Chapter 341 - Christmas Party

Violet and Kal woke up and it was already late in the morning. They went to the kitchen to find two couples making food. 

"What's up?" She asked and Kal raised his hand following his mother's cool greetings although he can't speak. 

"What's up?" Leon grinned at Kal who gave him that 'O' expression. 

"He's hungry," Violet said as she put him on the high chair. She prepared his tea while Leon kissed and hugged Kal who was busy yawning. "What is for Christmas?" She asked. 

"We have Keira and Alessandro's ice cream cake. They gave three for us." Terrence said. "Also, we have the cakes, cookies, and other sweets that she makes. She also makes ref cake and currently, we are making a big ham and turkey for Christmas Eve." 

"That's a lot." She shrugged as she sipped on her tea. "Hmm," She hummed. They stopped when Kal also hummed, mimicking his mother. She smiled at Kal who gave her a bright smile. "He's a happy kid." 

"He is." Maxine agreed. 

"Nam! Nam!" He raised his hand as he closed-opened his fingers toward his mother, indicating that he also went on whatever she's drinking. 

"No, baby. It is not for you." Violet said softly. 

"Love, let's have a baby too," Leon said aloud to his girlfriend who only glanced at him and continued chopping more onions and garlic. 

It was a happy moment. Everyone was busy with the upcoming Christmas event. Although the squad has different events on their own, they become a family. Violet becomes busy with taking care of her son, taking a bath with him, and dressing him up in a Christmas costume. He loved it as he smiled and she quickly took a lot of photos of him. 

"I love you," Violet whispered to him and kissed his forehead. He raised his hands and she quickly carried him. He started talking inaudibly. More like baby talk and she listened although she didn't understand him. But he was chatty like his father. She already bet that Kal would have a lot of girls around him when he grew up. 

"Vi!" Leon knocked on the door. 

"Come in." She said as Leon entered with food. "Just in case you get hungry." He said as he placed it on the table. He then approached Kal and patted his head. "How's my husband doing?" She asked. Leon stopped for a while and pressed his lips. 

"He's doing fine. They are tracking the woman that he slept with. But we clean it up quickly." He kissed Kal's forehead who looked up at him with those twinkling eyes. "They are surely good at sniffing around. But you shouldn't meet him again." He said. "No matter what your reason, you can't meet him again." 

Violet sighed as she stared at her son's eyes that looked so much like Victor. 

"Violet, if you want to see him again. They can't know that you are married to him. Not just that, but they already suspected that you have a child with him." 

"Alright," She nodded her head. She knew that she needed to protect her son first before she fulfilled her needs. "Kal comes first." 

"Good," Leon lightly pinched Kal's fat cheeks and the boy frowned at him. He laughed as he pointed at that adorable face. "Even his frown looks adorable and somewhat like him." 

"Yes," Violet giggled. "You better set up with Alicia. You will be happier with kids around." 

"I am happy with my love. And yes, I think that's a good idea." He grinned and stepped back. "I will go back and help them." 

She nodded as he left. 

"It seems like you have to stay with your Aunt again, my little love," Violet whispered and kissed Kal's nose.

Keira and Alessandro were singing while Harvey, Henry, and Alex were playing certain instruments. Karmina, Carter, and others were sitting on the grand sofa while watching them perform. It was a happy Christmas party that even the people of the old mansion were cheering up and singing along.

"The house has never been this cheerful," Carter said while admiring Princess Keira who was singing beautifully. 

"Yes," Karmina said. "Good for me that I hear my little Princess sing every day back then. My boy was very sweet and very caring. What can I ask for?" She shrugged. 

"You get used to a simple life outside?" Carter asked. "Didn't you ever think of contacting Rossie, your majesty?" 

Karmina reached his wrinkled hand and squeezed it gently. 

