After Sleeping with My Childhood Prince, I Kicked Him Out from My World novel Chapter 91

Chapter 91

66. Dinner

<<. Miles. >>

I’m in the kitchen, surrounded by the fragrant smell of spices and the sizzling of the pan on the stove. Avery and Alfred have just arrived.

After meeting him this noon, I went back to the office to wrap up my work while Avery packed her stuff.

I am a little nervous. I don’t know what happened, but I suddenly felt a bundle of affection when I saw Avery getting scolded like a little girl.

I couldn’t let her take the heat alone.

She pulled me into her room and asked, “Are you out of your mind?”

“I guess so.”

She eyed me for a moment and poked a finger into my chest. “OK. But we will live in different rooms. I cannot afford that you start hating me because I took away your privacy.”

I gave it a thought. “Alright. You certainly know more than me about relationships.”

She grimaced. “Only failed relationships….”

I pulled her in my embrace and said, “You know what they say…. Do not be embarrassed by your failures, learn from them and start again… So use me to start again.”

Alfred clears his throat behind me, and I come out of my chain of thoughts. My eyes fall on Avery and she is busy setting up the table with plates and silverware I handed her.

“I never imagined you would be into cooking.”

“I like to do it on occasions…”

A thought crosses my mind. I don’t know if Avery likes to cook or not. Although if we will have dinner regularly, maybe it’s high time to hire a chef.

He nods.

“I am glad you two resolved your differences, but remember Liam-” I wince at his use of name… That was a reckless decision. Now all that game seems childish. “-I just wanted to remind you that marriage is not easy. It takes work and compromise from both partners. But if you keep communication open and put in the effort, it can be the most fulfilling thing you’ll ever do…. I just want you both to handle things better before it’s too late in any argument.”

I nod and wince inwardly again.

Chapter 91

Avery is right to be worried. Someday we will have to tell him the truth. Alfred will be so damn disappointed in both

of us.

“I understand Dad. we both will try to do better.”

After that we casually make some chatter. I take a glance at the dining area. Avery is sitting at the table, silently watching us with a warm smile on her face. I can tell that she’s happy. That’s guaranteed good sex for the night.

Because of her packing, my work and this planned dinner, we couldn’t make it to the barn for her training tonight. Maybe we will explore some options in my bedroom.

As we sit down to eat the grilled salmon with a lemon butter sauce and roasted vegetables, the conversation turns to our hobbies and interests. Avery tells us about her passion for photography. I make a mental note to make sure she has the best cameras in the world at her disposal.

Alfred’s phone rings, and he makes his way to the balcony to talk. After a while, our phones vibrate.

I ignore my phone while Avery picks up hers.

Her reaction stunned.

“It’s Raylan,” she says. “Della has been arrested.”

I frown. So soon?

She looks at me perplexed and hesitantly asks, “Did you… pull this off? Because Investigation wasn’t even complete, Miles…. How?”

“What? No.” I feel a little embarrassed at her accusation. Do I have resources to pull this off?

Yes.

But I didn’t because I simply didn’t want to. Avery was conflicted when I told her I had a hand in leaking her chats

to the media. I did that because her investigating officer wasn’t taking her case seriously.

Why would I hamper an ongoing investigation?”

Alfred makes his way inside the room with a grim expression.

“It was Joy…Uhmmm Della has been arrested.”

“Did they give any reason? Is it related to my case?”

“they haven’t disclosed anything. But only mentioned that they gathered sufficient evidence and they believe that the attacker poses an imminent threat to public safety.”

He takes a seat in defeat.

“Why don’t you stay here for the night, dad?” I suggest.

He shakes his head and gets up. “I am in such a limbo. Joy was hysterical.”

You should go to her,” Avery says and Alfred looks at her.

Yes dad. I understand you. Della is your daughter too. No matter what they do…” She takes a pause. “And it must be hard on you.”

He nods and gets up. Alfred is clearly conflicted. I can see it on his face.

“After crying her heart out, she will throw a tantrum. But before that, I can sure offer her a shoulder….. I should leave now,” he says finally and I look at his plate, then glance at Avery, wondering if I should ask him to stay a little longer.

Avery shakes her head.

He walks towards the door and says, “It’s hard on me… but Della needs to face consequences of her actions. She is no longer a child who can have everything. This time she crossed a line.”

Avery bites her lips and nods. “It means a lot to me, dad…”

Avery’s father excuses himself, and Avery and I are left alone in silence.

You okay?”

She shrugs and gets up.

I think I need to call in the night. I want to lie in bed.”

I scratch my head.

This is not how I expected the night to be.

7 made some dessert too. Would you like that?”

“Sure,” she says and walks to the kitchen counter with me.

“Who taught you to cook?

Mom had this chef at home. I would sneak in. and learn a trick or two…

I hand her the plate and she says, “This smells nice what is it?
