Chapter 651 - 649: Your Husband Is All Yours

Chapter 651: Chapter 649: Your Husband Is All Yours

The banquet hall was filled with people.

Celeste Grant sat at the head table, with her son seated beside her.

Just then, Javier Sinclair approached slowly, holding their daughter in his arms.

Everyone at the banquet quickly rose to their feet and bowed.

"Greetings, Exalted One."

"Greetings, Little Highness."

The little girl in Javier Sinclair’s arms fixed her gaze on her mother, then waved her small hand. "Mommy, we’re here."

Seeing Javier Sinclair and the daughter in his arms approach, Celeste Grant, who was still seated, beckoned to them. "You’re here?" As she spoke, her gentle gaze fell upon her daughter.

She smiled slightly and said, "Sweetheart, come to Mommy." As she spoke, Celeste Grant shifted in her seat, wanting her daughter to sit beside her. That way, once Javier Sinclair sat down, their daughter would be between them.

"Hehe, my sister’s sitting with me."

Aaron Sinclair was faster. He stood up and walked over to his father, reaching out to take his sister and lovingly patting her head. ?(????) "Come on, sweet little sister, sit with your big brother. I’ll cut up some meat for you."

The little girl raised her hand.

"Okay, okay! Let’s eat meat! Eating is the most important thing in the world! I need to eat meat to grow tall."

"Hahaha, all right..." Aaron Sinclair agreed, carrying his sister back to his seat. He placed her beside him. "Our Ellie needs to eat a lot so she can grow up to be very tall."

Celeste Grant watched this scene unfold and exchanged a small smile with Javier Sinclair. In a parent’s eyes, their children are always adorable, no matter what they do.

Celeste Grant then leaned closer to the man beside her and whispered, "Our son is back. On such an important day, shouldn’t you, the big boss, say a few words?"

Overhearing the words "big boss," Aaron Sinclair, who was sitting nearby, couldn’t help but laugh. "Dad, didn’t you hear Mom? Go on, say a few words."

Javier Sinclair’s gaze swept over the crowd.

He raised his hand to gesture for silence.

"This is my son who has just returned, Aaron Sinclair. To celebrate our family’s reunion, everyone should drink to their heart’s content tonight. No one leaves sober." As he spoke, he raised a cup of wine. "Drink up." With that, he downed it in one go.

He was asked to say a few words, and he really only offered a couple of lines.

The next moment, everyone present stood up in unison.

"Congratulations, Exalted One! Our felicitations, Exalted One!"

"The Young Master’s return is truly a joyous occasion! Tonight, we toast the Young Master!"

"Welcome back to the Demonic Domain, Young Master."

"Welcome, Young Master."

Aaron Sinclair stood up.

He raised his wine cup in a toast.

"Thank you, everyone. I’d like to propose a toast to you all."

The little girl sitting beside Aaron Sinclair stood up to join in the fun. "I want to toast Big Brother, too!"

Everyone burst into laughter at her words.

"Haha, all right."

"Our Little Highness is so adorable."

The five-year-old girl was chubby and truly looked adorable. Everyone present had watched Elise Sinclair grow up and was genuinely fond of her.

Celeste Grant smiled gently.

"All right, everyone, please be seated. Have some of the dumplings we all worked hard to make today. They just came out of the pot and are still steaming hot. If you don’t eat them now, they’ll get cold."

"Yes, my lady."

Everyone sat down.

Picking up their chopsticks, they first took a dumpling from the plate in front of them. One bite, and smiles appeared on their faces. They had all personally taken part in making these dumplings—some used Magic to roll out the wrappers, while others chopped the filling. Having been involved in the process, eating them now brought a great sense of accomplishment.

It felt like home.

"Delicious."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Javier Sinclair picked up his chopsticks and deftly selected a celery-filled dumpling, dipping it in a bit of vinegar. He placed it in Celeste Grant’s bowl, knowing she liked this flavor.

Celeste Grant glanced up at him and said in a low voice, "Well, look at you, Archfiend. Being so nice."

"Just eat," he said.

"You eat too."

She said, placing a bamboo shoot and pork dumpling in his bowl. "You have this one, Husband."

He nodded slightly.

"Mm."

Seeing this exchange, the others gathered their heads together and spoke in hushed tones.

"The lady and The Exalted One have such a good relationship."

"Yes, our Exalted One has changed."

"Look, The Exalted One is smiling. It’s so gentle."

Their Sovereign Lord used to be completely aloof from women, but ever since getting together with his lady, even his temper has improved. The Exalted One used to smile before, but his smiles were always sinister and terrifying. A smile from The Exalted One used to mean someone’s death was imminent. But now when he smiles, it’s just a genuine smile, with no other hidden meaning.

Later at the banquet.

Celeste Grant had a few too many drinks.

On the way back, she felt a little hot and flushed. She glanced sideways at the man walking beside her and reached out, unerringly grasping his hand.

He stopped walking and looked down at her.

"What’s wrong?"

Celeste Grant turned around, lifting her eyes to him with a smile as she held out her arms. "Archfiend, give me a hug." As she spoke, she leaned into his embrace and wrapped her arms around his waist.

Javier Sinclair paused for a moment, then reached out to pat her head. He hugged her back, leaning down to her ear. "Your face is so red. Are you hot?"

"Mm, a little... This new Spiritual Wine has quite a kick. It’s making me feel a bit floaty."

Javier Sinclair placed a hand on the small of her back, pulling her closer against him. He leaned down again, whispering in her ear, "Let your husband help you cool down."

Before his words had even registered with Celeste Grant, she felt a hand tighten on her waist, and the next moment, he bent down and swept her up into his arms.

Celeste Grant’s gaze fell on his face, now just inches from hers.

"Cool down? Archfiend, you have impure thoughts."

Javier Sinclair replied, "Aren’t my intentions toward you perfectly obvious?"

Celeste Grant chuckled.

"Good, because I feel the same way about you."

"Husband."

"Mm," he hummed in reply.

Celeste Grant cupped his face and pressed a quick kiss to his lips.

"Your lips are very soft. Very kissable."

Sometimes, with feelings, you just have to follow your heart. If you want to kiss someone, you just do it.

Javier Sinclair’s arms, which were holding her, tensed for a moment. He stopped walking, his gaze shifting to Celeste Grant’s face. She was already looking at him, and their eyes met.

She smiled and said, "It’s true. They’re very soft."

Javier Sinclair’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He lowered his voice. "You like them? Have another taste." Before the words were even out, he had already captured her lips in a precise kiss.

「In the courtyard.」

「Under the moonlight.」

A pair of figures were entwined, unwilling to part.

After the kiss ended, Celeste Grant gently wiped her lips with her fingers.

He looked at her and said, "It’s true what they say. My lady, I would even give you my life."

Celeste Grant let out a soft laugh. "What would I do with your life? All I want is you."

His voice was deep.

"Mm. Then your husband is all yours."

Holding her, his figure flickered, and they both vanished from the spot. When they reappeared, they were already back in their bedchambers.
