Hellbound With You novel Chapter 895

Chapter 895 Weight of the world

By the time Alicia and Zeke walked back and rejoined the party, Zeke immediately realized how worried everyone else were about them even as they smiled at them both. However, they were tactful enough not to come out and directly ask them what the matter was or if they were alright.

It was obvious that everyone had felt the ominous power that he had unintentionally just let out a while ago. He really felt bad for that. Today was supposed to be the happy day for everyone.

Just as Zeke was opening his mouth and about to apologize to everyone for being a wet blanket and ruining the mood of this lively and important event, Alex went onto the stage and spoke to Charles. His face was already promising all kinds of trouble.

"I think that Zeke's punishment a while ago was not quite done yet, right, Charles?" he asked, causing everyone to shift their attention to the master of event.

"Ah, yes." Charles quickly gave Alex a series of nods. "Prince Ezekiel and Alicia, please make your way up to the stage. Your punishment had not been completed yet actually. That first song was just a warm-up. This time, we need the both of you to sing and… you both are going to sing nursery rhymes. Again, this too, will be recorded for our precious twins to watch when they're old enough."

Alicia and Zeke blinked at each other as the audience clapped thunderously for them amidst some whistles and catcalls.

"Uhm… what nursery rhymes do you know?" Alicia asked, her smile crooked.

"ABCD?" Zeke replied seriously and Alicia nearly choked on her own saliva, not expecting Zeke to joke around at this time. It should not be funny but just because it was Ezekiel saying it, she just could not help but laugh. And it seemed that she was not the only one who had found it funny because the rest of the audience, especially the males, reacted the same way as her. The red-haired bodyguard even started coughing hard after choking on his wine.

"Alright, ABCD… is a good choice." Charles said, maintaining a perfectly neutral smiling face and then Alex prepared the video, still grinning widely.

"Now, you two can start. Make sure to sing the letters clearly, Zeke." Alex playfully taunted Zeke and once the duo started singing the ABCD song, they just felt glad again because somehow, the atmosphere that they had unknowingly ruined, had at least returned to how it was when they left – light, cheerful and pleasant.

…

After a couple more games that were hosted by Charles, they finally started opening the gifts as the last event of the night. Thankfully, the night ended on an enjoyable note for everyone present.
