Chapter 25
Josette : she nodded I see.
Bonnie : How did you know ?
Josette : I have two boys, Alexander and Thomas. I know the signs.
Bonnie : I understand.
Josette : Will it be your firstborn ?
Bonnie : Yes.
Josette : I was lucky enough to survive two childbirths. My mother can't say the same. Her first and only pregnancy was me and Malachai. Twins. She suffered a massive blood loss and died a few days later.
Bonnie : I'm really sorry to hear that.
Josette : I'll pray for you to have an easy delivery. Well at least for you not to die from childbirth.
Bonnie : Thank you, I guess.
Josette : Does Kai know ?
Bonnie : she shook her head Not yet. I couldn't tell him. He had enough on his plate with his father being sick. Oh, how is he by the way ?
Josette : she tightened her jaws Full recovery.
She thought her brother was in a deep mess and there was no way out without
hurting at least one person.
Meanwhile
Kai sat on a chair in the boudoir. The room didn't change since the last time he
came. He told Elena he was leaving on seas because he wasn't ready yet to
become her husband but that he would come back. That was a lie or so he
thought since he was here after all. To break her heart. He sighed and got up.
Maybe he could still escape this situation without...
The door opened and Elena went in gracefully.
Kai : he smiled Elena, you're here.
Elena : Yes. Oh, I missed you ! she threw her arms around him
He hugged her back awkwardly.
Elena : she pulled away and smiled Please tell me about your travels !
Kai : Well, yes but first...
She pouted like a little girl.
Kai : Alright, one story.
They sat down.
Jeremy placed the last scones on the tray. The cook just baked them. He added
some jam and made sure the tea was still warm. He knew that Kai was with
Elena right now and he didn't like it. The young woman naively thought he
would be happy to see Kai again because they were friends when they were
children. She didn't realize that friendship stayed in childhood. They grew
apart, Kai as a gentleman and Jeremy as the servant he was meant to be. He
started to envy Kai when he got engaged to Elena. He didn't want to be rich
but there was one woman he loved and he could never have her. He grabbed
the tray and went in the boudoir. He knocked on the door before going inside
in silence. He saw they were talking and he put the tray on a table. He was
about to leave...
Kai : Hello, Jeremy.
Jeremy : coldly Hello.
Elena : she smiled You can stay if you want.
Jeremy : he shook his head I have work to do he left
Kai : I need to tell you that...
Elena's mom entered the room and he sighed.
Mary : Malachai, it's about time you came back.
Elena : Mother !
Mary : What ? I'm just telling the truth. He was gone for two years when he promised to marry you.
Kai : I wanted to talk about that. I...
Mary : Shhhh, now I have a lot of planning to do.
Kai : But...
Mary : You should go. I'll send a messager when we need you.
Kai : Really, I...
Mary : she clapped in her hands Go, please.
Elena : We'll see each other soon, don't worry she smiled
Kai : Fine he bowed a little Ladies.
They watched him leave. He was really frustrated. He came to break off the
engagement and it was a complete failure. Maybe I should tell Bonnie, he
thought. But then she trusted him and it would break her heart.
