71 Chapter 71 : Hide and Seek (1/2)
Lily huffed as she glared at her two sons. One who had the exact personality of hers and the other who was like his father.
Julie and James couldn't help but shake their heads in unison. They couldn't help but wonder whether Usui would bring a girl back home or not.
James looked at Usui and sighed, 'Why did he have to be like me? My wife is sure going to have a headache dealing with our children.'
Right when Lily stopped to catch her breath, Zelal ran over to hide behind his brother and used him as a shield. Lily's eyes flared on seeing his youngest son's antics. She tried running around Usui but Zelal kept moving around all the while making use of his human shield.
Finally, Lily couldn't run anymore so she exasperatedly roared, ”Stop hiding behind your brother”
Zelal popped his head up on Usui's shoulder as he asked, ” Would you stop hitting me then?”
Lily exhaled heavily as she said, ”I will.”
”Then no” and hid behind Usui again. 'Ha! Did you think I will fall for your trick twice!'
”You ungrateful-”
Suddenly she stopped as she coughed heavily. Immediately their father rushed towards his wife and rubbed her back. He glared at his son angrily which made Zelal plaster himself onto his brother.
He whispered desperately, ” Brother please just help me out here. I don't want to be sent to a brothel. Look at them, they are undoubtedly thinking of selling me.”
Usui rubbed the space between his eyebrows tiredly, ” Mother, Why are you behaving like this?”
Lily puffed up her cheeks as she responded, ”What do you know.... she was a beautiful loving girl. My grandchildren would have been so adorable and pretty.” Then she tutted as she said, ” Tsk... now you made me lose such a beautiful daughter-in-law, Who is going to give me my adorable grandchildren?”
James corrected her, ”Our's dear.”
Lily glared at her husband who turned mute instantly and turned to Usui miserably, ”Now that I lost my grandchildren. How do you plan on compensating me?”
”Well I indeed rejected the princess but I never said that you will not get your grandchildren.”
The three people widened their eyes in shock as they gaped at the Crown Prince. Suddenly Lily jerked her husband's hand away and reached out to catch Zelal by his ear and pulled him out.
She asked seriously as she twisted his ear, ” Tell me, What happened to your brother? Are you sure this is my son? Did someone knock his head during the battle?”
Zelal rolled his eyes at his mother's questions. He knew this would happen so he said softly, ” Ha!! Don't worry... I was like that in the beginning too.”
Usui exhaled as he uttered, ” Forget it... I have already found a person so just stop thinking of setting me up in blind dates.”
Zelal's lips twitched as he watched his mother's excitement. The only Queen in history to be okay with having a commoner as her daughter-in-law. But a helpless smile soon grazed his face as he thought, 'The main reason why she is being loved by the people.'
A smile formed on Usui's face as he remembered his woman, stunning everyone, ” I will bring her to you soon. At that time, you will meet her and you can ask her directly.”
Lily pouted her lips disappointedly but Usui returned to his cold self and left. Before Zelal could follow him, Julie grabbed his collar and spoke, ”Come on, spill it.”
Zelal's face paled as he watched three pairs of curious eyes staring at him, so he pleaded, ”Aunt, please let me go. You know how my brother is going to punish me. So, please don't make it hard for me.”
”Come on... just a teeny tiny detail wouldn't hurt anyone.”
Zelal remembered his brother's warning right before they entered the room. So he raised his hands as he shook his head vehemently.
