Chapter 0162 Raymond entered the room shortly after and whispered something to one of the maids .
She nodded and went with a few others towards the kitchen .
Sorry for the delay .
Shes going to start bringing out our meal now , Raymond said as he took his seat at the head of the table .
1 frowned .
leing that ther But not everyone is here yet , I said , glancing around the table and wasnt an empty chair left ..
Oh , were you expecting someone else , Alpha ? Raymond asked with a frown .
I wasnt aware .
Your Beta didnt inform me … I glanced at Michele Montague who looked a bit sheepish .
I got the feeling that she knew who I was talking about .
She bit her bottom lip and stared down at her plate , refusing to meet my eyes .
I guess not , I murmured , still confused , keeping it quiet for right now .
Soon , the maids were returning with our food , and they served us both the meal and wine .
Daddy , the maids have been working so hard .
I think we should give them the rest of the evening off , Kelsey said as she nibbled on her steak And who will clean up after dinner ? Raymond asked raising his brows .
Ill take care of it , she said , shrugging .
Its honestly no problem .
Its the least I can do .
Raymond thought it over carefully before relenting and nodding .
Okay , he said , taking a big bite of his food .
If you dont mind .
She grinned as she continued to eat her food .
We spoke casually for most of the meal ; I couldnt help but worry about Judy though .
She was somewhere in this manor … I could smell her as if she was right next to me .
Her mother kept avoiding my gaze and continued to eat without contributing to the conversation .
Kelsey continued to brush against me and a few times , I felt her foot on my leg .
I had to keep shoving it off and positioning myself away from her .
Raymond spoke mostly about the advantages of his pack and how excited he was that his son was going to be the Alpha .
It was a long time coming and nobody deserved it more than Ethan .
He expressed how Irene fit right into the family .
Meredith chimed in at that point and said something about Irene , inviting them to the country club for brunch at some point next week .
After the meal concluded , Raymond stood to his feet .
How about we take this conversation into the parlor , and we can have some coffee and dessert ? He suggested .
We walked out of the dining hall and towards the parlor .
Kesley stayed behind to clean .
As we waited in the parlor for our coffee and dessert , we continued the conversation .
My stomach was twisting and for 1/2 Chapter 0162 some reason my wolf was agitated .
He wanted to return to the kitchen .
I looked in the direction of the door and my brows furrowed .
Is everything okay , Alpha ? Meredith asked .
Kelsey has been awhile , I pointed out .
Oh , Im sure shes fine .
There were a lot of dishes , Meredith said , sipping on her coffee .
Still , Im going to check on her , I said , standing to my feet .
Such a noble Lycan he is , Raymond laughed , Meredith laughed as well but it was more forced and awkward .
I ignored them both and made my way back toward the dining hall .
But as I reached the door , I heard Kesleys voice sneering , which made me freeze .
You are nothing but a useless bitch ! Only good for being a slave and cleaning up after my familys meal .
How does it feel to be a nobody ?
