Surprised Wife With Twins novel Chapter 1616

Chapter 1616: False Alarm

Soon, two servants appeared at the entrance, their eyes fixed upon the woman in the kitchen as they halted their steps.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" one of them asked warily, scrutinizing Claire without recognizing her.

Even if they did recognize her, she shouldn't be present in the crucial area of the kitchen. If there was any problem with the king's meal, she would be the prime suspect. The responsibility was too significant for anyone to bear.

Claire was caught off guard. Though she appeared calm, her heart was already in panic. Being in this place was a mistake, and no reason or explanation would hold.

"I'm sorry, I'm looking for Prince Taylor," Claire said, her lips curling into a smile, calmly addressing them. "I thought he was here because I saw him coming in this direction."

"Why would the prince be here?" one of them stepped forward, their voice cold andharsh, staring at Claire with disbelief. "At this hour, Prince Taylor might not even be awake!"

"Come with me to see the steward! You'll explain yourself to him!" the other servant ordered.

Claire realized the situation was turning bad. If she was taken to see the steward, she would undoubtedly be searched. No, she couldn't go to the steward!

At that moment, Prince Taylor appeared at the kitchen entrance. He had overheard the servants' reprimand and noticed them blocking the way.

"What's going on?" Taylor asked as he approached. "Isn't Father's breakfast being served?"

As he spoke, he caught sight of the familiar figure inside.

"Claire?" Taylor was taken aback.

"Hello, Prince," the two servants hurriedly greeted him, feeling a bit flustered. How did he end up here?

Taylor, ignoring them, walked straight to Claire. "How are you? They didn't give you any trouble, did they?"

Claire hadn't relaxed yet and simply looked at him calmly, shaking her head without saying a word.
