Liam pov:
I walked to the garden where Lenon said Nyx was. I was confused because I thought we were going on a date. I was dressed in this stupid suit. I'm tired of suits, but I wanted to look my best for my husband. Suits are the definition of best...right?
I followed the path to the garden and stopped in my tracks when I saw Nyx standing in front of picnic things with a bouquet of roses in his hand.
I stepped closer. "Wh...what is this?"
"An apology for not being able to see you or take you out and treasure you like you deserve." He inhaled. "But it's also an appreciation for everything you have brought and keeps bringing in my life...like our nine puppies and a dog."
I smiled. "Have you learned their names yet?" I kissed him. "I love you."
"Rocky...Honey...Wink...Socks...Mercury...Tami...Tobi...Perky...Chase and the mother..."
"It's not perky." I shook my head. "Percy...his name is Percy."
"Yes, Percy. I'm glad he can't hear it." He laughed while handing the flowers.
I grabbed the flowers. "I love you." I peppered his face in kisses until he started giggling while simultaneously trying to push me away.
He pulled me to sit down. "I had a big day...mom and Lady Augustus cut me off after the nursing home appointment. They took me to this restaurant and shit went down...I poured soup on my mom." He held a hand over his mouth as if still in shock.
My eyes widened. "That was you?!" I laughed. "She was on Royal News." I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and handed it to him.
"I took a screenshot of it in case it was taken down. They also took pictures of you and Lady Augustus. It's in Avalon Times." I told him in case he wasn't aware. I didn't need someone bringing it up and he was completely clueless.
"She called the reporters herself, she got what she deserved."
"Why?"
"She was using Lady Augustus on her ambitious mission to get their riches. I turned that down and Lady Augustus is aware that I am still not ready to be friends. She agreed to give me time."
I nodded. "You know what's funny?" I asked but didn't wait for a response. "When I saw the news article of you kissing Lady Augustus' cheek, I wasn't mad. I knew it was out of courtesy." I looked at him. "I've grown as well. Holy shit I've never thought I'd get to this level of maturity but I trust you with everything in me."
"So we can all be friends or are you not comfortable with that yet?"
"If you want to be friends with her then go ahead. I trust you and...I guess I can try to get to know her as well...or something."
"Liam." He leaned in and kissed my lips. "You're the best and she is amazing. You will like her."
I smiled, kissing him again. "I want to talk about something."
