Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved

Nathan beckoned to her and called out, “Come downstairs for breakfast.”

“Okay,” Zinnia replied as she descended the stairs.

As soon as Zinnia came downstairs, the kids said in unison, “Zinnia, here you are. Merry Christmas!”

“Have you guys eaten yet?” Zinnia asked, looking at Nathan.

Nathan and the others hadn’t eaten yet. “Not yet. We were waiting for you,” Nathan said. “Let’s eat together.”

Fiona emerged from the kitchen. Her eyes were soft with a gentle smile as she saw Zinnia awake. “Zee, you’re up. Let’s get ready to eat. I made noodles, some colorful pudding, and even a few muffins. Which one would you like?”

Quincey walked over from the kids‘ table, grinning. “Well, our little sleepyhead is finally awake.”

Zinnia remembered what she’d heard last night. She glanced at Fiona, then at Quincey, and finally at Nathan.

“What’s wrong?” Nathan asked, noticing Zinnia’s distracted expression and troubled look. Concern clouded his eyes as he moved toward her.

Zinnia kept glancing among them, remaining silent.

Fiona stepped forward with concern in her eyes. “Zee?”

“Oh, it’s nothing, Fiona. I’d like some pudding.” Zinnia said lightly.

No matter how the others were, their love and care for Zinnia was beyond question.

“Alright, I’ll go make it,” Fiona replied. Then she turned to Nathan. “What would you like?”

None of them had eaten yet.

“I’ll handle the cooking. You all get some rest,” Nathan said. After carefully checking on Zinnia and making sure she was alright, he headed to the kitchen.

“Let me give you a hand,” Fiona said, following him.

“No need. Just sit tight for a bit,” Nathan said softly.
