My Evil Boy Toy

Chapter 214 – Caden And Alira

"Are you insane?" I exclaimed. "They\'re six years old, Kyle. Even Luke and Alora would not allow this."

Kyle was looking serious with his previous statement. Is he seriously suggesting Caden and Alira get engaged at the age of six?

Then the rest of our friends came in, overhearing what we had discussed. Alora, looking so cold and with no expression, walked towards the couch and sat beside Jayden. Emily sat in Kyle\'s lap while he hugged her by the waist, rubbing his palm to his wife\'s belly.

Percy and Sophie stood by the window with huge smiles on their faces. Luke walked closer to Caden and Alira, holding each other\'s hands. He crouched down, staring at the kids.

I was surprised when Caden pulled Alira as if her father would take her away from him. Luke chuckled at Caden\'s gesture.

"Are you serious about my daughter?\' Luke asked in a serious tone.

Caden only nodded and didn\'t say a word. He was directly staring at Luke\'s eyes. His silver eyes were glistening like crystals, and everyone could see that the little guy was not playing around.

Luke turned his gaze to Alira and asked. "How about you, love? Do you like Caden that much?"

Alira also nodded. Everyone in the room became silent. Are they going to agree with Kyle\'s suggestion? I decided to break the silence before they went crazy and approved the idea.

"No! No! No! You\'re all crazy! Are you seriously going to allow them to get engaged? Alora, say something." I exclaimed, asking Alora\'s help.

"What? If my daughter wants your son, should I go against her decision? Love has no age, Peggy. From what I see, they are serious with each other." Alora answered.

I was shocked by what she said. I looked at Jayden to see his reaction. He stared at me but wasn\'t saying anything, confirming that he also agreed with it.

"Oh my god! I can\'t believe this! They\'re six years old! What if they found someone when they got older? What if one of them changed their mind?" I was starting to get annoyed with this conversation.

"Margaret, calm down." Kyle ordered.

I can\'t believe he was using his King\'s authority over this. He may be the King, but we are talking about my son.

"No. We already have a lot of issues that need to be settled. Mom was still with Benjamin. We cannot afford to have a party while mom is with that guy." I firmly answered while glaring at Kyle.

Emily stood up so Kyle could get to me. I gulped when I saw his expression become serious.

"We are not doing this to forget about mom. But don\'t you think this is all we need? Flousia had been in the news for the past weeks. Did you ever watch the news? Did you hear what they\'ve been saying about the royal family? They saw how weak we were because of what Benjamin did. Margaret, the people of Flousia needed something. A reassurance that the royal family was still as strong as ever. An engagement between a prince of Flousia and the only daughter of the Wilson\'s would help us reclaim our pride." Kyle said.

Then he looked at Luke and continued.

"I know it sounded like I was going to use your daughter for the sake of Flousia. I won\'t force Alira or you, Luke. If you would disagree with it,  I would gladly accept it. I just want to be honest with you."

Luke stood up and tapped Kyle\'s shoulder.

"I\'m glad you told me. But I\'m not the one who will decide on that either. Like what Alora said, if Alira agrees with it, I\'m fine with that." Luke answered.

Kyle had a point. The Wilson\'s were the wealthiest clan worldwide. If Caden were engaged to Alira, it would benefit us more than the Wilson\'s. But, still, I was not too fond of the idea of gaining power by an arranged marriage.

"Peggy, that\'s fine. Nobody in this room thinks what you are thinking. You\'re just overreacting. Let\'s ask the kids. If one of them disagrees, we don\'t need to do it." Alora said.

I sighed then looked at Caden. I walked back to him and crouched down in front of him.

"Honey, I want you to know that I like Alira so much. But you\'re still young. Do you really want her to be your wife in the future? What if you changed your mind?" I asked in a gentle voice.

"I promised Alira. We have a promise to keep with each other." He answered.

I frowned. "What promise?"

"I can\'t tell you. It\'s just between Alira and me." He said while shaking his head.

I looked at Alira, who was standing behind Caden. She was also looking back at me. She looked like her mother, with her silver eyes and silver hair. But unlike her mother, her eyes were full of expressions. It sparkles like diamonds.

I stood up and gave up. I walked towards Jayden and sat on his lap. I felt his hands wrapping around my waist while he kissed me on my neck.

"They\'re so cute." Emily commented with a grin.

I pouted, and I heard Jayden chuckle. Kyle approached the kids and asked them.

"So, Caden and Alira, what do you think of getting engaged? Do you know what it means?"

Caden and Alira glanced at each other. I smiled when I saw them blush. They suddenly felt nervous and embarrassed. Indeed, they\'re so cute together.

The kids nodded before Kyle continued.

"Once you are engaged, there\'s no turning back. You will be tied to each other forever. You have the right to break the engagement, though." Kyle laughed.

I glared at him when he said that, but he ignored me.

"So, what\'s your answer? Caden?" Kyle asked, looking at my son.

I felt so nervous waiting for Caden\'s answer. I was still hoping that the kids would disagree with it.

"Yes. I want Alira to be my wife and queen in the future. I would never change my mind." Caden answered in a determined voice.

I bit my lips and sighed when he answered.. Then all our eyes turned to Alira, waiting for her answer.
