Chapter 1692 Heartbeat In Throat

Chapter 1692 Heartbeat in Throat

Claire's heart skipped a beat. She quickly withdrew her gaze and seemingly calmly continued tidying

the desk. She didn't dare look up again. Her mind kept flashing back to Eden's expression just now. As

a young girl, she was afraid.

It was also the first time she felt the violent aura around this man, especially that expression just now.

Although they had often bumped into each other before, she hadn't noticed it... But today he gave off a

hellish feeling.

This bizarre yet icy aura was related to the changing situation?

Was Eden about to show his true colors? Or would he take action? What exactly was he pondering?

Suddenly, Claire heard footsteps. She looked up and saw Eden walking towards her with his gloomy

gaze fixed on her.

She tried her best to restrain her inner panic and withdrew her gaze to continue tidying the desk.

But as Eden approached, Claire's heart nearly jumped to her throat.

Just as she struggled to stay calm and wondered what he would do or ask and how she should

respond, another set of footsteps sounded from the other side.

Claire turned and saw Rowan appear in her line of sight, walking this way.

Rowan only glanced at her briefly before looking towards Eden.

At this moment, Eden had stopped two meters away from Claire and also looked at Rowan.

"Uncle, do you have time now?" Rowan's tone was slightly sad, his voice low, and obvious misty tears

shimmered in his eyes.

Eden nodded, then followed him out of the palace.

Before leaving, Rowan calmly glanced at Claire once more.

Claire watched the two departing backs. The suspense in her heart finally eased a little. That was really

close just now.

Could it be Rowan had also been lurking in the dark observing Eden? His timing was so perfect.

But what more could she do for Rowan?

Claire thought and thought, then strode towards the king's bedchamber.

Outside the grand palace hall, the sky was clear and the breeze gentle.

On the grassy knoll, Eden and Rowan walked side by side, both slowing their pace, knowing without

words that the nephew just wanted to chat with him.

Eden turned to observe his expression several times. So sad, touching Eden's heart.

He sighed softly and gripped his nephew's shoulder. "I know you're very upset, but things have come to

this. We should take life and death lightly so that the living won't be so pained."

"I regret not spending more years with him." Rowan blamed himself. "It's still hard to accept for now,

seeing him like this today... He probably doesn't have much time left. All I can do is quietly accompany

him, stay by his side without leaving, race against time, fight for every moment."

Eden sighed, glanced up at the sky. A few wisps of white clouds floated in the sky, also seemingly in

sad shapes.

"Then keep him company well," Eden said to him. "If you need my help with anything or need me to

handle something, let me know."

"Uncle, there's one more thing..." Rowan hesitated, sighed, "I don't want to be king." As if this was the

main point of today's conversation.

Eden stopped and turned to look at him calmly.

Rowan also halted his steps. He told his uncle, "I didn't grow up in the royal family. Though I hold the

title of prince, I'm just a commoner. I don't have the ability to rule a country well."

He completely denied himself and showed no personal ambition.

Eden was stunned for a good 5 seconds before coming to his senses and patting his shoulder again.

With a more relaxed tone and less sadness, he said, "That's easy to resolve. If you really don't want to,novelbin

then don't. No one can force you."
