Chapter 327: Just You Wait!

Chapter 327: Just You Wait!

"Mmmm, something smells good enough to eat," As his hands crept around her waist, Nora was instantly surrounded by warmth that she had come to crave all the time.

"Of course they smell good enough to eat. I’m the one making them." Nora pouted as she flipped the egg slowly, while Demetri nuzzled against her.

"I’m not talking about the eggs, kitten. You smell delicious."

Nora turned her head to face him, a playful glint in her eyes. "I’m not on the menu, you know."

"That’s not what you said when I was savoring you in the morning," he retorted with a wicked smirk.

Nora made a face at Demetri, rolling her eyes before moving to take the eggs off the skillet.

"Come on, have some breakfast."

"Mrs Frost. What special day is it today, that you’ve prepared a feast?"

Demetri asked as he looked down at the multiple dishes spread out on the table.

"Its a bribe." Nora said easily as she sat opposite Demetri, looking at him with narrowed eyes.

Demetri raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise. "Bribery, you say? What do you want in exchange for this culinary delight?"

Nora sighed and looked at Demetri’s tired face. Something was bothering him that he was hiding from her.

"The truth."

Demetri lifted the plates and casually slipped a few pieced into her plate before taking a few himself and looked at her," What truth?"

"The truth that has put that look in your eyes. You may be expressionless, but I have learnt to read your expressionlessness. You’re hiding something Demetri Frost. And I am not happy about it."

"Mmm. I know, It’s why you’ve been scaring poor Ian to death."

"Ha! He called to complain to you?"

"Nah! He’s too sccared of you to whine to me about you. He did, however share his misery with Seb who did not fail to miss his chance to make fun of him."

Nora grinned and shook her head," Seb wouldn’t miss a chance to trouble Ian if the man was even drowning. He’d wait until he was almost under before jumping in to save him." Her smile disappeared, however, as she complained," And you are changing the topic."

Demetri smiled," Yes, I am."

"But why?"

"Nora, do you trust me?"

"Yes, of course."

Demetri looked at her carefully and nodded," Thank you. Then I’ll ask only this of you, don’t ask any questions for now. I want you to prepare for our wedding with an open and relaxed mind and for your exams. Nothing else. And if there comes a time that I feel like I can no longer handle things alone, then I’ll let you know. Can you do that?"

Nora looked at Demetri carefully and nodded slowly," I can do that. But I don’t like it. And I am warning you Demetri Frost, if you ever try to do something like this again, hide things from me then I will... hang you upside down from the ceiling till you resemble a bat!"

Demetri smiled," Noted. I won’t hide anything from you in the future after this matter."

Nora nodded with a nod. She’d only promised to not ask any questions. It did not mean she could not investigate on her own."

Demetri caught her devious smile and shook his head. She was going to try and investigate. He’d have to divert her.

"Have you decided on your bridesmaids?"

Nora stabbed at her fluffy eggs and sighed," There’s only Isabella and Evangeline for now. Isabella is the maid of honour so she is going to be paired with Ian. And if I pair Evana with anyone but Lucy, then she will probably kill me in my sleep. So, that leaves Erasmi, Seb and Gabe as single. I’ve already told them to let me know if they’d like me to add someone to pair with them. Gabe did not have a reply. Erasmi said he’ll get back to me and Seb looked as if he might have an apoplexy at the thought of bringing someone to the wedding."

"I have a name that you might be able to add." Demetri said quietly as he sipped the coffee.

"Who?"

"Olivia. If you don’t mind, you can ask her to be one of your bridesmaids."

Nora’s face lit up! "Yes! I can do that! I actually like Olivia. And that reminds me. Is Olivia married. I don’t think I ever saw her with anyone. And if she isn’t then why does she not have the surname Frost?"

Demetri smiled," She is not our biological sister. Our sworn sister. Livi is connected to the Frosts the way you are connected to my brothers."

It took a moment for the penny to drop. The way she was connected...

"You mean..."

"Mmm... she holds the heart of one of the Frost brothers in her hands."

Demetri watched the wheels turn as she started eliminating one by one and wondered if she would be correctly. "It can’t be you, Gabe, Erasmi or Lucien. So it has to be Ian or Seb?"

Nora felt incredulous. Out of all the Frost brothers, these two were the most notorious playboys. She knew of course that once they fell for someone they would probably be as faithful as the rest of the Frosts but she could barely understand the fact that... either one of them had actually fallen for the girl and yet continued to keep his distance.

"Is it Ian?"

Demetri smiled and shook his head. Nora’s eyes widened further. It was Seb?

"Really? How is that even possible? Seb? The one who swears to remain single all his life? But if he really in love..."

"Why does he not pursue her? Why is he not already with her?", Demetri completed her question for her, to which she nodded.

But Demetri simply smiled and wiped his mouth, before standing up and beginning to clear the table," I am not telling you."

"You fraud! How can you tell me only half a story and then leave me hanging."

Demetri shrugged," How I did just now. It’s not my story to share after all."

With a cry of frustration, Nora stood up and ran to Demetri, jumping onto his back. With a jerk, Demetri caught her knees as they reached his waist and teased her," You think I’m a tree, kitten? Climbing on me like this? Hmm?"

"Ha! You didn’t have a problem when I was climbing you in the morning, Mr Husband. Just you wait, I’ll find out everything!"
