Spoiled By My Nine Beast Husbands (Emma Tibarn) novel Chapter 222

**When She Opened the Door to the Life She Was Afraid to Live by Nora Vale Kingsley**
**Chapter 222: Unexpected News**

“Why are you two together, Kieran and Silas?” Corvin’s voice trembled with disbelief, his heart racing as he took in the sight before him. Kieran had just emerged from Silas’ room, a place that was strictly off-limits to everyone except Emma. The very notion that Kieran had been there sent a wave of confusion crashing over him.

Kieran’s eyes were red and swollen, a telltale sign that something was amiss. Corvin’s stomach twisted with concern. “Kieran, what happened to your eyes?”

He looked as if he had been crying, and that realization sent a shiver down Corvin’s spine. But that couldn’t be right—Kieran shouldn’t have been able to shed tears anymore.

“I’m fine,” Kieran replied, forcing a weak smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes. “I came to ask Silas for help. It’s all settled now. It’s late—get some rest. I’ll head back.”

With that, he hurried away, his footsteps echoing down the hallway. Corvin couldn’t shake the feeling that something was deeply wrong; Kieran walking around like that was anything but a good sign.

Turning to Silas, Corvin’s brow furrowed with curiosity and concern. “What did he ask you to help with?”

A sly smile crept onto Silas’ lips as he flicked a delicate pink pearl toward Corvin, the light catching it just right. “He asked me to treat him,” Silas replied nonchalantly.

Corvin’s eyes widened in astonishment as the implications of Silas’ words sank in. “So Kieran can cry again?”

Silas, always the enigma, reached out and playfully pinched Corvin’s mouth shut, cutting off his words. “I saw you coming down from the third floor,” he said with a casual air. “You went to see Emma?”

Corvin, caught off guard, could only nod vigorously, his mouth still held captive by Silas’ fingers.

Releasing him, Corvin finally managed to speak, his voice tinged with frustration. “I wanted to stay with Emma, to let her rest, but Edric beat me to it. When I arrived, he was already in her room.”

The disappointment gnawed at him, a reminder of the connection he felt slipping away just when he had the chance to strengthen it. Quietly, he vowed to himself that tomorrow would be different; he would make sure to bond with Emma, no matter what.

The following day, as the sun climbed high into the sky, Emma stepped out of her room, looking rejuvenated and radiant. Her hair glimmered in the light, and there was a newfound brightness in her eyes. She made her way to the kitchen, where Corvin was diligently preparing lunch.

As soon as his gaze fell upon her, his heart soared. “Emma, you’re awake! I made something special for you. Just wait outside for a moment—it’s almost ready!”

“Smells incredible,” Emma exclaimed, breathing in the rich aroma wafting through the air. “Corvin, your cooking has really improved. You’re killing it!”

The kitchen was filled with the delightful scent of spices and herbs, a testament to Corvin’s culinary skills. Among all the residents in the house, he was undoubtedly the most talented cook, and her praise made his heart swell with pride. “As long as you enjoy it, I’m relieved,” he replied, a grin spreading across his face. He had feared that his efforts might not meet her expectations.

Emma stepped closer, her warmth enveloping him as she planted a quick kiss on his cheek. “After lunch, let’s go for a stroll. When we get back tonight, we’ll bond.”
