Chapter 736: Panic

Dora glanced at the bathroom’s door in a panic. Darn it! It was already nine twenty! At this rate, they might come face to face in the hallway which might not necessarily be good. Adfter all she was the only one on this entire floor so that might be...

Out of patience, she knocked on the door impatiently and hissed," Come on, Kael! You can go home and do your business."

Before she could say more, the door to the bathroom opened and she breathed a sigh of relief before glaring at him,"Why are you wearing a robe?"

But then she shook her head," Fine fine. This works too. Just go in the robe and..." Instead of letting her push him out of the bedroom, Kale dug in his feet and placed his hands on her shoulders, gently pushing her towards the bed until the back of her knees met the bed and she fell backwards. He came to lean over her then as he narrowed his eyes," If you think I am going to leave you here and pretend this never happened then..."

As he said this, the doorbell rang and Kael smirked. Perfect. Cai Frost was here, hmm? She wanted to hide him from Cai? Well, it wasn’t going to be so easy.

Straightening, he sent her a look before purposefully walking towards the door. Dora watched him leave, her heart thundering in her chest before she realized why he had gone. Oh shi! The doorbell.. She tried to call out to him to not open the door, but he ignored her and she coudl only watch in horror before racing after him...

While Dora followed behind him in a panic, Kael was relaxed. Finally, Dora was his. And he hadn’t failed to notice that she’d never been with anyone else. So, no matter how close she was to that man, he- Kael Ignis, was the only man she had been with physically.

His smug expression, however, disappeared when he opened the door. Because standing there, on the other side of the door was not Cai Frost.. Or atleapst Cai was there- standing with a shi* eating grin on his face... while in front of him stood a man who looked like an older version of him and a woman who was now giving him a knowing look.

Nora’s gaze swept over Kael with an amused glint before turning toward her husband, Demetri, whose expression was nothing short of murderous. Oops. Standing behind them with a look of pure panic on her face was Dora, wide-eyed and clearly caught in the chaos.

With an all-too-pleased grin, Nora stepped past Kael, as if he weren’t standing there in nothing but a robe and beamed at Dora. "My little kiddo! Good morning! Surprise!" she sang, her voice light and overly cheerful, adding to the tension.

Demetri, however, was far less cheerful. His broad frame filled the doorway as he deliberately shoved past Kael, his shoulder connecting hard, sending a message without saying a word as he muttered," I wonder who is more surprised."

With her back to her husband, Nora widened her eyes to signal Dora to snap out of the shock and winked at her. Catching on, Dora quickly grinned at Nora and hugged her back before moving to Demetri,"My favourite brother-in-law is here."

Kael meanwhile stood frozen still, clearly caught off guard by everyone’s unexpected presence. But just as he was about to recover, Cai walked in last, glancing at Kael with an air of smugness. "You might want to put some clothes on, mate," Cai muttered dryly, not even bothering to hide his grin as he closed the door behind him.

Cai Frost needed to be punched. Kael decided. The man had a face that deserved to be punched. As he thought of this rather ridiculous statement, he realized that all eyes in the room were now on him.

Dora swallowed hard, as her eyes met his and then began awkwardly, "Uh... everyone this is... uh, Kael. Kael Ignis."

Nora gave a teasing smile and wiggled her eyebrows at Dora, clearly enjoying the situation before she turned to smile at Kael, extending her hand, "Oh, Prince Kael, is it? I was wondering why you looked familiar. "Nice to finally meet you. And thank you for... taking care of Dora during her stay here..." she teased, making Kael blush.

For the first time, Kael the charming had no words as he cleared his throat and muttered," No thanks needed. The pleasure is mine..." And then realizing the double meaning behind his own words, he shook his head and walked backward, "Right, uh... I’ll just go get dressed."

As soon as Kael was out of sight, Dora let out a long, exasperated breath and collapsed onto the nearest chair while not looking at Demon. She could not handle that.

Nora, never one to miss an opportunity, plopped down next to her, elbowing her playfully. "Sooo... Kael, huh? Didn’t expect that when we came over this morning."

Cai leaned against the wall, arms crossed and grinning from ear to ear. "I told you not to give her a surprise. Now look what you did!", he said, unable to resist rubbing it in.

Dora shot him a look then as if telling him, "You should have tried harder to convince them to not come so early."

Cai shrugged back to say that it was her own fault for turning off the phone!

While the two glared at each other, talkign without words, Demetri and Nora were sending signals to each other too. Amidst this, the door to the bedroom opened and Kael stepped out, dressed and more composed...

"Good morning, everyone. Sorry, for earlier. We.. uh... didn’t expect company."

Nora’s grin widened. "Neither did we!" she said cheerfully. "But here we are."

Demetri’s eyes narrowed, locking on Kael, the threat still evident. "Yes, here we are." His voice was even, but there was a distinct edge to it.

Kael cleared his throat. "Well... I suppose now that everyone’s here, perhaps we can all... get some breakfast?"

Dora groaned inwardly as Demon and Nora both nodded in agreement.. This was going to be a long morning.
