Chapter 67: NATALIA

"Help my parents to the table and tell them we'll be there shortly." I turned to him after he sent the servant off on that little errand.

"Something wrong?" I made sure my head was void of all thought as he looked down at me as if he had something to say.

In the end he just shook his head and took my hand in his "No, everything's fine let's go." Junior was lying dormant or asleep for once and not spying. I've found lately that he does that a lot. When his dad is around, except for those times the two of them are having one of their gab fests, he stays very quiet. But once his dad is gone he's all ears and eyes, almost as if they're taking turns watching over me.

I shrugged it off for later as we walked into the dining room that could seat a hundred easy and saw the dignified couple who got to their feet as we walked in. His mom got tears in her eyes as soon as she saw me and I'm sure broke protocol when she came from around the table, arms outstretched and hugged me.
