Chapter 9: I Am The Crown Princess
They were startled by a knock on the door. Caden had a dark expression when he turned around to look at who it was, only to be surprised to see who distracted the.
"Mom!" He called.
Her eyes widened and suddenly felt embarrassed when she saw Caden’s mother standing by the door. She was looking at the. with a serious face and she was still as beautiful as ever.
"Am I disturbing you?" Peggy asked.
She was asking both of us them she was only staring at Alira. Honestly, she was closer to Caden’s father than his mom. Maybe because her husband has been there since Lucas and her were born.
Growing up, Jayden Richards always played with her and Lucas. Her father said her Uncle Jayden missed his fiance and son so he would always spend time with them. When Peggy came back, she already had Caden.
She never had a chance to get closer to her. A lot had happened when she returned. They went back to Flousia just weeks after their arrival at their home.
She only got a chance to play with her when she lost the baby in her womb. But after her engagement with Caden, Alira felt like Peggy distanced herself to her.
"I-I’m sorry, Aunt Peggy. I-I was just-"
"Don’t apologize!" Caden exclaimed.
Peggy didn’t say a word and started walking towards Caden. She thought she was going to get mad because Caden yelled. But Alira was surprised when Peggy suddenly hugged him.
"I missed you, son." She heard her whisper.
