Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez by Selina Gorges

Yvette’s gaze was cold and mischievous, her eyes falling on Rodney as her voice came out soft and slow. “What’s meant to be yours will always be yours.”

Rodney swung his legs, blinked, and said obediently, “What’s mine is also yours, Yvette. We’re family.”

Rodney then turned his head to examine Jeremiah, letting out a haughty hum. “Man, I don’t think you are the right one for Yvette.

“How about this? Can we make a deal? You can be Yvette’s knight for now and protect her. Once I grow up, I’ll marry Yvette, and then you can retire.”

Rodney said it so seriously that everyone in this room knew exactly what he was thinking. However, he looked unfazed.

Samantha stared at Rodney, astonished by how serious he seemed. She thought, ‘How dare a teenage kid say this to Jeremiah? It was ridiculous. Jeremiah now has a new rival, and this one isn’t even of legal age! Man, Yvette’s charm was on another level!

Jeremiah’s eyes were as cold as ice as he spoke with a casual tone “Really? Haven’t you heard? Things rarely go as you expect.”

Eagle King let out a laugh, followed by Emmett and Charles who paused for a moment before laughing as well. They thought, ‘How could Jeremiah be so cruel to a little boy? He just shattered his fantasies about romance.’

Rodney caught the meaning of Jeremiah’s words, pouting and jumping into Yvette’s arms, looking utterly wronged. “He is really bad. How could he curse me? He’s just jealous of how handsome I am.”

Eagle King watched as Rodney acted spoiled in Yvette’s embrace and shook his head in disgust. He thought, “This little boy might act all sweet in front of Yvette, but when it came to others, he was a devil, killing without a second thought.

Eagle King sighed and said, “Enough, Rodney. You’re the king of Voraxia. Do you really need to act like this? Can you at least consider your status?”
