"Prince Javier~ Where do you think you're going?" Gloria asked in her usual serene tone, her gaze lifting from her plate.
Liana joined in without missing a beat. "Yes, Prince Javier… what's with the rush?"
At the end of the table, Felicia, Mimi, and Delya simply giggled softly and continued eating, clearly enjoying the light teasing.
Javier narrowed his eyes. Irritated.
"Oi. Don't call me that. Just call me like usual."
"Ara~ Our husband is mad, First Wife," Gloria said with a calm smile, glancing at Liana.
"Indeed, Second Wife. How cute," Liana replied, her voice gentle and composed, returning the smile.
Javier let out a quiet sigh and stood up, brushing his fingers along the edge of the table as he pushed his chair back. His plate was already empty.
"Young Master?" Liana paused, her fork hovering midair. "Where are you going?"
The others turned to look at him with mild concern.
"I'm going to meet Athine. Why?"
"Oh… What for?" Liana tilted her head slightly.
