?Chapter 541:


    After I finished getting ready, I headed to the banquet hall. The hall bustled with activity as the party was about to begin. The moment I entered, everyone turned to look at me. Their gazes immediately fell on my swollen belly, and the curious stares made me uneasy.


    Fortunately, yton appeared just then. He approached with a frown.


    “Why are you here? The hall is crowded. We don’t want somebody bumping into you.”


    I forced a smile. “I needed a change of scenery, so I decided to attend.”


    yton shook his head resignedly and guided me to a corner. He called a servant and asked for a ss of milk for me.


    “Next time, if you need a change of scenery, tell me and I’ll take you out. The hall is too crowded. Drink your milk and then head back to your ce.”


    I bit my lip, hesitating. Should I tell yton the truth—that Antoni had coerced me intoing?


    Before I could decide, Bryan’s voice interrupted.


    “Makenna is pregnant with my child, yton, so you don’t have to worry about her.”


    He abruptly pulled me to his side, staring defiantly at yton as if daring him to deny that I was his woman.


    “So what if she’s pregnant with your child? She doesn’t love you, so leave her alone. You should have some self-respect and stop bothering her,” yton said disdainfully.


    “Well, the fact remains that she’s pregnant with my child,” Bryan retorted.


    The two of them argued relentlessly. Dominic’s words echoed in my mind—yton and Bryan had been at loggerheads because of me.


    They both looked exhausted from their argument. With a sigh, I began to say, “You two, please…”


    g?lnσν????s is where dreams unfold


    However, before I could finish, a voice interrupted. “It’s getting quite lively over here.”


    We all turned to see Dominic approaching. He seemed to be enjoying the scene.


    “Get lost!” Bryan snapped, shoving him aside as he tried to drag me out of the banquet hall.


    yton seized my other hand and pulled me toward him.


    Before the struggle could escte, the sound of soft music filled the hall, signaling the start of the party.


    The party officiallymenced.


    Unlike the previous gatherings, this one was quite formal. Guests were seated ording to their social status.


    Using the distraction to his advantage, Dominic pulled me into his arms. What was he up to?


    I looked up at him and saw a mischievous smile on his face. He smirked provocatively at Bryan and yton before confidently taking me to sit with him.


    Once we were all seated, Leonardo made his appearance. He was surrounded by his entourage, with Antoni following closely behind him.


    “Standing by my side is Antoni Harrison, the son of Beta Cody. Antoni has steadfastly and loyally guarded the border. He is a rare talent. The Harrison family has also in a significant general of the Wizard n…” Leonardo continued to praise Antoni and the Harrison family’s immense contribution to the royal family.


    I began to grow bored, and my thoughts began to wander. Dominic noticed it and said, “Why did youe if you knew you’d get bored?”
