Later that evening, Cedric asked his sister if she could join them for dinner. To his surprise several others also decided to drop by and eat with them.
He looked across the room as he tried to anticipate what his friends' reaction would be to the news he had.
"Ayanna, is there something you want to tell me?" Cedric asked as the maids served their food.
"No, why?" Ayanna couldn't look her brother in the eyes. She knew what he wanted to know, but she had no plans of making him worry more than he should.
"Are you sure?" Cedric's voice turned stern as he waited for her to come clean.
Cedric noticed Ray reach out, hold his wife's hand, and gently caress it. He was clearly trying to calm her even before he spoke.
"He knows, Ayanna." He told her, making Ayanna go pale.
"He knows what?" Adrianna gave Cedric an intense glare. She could tell that they were about to say something very important.
