Chapter 29 - Determined and Persue.

The cousins all sat around the table. The atmosphere at the breakfast table wasn't good that day, unlike the daily laughter and chatters.

"What happened to Brother Adonis?"

Lucia said, poking her applepie.

Ozias pouted and said,"How can brother leave without even looking at us? The Duke said he was Brother's lover. How can he not tell us?"

"Did he go back to being like before?"

Rufus, Juno and Mila were quiet.

Juno finally broke the silence.

"There must be something we don't know. Didn't you guys see how he has been since some days ago? We have to wait for him to open up and tell us."

"But sister Juno, we're family to him. We love him. He should tell us."

Juno looked at Lucia and said gently,"Even if we're family, no matter how close a person is to another, some things are hard to talk about. We might understand it but still. When a person loves he's afraid to lose. They're afraid that their loved ones will be gone or might doubt them if they tell the truth. They're insecure. Sometimes we should understand and let them open up to us. As an expression of our love, then, we can only wait for them to come to us and speak about it. Because we love them, we don't force them and make them uncomfortable. Okay, sweetheart?"

Lucia nodded enthusiastically.

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry. Because you loved him you wanted him to trust you more. But that's the mistake we make most of the time. Waiting for the other person to do things first. We must do what we can and they should too. Only then will that relationship last."

Lucia and Ozias nodded.

Mila spoke,"Sister, what about our businesses?"

Juno looked at her and said,"Adonis has done most of the work for us. He has also left us with an exceptional advisor too. Now we should do things for ourselves too. He has cooked the meal for us, we can at least feed ourselves."

All of them nodded.

"Let us uphold the trust he has in ourselves."

"We'll make Brother Adonis proud."

"We'll run a good business."

Juno smiled at her brothers and sisters.

"We can have Rosie send the documents to the Bloodworth Dukedom. Let's work hard and do the openings. He paved the way for us now let's walk on the way ourselves. Can we?"

"Yes, sister."

All of them said at the same time.

Normally quiet Bloodworth Mansion has become lively since some days. Filled with two beautiful laughter and lots of smiled

"Mommy, Osiris doesn't like carrots."

Osiris hugged Adonis burying his head in Adonis's chest.

Adonis holding a spoon in his hands said,"But baby, carrots should be eaten. Or else how can you grow up to become handsome like Daddy?"

Magnus gave a subtle smirk at that.

Osiris looked up at Adonis with innocent eyes and said,"Daddy will get more kisses if he is more handsome."

Adonis nodded.

All the maids and servants looked at Adonis once, moving their gaze to their Duke who was eating calmly then finally looked straight ahead, all while having a poker face.

Osiris looked at Magnus and protested.

"But Daddy doesn't eat carrots either. Osiris don't wanna. Mommy please."

Adonis looked at Magnus's plate where carrots were picked out and sighed.

"Seems like Daddy is a bad influence. But you've gotta finish the other veggies. Okay?"

"Okay, Mommy."

Osiris happily ate the veggies that Adonis fed him.

Holt came to the table and said,"Master Adonis's table has been prepared."

Magnus looked at him and said,"That's good."

He looked at Adonis and said,"Let's go. Let me show you your table. After that we've got to go out too."

Adonis nodded.

He finished feeding Osiris and sent him to his classes. After that he followed Osiris's Daddy to see his study.

Adonis looked at the door and said,"But this is your study."

"It can fit both our tables for now. I've asked Holt to transform the room you used for your study."

He looked around and saw that on the left corner of Magnus's table was his table, facing the window ahead.

"Then where do I sleep?"

Magnus looked at Adonis and said naturally,"Our room."

As soon as Adonis heard that his heart became fuzzy and itchy. He blushed and asked,"That, that, don't I make you uncomfortable by sleeping on your bed?"

Magnus internally said, you do but in other ways.

He walked towards Adonis as Adonis walked backwards in reflex.Β 

Magnus said,"What's there to be uncomfortable between a married couple?"

Adonis was as red as tomato by then.

"That Duke-" It was Holt's voice.

Adonis tried pushing him in reflex but Magnus caught his hand.

He pushed Adonis on the shelf and said,"I almost injured my back again."

He bent in Adonis's ears and said,"Maybe you should try another way to hurt my back. Who knows what might work?"

Adonis was like a burning firewood.

Holt in the back : ???

He tried his best to control his twitching face.

Can these people stop with all this skinship?

Go get a room already!

But he understands, his Duke, after being alone for so many years has finally found someone he loved. He was basically a ticking first love bomb. Ready to burst as soon as it was put on the certain person.

He sighed.

Holt cleared his throat.

"Sir, you said you both wanted to go to Arnall Household to talk about them about that thing. The carriage is ready."

Magnus finally let go of Adonis's hands and said,"Okay."

Still not looking at Holt.

Holt said,"Please come down after you've finished."

He looked at Adonis who was as red as tomato and thought, poor Young Master Adonis.

Hope the innocent rabbit doesn't have a hard time, all the time the mighty tiger is eating him up.Β 

God, give him strength.

I'll ask the kitchen to prepare lots of nutritious food for the Rabbit, I mean for the Young Master or we could say soon to be Duchess Bloodworth.

Holt left listing the food in his mind, especially good for stamina.
