Finding Rhegitt Strife

Forty Four

Rhegitt's POV

I am smiling ear to ear right now. Jai agreed to become my girlfriend again.
I could not contain my happiness, it's oozing because I could feel I'm radiating it too much.

"Masyadong malaki ang ngiti mo." I heard Jai whispered beside me.

We were currently eating at the reception.

"Of course. You're my girlfriend now, who wouldn't be happy about that?"

"I don't know? Your grandfather maybe?"

I chuckled at what she said.

"What? Nonsense."

"Well, he's been eyeing me like he's about to rip off my throat."

"Jai, relax. I'm here. No one could lay a hand on you. As long as I'm alive." I reassured her.

"Is this how the Lady Rhegitt acts when in love?" I glanced at Lord Vlad, he's teasing me.

"You should've seen her back when she's developing her feelings for Jai." Akira added, wiggling her eyebrows.

I just shook my head.

"Really now?" Lady Loretta looked at me.

"Enough about me guys. Why don't you get yourselves lovers too?"

"Oh don't mind me Lady Rhegitt. I've got a wife already." We all looked surprised at Lord Archie.

"Well why didn't you invite her here?!" Loretta teasingly throw him the table napkin. The Lord just chuckled and caught it.

"She's pregnant Lady Loretta. We'll be having our first born soon."

"Congratulations, then." Lord Charlie said and we all said congrats to him and his wife.

"Next time I'll visit your house. Let's meet his wife, shall we?" Lady Loretta said to us and we all agreed.

"Of course." Lord Archie responds.

"Speaking of first born, you're about to announce something related no?" I glanced at Akira and nodded.

"Right. I'll be back." They all turned to me, confused about what Akira meant.

I turned to Jai and kissed her cheeks before standing up.

"Get a room." Lady Loretta teasingly said, making my girlfriend blushed.

Robie and Kim giggled at that.

"Make out with Akira then." I told her before leaving the table. I even heard Akira cursed at me in Tagalog, making me smile.

When I reached the stage, I took the mic from its stand.

"Everyone, if you please spare me a few minutes of your attention." I said and everyone stops what they are doing and looked at me.

"I have an announcement to make."

I stole a glance to my family's table. Mom had a knowing smile but Gramps and Dad had questioning looks. Then I glanced at Raja, and nodded at her. She gets what I'm about to say.

"Well, Rad and Cassey they'll be going to make a lot of baby Strifes in the future." I joked for a start. Everyone laughed at that, making me smile.

"I'll be going to introduce my daughter first." Everyone gasped at that. Surprised reactions and murmurs erupted in the area.

I motioned Raja to come up and she obliged.

"Everyone, meet Lady Raja Strife." I proudly said. There was a moment of silence, making Raja bowed her head. I grasped her shoulder, assuring her that it's okay. I really don't care if everyone won't accept her as my daughter, she's mine and no one could make me change my mind about it.
