When Maggie adamantly refused to be separated from her child, Aldrich felt a surge of anger, struggling to control his emotions. However, Aldrich’s emotions quickly softened, and he reached out to gently touch Maggie’s hand, offering comfort and urgency in his touch. “Maggie, please try to understand the gravity of this situation,” he implored, his voice filled with desire and concern. “Our offspring have displayed extraordinary abilities from the early stages of pregnancy. Along with the powerful mind link we share, it proves their superior genetics and inherent potential. They are the most formidable contenders to become the Alpha King. Once born, they will undergo rigorous training to fulfill their destiny. But, dearest Maggie, you are a fragile human; you simply cannot raise them.”
Tears welled up in Maggie’s eyes, and her voice was earnestly pleading. “Aldrich, you don’t understand the depth of my longing,” she whispered, her voice trembling. “Having a child has been my lifelong dream, and this might be my last chance, perhaps I’ll never have this opportunity again.”
When Aldrich saw the pain in Maggie’s eyes, his expression softened slightly. He took a step closer, his voice gentle yet resolute. “Maggie, I’m willing to generously compensate you financially,” he said, his eyes searching for her understanding. “I can even help you adopt a human child. I promise you, this child will receive the best care and upbringing. Please trust me.”
“Maggie, think of the possibilities,” Charlie urged enthusiastically, his eyes gleaming with excitement. “With Aldrich’s help, you can provide a loving life for a human child. This is an opportunity!”
Alisa shot Charlie a sharp look, her intense gaze silencing him. “Charlie, that’s enough,” she commanded firmly, her voice leaving no room for argument. “Let Maggie express her thoughts.”
Maggie seethed with anger, narrowing her eyes as she locked gazes with Aldrich. “Do you think that throwing money at me and finding a replacement child will solve everything?” she countered, her voice resolute. “Do you know the pain of a mother and child being separated? How can you say such heartless things? You obviously don’t understand the bond between mothers.” She continued, her voice filled with determination. “I only want my children to have a normal life under the care of their mother. I don’t want them to be pawns in the pursuit of the Alpha King and lose a mother’s love in the process.”
An unsettling silence fell over the room. Maggie’s stomach growled, and the twins urgently needed nutrition. Excitement, hunger, and a series of shocks had taken a toll on her. Her body swayed like a delicate blade of grass in a storm, teetering on the edge of collapse.
“Maggie, you need nourishment now!” Aldrich rushed forward, attempting to help Maggie up, but she made a shocking move.
She heartlessly pushed Aldrich away, despite her weakened strength, unable to move him as he stood firm as a rock. Instead, she stumbled backward.
Aldrich teleported to catch Maggie, his eyes filled with pity. “Maggie, stop this reckless behavior. You must take responsibility for our child’s health; your body is too weak…”
“Enough!” Maggie broke free from Aldrich’s embrace, displaying clear rejection and disgust, which hurt Aldrich deeply.
Aldrich had never encountered such a strong refusal from a woman, let alone someone refusing his care.
Maggie stared coldly at Aldrich, her eyes and words piercing like sharp knives. “Aldrich, I am the mother of our child. Yes, you are powerful, and you can provide better protection for our child. But if you try to take my child away, I will fight you with everything I have, even if it means shedding blood!”
“You… You want to fight me!” Aldrich chuckled, incredulous that someone as frail as her, a mere ordinary human, would dare challenge him, someone he could defeat with a wave of his hand.
“Please do not underestimate the power of any mother,” Maggie asserted, supporting her frail body. After speaking, her stomach growled, and she knew her children were not in good condition.
Gently stroking her protruding belly, she lifted her chin and issued an order to the determined Aldrich. “Now, leave this place. Rest assured, as long as no one here wants to take my children from me, I will improve my mood, eat well, and take care of my children.”
In the face of Maggie’s determination, Aldrich felt a mixture of anger and an intriguing sensation. This woman radiated a captivating aura that drew him near, making him unable to ignore the astounding thoughts in her mind…
But for the sake of the children, Aldrich had to make the choice to withdraw. He gazed deeply at Maggie.
Maggie turned her cold shoulder to him, leaving Aldrich standing alone.
With a compassionate look, Alisa observed the scene and approached, her tone resolute. “Aldrich, please leave,” she said warmly. “I will take good care of Maggie, and this is crucial for her and the children.”
However, the next moment, due to her physical weakness, Maggie unexpectedly fainted. Aldrich swiftly caught her falling body, averting danger.
Aldrich knew that when it came to parenting, neither of them would compromise, and this was an impending explosive issue…
