Chapter 544: Family Dinner_Part 1

Many of the paintings were on display, mostly of his wife, while the private ones were kept where only he could see them. The ones capturing happy moments he had shared with her and their children were there for everyone to admire.

The largest of all the portraits depicted the moment he had hugged them in his arms, bathed in the glow of the sunset. It was such a lovely portrait that anyone who looked at it could tell the artist had painted it with love. The details were so carefully rendered that anyone who saw it would pause to admire the happy family captured within it.

On the third night they moved into their new home, named House Belloran, Belle hosted a lavish dinner in the newly furnished dining room, where she had carefully arranged candles to make everything feel warm and cozy.

Everything carried the scent of newness, and the feeling of being in a new place was still fresh in every one of their hearts.

Belle, for one, couldn’t have enough of looking around and admiring every polished corner and detail. Though the house was far bigger than the one she had imagined, it already felt like a home, especially since they had decorated a few of the rooms together as one family.

The first night she had slept in the house, everything had felt awfully strange and unfamiliar, the space too wide and the silence too deep, unlike in the small cottage where every movement and sound was not hidden.

But making love to her husband on their new bed, in their new room, being held in his embrace throughout the night, and waking up to find him watching her as the morning light streamed in through the windows had been the best part. It was in that moment she accepted that this was home now, a permanent home.

She had then decided to host a dinner on the third night and invite guests over, though who she intended to invite had remained a mystery to Rohan, who had asked where she would even find guests when they lived in such a secluded place.

"You’ll see," she had told him with a smile. "Just dress for the event."

Rohan had laughed and shaken his head, thinking she was teasing him about having guests over.

Rohan had told her about what he had done to help Ereves and the five demons, who were now working to fix the demon world, but he had never actually expected her to not only invite Ereves himself as their guest, but also the other demons he had rescued.

He had known she was up to something when she had ordered the new workers assigned to their house to make the dinner lavish and grand, while also reminding him about the guests.

He had felt Ereves’s presence in the house the moment he stepped inside. That feeling was confirmed when Rohan came down the stairs for dinner, dressed formally and carrying his daughter in his arms, only to find Ereves and the five demons already seated in their dining hall.

"You’re finally here, come along," Belle beamed as she walked toward her husband, who had stopped short at the sight of his father. She gently guided him to his seat, taking Rosey from his arms and placing her in her chair. The little girl could walk steadily now, having inherited the fast growth of the demon blood in her veins.

The moment Belle set Rosey down, she herself got down from the chair and walked around to the strangers sitting in their house, staring at her grandfather in particular, who looked so much like her papa. She walked to him and, with the innocent curiosity of a child, arched her brows and asked, "I have two papa?"

Ereves, who looked uncomfortable and tense as he wasn’t used to all of this, sitting for dinner with beings he had once considered beneath him, let out a laugh at the adorable little girl in the beautiful gown before him. She had grown so much from when he had last seen her as a baby with striking eyes. Those same eyes were still there, bright and expressive, and her cheeks were still round and pink. He almost couldn’t believe that someone this fine, this lovely, had come from his bloodline.

"More like grandpa. Rosemary, is it?" he said as he bent down and awkwardly took her into his lap, but Rohan’s snort of displeasure made him quickly put her down.
