Chapter 26

Chapter 0026 I was surprised by the dinner request and my brows shot upward to my hairline.

“You want to have dinner with me?” I asked.

“There’s plenty of food for you as well, Madam,” the maid added, a wide grin on her face, I looked back at Matt for confirmation, and he looked so small and almost nervous at that moment. I wondered what it was about.

“My dad is never home for dinner and my sister hasn’t bee home since she started dating that Ethan guy,” Matt confessed.

“Sometimes Butler Adam will eat with me, but not always. I get lonely...”

My heart tugged for the child, and I put my hand on his shoulder, reassuringly.

“I would love to have dinner with you, Matt,” I told him. “Then afterward, we can play that game, and I’ll show you how to beat that level.”

He beamed at my promise and jumped to his feet.

“Come on!” He said, grabbing my arm and pulling me towards the kitchen.

The dining table was set up for only Matt and it made me sad to see the lonely sight. The maid quickly walked in behind us and set another place for me, giving me a sheepish smile. I sat at the table beside Matt as the maid poured us some juice before serving the meal.

It w t was a delicious stew; I hadn’t realized how hungry I was until it was right in front of me. My stomach was growling by the time I had my first bite of the food. While we ate, I listened to Matt talk about school, his interests, and about some of the friends he has.

I had to admit that I enjoyed spending time with the little gay. He seemed pleased to have me there keeping him company and I enjoyed that I could do that for him.

After our meal, I offered to clean the table and dishes, but the maids insisted on doing it for us.

“It’s their job,” Matt explained.

“That doesn’t mean we can’t be helpful,” I told him.

He shrugged.

“Can we play the game now?” He asked, bouncing in his seat.

I smiled at him.

“Yes, I did promise you that we would,” I told him.

He eagerly jumped out of his seat and ran into the parlor where I left his tablet on the coffee table. I followed after him.

I sat on the couch with him and taught him everything I knew about the game. I showed him exactly what I did to beat the level, and he followed my instructions perfectly. After he successfully beat the level, he jumped up and clapped, I laughed and then I gasped in surprise when he wrapped his arms around me to hug me.

“Can we keep playing?” He asked.

I thought about it for a moment.

“Well, you did finish your homework. I suppose you earned a bit more gameplay. But tomorrow we are going to 1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 0026 work extra hard on studying your letters and math before we do some defense training. Understood?”

He beamed as he nodded.

“Can you teach me how to shoot the bow and arrow too?” He asked. “I have trouble with my aiming.”

“Can yo “I would be happy to teach you everything I know,” I assured him.

He t back down and handed me the tablet, wanting me to continue with the next level. For the next 30 minutes, we continued passing the tablet back and forth, sharing the gameplay and chuckling periodically at all the mishaps that happened during the gaming process.

The entire time, Adam hadn’t made a single appearance to check on us. I almost completely forgot about him until I heard his voice outside of the parlor.

“She let him play on his tablet and they’ve been doing nothing but goofing off the entire time,” I heard Adam saying “I made a mistake by allowing her here in the first place. She’s not fit to be his tutor. They have done nothing productive, Alpha!”

1 I looked up at the closed doorway with a frown and before I knew what was happening, the door flew open and Gavin walked into the parlor, startling us both. Matt nearly dropped the tablet but thankfully I caught it before it hit the ground.

“Dad, you’re home,” Matt said with an awkward smile on his lips as if he knew he was caught doing something he shouldn’t be doing, Gavin glared at me with his arms folded across his chest.

“What exactly is going on in here, Miss Montague?”
