Chapter 108: Will Have Them Both
That was new. Lethia’s brows tried to knit together as her eyes narrowed at the absurd confession. She wasn’t sure whether to be offended or not. Was Zeran saying she wasn’t attractive enough to make him hard, or was it him who had the issue? She was confident—most likely the latter.
She finished the now lukewarm milk in a single gulp and stood up, walking toward Zeran.

The swirling heat in her lower belly made her painfully aware of her baby bump—eager, fluttering, clearly thrilled by Zeran’s presence and refusing to take her side in this battle for pride.
