Bedding My Vampire Mate-Chapter 61 He Met An Empty Hut

There was dead silence in the room after the King's outburst.

"I just wanted to remind his Majesty about the fact that you were supposed to have breakfast with the Queen Mother today…,"

"I am in no mood to eat with her so make sure to pass my words to her," Kayden said as he turned to head towards the restroom.

"You have been avoiding having a meal with her once a month according to the Palace rules for six months now…,"

"If you pity her so much then I permit you to wear the King's robe and dine with her. I don't mind you becoming her son too," Kayden said harshly.

He walked away in anger.

[Even though he hates me I am glad to see him smiling for the first time in a long time. I am even happier to see that he is not only willing to date Miss Noel but he went as far as preparing a meal to please her]

Chris turned and walked out of the King's bedroom.

Kayden freshened up and got dressed by the maids who were waiting for him. 𝒷𝓮𝒹𝓃ℴ𝓿𝓮𝓁.𝓬𝓸𝓂

By the time he had finished, breakfast was served but alas Kayden shocked everyone once again when he said he wasn't gonna have breakfast.

Josephina returned just in time to deliver all that the King asked her to get.

"I didn't know her likes so I tried my best to purchase the same thing in different colours…,"

"It's ok," Kayden left Josephina perplexed with his response.

For the past months, the King's mood has been at its worst ever since she started working for him.

He complains about every little thing and punishes them for the slightest mistakes. Everyone in the Palace has been trying their best to avoid him because of his temper and this is why she was shocked to hear him say that it was ok.

"Your Majesty, sorry to ask but, are you alright?" Josephina made the bold step to ask since she was very uncomfortable with the King's sudden change in mood.

"Do you perhaps need me to send for the doctor…,"

"I couldn't be better than I am right now so there is no need to send for the doctor," Kayden was too excited to understand the hidden meaning behind Josephina's words.

"Are the lunchboxes packed yet?" Kayden raised his gaze from the shopping bags laid on the centre table.

He stared at Josephina for an answer.

Chris entered the sitting room before Josephina could respond.

"The kitchen just delivered the lunchboxes now," Chris informed.

"Get the lunchboxes and all the shopping bags into the car. I am going out now," Kayden said as he stood up from the couch.

His actions showed that this was the piece of news he was waiting for.

"But…," The piercing glares Kayden shot at him made Chris swallow back whatever he wanted to say.

"I will get it done now," Chris said. He signalled the two maids waiting on Kayden to get the stuff.

After everything was carefully placed inside the car Kayden approached the car from where he stood.

"I will drive today so give me the keys…,"

"What?" Chris asked in bewilderment. Out of subconsciousness, he hid the keys behind his back.

"I said, the keys," Kayden stretched his hand for Chris to hand the car keys over to him but he refused.

"Your Majesty, I know you are upset with me about the incident six months ago but you can't put yourself into danger because of your hatred for me," Chris, who has always been known to be strong-headed, said without doing as Kayden ordered.

"Do you think I am doing this because I am mad at you?" Kayden asked.

"Don't you think you are according so important to yourself?" Kayden scoffed.

"It's doesn't matter what is your reason for wanting to do this, all I know is that I won't hand over the keys…,"

"What insolence?" Kayden thundered angrily. Chris' decision remained unmoved despite how angry he had made the King.

Kayden didn't wait for Chris to talk further. He turned and signalled three guards standing not far away to come closer.

"I want the keys so get it from him," Kayden ordered sternly.

"Your Majesty, it's hasn't…,"

"Don't you dare try to plead for him this time around because it won't work on me today," Kayden shut Josephina up knowing too well what she wanted to do.

"Today is not like every other day. I am already running late for my appointment, I have no time to waste arguing with him," Kayden said.

His expression showed that he won't go easy on Chris.

When Chris saw that the King was very serious about his words he decided to give in to him for the first time. "Here are the keys, Your Majesty".

Kayden stretched his right hand and collected the keys from Chris. "It's good to see that we are beginning to understand each other now," Kayden said carefreely.

He entered the white Mercedes Benz which one of the guards had just opened.

They all watched him drive off.

The guards whom he ordered to get the keys from Chris returned to their post feeling very relieved that they didn't have to fight with their senior.

"How come you changed your mind so easily, it's so unlike the Chris I know," Josephina said when the King's car was out of sight.

"Didn't you see him repeatedly stare at his wristwatch ever since he finished dressing up?" Chris asked his gaze glued on the direction the King took.

"And what does the King checking his wristwatch have to do with you giving him the keys?" Josephina asked in confusion.

She didn't see a connection between the King looking at his wristwatch repeatedly and Chris handing over the keys to him without putting on a strong fight.

"That is to say that he has someone he is eager to see," Chris broke the news to him.

"Are you trying to tell me that the King is now over Miss Anderson?...,"

"I am not sure but let's hope my guess is right. I want nothing more than to see him return to his former happy self," Chris said.

He made to leave but Josephina held his hand.

"Where are you going?" She asked curiously.

"Where else if not to follow the King and make sure he is safe at all times?"

Chris smiled at her.

"Or did you really think I would let the King go out alone? What if he got attacked by assassins?" Chris asked as he began walking away.

"He hates your guts now and you still want to provoke him further by disobeying his orders, do you still want to live anymore?" Josephina asked with her voice a little louder so that Chris who had walked far away would hear her.

"I can see that they still care about each other very much but I wonder why they are behaving like cat and dog," Josephina muttered. She returned to the King's chambers afterwards.

In the forest, Kayden parked his car at a place not very obvious before he journeyed into the forest on foot.

He giggled all the way only to find an empty hut when he got there. His heart started racing against his chest as he ran out of the hut with the stuff he brought with him.

Thinking that she might be behind the hut he searched for her around but he couldn't find her.

"Our reunion wasn't another of my nightmares, right?" The stuff in his hands subconsciously fell off when realisation struck Kayden.
