Celestial Queen: Revenge Is Sweet When You’re A Zillionaire Heiress

Chapter 1286:

Harlee smiled, stroking his arm playfully. “Darling, don’t be jealous, okay? You’re the one I love and care about the most!”

Rhys felt his throat constrict, and his breathing grew labored.

“Honey?” Harlee’s voice took on a teasing tone, puzzled by his silence.

Uncertain about his feelings, Harlee looked up at him. She noticed his eyelashes flutter as he struggled to speak, his voice hoarse. “Harlee, hold me…”

Without hesitation, Harlee drew him into a tight embrace.

Rhys cupped her face with his hands, staring intently into her eyes.

“Honey, do you love me?”

A blush crept across Harlee’s cheeks. Did he want to do it right here?

The roar of the ocean filled her ears. Meeting his intense gaze with a deep look of her own, she said, “I love you, and you’ll be the only one I love for my entire life.”

Rhys leaned in and kissed her, his hand gently caressing her lower back.

Harlee’s thoughts began to wander under the intensity of his kiss.

Suddenly, a wave of nausea overtook her, and she began to gag.

“Urghh…” She braced herself against a tree, miserably retching repeatedly, though nothing came up.

Rhys rubbed her back with concern, bending over to assess her condition. “Why are these pregnancy symptoms so intense?” His voice carried a hint of urgency. “Once we return, I’m going to have words with Dr. Wilson. He’s completely useless!”

Harlee managed a laugh through her discomfort. “He’s a doctor, not a magician. He can’t control everything. Don’t be ridiculous.”

After a few more unsuccessful attempts to vomit, Harlee’s condition improved. She said, “Your kiss was so passionate that our baby felt the need to protest.”

Rhys frowned and placed his hands on Harlee’s slightly swollen belly.

“Hey, little one. If you continue causing trouble and upsetting your mom, I’ll have to scold you once you’re born!”

Quickly, Harlee covered his mouth. “Don’t be so harsh!”

“Don’t worry. Our baby is resilient,” Rhys said, shrugging his shoulders. Harlee then fell into a thoughtful silence. She soothingly rubbed her belly, offering comfort to their unborn child.

Together, they strolled along the beach, hands entwined. After their walk, they headed back to the tent.

Standing before the tent, Rhys hesitated, holding onto Harlee’s hand. “Must you really spend the night with that woman?”

“I just need to ask her a few things.” With a resigned yet affectionate smile, Harlee reassured him, “It’s just for tonight, and after that, I’m all yours.”noveldrama

“Fine…” Rhys reluctantly agreed, though his grip on her hand tightened. Harlee calmed him with a tender kiss on his lips. “Be patient. It’s only for one night.”

Rhys’ mood lightened with her kiss. He slowly let go of her hand and watched her enter Tania’s tent with a smile. He lingered for a moment before turning away.
