Husband With Benefits
Chapter 738: Stop

Chapter 738: Stop

"Why are you staring at me?" Dora demanded, her eyes narrowing at Nora and Demetri as they sat side by side, watching her with an intensity she found unnerving now that Kael had left the room.

She glanced at Cai, who immediately mimed zipping his mouth shut, offering her a sheepish grin that screamed ’not getting involved.’ Traitor, she thought.

"Nora Frost, if you don’t tell me what’s going on in those devious little heads of yours, I swear I’ll teach your baby every curse word known to man! And not just in one language either—ten different languages at least. So before that sweet little thing says ’Mama,’ they’ll be screaming ’Fuck!’ loud and proud!"

Nora’s eyes widened in horror as she protectively covered her pregnant belly, shooting Dora an icy glare. "How can you be so careless with your words? I won’t let you anywhere near my baby if you do that!"

Dora smirked, folding her arms smugly. "Ha! I’m to be the godmother, Frost. You can’t stop me from fulfilling my sacred duty."

Nora raised an eyebrow, not backing down. "Oh, really? You want to play dirty with threats, huh? Fine. Let me just call Uncle Alex. I’m sure he’d love to hear how his precious daughter is behaving these days."

Dora winced at the mention of her father but wisely kept her mouth shut, offering nothing as Nora dialed the number. But then turned to Demetri imploringly, asking him to intercede only for him to shrug in reply, leaving her to fend for herself.

Sighing in defeat, Dora raised her hands in surrender. "Alright, alright. I’ll tell you whatever you want to know. Just don’t involve papa yet."

Nora paused mid-dial, one finger hovering over the screen. "You sure?"

"Yes, yes," Dora grumbled, already inwardly cursing her situation. "Do I have a choice?" She muttered under her breath, furiously planning her escape from this verbal trap. If she could steer the conversation carefully, she could edge around the truth. They probably just wanted to know about him, anyway... Surely, it couldn’t be anything too difficult.

"Why is your boyfriend jealous of Cai and you?"

Nora smirked, her eyes sparkling with that infuriating, all-knowing look. "I said, I want to know why your boyfriend has been glaring at Cai like he wants to bury him six feet under the ground. He looks awfully jealous of your relationship."

Crap. Of all the questions in the world, why this one? Why did Nora always have to strike where she had no defenses?

"What kind of a question is that?" Dora spluttered, scrambling for time. "Aren’t you more concerned about- I don’t know- what kind of man he is, where I met him, what I think of him? You know, the usual interrogation?"

But of course, Nora wasn’t taking the bait. She snorted, unimpressed. "I don’t need to know the answers to that. And as for what you think of him, I’d say you think plenty highly of him, considering you let him spend the night at your place."

Dora felt her heart stop for a split second. "How do you know he spent the night here? Maybe he came over in the morning."

"How do you know he spent the night here? Maybe he came in the morning?"

"Really? There was no water in the Royal Palace of Petrovia so he came over to your place to take a bath?"

"Really?" Nora crossed her arms and gave Dora an incredulous look. "Let me guess—there was no water in the Royal Palace of Petrovia, so he just had to come over to your place to take a bath at dawn?"

Dora grimaced, while Cai, let out a loud guffaw, unable to contain himself any longer. His laughter echoed in the room having both the women immediately turn their attention to him, narrowing their eyes in unison. Cai winced, raising his hands. Wrong time. Wrong place. "Oops," he muttered sheepishly.

"Him! Ask him! He’s the one at fault here! He’s the one who told me I should sleep with Kael!"

Cai’s mouth dropped open, his eyes widening in shock at the betrayal. "I did not!" he sputtered. "That’s a total misrepresentation of the facts! Also, the next time I tell you to jump into a well, will you?"

"Nice try, Dora, but you’re not dodging this one. Now, spill. What’s going on between your boyfriend and Cai? Because he’s got the kind of death stare that says he’s ready to pick a fight, and we want to know why."

Dora’s shoulders slumped and she slowly explained the entire story from dating Kael to his betrayal to ultimately letting him think that she was two timing him. Finally, once she’d spilled the entire story, she expected Nora to reprimand her for the lie, etc but instead Nora looked at her and started to laugh," So, you’re teaching him a lesson?"

Dora nodded slowly, glancing sideways with trepidation towards Demetri before Nora laughed again, attracting her attention," And how did this lesson teaching turn to this..."

"I don’t know..." Dora said sheepishly before glancing another look at Demetri," Will you say something?"

Demetri smiled then... and gave Dora chills as he said," Of course. I think Petrovia is a beautiful country."

Dora frowned while Nora whipped her head around to stare at Demetri as she said," Oh no!"

Cai and Dora both leaned forward now, knowing something big was about to be announced...as Demon continued," Do you remember I told you there will come a day when you will regret taking the Frosts as your brother?"

Dora’s stomach sank at the words, a weird feeling inside her making her queasy..."That day had finally come..." Demon finished before turning to Cai," Tell your father and the others that I’ve found the perfect location for the next family holiday destination. Oh... and they should bring some fishing and hunting gear... We will be going fishing and hunting..."

Cai nodded then while casting a sympathetic glance towards Dora who could only cry dry tears...Kael Ignis would regret the day he decided to meet her when he was attacked by the force that was the Frosts.
