it.
He laughed at my small action and came over, kissing the back of my hand before helping me up from the bed.
“You know what? You don’t even have to walk,” he uttered as he carried me in his arms. 1
I giggled and hid my face in his chest.
“You are too much,” I joked.
I always felt shy whenever he was so affectionate with me in front of his family.
He took me straight to the dining room, and his father instantly started to laugh at how madly in love he was with me. My father’s cheeks turned red, but he was happy that I was happy.
Once Graham put me down in my seat, he sat next to me and immediately started putting food on my plate.
“I have something to share,” Penny spoke, and we all paused, looking at her.
I had a feeling she had probably gotten a gift for me. That was what they were doing.
There was a ritual Graham had mentioned. At every dinner until I gave birth, each of them would get me a gift.

Yesterday it had been Graham’s turn, and he had given me a diamond pendant. Today, it was Penny’s.
I smiled, rubbing my hands together excitedly, and noticed Graham smiling too as he watched me.
“Okay, what is it this time?” I asked eagerly.
She gave me a comforting smile and handed me a small package, a wrapped gift.
“Oh, I wonder what it is. It’s so light,” I remarked as I shook it gently and held it near my ear to listen for any sound inside. “Why is it so light?” I asked her.
She only giggled, her cheeks turning rosy.
What could it be that was making her so shy?
“What is it?” Lord Eldon asked Penny, since it was strange how light and small the item was.
“Come on, open it and you will know,” Penny insisted, gently punching her husband in the chest. It was playful, but why was she being so strange?
I shared eye contact with Baxter, smiling at him, and he gestured for me to open it quickly.
So I did. I began opening it, wondering if it was a cheque or something. We had enough money, but free things were always nice. 1
However, the moment I opened it, I almost yelped and dropped it on the table. Everyone went quiet, their smiles fading for a second before returning.
“What is it?” Lord Eldon questioned, getting up from his seat to look closer.
“It’s a pregnancy test,” I stated, grabbing a napkin and touching it.
“Is it my pregnancy test?” I asked Penny, confused. When did she save my pregnancy test, and why was she gifting it back to me?
“Maybe you discarded it and she saved it,” Baxter said, elbowing me.
“No, no, no, that’s not what it is,” Penny interrupted, too excited to let us continue. She immediately waved
both her hands at us.
“Actually,” she added, looking down as she gently touched her belly, “I am giving your father a child, and for your baby to have another baby to play with p>
As soon as she said those words, smiles vanished until Lord Eldon jumped up and shouted.
“Yes, yes, really? Oh my Goddess. My beautiful mate, you made me so happy,” he exclaimed, helping her stand and pulling her into a hug. The two of them began to laugh loudly.
