The Royal Series 02: The Royal Wooing

Epilogue

LAURICE

"This one's better so let them know. Ask them when they're free to meet up and talk about this project," I told Kate as I slid the folder towards her then went back to reading the file in front of me as I grabbed the other one.

According to the file that Kate made, which I'm currently looking at, this should be a project proposal that was being sent to the parliament to ask for the royal family's support. The name of the project head was really familiar so I asked Kate who it was.

And it turned out to be one of the politicians who's the gossip of the elite circles about his alleged illegal business. I wanted to immediately turn it down but I can't just do that without reading everything first. So I did.

It sounded too good to be true so I had to call Kuya to help me with it. I sent Kate to tell Kuya na I needed help and I was actually expecting her to come back when I could go to Kuya pero Kuya's the one who went to me instead. He's carrying their third child and youngest, Evelyn.

"Where's your boys?" I asked.

"Why are you here?" He asked instead of answering.

"You do know that this is still my house too..." I trailed and looked at Kuya swaying Evelyn.

"You're in your house clothes. Dito ka natulog kagabi?" He asked.

"Oh that's what you mean," I said. Napatingin naman ako sa damit ko and yes it's my usual house clothes. Shirt and pants. "Your sons fetched me from our house. Do you even know Chris is plotting things with your sons?" I asked.

I woke up to Kyle and Keagan in our room and they just let me brush my teeth and wash my face before dragging me out of the house. They even already had take out breakfast for me in their car.

Remembering how those kids have their attendants wrapped around their fingers, I told Kuya that. But he's too lovestruck with his daughter. Oh my God. Tama nga si Ate Ellis. Kuya now seems different with a daughter. I'm getting the vibe na mas respectable na s'ya.

And I can't believe it's been that long. Ang laki na ni Kyle and Keagan ha. And to think that my niece would soon be crawling or walking.

"Are you staying the night here?" Kuya asked me.

"No, may gagawin ako sa bahay," I told Kuya.

We proceeded to discuss what I asked him for and in the middle of it, Evelyn fell asleep so we paused. Kuya left my office to lay Evelyn down in her crib while I kept on working. And like I've done for the past few years, I would either work in our company, in my office at Royal Hands' headquarters in Great Crystal, in the palace, or at home when I'm not traveling to represent my country.

In the year that Chris began attending his masters in law, he began managing the legal department of Royal Hands all over the continent. He was free to do so as his contract with the International Court ended before he started his masters. We've also opened a Royal Hands branch in his home country, Great Emerald. Then he would attend his classes and now he's in his final year, he's doing his own research because that's his requirement to graduate and get his PhD.

I'm not really sure what the topic is but he's definitely having a hard time so I'm doing what I can to support him. It's actually kind of funny because whenever we work together at home in our office, he would sometimes suddenly stand up and wait beside me until I notice him. Then he would ask for a hug.

"Hey there, beautiful."

"Did you do something?" I jokingly asked Chris as he hugged me from behind and he kissed my cheek.

"What? No." He said. "I still don't know how exactly you guessed my arrival with the traffic," he said.

May prepared meal kasi sa table. Actually, I always try to cook him something even if I'm not around the time he comes home from his flights for Royal Duties. I don't know if he's aware that I already noticed that he gives me massages and would order a few of my favorites if not make it himself if ako naman yung kauuwi lang.
