The Faceless Billionaire Celebrity Wife-Chapter 273: Daddy’s Food.

For her own peace of mind, Shikera decided to only remember that he knelt for her, and not that she was the second person he was kneeling for.

"Who told you you paid a small price?" she asked, catching hold of his hand before he could walk away. "I’m just...I doubt Mignon told you because you knelt and nothing else. Did you tell her anything else?"

"Nothing that you need to know of," Ethan replied. He removed her hand from his. "You didn’t eat breakfast. I’ll be in the kitchen."

"Before you go," Shikera stopped him with a surprised stare, "Don’t you have any questions to ask me? I already know how you found me but you don’t know why I came here. And it also looked like you have a lot of questions."

"That can wait until after you eat. I’m not sure if you’ll be able to answer all of my questions while in an hungry state," Ethan replied.

Shikera had to let him go, her brows furrowed in confusion as she watched his retreating back. He had been so eager to talk with her the previous night but now, he was stalling instead.

She shook her head to clear the disturbing thoughts, dwelling instead on the thought that she would be eating what Ethan cooked soon. She threw a careful glance in the direction of the kitchen and after making sure Ethan could not see her, she looked down at her belly and whispered,

"Baby, we’re gonna eat daddy’s food today. You excited?"

A bright smile spread across her face as she talked.

"I think Ethan did do something to them. They have been kinda quiet since he returned," Raymond pointed out, sighing in relief. He added, "So I think we can all return to living our normal lives just until they act up again."

He looked at the faces of his audience, stopping at a particular one which didn’t seem to be paying attention to him.

Cyprian.

The rest of them, the overenthusiastic Raine who was gushing over her daughter and granddaughter. Chris, who though was as grumpy and cold as ever, still gave a smile when his eyes met Mignon’s, Ruthlyn and Enoch who were sitting as far apart to each other as they could. God knows what’s the problem this time around.

And finally, Elizabeth and Natalia or rather, Natasha, who were sitting right beside each other. The mother and daughter were looking more beautiful than ever.

"What if they decide to act when we are are unaware and have completely been distracted with work?" Ruthlyn spoke up.

"That’s why we all will have bodyguards assigned to us. It will be too much to say we are safe as long as the bodyguards are with us but at least, our minds can be put to rest," Raymond replied. "If we continue to neglect work and stay at home, then the Jordans wishes are manifesting in another way. The corporations will suffer for it."

There was collective nods from everyone in the room, before Chris talked.

"Esther will stay home since we can’t rule out the possibilities of her school being attacked; Raine and Mignon will also stay home, I guess, so we can arrange for the elite team guarding the mansion to take over them. That will be leaving Elizabeth and you, Natalia," Chris paused for a while before proceeding, "You two can either decide to stay here or go back home. If you are here, then the DeLoachs elite team can assign guards to you too but if you’ll be returning, I’m sure the Andersons team are very prepared to receive you," he concluded.

Sharing knowing glances, Elizabeth and her mother spoke at the same time.

"We will stay."

Elizabeth added, "If I leave now, I will get bored staying at home all by myself but if I’m here, there’s Mignon to keep me company. Ethan and Enoch are also here."

An awkward silence followed her words before it was broken by Mignon.

"Ethan isn’t home for now, as you already know while I’ll be very busy trying to get myself together and making up for the lost time with Esther, so I’m sorry I won’t be able to keep you company. I’m sure Enoch will have time though."

Enoch who had been drawn into the conversation by Mignon, widened his eyes in surprise. It seemed like the mischievous Mignon who was nothing like her name inferred, was really back. Shooting her a glare, he turned to Elizabeth and beamed, "I’m so sorry but I also won’t have time to accompany you. I will be working all through and after work, I have to go on a date with Ruth. We’ve been so busy these past few days that we didn’t get to spend enough time with each other."

"That’s alright," Elizabeth replied, smiling politely. "It’s still better staying in a house full of humans than staying with only my mom and the servants."

When it dawned on them what her words meant, even Chris could not stop himself from frowning in displeasure. However, he soon put up a nonchalant front and said, "It’s alright if you still want to stay here." He looked at Ruthlyn and Enoch, "I think it would be good if you two handle DL Corporation, while Raymond handles Anderson Corp. I hope your Boss comes back soon and take over his work."

Having nothing else to say, he rose from his seat and walked away from the gathering. He had no idea where Ethan went and he was sure none of his assistants would know either. The boy was damn independent!

But Chris had no one but himself to blame but himself for everything. At least, he could be grateful that Ethan was treating his family as family, and was a lot different to when he just came back from the den of the Jordans. When even the slightest thing or memory could annoy him.

He could still remember how Ethan was snappy for the first few days of his arrival, all because he hated himself for kneeling on behalf of one girl whom he couldn’t even tell how she looked.
