The Luna Choosing Game by Jane Above Story novel Chapter 102

Chapter 0102 

The next morning, a knock came early on the bedroom door. Fortunately, Elva and I had risen with the dawn and were already dressed. 

Expecting the nanny, I headed for the door, yet when I drew it open, the person on the other side 

surprised me. 

“Nicholas. What are you doing here?” 

Behind him, Mark cleared his throat. Immediately, I realized my error. 

“Prince Nicholas,” I corrected. After last night, I had become entirely too familiar with him. I had to be more careful, for both our reputations, not to address him so informally. Especially in front of others. 

“I came to see Elva,” Nicholas said. 

“Nick–lass!” 

The rules of propriety, however, did not extend to my three year old. 

Elva rushed toward the door. Nicholas bent down and scooped her up into his arms. Elva giggled as he 

lifted her. 

I’d already told Elva that we would be staying around for a while longer, but she didn’t seem to quite 

believe me. Now that she could actually see Nicholas, it was like those remaining worries had been 

washed away. 

“Come in and play! I want a tea party.” 

“Okay, okay,” Nicholas said. 

When Elva got too squirmy, he set her down. She snatched his hand and pulled him further into the room. 

Nicholas looked at me as he passed. Unlike so many times before, when he gazed at me now, his eyes. held a certain measure of warmth. Ever since last night, when he learned I hadn’t betrayed him – at least not out of choice he had been softer toward me. 

It wasn’t anything like when we had been dating, when his affection was obvious and carefree. But it was less harrowing than the looks of cold indifference I had grown used to the past few weeks 

“Are you joining us for the tea party, Piper?” he asked. 

71 well wanted to say yes but I had other plans. Plans that might show up at any moment. 

Like right now, as Julian sauntered into the room like it belonged to him. When he spotted Nicholas, he didn’t even slow. Instead a smile quirked his l*ps. 

“Oh, good morning, brother.” 

All the good cheer vanished from Nicholas’s face. “What are you doing here, Julian?” 

Julian picked at his nails, as if he hadn’t a care in the world. “Oh. I’m taking Piper on a date today.” 

Nicholas glanced at me. Julian wasn’t wrong, though under Nicholas’s scrutiny now, I kind of wished I 

could deny it. 

“It’s true,” I said. 

Nicholas’s gaze hardened as he sliced it back to Julian, “There was no official date announcement.” 

Julian shrugged. “After what happened last time, can you blame us?” 

“If you had followed the rules–** 

“Rules are boring. Piper and I have plenty of fun on our own.” 

“The tea party, Nick–lass! It’s starting!” Elva tugged on his arm. 

Nicholas grit his teeth, looking for all the world like he wanted to physically tackle Julian, but the little 

Legirl on his sleeve held him back.
