Episode-419    Evelyn’s  POV:   I stood in front of bathroom mirror, I can’t understand why is he here. I want to keep him away from my dad and brothers but he just walked a family event. God! Is Logan mentally retarded or what? stupid!!!!  I heard knock on the door, I walked to open it in annoyance. It’s Mom, I rolled my eyes. She said, “Time for dinner… everyone is waiting.”   She tried to walk out but I asked, “Why you called him?”   Mom turned to me and said, “I can invite whoever I want in my house… or palace” she is being like this, like she don’t know How Dad is… This annoys me more. I said back, “He is my ex!!... just think for one moment then hear yourself….”  She looks at me silent and then said, “Ex?...... but he is a good man…. it’s enough for me to invite him…” I almost screamed, “Mom!!!!” She raised her eye brow, I sighed frustrated, I whispered, “Stop coming in my business….” Mom turned to the door as she, “I want to see you at dinner table… or you know how your dad behaves when I or you are around…..” I realize what she meant… that…. Dad will not do anything to Logan.. till I am around. shit!! shit!! mom always does this…. blackmailing!! so what she is the Queen!!!!!!   Few minutes later,    I walked to table, putting myself in control. I noticed everyone was seated. I looked around to see everyone sitting on their places, Owen and Logan too.     I also realized Logan was sitting right next to my usual seat… why?... I narrowed my eyes at Mom… she can’t be doing this!!   I heard Dad, “Cherry.. you are late…” I don’t want to sit beside Logan. It will be awkward.   I heard Alexis, “Cherry… if you want you can sit here…” He tried to get up emptying his seat, but Serene grabbed his hand as she said, “Alex you promised to be my side today… because I am feel unwell…”she smiled. Alexis said confused, “W-when…”  I know… these Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-laws plan. To prove my suspicion, Celeste said, “Cherry sit there… it’s your seat right?” she gave me a million door smile. Yea… yea… you all are corrupted. Dad was trying to control anger, he is uncomfortable… yea… red flag…    I decided to sit there, Logan pulled the chair for me. I sat there and decided to eat my food. I tried to ignore Logan as possible because results may not be good, if I over-reacted in front of Dad.  My fork stopped when Logan placed some meat on my plate, my eyes went to him. He smiled and looked down.   Logan’s POV:   Her face was adorable that made me smile. I did noticed the ice cold glare from her father… but I am not here for him. She looked down at her food, biting her lips… she tried to get up, but before she could do so I pressed my hand on her knee under the table. She cannot walk out anymore, I don’t allow that. I am sure nobody noticed it. She faced me glaring, I smiled and whispered to her, “Everyone is looking…. Babe…”  She pushed my hand off her leg and then I felt a strong kick. I played strong and kept my smile. The royal family was trying to have a normal conversation… normal couple relationship.  I heard Mrs. Celeste, “It feels nice when everyone is together for Zander….” she turns to me and said, “I hope you are enjoying the dinner…” she smiled. I nod smiling and said, “Yes I am…. and I.. I don’t know if it’s good timing or what.. but I got something for the Little Prince….” I pulled the small box from my pocket and passed it to Mrs. Celeste, Prince Ernest didn’t looked pleased. Mrs. Celeste said amused, “Oh… thanks.. but really don’t have to…”  I heard the King, “Yea.. You don’t have to… We can take care our grandchild…” queen glared at him, while Evelyn turned her face away focusing on the food, like she is deaf. I smirked at him and said, “right… Prince Zander is lucky to have Grandparents… but Uncle Logan need to gift him right?”   I saw Evelyn chocking, Queen was hiding her smile while King looks furious. I passed Evelyn some water, but she picked hers as she glared at me in anger.    I turned to Mrs. Celeste, she said cutting the awkward situation, “thanks for this broach…. it’s pretty…” I smiled, I said, “these match the shoes I sent for the baby shower….”   Mrs. Celeste looked confused, she asked, “Shoes?”   I turned to Evelyn and asked, “You didn’t gave them… the shoes I sent for the baby?” I asked her raising my eye brow. Evelyn looked out of words, she said, “ammm.. amm… Shoes…”   she then said in her usual attitude, “I forgot… I will send them later….”  I wanted to laugh, she looked that cute trying to hide things. But I noticed the man sitting in front of me, the way he was looking at Evelyn bothered me. I saw his smile as he looked down at his plate. He bothered me… who is he….     I realized Evelyn got up and walked out, leaving everyone speechless. I got up saying, “Excuse me….” I ignored the glares at me, I can only think to follow her.   I ran behind her as she had already covered some distance. I realized she stopped, I looked around and no one was there, we were away from the main area of the palace.  I still took my steps close to her, she was hugging herself as her gaze was outside, she was facing her back to me.   I simply said, “Evelyn…. we sho-”  she didn’t let me finish, she turns to me, her face is filled with frustration. She started hitting me with her hands, like she didn’t wanted to hurt me really, but still show her anger.    I am confused myself, I tried to grab her wrist but she grabbed my shirt instead, she pulled me to herself as she almost screamed, “When will you stop!!!!”  stop what?... loving her?... how dare she asks me this?  Some kind of anger was filling me, I heard her, “When will you stop putting yourself in danger!!! My Dad is here… behaving like that in front of Dad!!!... why you do this to yourself!!!”
