Love's Unexpected Awakening Elowen's Choice novel Chapter 650

Chapter 650 A Dangerous Smile

Then, as though suddenly remembering something, Elowen turned toward Scarlet with a teasing smile.

“And once that happens, Scarlet will have plenty of chances to spend time with Leander too.”

Hearing her name, Scarlet immediately looked up and answered with complete seriousness, “Whatever Your Grace asks of me, I’ll do it properly.”

She sounded so solemn that it almost resembled a knight pledging loyalty before battle.

Elowen arched a playful brow at her, warmth and mischief mixing openly in her expression.

Scarlet immediately flushed faintly pink.

Watching the silent exchange between the two women, Cassian suddenly spoke from beside them.

“Ella, I’ll head to the royal residence shortly.”

Elowen turned toward him at once.

Cassian continued calmly, “I’ll report the matter to His Majesty personally, and I’ll speak with Draven while I’m there.”

At the mention of Draven’s name, something shifted briefly in Scarlet’s expression. Her lashes trembled once before she quickly regained composure.

Elowen noticed the reaction clearly but chose not to say anything about it.

Instead, she simply nodded. “All right.”

Cassian continued staring at her.

Elowen stared back in confusion.

The two remained like that for several long moments, one watching expectantly while the other looked increasingly puzzled.

Eventually, Elowen gave in first.

“Why do you keep looking at me like that?”

Cassian answered with complete composure, “You smiled at Scarlet just now.”

Elowen blinked.

Then he added calmly, “And you raised your eyebrow at her too.”

Elowen fell silent.

Honestly, was he really jealous over something that small?

You’re already a father,” she muttered under her breath, both exasperated and amused at the same time.

Even so, the corners of her lips curled upward affectionately, and she deliberately lifted her brow at him in the exact same teasing way she had done with Scarlet.

Only then did Cassian finally look satisfied.

He picked up his cup and took a slow drink as though he had just won something important.

Later that evening, Cassian made a trip to the royal residence.

Elowen reached for Cassian’s hand and slowly led him back inside. Once they entered the room, she lowered her voice slightly

“Did you speak with Draven? What did he say?”

Cassian answered quietly, “He seemed distracted, but he agreed.”

That distraction most likely had something to do with Scarlet. Elowen did not ask further.

Instead, she quietly relaxed.

Which meant that once Theodric finished investigating Alaric’s death, arrangements would naturally be made to dispose of the body.

And when that happened, Draven would handle the matter personally.

At last, she would finally get Alaric’s head.

Just then, the nursemaids entered carrying the twins.

The babies had only recently finished feeding and were still wide awake, their eyes wandering curiously around the room while their tiny mouths moved now and then in soft, adorable little motions.

After several days of proper care, both children had already become noticeably fairer, and their delicate features were gradually beginning to show.

One of the nursemaids stepped closer with a smile.

“They were fussing nonstop a moment ago, but the instant they heard they were coming to see Your Grace, they settled down right away.”

Elowen watched them quietly for a moment before her expression softened completely.

“Come here. Let me hold her.”

The nursemaid carefully brought Emily forward.

Elowen gently gathered her daughter into her arms and supported the tiny body carefully against her elbow before lowering her head to study her,

Emily stared up at her with wide eyes, almost as though she were trying to recognize her face.

Elowen leaned down and brushed her cheek gently against the baby’s soft little face.

“My sweet Poppy. My precious Emily. I’m your mother.”

As though she truly understood the words, Emily suddenly broke into a gummy smile.

The expression was so soft and sweet that Elowen immediately felt her heart melt.

Nearby, Caius watched the entire exchange from his nursemaid’s arins and immediately started making loud protesting noises as though unwilling to be ignored.

Still holding Emily, Elowen looked over at her son and deliberately copied the same gentle tone.

“My sweet Phoenix. Mytle Carus. I’m your mother too.”

The moment Caius looked at her, he immediately burst into delighted giggles. He laughed so enthusiastically that several drops of drool slipped out afterward.

Elowen laughed helplessly at the sight.

Watching from beside her, Cassian leaned closer and copied Elowen’s tone with perfect seriousness.

“Caius, I’m your father.”

Caius froze instantly.

His round eyes widened dramatically while his tiny mouth trembled downward.

Then, without warning, he burst into loud, heartbroken sobbing.
