Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 379

Chapter 379: Sage will forgive you

Amelie struggled to fasten the hooks of her dress behind her neck and sighed in frustration when it slipped from her fingers again. She glanced toward the door, silently hoping Gabriel would return soon.

As if on cue, the doors opened and Gabriel stepped inside.

"Please," she murmured, "help me with the hook."

Without a word, Gabriel crossed the room and stood behind her. He gently swept her hair over one shoulder, his fingers brushing against her skin, before fastening the hooks at the nape of her neck. When their eyes met in the mirror, his arms slipped naturally around her waist, pulling her into the warmth of his embrace.

"The gown isn’t too heavy, is it?" he asked softly, his chin almost grazing her temple.

Amelie shook her head, a small smile curving her lips. "No. Surprisingly, it feels lighter than most gowns I’ve worn in the past."

Gabriel pressed a lingering kiss to her bare shoulder, his hands instinctively coming to rest on the gentle curve of her rounded belly.

"That’s because I asked the designer to keep everything in mind," he murmured, tilting his head so he could admire her side profile in the mirror. "Every detail was chosen for your comfort."

She smiled warmly and turned to face him, her fingers carefully adjusting the brooch on his blazer. In a soft whisper, Amelie said, "You look too handsome tonight. It suddenly reminds me of our wedding."

Gabriel’s lips curved into a teasing smirk. "Shall we marry once more?"

Amelie let out a soft laugh, shaking her head, but her amusement stilled when she felt his hand gently covering hers.

"If you feel tired at any point, tell me," Gabriel said in a tender tone. "We’ll return to the room. Your comfort matters the most."

"I know," Amelie replied, her smile lingering. "But I plan to enjoy the whole night until it’s over." A playful gleam entered her eyes. "By the way, have you prepared your speech?"

Gabriel exhaled a small chuckle. "I’ll say whatever comes to my mind in that moment."

"You should’ve practiced at least once," she teased, tilting her head at him.

"I believe in immediate actions," he affirmed with quiet confidence. Then, his gaze lowered, pausing at her neckline. A faint frown tugged at his brow. "Your neck looks empty..."

"I was going to wear the necklace your mother sent," Amelie said.

Gabriel’s eyes promptly shifted to the vanity table. "I’ll help you with it." He carefully picked up the necklace and draped it around her neck.

Amelie turned toward the mirror, her fingertips brushing lightly over the diamonds. "Beautiful," she murmured, her eyes shimmering with admiration.

"Well, you’re beautiful," Gabriel whispered. He leaned closer, pressing a tender kiss just below her ear, then pulled back with a hushed breath. "I’d better stop here," he muttered to himself, forcing a step away.

Amelie turned toward him, her smile gentle as she held out her hand. "Let’s go."
