Chapter 287 Date night
She smiled and put both of her arms around his neck snugly. "Woooow, have you always been this considerate?"
He pulled out the hair band which was holding her hair up in a ponytail and her hair fell down naturally, just the way he like it. "Only for you, ask my men, I am the opposite of considerate when it comes to them."
After saying this, he raised his nose and sniffed her hair. Then he leaned away from her face and said, "Speaking of considerate, where is your dog that eats like it owns the castle. I have not seen him around lately, my Hachiko is lonely."
"Severus is hunting in the forest, he will return when he has found something worthy of my time." she replied.
In his mind, Esong calculated the number of days that the dog had been gone and he wondered what it was feeding on. It could be possible that the animal had died of starvation in the forest while she waited for him to return.
"What is it eating?" he asked.
"I gave him a storage bracelet and taught him how to use it, it took a while but he is an expert now." she answered.
Immediately, he chuckled because her response reminded him of the time they saw the dog in the virtual arena.
"You gave your dog a storage bracelet when forty percent of the people cannot even afford one! Wow, you are spendthrift. And you spoil him so much, if he cannot defend himself out there one of those shadow guild hunters is likely to steal it from him. Or the commoners who are hunting in the forest of finding a mutated beast which was left behind. Is there a way we can track him down and bring him back home?" he knew how much she loved that dog and he was worried that she would be devastated if anything happened to it.
She giggled and looked up, "Are you actually worried about my dog right now?"
"Of course, what's yours is mine and all that." he answered.
Then, he pushed his head forward, ensuring that his face was close enough to hers so much so that he could smell the cinnamon on her breath from the last donut she had eaten a few minutes ago.?He puckered his lips and made kissing sounds with a cheeky smile on his face.
She brought one of her hands forward and covered his lips. "What is kiss worthy about this moment, our baby is on the way here with his great grandmother and grandmother for breakfast. Go and put on something decent."
She wiggled and got off his laps, while he sighed and looked down at the sleeveless black vest he had donned. How was this not decent?
"Hurry up, go and put on a shirt." she pulled him by his right hand out of the chair.
With the way she did it so easily, she knew that he was allowing himself to be dragged by her.
While mumbling something about nothing being wrong with his outfit, he still made his way to the bedroom to get changed while she prepared the cups and arranged the table.
In a few seconds, Justin came in holding the hands of both of his grandmothers an singing the itsy bitsy spider while jumping.
"Mummy, your baby is here." he abandoned Cecily and Mega the minute he set his eyes on her.
"Yey, my sweet baby is here." she responded with much enthusiasm and picked her up as he lunged himself at her.
She twirled him around, then threw his body up and down while saying, "Whoosh, whoosh," and Justin giggled at the top of his voice.
Their game made Mega nervous and she told Scarlet, "Stop playing around both of you, what kind of risky game is like that?"
"Yes, at the table moreover," Cecily added.
Mother and son settled down and they both sat down. Esong came over and greeted his grandmother and his mother-in-law before finding a seat as well.
"How was your sleepover with your little uncle and aunt?" she asked Justin.
"Little uncle let out bad air at night." Justin replied with a giggle.
Scarlet joined him in giggling as they laughed at Gregor.
"Table conversation." Mega banged down a spoon and mother and son stopped laughed.
"Are you ready for school son?" Esong changed the topic.
"Yes daddy, I want to see my friends, and teacher Peggy and principal Stash and...."
All the adults listened with smiles on their faces as the young one named all the people ha had missed and could not wait to see.
After breakfast, Mega asked Scarlet, "What are you two up to tonight?"
"Date night." Esong answered loudly, and quickly.
Cecily laughed and Esong turned his face away and he put on a serious look on his face. "I was just sharing information." he said.
"Right." his grandmother said.
"Mother you will have to spend time with Justin and keep an eye on him." Scarlet said.
"I know the drill," her mother replied, "Keep him away from Emory."
"I already spoke to Emmet, they will be moving out of the castle tomorrow. We found them a house on the upper floor of the cat paw building." Cecily shared with them.
"Mother is going to hate it." Esong said.
She would be unsatisfied and angered by the prospect of having to share a living space with ordinary commoners. Additionally, if they did not occupy an entire floor, she would complain every single second about being forced to live in such diminished quarters.
"Yeah well, whose fault is it?" Cecily mumbled. She was spending less time with Justin lately because Scarlet did not trust Emory not to show up around them when they had him.
Her great grandson was more important that Emory and her nasty attitude.
"Okay, I have a meeting in ten minutes so I need to run. I will see you all later."?She gave Justin a big kiss on the cheek and hugged her mother.
She turned around and hugged her husband as well before running off.
"So I don't get a hug." Cecily mumbled after Scarlet run off.?"I wonder who she is meeting."
"Someone in city hall, I heard that they are planning to construct and underground tunnel leading from this city to the next one. But, is that a good idea? Wouldn't it collapse during winter if mutated beasts attack?" Mega was looking at Esong.
"It depends on the materials they use." Esong replied.
Then he carried Justin up and lifted him up and down as if he was carrying a drum bell while Justin squealed.
Cecily and Mega looked at each other, thinking, first the wife and now the husband. Did these two think their son was a ball to be played around with anyhow?
"We are going gardening, put him down." Cecily ordered Esong.
"Yes, lady Cecily." Esong replied in a humor filled voice.
"Are you joining us?" Mega asked him.
"No, I am joining my men for training."?He fist bumped Justin before leaving.
"I guess that leaves us." Cecily muttered.
Justin broke into a song about flowers and he jumped, leading the way out of Scarlet's private wing.
