Chapter 220: Missing (2)
After embracing the alpha tightly as though it had been a long time since he last saw him and not only a few hours, he slightly withdrew while looking up at Spade.
"Done?" he inquired in a hushed tone. Arren was aware that the cousins would be talking about something heavy, and by the looks of it, things seemed to turn out smoothly, at least not in the worst-case scenario considering Spade’s expression.
Spade brushed his hair and caressed his back gently as he nodded and answered ambiguously. "He’s with us."
Arren understood it instantly, and he sighed in relief. He didn’t want Levin to be their enemy, and he knew Spade was the most unreconciled about that outcome.
While flirting with Spade was always part of his daily life, he wasn’t that insensitive yet, especially for someone who had an unclear love life. Arren chose to be disciplined for once and recalled that Rave was still in the room, so he didn’t go all out.
"How about lunch?" he smiled and offered. Although it was still early for lunch. The two didn’t refuse, or Rave was so forced by Arren’s heated gaze that he accepted it in the end.
Arren chose to eat inside the room, and Spade, of course, agreed and let the food be served in the room. They were already seated, food was on the table, and they began to eat.
Rave was slightly awkward since he was eating with the Emperor in his royal attendant uniform. In some way, it indeed appeared appropriate when someone happened to observe it from the other’s perspective, but Arren didn’t mind it.
Spade was the same; as long as Arren was happy, he didn’t care either. Rave was the only one who was a bit awkward at first but gradually focused on the food.
He gave Rave a glance, and seeing he was already savoring the dishes, Arren also began to gobble up the food. However, he wasn’t that hungry, and he only ate normally.
While Spade gave him food every once in a while as he ate. Overall, that early lunch passed silently, with only the sounds of plates, utensils, and occasionally chewing sounds reverberating in the room.
