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 tshe 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 tnow?" 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 cto 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 tleft. All | 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 needto handle something, let me
know."
"Uncle, there's one more thing..." Rowan hesitated, sighed, "lI 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. | 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, then don't. No one can force you."
