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 dy .


    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 , ncing 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 nced 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 te , 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 timeing 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 , Raymondughed , Meredithughed 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 ve and cleaning up after my familys meal .
