Chapter 125

Zenovia

Cynthia was wearing a long flowy gown with a thigh high slit and stilettos while Callahan was dressed in his usual style, a maroon shirt with sleeves rolled up and blue jeans.

She reached for his elbow while laughing and I tried to shove down the spark of jealousy coursing up my veins.

“I mean, I told you that would happen. But you are just too stubborn.” She said, and he replied,

“Can’t help”

Cynthia closed the distance between them and took his hands in hers while saying, “Well, at least, your knuckles don’t look bloodied anymore.”

Callahan did not pull away from her immediately and answered, “I guess my Lycan is back to being a docile being.”

They were chatting excitedly, and he seemed to be in a good mood. I did not want to ruin it, so I turned around and went inside the kitchen. My stomach rumbled at that point, reminding me that I had not eaten anything since morning.

Jealousy be damned, I needed food, and the delicious aroma wafting from the kitchen was not worth walking away from the dinner table without having my fill.

Drusilla saw the way I reacted, but did not say a word, and quietly grabbed a chair and sat on it.

Maria came outside upon hearing their voices while I stayed behind, wanting to calm my nerves. I could see the dining table clearly from this angle, though not Callahan and Cynthia.

“Oh, you have arrived, King. Should I serve dinner for you, too?”

He raised an eyebrow. “Me too?”

Then his gaze drifted to Drusilla who was doing something on her phone.

“Ah, when did you come, Dru? I did not see you.”

“I can tell that,” She said without taking her eyes off the mobile phone. Guess I was not the only one annoyed then.

Cynthia attempted to pacify Drusilla. “Hey Drusilla, what’s up?”

Drusilla looked up from her phone and gave her an all too sweet smile. “Everything except my mood.”

Ooh. This was getting interesting.

“Serve dinner to all of us then,” Callahan answered Maria, who bowed politely and hurried inside the kitchen.
