Regal : Majestic (Book #1) The Russo Series {Completed}

Chapter 22

"Russo" someone shouts from behind making Richie to turn around, he smiles as he finds Flora walking his way.

"What a surprise" Lucero speaks as he follows behind his wife and goes to shake Richie's hand.

"Yeah, I did not knew you were joining" he states before he says his hello to Flora.

"Is Alana with you?" she questions looking around.

"No, I came alone" Richie replies and the woman nods her head.

"Good choice" with that said she turns around to walk away and Lucero sighs.

"So, I heard you have volunteered to take care of the next shipment" he states and Richie nods as he quietly sips on his drink.

A loud wail makes both men look around and Lucero closes his eyes cursing.

"I said not to bring them" he grumbles and Richie frowns.

"You brought your kids?" he asks in amusement and Lucero shakes his head.

"Not me, but her" he states before making his way towards where the sounds were coming from and Richie follows.

"Make him stop" Lucero orders as he gets in the room to find his wife picking Liam.

"May I?" Richie asks as he walks towards the kid and picks him up rubbing the back of him in a soothing manner.

"See, that's how a father should be" Flora cannot help but comment.

"Is he unwell?" Richie asks Flora who nods her head.

"Yes, that's why I did not wanted to leave him alone back home" she speaks taking Liam in her arms.

"Have you tried using balm on his feet, it helps sleep him well" Richie suggests.

"I will try it" she smiles as Liam calms down.

"I think he is hungry as well" Flora comments as she walks towards the bed before Lucero mutters he will go search for milk and disappear.

"He is not used to being around the boys" Flora informs to Richie as she lays Liam down.

"He will come around" Richie replies not knowing what to say.

"So, what a noble man like you doing in a place like this?" she questions facing him and Richie stares at her in amusement.

*******

"Noble is not the word I would tagged myself as" he smiles politely and she grins.

"Well there are plenty of other words Alana have given you" she teases making the man nod.

"She must have a good reason to give me names"

"It would have been really nice if Alana was with you, there are few names I would like to call my husband" she sighs as she sits on the bed.

"Of course" he nods his head looking around the room before his eyes lands on Flora who stares at him with a serious look.

"What are you doing in here Richie? Does Alana knows what you are even doing? Because trust me she would never let you be in here...

She has already lost her brother to the like of the people around in here" she questions and he just stays quiet.

"I see, you are just like him. Every time I want a reaction out of Luc, all he does is just stare in silence and that irks me the most...

What it is about you men and the silence?" she questions and he just shrugs his shoulder before his replies comes.

"Perhaps, we are good at keeping our thoughts to ourselves"
