Chapter 560
“You could have delivered the same message on the phone,” Dominick stated, his tone cold and clearly displeased with her presence. “Don’t you think you’re inviting danger not only for yourself but for us too?” He glared at her for being unprofessional, even though he knew she was a trained spy.
“Forgive me,” Jeniva said, lowering her gaze slightly, admitting her fault. She then turned around and quietly left the living room.
Evan gazed at Dominick, who usually never looked this angry. But after the fallout of his marriage, he felt the Alpha Prince must be going through a tough time, that was why he was reacting in such a manner. He took his leave too and walked out of the house.
“Hey, Jeniva!” He called her from behind and hurried to catch up to her. She turned around, having already opened an app to book a ride for herself.
“I will drop you to your home,” Evan offered immediately.
“It’s fine. I will go. It won’t be good if someone sees me with you,” Jeniva stated, keeping her focus on security protocols, despite Evan’s friendly gesture.
“I will not drop you exactly outside your home, but just a little away. How about that?” Evan suggested.
Jeniva couldn’t refuse the compromise and agreed for his help. Entering the car, Evan started the engine and asked for her home’s address. Jeniva was quick to tap it on the GPS device and fastened her seatbelt.
While driving on the main highway, Evan broke the silence. “Prince Dominick is going through a rough phase of his life. That’s why he reacted in such a manner. I hope you won’t mind him p>
“I understand,” Jeniva murmured. “I did bother him, though. I’m thankful that he didn’t punish me for speaking too much when he didn’t even demand any explanation,” she said, smiling a little.
“He doesn’t punish anyone like that. Ever since his marriage has fallen apart, he became like this. I would say he was the calmest prince among the three,” Evan asserted.
“Did he get separated from his mate?” Jeniva inquired, not aware of any such thing about the Crown Prince.
“Yeah. A lot happened and he’s now officially divorced,” Evan replied, the statement hanging heavy in the air.
“Oh.” Jeniva didn’t know what she had to say further. The ride turned into a quite one as none of them spoke further.
“You can stop over there. I’ll walk from there,” Jeniva pointed to her left after some time.
“Sure,” Evan agreed and slowly turned the car in that direction. He applied the brakes and watched Jeniva step out. She waved at him before walking ahead.
“I wonder why Prince Dominick is acting like this toward Jeniva,” he mumbled before turning to the district headquarters.
Katelyn woke up late in the morning and jumped out of the bed seeing the time on the clock. She found herself in a night dress, realizing Sage had put it on her before she fell asleep due to exhaustion.
She quickly walked out of the room, following Sage’s irresistible scent, and found him in the kitchen, casually whisking eggs in a bowl, preparing breakfast for them.
“Why didn’t you wake me up? It’s already past nine o’clock,” Katelyn remarked, feeling a bit guilty for sleeping in.
Sage lifted his head, thus meeting her gaze, his eyes still holding a satisfied warmth from the night before. “It’s Saturday,” he replied simply.
“Oh!” Katelyn bit her bottom lip, suddenly feeling foolish for forgetting the weekend.
“Go and freshen up. By the time you’re done, the breakfast will be ready,” Sage opined, passing her a relaxed smile.
He focused back on the meal preparation. Finishing, he removed the apron after setting the table and watched Katelyn walking in, looking refreshed.
“Should we go out later?” She suggested, lowering herself onto the chair.
“Yeah. Let’s go to the carnival,” Sage stated, sitting across from her. He served her first, asking her to start eating.
“I was thinking of buying gifts for your sisters and father. Mom mentioned it to me last time, but it skipped my head. We can visit them later in the evening. What do you say?” Katelyn asked, already planning their day.
Sage paused, stirring his coffee. “That sounds perfect. They would be happy to see you. We can go to the carnival first, then do the shopping, and head to the main packhouse before dinner p>
“Mmm… You make the omelette quite differently. It tastes so amazing,” she complimented his cooking skills. She picked up the hot coffee mug and took a small sip.
“You know I’ve been thinking about something in the shower p>
“What is it?” Sage asked, giving her his full attention.
Katelyn lowered the fork on the plate and leaned back on the chair. “The witch is going to trouble Amelie and Gabriel soon p>
“Gabriel didn’t mention anything about this to me,” Sage said, his expression becoming serious instantly.
“Because my brother does not like to bother anyone with his matters. Even I shouldn’t get involved, but I’m worried for them. Brother Gabriel looked troubled this time. He saw his past, and what happened there. He suffered a lot by the looks of him, I felt that,” Katelyn muttered, her concern evident.
“I would say let Gabriel handle the matter by himself. I remember a sorcerer is helping them,” Sage asserted, trying to soothe her worries. “Gabriel will be angry if you get involved. He must have a plan in his mind p>
“You’re right. I was just worried,” Katelyn murmured, picking up the fork again. “Noah is growing at a faster rate. You know I couldn’t understand the fact that why Alex wanted to kill Amelie. He knew Brother Gabriel would end him easily, despite that he was adamant on ending Amelie. I don’t know why am I even thinking all of this suddenly? But it seems strange to me p>
“You’re thinking a lot of things at once. Some men are just jerks. He would have thought if Amelie would be gone, Gabriel would do nothing to him,” Sage affirmed, asking her to dismiss that tension from her head.
