Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 693

Chapter 693: Dad’s last words to us

Jeniva carefully placed the shimmering star at the very top of the tree, her face lighting up with a radiant smile as she stepped back to admire her work. She let out a joyful clap.

"It’s finished!" she exclaimed, her voice echoing warmly through the quiet residence.

"Yes, it is," Dominick replied, standing back with his arms crossed, a rare look of contentment softening his features.

Jeniva reached for the switch, and a second later, the strings of lights began to shimmer, casting a soft, festive glow across the room.

"Now, this looks even more beautiful," she murmured. She slipped her hands into the pockets of her flared jeans, pulling out her phone. After capturing several angles of the twinkling tree, she immediately sent the photos to her sister.

"I’ll take some photos of you with the tree," Dominick offered, stepping closer. "Give me the phone."

"Thank you." Jeniva handed him the device and moved to stand beside the tree, playfully flashing double victory signs. Dominick captured several shots as she cycled through a few more lighthearted poses.

Once he finished, she reclaimed the phone and scrolled through the gallery. "Your Highness, you actually have a talent for this! You photographed me quite well," Jeniva noted, her smile bright enough to rival the tree lights. She quickly forwarded the new photos to her sister before sliding the phone back into her pocket.

"Would you like me to take some of you now? You should send them to your family," Jeniva suggested, tilting her head.

"I’ll pass. We don’t really do things like that. We aren’t children anymore," Dominick remarked, his tone regaining its usual stoic edge.

"Why? Are you a grandpa then?" Jeniva chuckled, her eyes dancing with mischief.

Dominick let out a low hiss of mock annoyance and took a sudden, looming step toward her. She instinctively tilted back, her gaze fixed on him as she braced herself, though the playful smirk didn’t leave her face. "You have a very sharp tongue," he noted.

He turned to head back toward the stairs when Jeniva called out after him, "I’ll start on dinner for us. Your Highness should wait in his room until it’s ready."

Dominick didn’t say anything and disappeared from her sight soon.

Jeniva moved through the kitchen, starting on the dinner preparations while her phone buzzed in her pocket. Seeing it was her younger sister, Elina, she answered and set it on the counter on speakerphone. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Sis, you’re enjoying Christmas with new friends, aren’t you?" Elina’s voice teased from the other side, sounding upbeat despite the holiday distance. Jeniva hadn’t yet shared the specifics of her work at the residence, so she simply hummed an affirmative as she set a pan onto the stove.

"What about you?" Jeniva asked, drizzling oil into the pan.
