Chapter 221 - Dinner

I couldn't remember how many times we did it. Jayden didn't even seem exhausted and just kept going.

We went inside our bedroom in the afternoon but didn't come out until dinner. Jayden even pulled me into a stock room and made love quickly. I was so flushed when we arrived in the dining hall.

Everyone was already there and looked at us with amusement or impatience. Kyle seemed annoyed because we were late, while Emily was trying not to laugh.

"You do know that time is important to us. You are fifteen minutes late. And could you please keep your dick inside your pants when you are outside of your chamber?" Kyle said while glaring at Jayden.

"Don't be such an old man. I bet you did it in every corner of the palace." Jayden answered in sarcasm.

Emily blushed and bit her lips, confirming Jayden's sarcastic remarks. Kyle ignored it and looked at me.

"Margaret, you are not in Queen's where you could just have sex anytime and anywhere. And same goes for all of you. Can you at least keep quiet when doing it?" Kyle said.

Me and the girls giggled. Kyle was being the big brother again. Well, he's the oldest, followed by Andrew, so he was really the man of the house aside from being the King.

"Hey, we're not like Jayden and Peggy. It's almost eight, and I don't think they're done with it." Nina commented.

Kyle turned to Nina then to Andrew.

"Oh, really? Is that why I received a report that two of the servants saw a man and a woman making out in the swimming pool? The couple arrived in the morning and left at around three in the afternoon. They even left a box of unused condoms." 

Nina blushed, then slapped Andrew on the shoulder making everyone laugh.

"Who was that couple who stayed in the garden until midnight, making some howling and growling sound that the guards thought they were wild animals?" Kyle continued.

I saw Sophie's flushed face. She couldn't look anyone in the eye and buried her face into Percy's shoulder.

Then Kyle turned to Luke.

"And you, how many times do I have to tell you that this isn't Queen's. You can't order the historians to get out so you could have sex in the royal archives."

Alora glared at him. But Kyle was used to it since he was also one of Alora's psychiatrists.

"So can you all promise me just to do it inside your bedrooms? Let's keep it private." Kyle suggested.

We nodded like little kids, but we were having fun. After all that happened, we wanted to feel like we were still ordinary people.

The kids came after the servants called them. As the crown prince, Caden would always sit on Kyle's right side, while Alira would sit beside Caden.

I noticed Lucas was staring at his twin sister. He might have missed her since Caden and Alira spent more time with each other.

"Lucas, are you excited about your sister's engagement?" I asked.

I wanted to make sure that he wasn't feeling lonely. Alora was looking at me when I asked her son.

"I'm not against it. I like Caden for Alira. But I want to make sure that Caden will not be like Uncle Jayden when he gets older." 

Percy and Andrew laughed. I thought he was pouting because of the engagement, but he was actually worried for his sister.

"What did I do? I'm a faithful husband." Jayden exclaimed at Lucas.

"You weren't like that in the beginning. If Caden would be like you, then I would not give him my sister." Lucas ranted.

"Lucas! I promised, remember?" Caden butted in.

Lucas glared at Caden, then sighed. "Just keep your promise. I don't want our friendship to get ruined because of my sister."

The kids were blabbering about a promise. But no one wanted to tell us about it. The engagement would be three days from now, and tomorrow would be the start of the preparation.

"Alira, have you chosen a dress?" Alora asked her daughter.

Alira shook her head. "Can you help me, mommy? I'm not sure what to wear with that kind of occasion."

"Sure. I know the royal family prepared something for you, right?" Alora said while looking at me, then Kyle.

Alora doesn't talk much. But every time she opened her mouth, her words were like icicles slowly piercing your whole body. She wanted us to give her daughter a proper welcoming gift. After all, she's the only daughter of Luke Wilson and Alora Smith.

"I know. Stop glaring at me." I pouted.

"Everything looks good on you anyway. Choose something that you are comfortable with." It was Caden complimenting his future wife.

I didn't expect Caden to say something like that at his age. I looked at Jayden then at the others; they were all smiling at Caden.

"Nice. You know how to compliment a woman now." Luke commented.

"But she's really pretty like Aunt Alora, so I know anything she wears would be fine." Caden answered.

I chuckled. "Sweetie, even if you tell your mother-in-law that she's pretty, you won't get any reaction from her. She's a bit weird, you know." I said, looking at Alora with a wide grin on my face.

She was glaring at me and suddenly threw a table napkin.

"Hey!" I yelled and threw it back to her.

"Stop it! Are you teenagers? Look at your kids' manners; they are better than you. Margaret, stop, and let's continue eating." Kyle scolded us.

"Fine! I was telling the truth." I pouted.

Sophie and Nina were just smiling. They knew Kyle would be mad if they joined in. Emily was giving me a meaningful look, and I know she was also enjoying it.

Dinner ended smoothly. We were chatting and laughing with each other as if nothing had happened. We've been friends for years and we treat ourselves as one family. I was fortunate and glad to have them.

"By the way, Jayden, Alora was invited to be the guest speaker in Flousia Mental Hospital about dissociative identity disorder. As the prince of this country, you will be attending as well.." Kyle suddenly said.
