MY BELOVED KNIGHT'S
THE ROMANCE OF XANDERSON
"So, you know, basic Ad, he can't...." Laurel, who was intent on making fun of Ornado, suddenly fell silent for a while while stroking her stomach, making Dave stare intently at her.
"Why mo cuisle? Did something happen to your stomach?" The question from Dave made Laurel hurriedly shake her head so that Dave would not have to worry.
"It's okay, it's just, somehow our baby kick feels so hard in here." Laurel said with eyes staring at her stomach which she still rubbed with her own hands.
"Ah, she must be protesting because you're preventing me from showing my affection for her future husband...." Ornado, who knew Laurel and Cladia from the beginning and always tried to match their child who was still in the womb, said with a seductive face to Laurel.
"Ouch...." Not to mention Ornado continued his words, there was suddenly a soft voice from Cladia's lips, which made Ornado instantly turn towards her with a worried look on his face.
"Why amore mio's stomach?" Ornado immediately asked as soon as he saw Cladia holding her stomach like Laurel.
"It seems, it's not just baby Laurel who's protesting because you're flirting with her future husband, but our baby is apparently in protest because you're flirting with his future in-laws." Cladia's words made the others immediately turn to Cladia and laugh at her joke, while Ornado immediately placed her hand on Cladia's hand which was holding her distended stomach.
"Amore mio... What does that mean... You have agreed we betrothed our son to Dave and Laurel's son?" Ornado immediately said with a face of disbelief, staring at Cladia who was instantly speechless, as she had just regained consciousness, he had been fishing for Ornado who had always asked him to agree that they had betrothed their son to Laurel and Dave's son.
During this time when Ornado talked about arranged marriages, Cladia always showed a lack of agreement, because she was not sure that all arranged marriages that were forcibly made would end happily, because she was not sure that all arranged marriages would end happily, so he wants his children to have the right to choose who will be their partner in accordance with their heart.
While Ornado who since childhood has been betrothed to Cladia, feels that arranged marriage is the best thing he can get to get the girl he loves since they were children.
"Dave! Look yeah, Cladia's agreed to this match, so there's no reason you and Laurel turned it down. Remember your promise to pay your life debt to me by setting up our children." Ornado's words made other laughs wider and louder, including Laurel and Dave who could only chuckle at how insisting Ornado was on their children's matchmaking problems.
"Why sweetie? Is our baby in action because of Ornado? Ad, it looks like my son is protesting too, so prepare yourself, because it looks like our hero is going to compete for the love of Dave and Laurel's beautiful daughter." Alvero said as he looked towards Ornado whose face did not accept, and wanted to reply to Alvero's words.
"It seems that your son must try hard, because my son will not be able to succumb in the affairs of the woman he loves. Don't blame your son for a broken heart." With a confident face, Ornado said to Alvero who seemed to be shaking his shoulders as soon as he heard Ornado's words.
"Al. pity later if those who are still in the stomach, you have been forced to follow a matchmaking event like this." Cladia's words, despite being spoken with a serious demeanor and a sweet smile on her face, made the others laugh again, moreover, those in that place know that the words of Cladia are the most powerful weapon to tame an Ornado who does not know the word surrender in his life so far.
Dave and Laurel, by the way, only being able to look at each other while throwing smiles at each other heard the debate about their babies who were even still in the stomach and did not understand anything about the word and meaning of love, except the love of both their parents that they can feel through every touch and word of their parents when greeting them.
Elenora and James who had just joined could only be good listeners and laugh amusedly, and they had not been able to take part in the conversation either, because they also have not got the windfall like the three romantic couples.
Looks like Elenora and I have to work harder for a baby to grow in Elenora's womb. Looks like I have to get Elenora to talk seriously about raising the intensity of our romance in order to show the results immediately.
James said as he glanced at Elenora, whose appearance now looked even more beautiful, even her way of dressing and dressing often made people think that she was a famous artist.
Feeling that someone was watching him intensely, Elenora immediately turned her head and immediately smiled gently as soon as she saw how James' eyes were looking at him affectionately.
“Aist James's…. No you, no Ad, the Xanderson lineage really likes to show off affection huh. Looks like you guys just assume someone else is hitching a ride in this world.” Laurel's words made the other eye move toward James who initially wanted to wrap his hand around Elenora's shoulder, and hugged her tightly.
Because of the words of temptation from Laurel, inevitably James finally lowered his hand that had been on Elenora's back to prepare to hug Elenora, and could only grimace at the ridicule of Laurel to her.
