NOT THE USUAL CINDERELLA (Season 2)

STILL VERY CONCERNED

“For tonight, I have prepared a room for Uncle Alexis and also Alaya. What do you think Alvero?” Hearing Enzo's question, Alvero immediately glanced at Vincent who he knew looked still so eager to be with Alaya and Alexis.

After that Alvero turned to glance at Deanda who preferred silence, making Alvero know that Deanda would not hinder the two of them to stay.

“Sorry Prince Enzo, it's not that I don't appreciate Prince Enzo's goodwill. However, tonight I have to return to the training camp, because tomorrow morning I will meet duke Evan to jointly train the troops.” Alexis said as she glanced at Deanda with longing eyes, but unfortunately Deanda seemed not to care much about her presence at the dinner table.

“Alright Uncle Alexis, then, before Uncle returns, how about we spend a little time chatting while enjoying the famous delicious coffee brew from the cafe on the beach Renhill. Do you want to join us Alvero?” Enzo said as he looked towards Alvero.

“Prince Enzo, papa Alexis has an allergy to caffeine.” Hearing the words from Deanda that he said quickly before Alvero answered Enzo's question made both Alexis and Alvero stop eating and look towards Deanda who pretended to still enjoy her dinner, it's not like he just issued a statement about Alexis' condition that is allergic to caffeine.

(Coffee allergy is a type of food allergy that considers the intake of caffeine contained in coffee as a harmful compound. As a result, the body produces antibodies (immuniglobulin E) that trigger every cell of the body to fight back and cause inflammation. Symptoms of coffee allergy can appear immediately or for hours after a person consumes this substance. In general, complaints that arise can be skin rashes, itching, hives, swelling, anxiety disorders, chest pain, cold sweat, fatigue, headaches, heart palpitations, and muscle pain).

Deanda, my beautiful and kind little daughter, even you remember my coffee allergy. It turns out you still remember such a small thing well, even though we have been separated for so long. Can you hope you can forgive me soon? After watching you for so long in silence, it feels like papa really wants to hug you son.

Alexis said inwardly with a happy-looking face realizing that Deanda had not even forgotten things about her.

Ah, sweety, it turns out that in your heart the figure of papa Alexis is really meaningful and so important, even though you are still trying to avoid communication with him. And you still remember very well about Papa Alexis in your mind and heart. I'm happy because in the future you will be able to re-carve good memories with papa Alexis, again get the affection of papa who for years you always missed his presence.

Alvero said in her heart as she returned to enjoying her dinner, not wanting to make Deanda feel embarrassed or uncomfortable because her eyes that had just looked at her were shocked as soon as Deanda revealed about her papa's allergy to caffeine.

"Eh, sorry Uncle Alexis, I didn't know Uncle was allergic to kefein." Enzo said with a smile.

Alexis shook her head at Enzo's apology.

"No problem Prince Enzo. Moreover, it seems like I have to return to the camp immediately to meet Red. There's something we're going to talk about on how to get evidence of Eliana's mother's crimes. We will begin a list of past events that have happened and possible witnesses that we can still find. It is precisely I who should apologize for not being able to accompany Prince Enzo tonight." Alexis immediately gave an excuse so that Enzo did not need to feel guilty.

It turns out that the attitude of the father of the child is almost similar, so appreciative of others and always try to be able to maintain the feelings of others.

Alexis' words made Alvero say inwardly and smile again, remembering how Alexis' attitude reminded him of his wife Deanda.

"Prince Enzo's. I'll remember that. Thank you for the invitation of Prince Enzo. I'm really flattered." Alexis's answer made Yagn at the table smile.

For a while later they refocused on their dinner, deselingi with some small talk, making the atmosphere at the dinner table warmer, although Deanda still looks awkward and does not want to be too much involved in the chat.

"Well, there's something I want to announce tonight." Alvero said after ending the dinner and cleaned her lips with a washcloth.

Upon hearing Alvero's words, all the eyes of the people present at the dinner table were immediately focused on Alvero, including Deanda, as she herself did not know what her husband would announce tonight, she said, because Alvero didn't say anything to him when he was in the room.

"Mmmmm, there's some happy news I want to convey to the ones here. Soon I'll be a father...." Hearing Alvero's announcement with a smile on his face that seemed so happy, everyone present at the dinner table opened their eyes in shock.

"Haist... Congratulations to you, Alvero!" Enzo, who was sitting next to Vincent, got up from his seat, hugged Alvero's body, and punched Alvero in his arms as soon as he let go of his arms.

"Congratulations...." Everyone congratulated Alvero and Deanda.

Alexis looked at Deanda's face with a look so happy and so eager to hug her daughter, but she held herself back knowing that Deanda might not have fully accepted her back. It still takes time for Deanda to completely forget and forgive all her mistakes.

Realizing that in a moment even he would become a grandfather made Alexis almost unable to hold back the tears she wanted to show her teeth, dripping on her cheeks.

Vincent and Alaya are shocked, seconds later they put a happy smile on their faces after learning about Deanda's pregnancy.

"But, to all who are present at this table and have heard this happy news. We all know how cruel and cunning Eliana's nature is. So I really hope, for a while, the news of the pregnancy fine is not spread out. If that happens, I'm afraid our baby will be the target of Eliana's anger. Due to the presence of our baby, it automatically strengthened my position as the Gracetian king." Alvero said as his eyes rolled around staring one by one at the faces of all those present there.

"I agree with your opinion, son. We can no longer give Eliana the chance to destroy our family. Better for a while, the news of Deanda's pregnancy is kept secret first." Vincent immediately responded to Alvero's words in a slightly furious tone, recalling Alexis' story of what Eliana had done to his wife and child.
