Chapter 1101 1044: Dinner With The Fox Mother And Daughter
Three days later at a certain house.
From the outside, this house looks nice and traditional. It has been built with sandstone and has oak wooden decorations. Large, octagon windows add to the overall style of the house and have been added to the house in a mostly symmetric way.
The house is equipped with a small kitchen and one average bathroom, it also has a generous living room, three bedrooms, a large dining area, a lounge area, and a small storage room.
The building is shaped like an L. The extension extends into glass overhanging panels reaching the end of that side of the house.
The second floor is bigger than the first, which creates a stylish overhang on two sides of the house. This floor has a different style than the floor below.
The roof is low and v-shaped and is covered with stone slabs. Two small chimneys sit on either side of the house. Many smaller windows let in plenty of light to the rooms below the roof.
The house itself is surrounded by a gorgeous garden with many hidden lights that make the garden come to life at night.
Alex and Kuina arrived at this house owned by the empress, Kuina's mother, one of the many houses she owned all over the empire. They were invited inside but Kuina was busy showing her affection for him so much that it irritated the empress.
''I say, can you u two stop flaunting your relationship in front of me? The food will taste bitter for me." The poutingly complained as she watched Kuina and Alex flirt with each other even at the dinner table. Because she was sitting across from them, everything was captured in her eyes and she was quite annoyed, their display of affection remained her of her single and lonely status which was infuriating.
Alex chuckled not daring to look his mother-in-law in the eyes, he would be a fool for not understanding that his lover was doing this intentionally, she was being affectionate. This girl was acting more affectionately today. Ever since they arrived, she hadn't left his side. As for Alex, he also didn't pass up on the chance to dote on his lovely fox girl. Like a gentleman he was, he must assist his woman in whatever she was accomplishing, only this way she would feel loved, important, and cared for. He had to support her no matter what the circumstances would be because he was sure she would also do the same.
''I say, Eriel can you stop provoking me?" The empress said with her arms crossed.
Kuina first chuckled and then turned to her mother for a moment and responded to her complaint, "Mom, he won't stay for long. Can't I act spoiled while he's here?"
'Yeah, I could believe that. However, it's undoubtedly not her complete reason.' He thought but still decided to play along, at least for now.
He immediately also tipped in, following Kuina's answer. ''I apologize for this, mother-in-law. I also can't help but spoil your daughter. She is so cute I can't help myself.''
He paused for a while there as he alternately looked at both mother and daughter. Then, he continued, "But you're right. We should stop, Kuina. It's disrespectful to the food. Your mother prepared this for me, I think it's best if we enjoy this together."
"I'm glad that you get it, Alex. Now, Eriel. What say you?" Kuina's mother beamed a smile as she approvingly nodded. However, she smirked as she delivered that question to her daughter.
'Mother-in-law, are you aware that you're trying to spark a rivalry between you and your daughter? Stop teasing her and let's eat for my stomach's sake.' Alex almost shouted but managed to stop himself as he didn't want to give Kuina's mother another target to tease, letting her daughter suffer was enough.
Because Kuina failed to anticipate that Alex would say that and her mother would use it to put her up there, she pursed her lips as she disgruntledly let go of his arm. She would have been more infuriated if she knew what her man previously thought, just a few seconds ago.
''Ah! This is great. To think that my man will side with my busy mom... Okay, I admit defeat."
Alex thought of saying something there to clear it up. But Kuina's movements were swift.
She picked up a fork and stabbed a rather large slice of meat. While sporting a menacing smile towards him as if saying 'I dare you to embarrass me again.' the girl pushed the meat close to his mouth. "Here, Alex, let me feed you instead. Say aah for me~"
'Hum! There's no doubt. She's already upset with him for siding with her mother.' Alex thought.
Understanding that gesture. He unhesitatingly opened his mouth wide and let her stuff that meat inside, hoping that it would ease the girl's dismay.
Fortunately, that's effective. Kuina immediately appeared satisfied. She even picked up a table napkin to carefully wipe the sauce that stained the corners of my lips. And right after that, her beautiful smile resurfaced.
"Delicious?" She asked. And with his mouth full, Alex could only respond with a nod.
He mean, with how large that was, he spent fifteen seconds chewing it to bits.
Watching all that from the side, Kuina's mother seemingly became amused at the sight as she burst into a peal of laughter.
''Fufufu! You two seemed cute together, it's to the extent that I will make one jealous.'' She said and Kuina rolled her eyes at her mother before provoking her.
''You can try if you want only if you're that confident that is.''
''Oh! Little girl doesn't provoke me. There won't even be a bone left after I devour him. Don't provoke the fox.'' Kuina's mother responded to her daughter's provocation with a mysterious smile but to Alex, this smile was truly dangerous because it gave him goosebumps all over his body, he didn't want to be part of a game between foxes. They are dangerous as succubus in the story.
The two kept competing for a moment before finally deciding to enjoy the dinner, Alex was amused because he finally understood Kuina's behavior, her mother had rarely timed her and for her to propose this dinner touched her, and too happy she decided to make use of this rare opportunity to tease and enjoy her time with her mother and because of her love for him, she didn't mind showing him this childish side of her.
'You are cute when you act pampered.' He thought watching the mother-daughter pair playing together.
