Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 476

Chapter 476: With an unserious commitment

As Amelie stepped back into her private chamber with Noah, she was met with an unexpected, yet welcome, sight of Gabriel, who had returned too.

"Da!" The single word, a pure expression of delight, slipped from the little pup’s lips the moment his eyes landed on his father.

A warm smile touched Gabriel’s mouth. "Yes, Daddy is back," he murmured, instantly closing the distance between them. He gathered Noah into his big arms. The pup’s tiny hands instinctively reached up, cupping Gabriel’s cheeks as he gurgled happily, finding immense, simple joy in the contact.

Gabriel kept his voice low, his eyes meeting Amelie’s over Noah’s head. "I will be leaving this evening," he revealed. "You have to be on alert until I return. Do not accept anything from anyone, especially objects like jewelry or gifts. And most importantly, do not let any unfamiliar people near you or Noah."

Amelie hummed, telling him not to worry.

Amelie watched the sweet interaction between father and son for a moment, then gently steered the conversation back to her worry. "Did you talk to Sage yesterday?" she asked.

Gabriel shifted his attention, still holding Noah securely. "Huh? We only talked when you and Kate were together," he replied, watching Noah’s tiny fingers busy themselves with the buttons on his shirt. His brow furrowed slightly. "Did something happen?"

"You tell me if Sage told you something odd," Amelie said, her tone laced with worry. "Kate and I were conversing, and he heard it. He completely misunderstood Kate." A sigh escaped her. "Last night, they even argued, and Sage said some harsh words to her."

Gabriel looked displeased. "He was talking about Kate not trusting him. I told him about the mess Nick fell into." He frowned, his voice taking on a warning edge. "Let them solve it on their own. Why are you getting involved?" He clearly did not want Amelie intervening, especially in his sister Katelyn’s messy relationship.

"Kate is my friend. She was crying earlier," Amelie pronounced, her voice soft with sympathy. "I’ve never seen her this upset before."

"Da," Noah called out again, successfully pulling Gabriel’s attention back to him.

"Yes, boy?" Gabriel focused his gaze on the little one, a warm smile spreading across his face. He kissed the top of Noah’s head, then returned his stern gaze to Amelie. "You shouldn’t help her," he reiterated. "If anything goes wrong, Kate will blame you. I understand you’re trying to be a good friend, but Kate tends to blame others if things don’t go her way."

Amelie’s temper flared instantly, her brow arching in defensive fury. "Why do you speak so ill of her? Shouldn’t you protect your sister and stand for her?" she challenged.

"Whenever I bring up Kate, you only speak negatively. She’s your youngest sibling; they do tend to make more mistakes than the elder ones. But I don’t think Kate was wrong this time." She leaned in slightly, emphasizing her point. "Sage was involved with many women. What if they trouble Kate in the future? Or his stepmother does something to her? Katelyn is only being cautious."
