Chapter 49 Jealous triplets
Olivia’s POV
“We are outside, Skyle,” I muttered as he swayed side to side, still hugging me.
“Hmm… It doesn't sound like you missed you, that breaks my heart.” He said smiling, as he pulled back.
“I missed you, Skyle. But I’m working presently and everyone's staring at us,” I said.
“And isn't one of your duties welcoming distinguished guests? So what's with this cold welcome? I'm hurt, Liv, darling.” He said teasingly and also loudly. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
The maids all whispered and muttered to each other as they walked past us, returning to their respective duty posts. Sadie only glared at me, giving me the stink eye before also going back to the kitchen.
Just then, my eyes met with the triplets and Helen. They all looked so scary as their gaze fell on Skyle and me.
“Skyle is not good for you Helen. He is a two-timer. A few years ago, he was chasing you around here and now he is hugging Olivia.” Lucien said.
“How the hell did you guys get to know each other, Liv? You didn’t tell me anything about knowing each other.” Lucas said, smiling coldly.
“You assumed I didn't know someone as important as Skyle and you didn’t give me any room to talk to you that day, Prince Lucas,” I said.
Skyle cleared his throat, “Olivia here is my friend and I will also try to clarify something with you, Prince Lucien. I don’t know what Helen might have told you, but I want you to know that I’m not in love with her at all. Plus we are mature already so I don’t see any reason for us to act hostile to each other,” Skyle said.
“And who knows, I might find my mate here in your pack.” He added looking at me.
“What are you trying to say?” Logan shouted.
I was so scared when he yelled. I thought he was calm but he sounded so aggressive now.
“We should all get along, Lucas. We are mature as Skyle said and we shouldn’t talk about our past relationships so that peace can reign.” Helen said, smiling nervously.
I knew instantly that she fabricated the story that Skyle had a crush on her a few years ago based on her reaction. After all, she is a queen of schemes.
“We have a feast prepared for you, Prince Skyle and it was arranged by the triplets to welcome you,” I said with a smile as the situation was so awkward.
The triplets were looking at Skyle like they wanted to strangle him and I couldn’t allow for that to happen. Helen was trying her best to look innocent to Skyle and the triplets. I couldn’t understand the triplets' reaction.
Are they jealous about my relationship with Skyle or what?
“Wow. Did you prepare the food yourself?” Skyle asked me.
“Of course, prince…”
Skyle hushed me with his finger and insisted I call him “Skyle.”
“Remember, we are friends, Liv.” He added.
“How close are you to call her Liv?” Lucas said while glaring at Skyle.
Logan and Lucien went in with Helen without saying another word. I couldn’t understand why they were angry at me.
“Lucas, I told you earlier that Olivia and I were friends. I mean close friends.” Skyle said smiling as he wrapped his arm on my shoulder.
“Don’t we look good together as mates?” He asked Lucas who was now fuming.
“You are crazy, Skyle,” Lucas said as he walked off to his room.
“What was that for, Skyle? You shouldn’t have provoked them,” I said as I shoved his arm away.
“Ouch!” He screamed.
“What’s wrong?” I asked him while checking his arm.
He smiled, “was my acting that good? You are worried about me right?” He said.
“Common, Skyle. I’m now in a tight position as you publicly announced our relationship now.” I said, rolling my eyes at him.
“We did nothing wrong and why should we hide our relationship? We are best of friends and nothing more, my love.” He said.
“I’m starving. I can’t wait to taste the food you cook.” He added as he motioned for me to lead the way.
“And Gwen sent her greetings to you and Josh.” He added.
I smiled at him and led him to the big room well decorated. Chairs and a round big table were placed at the center of the room. It was where we had prepared for him to feast and dine.
The triplets and Helen were already seated waiting for Skyle.
I led him to his seat and I served every one of them. I was the only maid assigned to him and that was ordered by Lucas.
When I finished serving them, I bowed and turned to leave.
“You should join us, Liv,” Skyle said.
“And why would she be here? She has done her job which is to serve us. We don’t need her anymore.” Lucas said.
“Too bad you think this way. Is this how you treat your maids?” Skyle asked.
“Don’t you dare lecture me!” Lucas glowered.
“You guys should stop picking on each other. If Skyle wanted Olivia to join us then let her join us, Lucas.” Helen said.
Lucien and Logan only stared blankly at their food. I didn’t know what was running through their mind. I could only hope that Skyle wouldn’t land me in any trouble with them.
“Thanks, Helen,” Skyle said.
Helen smiled nervously as Lucas glared at her.
“Come and sit with me,” Skyle said, pointing to the empty seat beside him.
I knew it was better to sit with him then I quickly ran to sit down beside him.
We all started to eat with the triplets and Helen staring at me. Skyle would cut some portions of his steak and give it to me. He even commented on how delicious my food was which doesn’t go well
with the triplets.
“Stop, Skyle,” I whispered to him.
He refused to listen and when I looked up at triplets, they had stopped eating.
I felt like I had wronged them and then I choked on my food. I coughed out.
Logan handed me a glass of water as well as Skyle.
