Chapter 28 The House of Lincoln

Chapter 28 The House of Lincoln
SHANNICA'S POV

After our stay at the Grand Palacio Hotel, we are now driving all the way to Lincoln's Mansion. Today is Sunday that's why Xander is still free. I sigh, tomorrow I have to hand over my resignation letter in the company. Although it's already spread up in all over the company and to my team that I remarried with Mr. Lincoln, yet I feel so uncomfortable by the way they look at me yesterday at the wedding, since Xander invite them over at the reception hall.
I already know what they think of me, they think I'm a sly btch and gold digger. Tsk.
"What are you thinking so deep that you keep on sighing there, Shannica?" Xander suddenly spoke who is currently driving right now at my side.
"Oh, it's nothing. Just some stuffs." I answered.
"By the way, should we pick up Xenon at your Dad's mansion, Xander?" I asks and look at him.
"Picking up Xenon? Why?" he asks.
"Uhm.. Because we're going home?" I asks. Isn't it normal for parents to pick up their kids when they're going home after leaving them to someone else's house or leaving them to their grandparents for a day?
"There's no need, Dad will drive him home later. I'm sure that brat is still sleeping at his Grandpa's bed right now." he answers.
Don't he miss his son? He was so busy this past few weeks because of our marriage. Hays.
"Why do you keep on calling him brat? He's still a baby." I corrected him.
He look at me and then he laugh,
"Haha Xenon? A baby? You don't know what you're talking about, Shannica. My son isn't a normal kid." he said laughing as if I said something ridiculous.
I frown, ugh, why can't he understand what I said the other day that kids are kids no matter how they behave. And Xenon... There's something about him that's why he acts up like that, and I'm going to find that out.
\---
Few minutes later, we finally arrive at the mansion, and the butlers and some maids welcomed me again.
"Welcome home, Mr. & Mrs. Lincoln." they said and bow their heads.
Shoot. Right, I am now Mrs. Lincoln... It sounds so weird.
"Let's go." Xander invited and put his hands on my shoulder. Okay? Do we have to walk closer like this?
We entered the main door, and to my surprise, a party popper has welcomed us.
"Welcome, newlyweds!"
I glance to where the sound was and I was a little shock to see the maids holding a banner that said 'Congratulations on your wedding, Mr. & Mrs. Lincoln' and Xander's dad and Xenon was standing right infront of the banner.
They're here?
"Dad. I thought you're still not here." Xander started as we walk closer and greet his Dad.
"I'm just so excited to see my daughter in law again. Right, Xenon baby?" Dad asks and glance at Xenon.
I also look at Xenon, but he was just playing a game with his iPad.
"Hi, Xenon. Did you rest well last night?" I greeted him.
No comment. Totally ignored.
"Xenon. What did I said to you whenever someone is talking to you?" Xander asks in a warning tone.
Aish... I immediately elbow Xander's stomach, and whispers,
"Just let him be."
He just sigh while his brows are furrowed.
"Welcome to our family, darling." Xander's dad welcome me with open arms. I smile and greet him with a hug.
"Thank you, Dad." I commented.
I notice that there were delivery guys who are bring stuffs upstairs,
"Are those my stuffs?" I questioned looking at Xander.
He nodded, "Yes, and I got our room ready." he answer.
Wait what? Our room?! Aren't we going to sleep in separate rooms?!
"Oh right, show Shannica your bedroom first, son. Please feel at home darling." Xander's dad utter while flashing a sweet smile.
"Come on." Xander also said and put his arm in my waist.
Before we head to the stairs, my peripheral view notice that Xenon is looking at me, and when I glance at him, he really is staring at me.

"Xenon---" I was about to call him but he leer at me and roll his eyes. He walk away, heading to the pool area I think.
Acchkk! The heck is wrong with that kid?

"What is it?" Xander asks,
"Ah nothing. Let's go." I said and we went upstairs. We head to the open door where a delivery man went out from the room.
"It's all settled, sir." the man notified.

"Good job. Thanks." Xander commented and lead the way with me following him.

The moment I enter the room, my mouth formed into 'o' out of amusement and shock. Woah, this bedroom alone is much more bigger than my apartment.

There are maids who are fixing the bed inside, and Xander gesture them to go out so they immediately walk towards the door and close it.
Xander and I was left in this wide and spacious room,
"What do you think?" Xander questioned.
I look at the King sized bed,
"Is this where I will really sleep from this day forward?" I asks,
"Yes, this is our bedroom, Shannica. Is there anything that isn't on your liking? Just tell me, I will ask them to redesign." he added.

"N-No. It's not about that... Uhm, Xander, do we really have to sleep t-together?", I questioned even though I'm a little embarrassed.

He stops from talking at look at me seriously for a while, and then he smirks,
"Why not? We even did it already." he teased reminding me of what happen last night. Sht.

My cheeks blush and I suddenly felt hot, but then I heard Xander chuckle,
"I'm afraid to say yes, we need to sleep in the same room, Shannica. You see, some of the people who works here for me, also works for Dad. They might notice something odd if I will let you sleep in a separate room, I don't want Dad to be suspicious about our relationship." he explains.

Hays, he have a point tho.

"Don't worry, I won't force myself to you if you don't want to do it with me either." he added.

"Okay, I guess it can't be help--- WHAT?" I shouted as soon as I realize what he's talking about.

GEEZ, IS HE TELLING ME THAT WE CAN DO IT AGAIN IF I WANT TO?! OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS, JESUS CHRIST, I DIDN'T KNOW THIS GUY HAS A PERVERTED DEMON INSIDE.
LOL.

I heard him laugh,
"Hahaha! You should've seen your face. Relax, Shannica, I won't bite." he said teasingly. He was already teary-eyed from laughing so hard.

I force to gave him a smile though I'm not in the mood to be mocked, tsk.

"You can arrange some stuff if you want. I'll be heading downstairs to talk to Dad about something."

"Oh sure, go ahead. I'll just change my clothes and be there too." I answered.

He smile at me as a response before he went out and close the door.

I sigh heavily, and roam around in the surrounding and stop from the big mirror near the wardrobe area...

This is it, Shannica. You just need to do your best. Everything will be fine.
