Fate's Dark Side Chapter 211

I was very hungry, so I ate a lot of food, and Sylvester kept adding things to my plate. He always reminded me I was eating for two, and he did not want his child to be malnourished. It was cute, really.

"We are expected to cut the ribbon for the opening," Marcel said, and Sylvester smiled at him.

"I think Dominic should cut the ribbon this year. He had always wanted to do it badly," Sylvester said, and his friends laughed.

"He is a serious handicap on our team," Theo said, grumbling and everyone laughed.

"Tamia," Avery said, and I turned to look at her.

"Guess who is playing polo?" She asked with a mischievous grin, and I frowned at her.

"Leo, Max and Kyle with some other douchebags from the east," She said, and I was in shock because I knew Leo did not play polo.

"When did they start playing polo?" I asked and looked at Linda, who shrugged.

"I don't know, but I think it is a bit suspicious," Avery said, and I remembered how the men were looking at them at the ball.

"Was that why they were looking at Marcel and Theodore scornfully?" I asked, and Linda smiled.

"I saw that. I looked right past him," She said, laughing with satisfaction in her voice.

"I can't wait to see them fool themselves on the field." She said and looked at Theo.

"If your team happen to meet theirs, please do me the honours by beating the crap out of Kyle. After all, accidents happen on the field," She said and kissed Theo, who seemed to be on board with what she was saying.

I wanted to say they should exclude Leo from their plan, but I did not know how Sylvester would feel about it.

I could not laugh at their plan. As great as it sounded, I couldn't.

Above all, I remember that Leo made a fool of himself at the ball to try to save me from embarrassment. He was the leader of the east; I knew many people would talk about his drunken stunt, and it might make headlines, and he did it for me. I also knew Leo knew nothing about polo and wouldn't be safe playing against our men on the field.

Sylvester touched my hand and kissed it gently.

"I won't let them hurt Leo, Tamia. Just Kyle and Max, not Leo," he linked me, and I searched his eyes expectantly.

"It is okay for you to feel protective of him. Before he broke his promise, he was your first best friend and confidant. I could see that even at the ball, I could see the connection. It was still there. I am not jealous, Tamia, because I know I own your heart. He is a friend and a loyal one at that." He linked me and kissed my hand, and I was relieved.

"But I can't promise the same where Devin is concerned," He said, and I laughed because I honestly did not care about that.

I wished him well, but if he made a nuisance of himself, then it was okay that Sylvester messed him up. He deserved it for bringing Susan and her uncle.

"I am excited about the blue moon," Linda said, rubbing her tiny bump.

Theo kissed her neck where his mark would rest, and she moaned.

"I think we should start leaving," Avery said, and I knew she was a bit unhappy because she wanted a baby too.

"Should we go in the same car or separate cars?" Linda asked innocently, but I knew Avery would say no, so before Avery spoke, I quickly spoke.

"It will be a great idea, Ave," I told Avery, and she knew I suspected her mood was a bit foul.

"Okay, Lady Tamia," she said, and we all giggled. We left the dining room and went to prepare to leave.

I wore a simple black dress with a fascinator on my head. While Sylvester was decked up in his official outfit. Just like the ball night, he looked dashing.

"My prince charming," I said, and he smiled at me.

I was nervous about our Croquet team, but I kept it to myself. I knew we would have lots of fun.

There was a knock at the door, and Sylvester asked the person to enter. To my surprise, it was Dominic, and he was wearing the same outfit as Sylvester, but where Sylvester's outfit was decorated in gold threads, his was decorated with regular cream-coloured thread, and he looked handsome.
