My Unborn Baby Chose My Husband for Me novel Chapter 99

Lucian strode into the room wearing a sharply tailored black suit. His tall, commanding presence instantly dominated the space as two assistants trailed closely behind him.

What was he doing at a summit in Crestview?

Seraphina stood frozen.

Lucian's predatory gaze swept across the banquet hall before locking onto her.

Across the crowded room, their eyes met.

Seraphina's heart skipped a beat.

Professor Sterling noticed her sudden shift. "Sera? Is everything alright?"

"I'm fine, Professor." Seraphina tore her gaze away, but her pulse continued to race uncontrollably.

Little Bean was doing somersaults of joy. "Daddy's here! I knew Daddy couldn't bear to be away from Mommy!"

He's definitely here for business. It's not like he came specifically for me, Seraphina argued internally.

"Humph, keep denying it, Mommy! The way Daddy just looked at you was so possessive!"

Seraphina: "..."

What she failed to notice was Gideon Grant standing a few feet away, sipping his red wine with an amused glint in his eye as he watched the silent exchange between her and Lucian.

"Interesting," Gideon chuckled softly, taking another sip.

Lucian's arrival completely altered the atmosphere of the gala.

Most of the people in the room recognized him.

As the head of The Langford Group and the wealthiest man in the capital, his influence in the national business world was unrivaled.

Within seconds, a crowd swarmed him, eager to network.

Lucian maintained a cold, detached demeanor, offering only brief replies while his gaze consistently drifted back toward Seraphina.

Seraphina pretended not to notice, continuing her conversation with Professor Sterling.

But her entire body remained tense.

What was Lucian doing here?

Especially after Christian Chase informed him that her cheating ex-fiancé was also attending this summit.

Lucian couldn't sit still any longer and had rushed over on the fastest flight available.

Seraphina's ears burned hotly. "I got it," she murmured.

Watching the scene unfold, Professor Sterling's surprise morphed into a knowing grin. "Sera, I had no idea you and Mr. Langford..."

Seraphina quickly tried to explain. "Professor, he's my..."

"I am her husband," Lucian cut in, stating it as an absolute fact.

Professor Sterling's smile widened. "Wonderful, wonderful. I've watched Sera grow up, Mr. Langford. You had better treat her well."

"Naturally." Lucian placed his hand firmly on the curve of Seraphina's waist, pulling her flush against him.

Seraphina stiffened. His large, warm palm burned right through the thin fabric of her dress, sending her heart into overdrive.

Little Bean was screaming like a crazed fan. "Go Daddy! You're so alpha! Daddy is the best!"
