Chapter 227: A peaceful meal
A teasing smile hung on Cedric’s face as he watched her face go completely red. Their interactions looked rather natural.
"They remind me of someone," Pierre whispered in Rebecca’s ears. She ignored her husband, more curious about what the royal couple was talking about, which made Abrielle blush so hard.
"It will take more than that to convince me." The duchess scoffed. Her eyes drawled to the crown prince and priestess. There was something off with the way Callista stared at Cedric. Her gossiping stomach knew there was more to it.
Callista averted her eyes from the entrance to stare at the empty set in front of her. Her hand was secretly clenched under the table. Lucian was just genuinely stunned at the fact Cedric was capable of smiling.
"How long will you be standing there?" Rebecca snorted, someone had to talk since they seemed to have forgotten people were waiting for them. Pierre cleared his throat following Rebecca’s comment.
It was obvious in the Nightshade family Rebecca seemed to be the one in control as it would appear to outsiders. Unbeknownst to them, Pierre was just a man of few words and had no issues with his wife expressing herself. He knew she was smart enough to know where to draw the line.
That was what Pierre thought before, but it seemed Rebecca was too engrossed in her concern for Abrielle that she forgot her son-in-law was not a random noble that could be compelled by their title but the first prince who didn’t respect even the king at times.
Abrielle was more embarrassed by Rebecca’s unceremonious comment. She looked away from the insufferable man she was stuck with for the meantime.
They made their way to the table as expected, Cedric took a seat at the head of the table while Abrielle sat at his right side. "I apologize for stalling. I had my hand filled with some tasks." Abrielle apologized for being late making it seem like petting a cat was an actual task.
