My Evil Boy Toy

Chapter 126 - 126 - The King's Words

Jayden took me to our bedroom first and checked the whole area first. The last time he left me here, I was taken by my father's men. So to make sure that no one would be able to take me, he asked Owen and the other guy who I didn't even know the name to guard me inside the room.

"Love? Are you sure it's necessary to guard me inside the room?" I asked.

"They will stay in the living area, you could stay in the bedroom. Wait for me." He said.

I understand that he's worried but I'm not comfortable that I am being guarded even inside our own room.

When he saw that I was frowning, he pulled me inside the bedroom and embraced me tight. He cupped my face and stared at me.

"Hey, I know what you feel but I'm really worried. My mind will be at ease if some of my men are near you. Please. I'm really worried." He pleaded.

He doesn't really have to beg. If I were in his shoe, I would feel the same way. I was worried about Caden and if only I could go now to him this instant, I will do it to protect him from my father.

"It's fine. I'm not yet familiar with them so I'm a little uncomfortable. I mean I know Owen just by his name and the other guy, I don't even know his name." I giggled.

"Oh he's Rupert. He's my cousin, he's a Castello. He's been with me for two years now. He doesn't talk much but he's reliable and I think he likes Missy." Jayden smiled.

"I see. Alright, I'll stay here for now but I will go to the living room if I get bored. I'll chat with them so don't be jealous!"

"I'm not! Who says I easily get jealous?" He said, smirking.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him before he left.

I took a quick shower and started to pack our things. Tonight will be our last night here and tomorrow morning we'll be coming home. I'm sad and excited at the same time. Sad because I will be leaving grandpa, Emily and my brother. Excited because I will be with my son and my other friends.

I took a deep breath and continued to pack our belongings.

JAYDEN POV

Peggy's grandpa wanted to talk to me along with Kyle. I already had plans on meeting him so I didn't expect him to call for me.

After bringing Peggy to our bedroom and making sure everything's fine, I went directly to her grandpa's bedroom. I know Kyle was already there since his servants and guards were outside the room. 

They bowed to me as a greeting. I'm not really used to the Flousian tradition. I know people usually bow to their king and queen and whole royal family but I'm not really comfortable to see people bowing in front of me. Well, I'm a prince now since I married Peggy so I really have to get used to this kind of treatment.

I knocked a few times before entering the room. Kyle was seated to the bedside and they looked at me when they saw me.

"Jayden come in!" Grandpa said.

I smiled at him and walked towards the bed.

"Grandpa how are you?" I asked.

"I'm fine now that Peggy is safe." He answered.

Then his face became serious. He looked at me then to Kyle.

"Kyle, you will be the king in two months. I know I will leave the throne to you two years early. I'm sorry." He started.

"Grandpa, don't say that. I'm the one who asked you to do that." Kyle said.

"Still, the reason was because I am sick. So it is my fault. I'm weak."

"Grandpa, it wasn't your fault so please stop blaming yourself. I want to take the throne early and it is an honor to be the youngest king in the history of Flousia." Kyle answered to lessen grandpa's burden.

"You really are the kindest person I know. I was happy when your mother gave you to me. I never had a son and you are the one who filled the gap in my heart when your mom left me." He sounded like he was about to cry.

Kyle sighed and didn't say a word. I know if he will say another word, he might burst into tears.

Grandpa suddenly looked at me.

"Jayden, please take care of my granddaughter. I want you to promise that you will never hurt her again and you will protect her from her father." He said.

I felt like something pierced my heart. My chest is in pain. I couldn't speak, like something was blocking my throat. He wasn't my grandfather, he was Peggy's but he was nice to me and accepted me even though I wronged his granddaughter. And I know Peggy will be sad to hear him say that.

"Grandpa, I regret everything I did wrong to Peggy. You don't need to ask me. I will do everything for your granddaughter. But I want you to see how I will protect her. And we are working on having another baby so you need to see and play with our kids. Kyle will have one someday and you will be there to see our family grow."

He smiled at me and whispered. "Thank you Jayden. I'm looking forward to that day."

Then he turned to Kyle again, then to me and back to Kyle. I frowned.

He suddenly grabbed something in his neck. It was a necklace with a key as a pendant.

"Kyle, I'll be handing this to you now. This is the key to Flousia's hidden treasure and a king's most confidential secret.

Kyle and I glanced at each other. This is what we are talking about with the other guys yesterday at the hospital. 

"I know you are looking for the other files about the Mafia. I haven't had a chance to use it against them. I chose the easy way and didn't fight them. But from what I've seen so far you and your friends will be able to handle them. Kyle, I know you will be a great king. You will be able to achieve the things that the kings of Flousia before you were not able to do." Grandpa said, proudly.

We were quiet for a moment but then grandpa started sobbing. Kyle tapped him at the back. I know he wanted to cry because I felt the same but we couldn't. We need to stay strong for him.
