Chapter 249 - Scrabble

The whole afternoon, MJ and Karmina with Henry cooked delicious foods that each of them loved. Mostly, they prepare most things that MJ and Johanna craved. Although Johanna stopped craving, she still wanted to eat delicious foods and so Karmina and Henry prepared all of it for them. They arrived in the mansion at eight in the evening and it's just in time that they set up the time when they arrived.

"Mom! This is amazing." Keira exclaimed.

"Are you supposed to watch over your weight since your wedding is two months away?" Johanna asked, which made Keira frown toward her.

"You are always a party popper." She snuggled to Johanna and they took their seats.

Keira's eyes widened on the food and currently, there's also Alex who joined them. It's like back then, when they had a family dinner in this mansion. Harvey had everything secured and used another entrance to get to the mansion. He even cleaned up the other houses to make sure that no one would spy on them. Everything is clear and they could have a little party.

"Bedrooms are ready," Karmina said. "We can have a little chat on the patio."

"Wines are in the cellar as always," Harvey said while removing the bones of the fish and putting it on his wife's plate.

"We can have cheese or crackers," Keira said excitedly. "This is the weekend and I can't wait for other activities."

Alessandro on the other hand places his hand over Keira's thigh to initiate something. She didn't look at him and smiled. It only means something. Since she's happy, so happy, there's a big chance that they will have it tonight.

"By the way, what's with that annoying discussion with that foreigner," Henry asked Alessandro as he pulled his hand from his lap. "Sandro," He called.

"He wanted me to sell that piece of land. He was telling me that I was an idiot." He shrugged.

"Don't worry, dad. His queen will take care of it." Keira said with a smirk. "The upcoming party, I am sure that that certain asshole is there."

She giggled and patted her husband's crotch under the table. He looked at her with full admiration.

"I swear, if you guys talk like teenagers again, I will throw up," Johanna said out of nowhere as Henry laughed and agreed with his daughter.

"Those two talk like that?" Harvey asked.

"Yeah," Johanna shrugged at him as Harvey cringed.

"What's wrong about that? It's adorable." Karmina nodded her head.

"See?" Keira frowned at her siblings.

Johanna only sighed and continued eating while Connor was watching her eat. Oddly, Connor would watch her eat while he ate only a little. So, Johanna would also glare at him.

"By the way, about the party?" MJ asked as she looked at Keira. The two showed a very ecstatic expression.

"I can't wait. I bought all of the necessary things that are needed!" Keira exclaimed.

"How can she become this ecstatic, always?" Connor asked, which made Keira cringed.

"That's because I am excited as a Godmother and an Aunt. That's also because it's the weekend."

"Weekend?" Connor asked. Alessandro grinned as the weekend rang in his ears. He loves hearing that. Connor thought that it was because of the good food but Keira didn't mention it further as Alessandro knew well what the weekend meant for them.

The splendid dinner went well as the boys helped with cleaning up the table and put the dishes on the dishwasher. The boys weren't complaining about anything while the two pregnant ladies were already on the patio and Keira was helping her mother with the wines that they were having. It's an hour's preparation since all of them were full from the dinner.

"So, this new dress that you designed. I think I will use it for the upcoming event. Since my hubby got bullied by that asshole, I think I have to flaunt my multiple intelligence in linguistics."

Karmina laughed and lifted the champagne.

"Well, my dear. Do whatever you want, Lioness."

"By the way, mom. About the wedding," She sighed and looked at her. "Will it be safe for us?"

"Yes," Karmina smiled at her like there's nothing to worry about. She hugged her mother. She suddenly showed her anxiousness regarding everything. Although she was happy to have a complete family. "Don't worry my little girl. Mommy will do everything for you. Okay? And that Wendy and Charles Empire are very much scared of me."

She looked up at her as Karmina nodded to make sure of it.

"Mommy will do everything to keep you, Harvey, Jo, Ales, Connor, and MJ safe. For now, just live normally and be happy. Because although you are an adult, I will still protect you."

Keira never expected that she would hear this from her mother. A tear escaped from her eyes as she nodded and smiled. She's terrified every day and night. She always thought of her husband. She always thought that one day or one night, Wendy would take Alessandro from her. She wiped her tears finally and sniffled. Then, she took the wines as they went to the patio and put it on the ice buckets where Jo and MJ filled.

"Bone fire!" Connor exclaimed as he filled up the round can with logs and lightened it.

"Wow, this is amazing. It feels like a camp." Keira said and smiled at the grass where they put an outdoor mattress with pillows and blankets. There's also a big screen with speakers for their movie.

"Scrabble guys!" Connor took out the big scrabble as they went in circles. "This will be my partner." Connor grinned.

"Ugh, that's unfair. Why can I be Jo's partner?" she pouted.

"Babe, what the hell? I will become more and more jealous if you always choose Johanna's side."

"Sorry, Keira. But Johanna is already taken and I will be married to her." Connor told him that made her pouted.

They all circled and Johanna leaned on Connor as they mixed up the letters and then Henry was busy recording it through the paper. It was just starting but then Keira was competitive. Since there's only Alex who doesn't have a partner, he was the one who was recording the scores.

"How is she getting scores?" Harvey asked Alex who only shrugged.

"Isn't Keira a songwriter?" Alex asked, which made Harvey groan.

"I'm having a dumb brain right now," MJ said.

"That's not good," Alex commented who moved closer to them. "I can help."

"Sure, I passed. How about we switch. I'll record." MJ said as Alex gave the paper to her. "My mind worked more with numbers than words." She giggled.

"Well, it's a good thing that it's different for both of us."

The game continued but since Johanna was super smart and intelligent, Connor didn't do much. He only massaged his wife's shoulders and head as he also put a blanket over her shoulders. He was also the one who put the letters on as she commanded. At the end of the scrabble that lasted for two hours, Johanna won and Karmina gave the prize. A card that has millions on it.

"The hell!" Harvey sighed.

"You still have a consolation prize." Karmina laughed but he gave the second prize to Keira that cost 250,000.

"Let's send this to UNICEF!" Keira exclaimed that it made them all surprised. But even back then, Keira always donated a lot of things that she wouldn't be able to use to UNICEF and other foundations.

"Babe, let's separate it to others okay." Alessandro patted her head.

"Put half of it to our child's funds." Johanna gave it to Connor.

"Okay," Connor said. "How about the other half?" He asked and put it in his wallet.

"Do whatever you want with it." She said,

"How about another investment to EPUA?" Keira suggested.

"Con, I will take care of it."

"Let's have wine then," Alex said as he stood and prepared the wines while the two pregnant ladies will have non-alcohol cocktails. The movie started. Johanna already changed her clothes into something comfortable as she snuggled to Connor as the movie started. The movie was a cartoon and all of them would watch it and probably would critique it later. That's how their movie marathon goes.

"The animation is amazing," Keira mumbled and snuggled to her husband.

"Indeed."

"We can invest in animation," Karmina said. "I think we can use your singers from it. Did Alicia practice opera?"

"Yes," Keira nodded her head. "She could do plays and opera at the same time. Mom, are you going to invest if ever?"

Karmina smiled and nodded.

"Sure, darling. I already have an investor for it. If you don't mind."

"I will direct it then." Keira grinned.

She already has it in her mind. Her mother might have heard her singing a song for play or writing for it. It's one of her wishes. To direct and produce animation as all of the Waltz Disney does. Will her dream come true? Although it will take two years to create perfect animations, she wouldn't mind. She wanted to have it in this country and to be also shown outside.

"I will have someone send you a proposal and a writer for it? I will send it to you."

"I'm excited," Keira said and panted.
