Chapter 72 - Unexpected Dinner Guests

Lacey's PONV

feel really nervous and I don't know why

Tonight I'm hosting a dinner party and I've invited my brother Justin, his wife Sabrina and their kids to come and dine with us but oddly

enough, that's not why I'm so nervous

I'm nervous because my husband called me this afternoon and told me that he's got a surprise for me and he requested that I set five extra

spaces at the table which can only mean his surprise for me is a person or five people but who are they?

"You look beautiful, mummy”

“Do, princess?"

“"Mmm-hmm, you look just like Princess Catherine”

“Aww, thank you, my love"

I cup my baby girl's face and kiss her cheek

"Is daddy coming home soon, mum? I miss him"

"He should be home soon, baby"

Isay while looking at the clock on my wall

He's actually running late today which is odd considering he told me he was leaving work early today

I wonder where he is?

“Mummy, can we go downstairs and wait for daddy? Poppy and I made cupcakes earlier and I want to make sure the boys haven't robbed

any before I can show them to daddy"

“Of course honey just wait a second and then we can go"

Ispray some perfume on myself and give myself one last look in the mirror to make sure I look perfect

I don't know who is coming for dinner tonight but I wanna make sure I

look perfect and presentable for my man and his guests

"Ok, I'm ready, let's go”

Teddy and I leave my bedroom and we head downstairs to check on the dining area and also on the food

“Poppy, how are the cupcakes? the boys haven't stolen any, have they?"

"Do you really have little faith in me, Miss Teddy?"

Poppy asked my daughter while smiling and I couldn't help but chuckle at the pair

My kids love our staff and they treat them like members of our family which as a mother makes me very proud because I always thought

when we moved here that they'd turn into spoiled rich brats who would treat the help like they're below them

Tknow there's still time because we haven't been here that long but I doubt their opinions or attitudes will change because I raised my

babies to be better than that and for as long as I'm alive they'll continue to show respect and be the good-hearted individuals they are and

will continue to be long after I'm dead

"I have faith in you, Poppy and I trust you, 1 just don't have faith in my brothers, they've both got a really bad sweet tooth”

“Well, your brothers won't get near them not with me around”

"Good"

Poppy says and I chuckle

“Where are my sons, Poppy?"

“They're in the living area, ma'am"

She says and I roll my eyes

"Poppy, how many times have I told you all to call me Lacey?"

"Sorry, it's a habit in my line of work to call the master and mistress, ma'am and sir"

“Well, I'd much prefer it if you didn't, especially since there's probably not that many years between us"

It's the truth, Poppy looks like she's either my age or a couple of years below me in age and if she's older then I need to know the name of

her anti-wrinkle cream because her skin is flawless and I'm gonna need it with my three babies

“You got it, ma'am, I mean Lacey”

"Good girl, come along Teddy"

1 grab my daughter's hand and lead her towards the living area where my children are watching Young Sheldon

"No, 1 don't, Dayton"

"Yes you do, Lo"

"No, 1do not"

"Yes, you damn well do"

"Dayton James Black, are you cursing?"

Lask angrily earning the attention of my sons

"No, mum"

"Yes, he did mum, he said the D word"

"Damn isn't a curse word, dad even said so"

Did he now?

/1I get him later when his fine ass finally comes home

Chapter 72 - Unexpected Dinner

"What are you two arguing about anyway?" "Oh, I was telling Lo that he reminds me of Sheldon but Lo over here

says he doesn't”

"That's because I don't, do I mum?"

Logan Junior asks me as I look between the young man on screen and

my eldest boy

"I don't know baby, a good-looking young man with sparkling baby blues, an incredibly smart brain and a thirst for knowledge, more

specifically science..no, youre right, I can't see it either”

Isay sarcastically which completely went over my baby girl's head

“Are you sure, mummy? because you just described Logan"

“know, baby, mommy meant...

“Honey, I'm home"

Oh lord

When did my husband turn into such a cliche?

"LACEY"

Logan growled my name and I snapped my head towards the entrance

of the living area

Ithen stormed out of the living room to the chorus of my children saying ooh, dad's in trouble

"Who the hell are you shouting for, Logan David Black? you need to remember I'm your wife and you ain't my daddy"

Isaid while glaring at him but I quickly realised that was the wrong thing to say as I looked at my smirking husband

“What? why are you smirking at me like that? it better not be because of what I've just said because I've already told you, there are only

three humans as of now who call you that and 1 ain't one of them"

Chapter 72 - Unexpected Dinner

"We'll see, honey but for now, that's not why I'm smirking"

“Then why are you smirking?"

Task as I cross my arms over my chest

"I've got a present for you, baby and this present is gonna make you happy in more ways than one"

“Logan, the kids are present”

I growl as I briefly look over at the three little humans who are standing a few feet away from me and watching us with hawk eyes before

looking back at Logan who dare I say looks even more smug

"I wasn't talking about that, my queen but I'l happily take that as payment for what I've done for you"

He says and I narrow my eyes at him as I scrunch my face up in confusion

"What have you done, Logan? you haven't done anything you shouldn't, have you?"

"Oh, don't worry baby, I've just brought some family home to see you, that's all"

What?

Ithought to myself feeling confused as I watched Logan turn around and open the front door

My confusion heightened when Sabrina and Justin walked in dressed to the nines, Emily was also dressed in a stunning pastel pink dress

and baby James who was curled up in his mom's arms is wearing a onesie that looks like a suit

"Really, Logan? all of this for Justin and Sabrina, no offence guys" "None taken, sis"

Justin said with a smirk and 1 also noticed Sabrina was smirking at me

as well

"Ok, did you all fall asleep with coat hangers in your mouths or something?”

"No, why?"

Sabrina asks looking confused and amused

"Because you're all smirking at me and it's creepy, so either stop it or tell me what's going on"

"I already told you what's going on, my love, I've brought some family here to see you"

Knock! knockll, knock, knocklt

A repetitive rap on my door sounds throughout the hallway and I started to feel nervous

He said he's brought my family here to see me but the only family he knows I'm comfortable with right now are currently in Paris, so who

the hell has he invited here?

"Logan"

Isaid in a nervous whisper as my husband turned and opened the door

All of my nerves quickly flew out of the window and a whole bunch of different emotions flowed through my body as tears filled my eyes

when a familiar face stepped into my home

"Oh my...oh my g.god..Kl.Klayton"

"Hello there, la mia piccola principessa” (My little princess)

"There's no..there's no w.wa.Wway..."

I drifted off as my eyes rolled to the back of my head

The last thing I remember before everything turned black was someone holding me in their arms as several people either shouted Lacey
