Chapter 39
Chapter 39
Morning came and Rachel had to snatch Everly from Lennoxs' bedroom, she already warned her but Everly just won't listen. Spending most of her time with the crown prince was something more like jumping off the cliff.
Whether it ends with him getting annoyed by her then send the little Love to her early grave, or him liking Everly and influencing her to become a crazy killing-obsessed psycho like he is.
Both possibilities were worst than each other, so it's just better to keep a distance between the two kids.
After scolding, feeding and dressing Everly, Rachel finally let her go to play somewhere, however, she just ended up running to Jennings's study doing her best to 'help' him, or rather it's her delusion.
while leaving Everly distracted with a pile of old papers, Jennings went through all of the reports and the documents that were necessary for today, he has long since lost the sense of time until someone lightly knocked the door.
without waiting for him to answer, Annasophy opened the looked optimistic and energetic, she tilted her torso slightly to the said saying: "father! the Duke and his family are about to arrive any time soon, shouldn't you stop with the work now?".
Jennings blinked twice then shifted his gaze to the veranda:" it really is late, I did not feel the time passing".
as he talked, Annasophy walked to the busy Everly and grabbed her like a big puppy, she said beaming: "then until you get ready, I will take this little one with me".
startled, Jennings blurted:" huh? take her where? no, not allowed, I told you not to bully her".
Annasophy cheerfully said:" I am not bullying her, it's totally the opposite, I like her, she is cute. so we will go first, see you".
Everly did not notice herself being carried away, as she wholly focused on a scribbled piece of paper. By the time Everly became aware of her surroundings, she found herself in the garden.
Even though it was still early for the sunset, the sky was already dyed in yellow, at the side and under the willow shade a long tea table was placed.

Carefully, putting Everly down, Annasophy crouched to be at the same height as Everly, she said softly:" you know Eve, today a family we are friends with will be visiting. All of them are kind people so you don't need to be shy and talk to them openly, okay?".
Nodding, Everly said in a low voice: "okay, Everly will talk to the nice people ".
Not being able to stand her cuteness, Annasophy grabbed Everlys' cheeks and showering her with kisses.
" look at you acting all adorable!!!".
She continued to invade Everlys' personal space until a maid came to inform her of the arrival of the Welfmore.
" they are here?!" Annasophy exclaimed.
The maid was yet to answer when a womans' voice called for her:" Anna!!!!!".
Hearing the familiar voice, Annasophy instantly jumped on her feet and quickly walked to the woman, also calling:" Cathy!!!".
The two ladies hugged each other like some long-distance couples finally meeting, Catherine grabbed Annasophys' hands, saying with teary eyes: "it's been so long!! I missed you".
Annasophy also tightened her grip on the other's hand, saying: "I missed you too, I have been longing to see you again".
A young man's voice suddenly came from behind, irritated he said: "for God's sake!!! She visited us four days ago, why acting like this all the time!".
Two men stood behind the cringe women, both of them had silky silver hair, form one glance anyone can tell that they were brothers, the other man said with crossed arms:" hey forget it, women are always emotionally unstable ".
Catherine smacked both of them saying:" shut it, you two, or I will tell Fletcher that you are bothering the Princess ".
However, Annasophy was in a great mood at that time, such a thing did not bother her at all, instead, she energetically said:" before anything, I got something to show you guys".
She turned and grabbed Everly, who was sneaking behind her to hid and lifted her up high like a monk presenting the child of heavens to his people.
And just like a child of heavens, Everly shone and sparkled not divinely but with cuteness.
Everyone gasped at the same time, staring at her astonished, after a good while, one of the young men extended his hand and squeezed Everlys' cheek, saying unbelieving: "is this real? How come someone like this ever to exist".
Seeing their reaction, Annasophy grinned, she hugged the young girl as if she was a stuffed animal, saying excitedly:" adorable, isn't she? My little baby girl".
Still shocked, Catherine opened her hands slightly saying:" may I hold her?".
Before Annasophy could say anything, Everly shook her head quickly and tightly gripped at Annasophy's dress refusing to let go.
Catherine's legs could no more stand, she fell on her knees causing her violette dress to spread around her like a blooming flower, she was rejected, but this was the loveliest rejection she had ever seen.
She was way too loveable!!!
While Catherine was trying to sort out her heartbeats and hid her blushing face, the two young men started torturing Everly, almost crying from her cuteness level.
" Franklin, Erwin, are you two annoying the Princess again?" Suddenly a mans' voice came from their side, it was deep and pleasant to hear.
Hearing that familiar voice, Franklin turned to face his brother, saying with eyes filled with satisfaction:" brother, can we take her home with us?".
Fletcher raised a brow saying:" take who?! And why is Catherine sitting on the ground?".
Instead of them, Jennings who came with Fletcher answered:" no you can't young man, she is not someone I can give on".
Now that Jennings was there, Annasophy put Everly down and pouted:" you are way too stingy father, even I not allowed to take Eve anywhere ".
Once she was on her feet, Everly walked directly to Jennings, grabbing on his tight and staring at the unknown silver-haired handsome man. Jennings patted her head as he said smiling gently:" you were about to suffocate her just now, look at how messed up she became, and I am supposed to entrust her to you?".
