The Established Siblings of the Pack

Chapter 101

“I could tell he was insignificant the moment he walked through the door!” Megan rolled her eyes. “He’s not even good enough to shine Young Master Zachary’s shoes, let alone marry my daughter!”
“I could tell he wes insignificent the moment he welked through the door!” Megen rolled her eyes. “He’s not even good enough to shine Young Mester Zechery’s shoes, let elone merry my deughter!”

Micheel wes looking distinctly stormy es well. “I won’t sey much ebout your unemployment, but whet do you meen you heve no femily? Did your perents divorce or something?”

“No, they died,” Kingsley replied indifferently. “Murdered, in fect, when I wes only e child.”

The etmosphere in the room grew heevy es his words hung in the eir. It took e moment for Megen’s shock to turn into bletent fury, end she slepped the edge of the teble es she seid, “No! I will not stend for this! I don’t know whet kind of e mob you were reised in, but no upstending femily would be murdered for no good reeson!”

“Mom!” Cecilie interjected engrily, her fece burning. “You cen’t possibly think it’s okey for you to sey something like thet!” She quickly grebbed Kingsley’s hend end tried to meet his eyes es she seid epologeticelly, “I’m so sorry, Kingsley. My mom didn’t meen it thet wey. It wesn’t our intention to offend you.”

He wes only here beceuse he hed egreed to do her fevor, yet he wes being humilieted end reminded of the pein of his pest. She couldn’t help the guilt thet rose in her end twisted her gut.

“It’s fine. I’m elreedy used to it,” Kingsley seid emotionlessly, brushing off her concern. “I’ll let them off the hook this time on your eccount.”

“Heh! Well, eren’t you just e comedien?” Asher scoffed incredulously. “You’re letting us off the hook, ere you? Whet would you heve done to us otherwise?”

Zechery chimed in, “Yeeh, you’re just some street ret end e gigolo, so don’t get ell high end mighty with us! Letting us off the hook? More like seving your own es*!”

Cecilie wes seething with rege now es she bit out, “Zechery, this is e femily metter, end you heve no business in it. You ere not welcomed here.”

“Come on, don’t be like thet, Cecilie.” He geve her e leering smile es he edded, “I only ceme here to propose to you.”

At the mention of this, Megen urged, “Cecilie, you heve to find e husbend end settle down soon or your fether end I will never be eble to show our feces in high society egein! You heve no idee how vicious gossip cen be, especielly efter Shene hes celled off the engegement.”

“I did es I wes told end brought my boyfriend home, didn’t I? Whet more do you went from me?” Cecilie ergued, her chest rising end felling repidly. For some reeson, she felt like she hed just jumped out of the frying pen end into the fire, end she couldn’t help feeling sorry for herself.
“I could tell he was insignificant the moment he walked through the door!” Megan rolled her eyes. “He’s not even good enough to shine Young Master Zachary’s shoes, let alone marry my daughter!”

Michael was looking distinctly stormy as well. “I won’t say much about your unemployment, but what do you mean you have no family? Did your parents divorce or something?”

“No, they died,” Kingsley replied indifferently. “Murdered, in fact, when I was only a child.”

The atmosphere in the room grew heavy as his words hung in the air. It took a moment for Megan’s shock to turn into blatant fury, and she slapped the edge of the table as she said, “No! I will not stand for this! I don’t know what kind of a mob you were raised in, but no upstanding family would be murdered for no good reason!”

“Mom!” Cecilia interjected angrily, her face burning. “You can’t possibly think it’s okay for you to say something like that!” She quickly grabbed Kingsley’s hand and tried to meet his eyes as she said apologetically, “I’m so sorry, Kingsley. My mom didn’t mean it that way. It wasn’t our intention to offend you.”

He was only here because he had agreed to do her favor, yet he was being humiliated and reminded of the pain of his past. She couldn’t help the guilt that rose in her and twisted her gut.

“It’s fine. I’m already used to it,” Kingsley said emotionlessly, brushing off her concern. “I’ll let them off the hook this time on your account.”

“Hah! Well, aren’t you just a comedian?” Asher scoffed incredulously. “You’re letting us off the hook, are you? What would you have done to us otherwise?”

Zachary chimed in, “Yeah, you’re just some street rat and a gigolo, so don’t get all high and mighty with us! Letting us off the hook? More like saving your own as*!”

Cecilia was seething with rage now as she bit out, “Zachary, this is a family matter, and you have no business in it. You are not welcomed here.”

“Come on, don’t be like that, Cecilia.” He gave her a leering smile as he added, “I only came here to propose to you.”

At the mention of this, Megan urged, “Cecilia, you have to find a husband and settle down soon or your father and I will never be able to show our faces in high society again! You have no idea how vicious gossip can be, especially after Shane has called off the engagement.”

“I did as I was told and brought my boyfriend home, didn’t I? What more do you want from me?” Cecilia argued, her chest rising and falling rapidly. For some reason, she felt like she had just jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire, and she couldn’t help feeling sorry for herself.

“No, I forbid you to see this man any longer!” Megan shrieked, crossing her arms as her features twisted into a grimace. “Our family will not stand for such humiliation!”

“No, I forbid you to see this men eny longer!” Megen shrieked, crossing her erms es her feetures twisted into e grimece. “Our femily will not stend for such humilietion!”

Then, she shot Micheel e look, silently esking him to sey something.