"My family was murdered and the people of Rossie are suffering. If I go back, the Charles Empire will continue harassing and torturing everyone here. You manage to get back our reputation, Carter. I am sure that wherever my deceased family is right now, they are proud and happy for your accomplishments and for helping back our people." 

Carter looked away as he admired the heir and heiress of the Rossie Empire. 

"Our country was long annihilated by those rogues, your father and I were planning to take it back. Slowly, we are taking it back. Please, my Queen. Your son and your daughter need to take back our small country." 

Karmina knew well that it was long gone but since he started this he had put a lot of effort into slowly taking every piece of the places around it. The government was near to bankruptcy in that country and the people who lived there were also the people of the Rossie Empire. They are yearning for them to go back and take over. 

"We will." Mina smiled. "I promised." 

They both looked at Keira and Alessandro who did their usual high five. 

"Mom, this next song is for you and dad," Keira said as she glanced at her father-in-law. "Your song will be later." Keira winked. 

"No, Keira. It is better if the two of you won't dedicate any song to me." 

They laughed since they understood what he was saying. He was single again as Alessandro and Keira were already choosing one from the single female managers for Alex. 

Keira and Alex were singing again while Henry was playing the guitar, Alex was playing the piano, and Harvey playing the drums. After that song, Henry stood as he approached Alex and started strumming on the guitar. 

"I wanna fall in love… just give me a woman…" Henry said, making up the lyrics and melody of the song. "God, how can you be so cruel? Was loving me that hard?" 

Alex shook his head and stood ready to walk away and yet Henry followed him and kept singing as Keira started humming to sing from the background. He was blocked by Henry once again while Karmina and others were laughing. 

"I love you!" Henry exclaimed. "Don't walk away!" He sang in a high note. 

"Don't walk away…" Keira and Alessandro sang in the same tune as Alex frowned at the two. 

"Oh, come on. We have a lot of women here. We can screen them if you want." Karmina laughed. 

"Seriously, Mina?" Alex frowned. "I am not desperate. Our kids are making fun of us." 

"It is fun." Karmina laughed and so Henry agreed. 

Harvey stood from his seat as he placed the drumsticks on the table. Then, he sat beside his wife and kissed her lips. On the other corner, Ace was so busy admiring his girlfriend that he didn't notice the surroundings around him. 

"Love, are you hungry?" He asked softly and reached her tummy. 

"A little." She leaned on him. "You play so coolly." She said, "I never saw you play drums before." 

"My love, my father is a great musician. Of course, I know how to play a few musical instruments." He caressed her tummy. "Our baby will be spoiled by her grandparents." He whispered. 

"How would you know that it is a girl?" She grinned at him. 

"Well," He shrugged. "Just some wild guess." He then leaned on her shoulder while admiring her round breasts in front of her round tummy. 

"Where are you looking?" She asked. 

"Both." He grumbled as Keira and Alessandro were making noises and so were their dads. They seemed to be having fun and this is the greatest family in the whole wide world. Both parties were of the same likes and they loved each other. 

"What?" she asked and reached his chin. 

"Babe, I am meditating." He pouted at her as she grinned and kissed his lips. 

"Let the party begin!" Alessandro said aloud as everyone went to the long tables in the banquet and ate happily. 

Then, in a few hours, the exchange gift will start. Mostly, the gifts came from Karmina and Henry, then Keira and Alessandro. They prepared gifts for each staff member of the house. 

"Merry Christmas everyone!" Karmina greeted them as they thanked the Queen. 

Harvey was busy now with greeting his baby inside his wife's stomach. He even has a gift for their baby although they haven't found out the gender. On the other hand, Viper and Guinevere disappear. 

"Daddy had more gifts for you, baby." Harvey kissed her tummy and then he looked up at her. 

"Harvey," She giggled and scooped his face. "We can't have sex now." 

"I know." He kissed her mouth passionately and pulled out after a few seconds and kissed her cheeks. "I just keep missing you." 

"Hmm," She grinned and kissed him passionately.. "I keep missing you too."
