Chapter 719 The Weight of Three

    “Why did you only juste back-b?/bb” /b

    Her voice carried a thick nasal sound–proof she had cried long before falling asleep.

    Abraham sighed helplessly, lifting the nket and pulling her into his arms. “Such a delicate little thing.”

    “Abraham…”

    “Hm?!”

    The warning in his tone made Ste quickly change, “Honey-”

    Her voice was full of grievance.

    Pressing her head to his chest, Abraham asked, “You get one package and immediately start doubting me?”

    “I…”

    What else could she do? The sight of it had scrambled her mind.

    He didn’t exin himself, only asked, “Have you thought it through now?”

    “Hm?b” /b

    “On my way back, I flew hours on a direct route. Thought it through yet?”

    The moment he’d gotten the message, Abraham had rushed home, taking the fastest jet avable.

    Ste rubbed her head against him like a child too wronged for words.

    Abraham bent and kissed her, firm and demanding.

    She struggled–until he pinned her restless hands and stole her breath away.

    Only when she was gasping did he release her. “You little fool.”

    Her eyes shone with tears, her face all wounded innocence, making his heart ache even as he

    scolded her.

    “There’s nothing,” he said softly. “Understand?”

    “And that package?”

    :

    “Mother has already sent people to find the culprit. She’ll take care of it.”

    The message was clear: Abraham himself wouldn’t interfere.

    “You won’t handle it?” Ste whispered.

    “What’s there for me to handle? It has nothing to do with me.”

    His calm dismissal soothed her. At least that proved the matter truly had nothing to do with

    him.

    Seeing her pout in silence, Abraham ruffled her hair. “You awake now? Or want to sleep some more?”

    “I don’t want to sleep.”

    “You didn’t eat dinner, did you?”

    Her head ducked guiltily. After that package arrived, her anger had spoiled her appetite entirely.

    She did trust him—she only hated that other women still hadn’t given up.

    She knew how many admired him in Falvaria. But knowing didn’t make it sting less.

    Abraham sighed, scooping her up.

    Startled, she threw her arms around his neck. “What are you doing?”

    “Taking you to eat.”

    “I’m not hungry.”

    “You’re feeding three babies. If you don’t eat, your body won’t hold up. Be good.”

    Hearing him repeat “three babies” with such steady concern, Ste’s mood lightened, warmth returning to her chest.

    The butler’s heart unclenched when he saw Abraham carrying Ste downstairs. At least she’d

    eat now.

    Madam Evelyn, seeing them, finally reined in her temper. “Ste, you didn’t touch what I sent up earlier.”

    Mentioning the untouched food only made Ste hide her face against Abraham’s chest.

    Feeling the heat of her cheek, Abraham chuckled. “Don’t scold her. She’s upset, but it’s your fault–what kind of mess did you stir up outside for her to suffer like this?b” /b

    Abraham: “…”

    He hadn’t stirred anything!

    Still, he couldn’t deny it–crisis had struck, and worst of all, while Ste was carrying triplets.

    To Evelyn, it felt like the sky itself had copsed.

    For two years Ste had been lost to them, and once she’d been found, Evelyn had vowed no one would ever harm her again.

    And yet, here in Dawson Castle itself, someone had dared provoke her.

    Abraham coaxed her into eating, and once she finally did, Evelyn said, “You’re not leaving the house for a while.”

    Someone had deliberately timed the delivery for when Abraham was away.

    That meant someone had eyes on him—and malice enough to strike at Ste.

    Abraham raised a brow. “And what about the separate rooms?”

    Ever since Evelyn’s return, she had pushed for them to sleep apart. With Ste carrying three, she feared too much closeness would risk the pregnancy.

    But after this incident…

    “Forget it. Stay with her.”

    Who knew how many of the dozens of servants in the castle were already bought as spies?

    If she forced them apart now, the enemy would only strike harder.

    No–better to keep ithem /iitogether/ii, /iiand /iidig /iithe /iitraitors /iiout/i.

    Evelyn swept into the study with the butler in tow.

    “Find them,” she ordered, voice cold as a de. “Whoever inside this house betrayed us–drag

    them out.”
