Brian quirked an eyebrow and declared, âIâll be wherever my wife is!â
The very notion of staying in a hotel while his wife was present seemed absurd.
âHow can a hotel ever compare to the comfort of staying here? Iâm still recuperating, so staying here is preferable.
If something were to happen, someone would be here for me.
I have to bother you guys for a few days,â Lyndon explained.
Brian shot Lyndon a look, cursing him silently.
What a lame excuse! If it was really uncomfortable living in a hotel, why he hadnât stayed with the Moreno family in the preceding days?
Lyndon met his gaze.
A spark seemed to fly between them before Lyndon averted his eyes nonchalantly.
Lyndonâs attitude conveyed, âIâll stay right here, what can you do to me?â
Brian was unhappy with Lyndonâs choice but kept his emotions under wraps.
He overheard Brendan instructing the servant, âApart from Rosalynnâs room, prepare two additional rooms, please.
â
Two more rooms?
Why two rooms?
Brian squinted his eyes.
He and Rosalynn were married.
Wasnât it obvious they should share a room?
Lyndon noticed his puzzled look and smiled.
âMr.
Hughes, itâs a tradition in Skrix that a married couple shouldnât share a room in the brideâs family home.
Itâs considered bad luck for the brideâs parents,â he explained.
Brian fell silent, pondering the persistence of such old-fashioned customs.
Despite Lyndonâs evident amusement, Brian maintained a cool facade.
He wasnât bothered.
After all, he was the Morenoâs son-in-law, practically family.
His wife was his alone.
Others could only look on and envy their bond.
Meanwhile, at a five-star hotel in Skrix, Selina had requested a lavish room, Shortly after, the doorbell chimed.
She rose to answer it and was greeted by Aldrichâs presence.
He wore a charming smile and, without a word, pressed her against the wall, sealing their reunion with an ardent kiss.
