Chapter 118: CUAGMIRE
The chirping of the birds woke me up and when I looked outside the window, the sun’s rays streamed into the room. I rolled on the bed and huffed in annoyance. I knew that Haida was affecting me, but the mere presence of her around me. I dragged myself out of bed and my eye caught the clothes placed on the bedside chair. I stared at them and snickered, knowing well that Mrs. Hemming was playing matchmaker.
An hour later, I was showered, dressed, and ready to leave the Villa. I walked out of the room to the smell of food and I followed the scent since my stomach growled. The table was filled with meat and chicken, potatoes, and salads. Mrs Hemming must have heard me approaching as she turned around and said, "Good Morning. Haida made brunch for us. We all overslept. "
"We?" I raised an eyebrow and in seconds Aspen appeared from upstairs, rushed over to the table, served his plate, and gobbled down the meat.
"Manners. You have no manners. " Addison followed as she slowly slid on the chair and then waited for Mrs Hemming to sit down.
"Have a seat. " Mrs Hemming pointed at the empty chairs opposite Addison and Aspen.
I walked to the chair next to her, and she beamed at me.
"I know what you are trying to do" I pushed the words to her mind link.
She seemed startled at first and then burst out laughing, shocking both Addison and Aspen. Haida walked into the room carrying a jug of juice, placed it on the table, and sat on the chair beside me.
Mrs. Hemming picked a plate, served the food, and placed it in front of me. "Thank you for saving us. "She winked at me.
I huffed and dug into the food, ignoring the stares that came from Aspen and Addison. Mrs Hemming grinned and chuckled as she ate and finally, Aspen threw the fork on the plate and said "Ma, are you flirting with him"
His question made Haida choke while Mrs. Hemming burst into fits of laughter.
