family dinner

Amber POV

The night of the family dinner arrived far too quickly.

Honestly, I should have known it would become a disaster.

Every family dinner somehow did.

Lunch had been surprisingly pleasant.

The children had spent most of it talking about their first day of school.

Alice had apparently made six new friends.

Alex had somehow ended up helping one of the computer teachers.

Rose had joined three clubs.

And Iris had already corrected a history textbook.

The teacher had apparently thanked her.

I wasn’t entirely sure if that was impressive or concerning.

The mood changed the moment Alice realized the children were not invited to dinner.

“Excuse me?”

She placed her little hands on her hips.

“Not invited?”

Mrs. Sun looked completely unrepentant.

“No.”

Alice gasped.

Theatrically.

“You can’t do that.”

“We just did.”

Alice looked betrayed.

Alex looked equally offended.

“We live here.”

Mr. Sun nodded.

“You do.”

“Then how are we not invited?”

No one had an answer for that.

Rose looked genuinely upset.

s narrowed her eyes suspiciously.

The four of them spent the next ten minutes attempting to negotiate their way into the dinner.

They failed.

Spectacularly.

Which was why, several hours later, I found myself asking Iris to babysit.

The teenager looked deeply offended.

“I’m not a babysitter.”

“You are tonight.”

Iris sighed dramatically.

“Fine.”

A pause.

“But I’m charging emotional damages.”

Alex immediately agreed.

“Reasonable.”

Alice nodded.

“Very reasonable.”

I was raising tiny lawyers.

That realization terrified me.

By evening everyone had gathered in the castle’s formal dining room.

Grandfather.

Jason’s grandparents.

Jason.

Me.

For once there were no children.

The silence felt strange.

Almost unnatural.

Dinner began peacefully.

Which should have been my first warning sign.

The moment dessert arrived, Mrs. Sun put down her fork.

And looked directly at Jason.

Oh no.

Jason noticed too.

His shoulders visibly tensed.

“Jason.”

There it was.

The serious voice.

The one mothers used before asking dangerous questions.

Mrs. Sun folded her hands together.

“Is the infertility issue true?”

Silence filled the room.

Mr. Sun immediately joined in.

“And if it was, why would you hide something like that from us?”

Jason opened his mouth.

Then closed it.

Then looked at me.

Apparently hoping I would save him.

Fair enough.

I had started this disaster.

I set down my glass.

“It’s false.”

Every head turned toward me.

I continued.

“Jason and I were tested.”

A pause.

“The results came back the same day.”

Another pause.

“Everything is perfectly fine.”

The tension in the room evaporated instantly.

Mr. Sun visibly relaxed.

Mrs. Sun looked relieved.

And Grandfather…

Grandfather laughed.

Actually laughed.

A loud, genuine laugh.

The entire table stared at him.

He wiped at his eyes.

“Thank God.”

I blinked.

“What?”

Grandfather pointed his fork at me.

“You have no idea how awkward this has been.”

I stared.

He continued.

“I kept telling myself it didn’t matter.”

A pause.

“And it doesn’t.”

Another pause.

“But I really wanted the Asher family line to continue.”

The room burst into laughter.

Even Jason.

Grandfather shrugged unapologetically.

“What?”

A pause.

“I admit it.”

Another pause.

“Though honestly.”

His expression softened.
