Keifer didn't wait for her to move. He slid his massive arms around her waist, pulling her completely into a tight, warm hug against his broad chest. Jay Jay let out a soft sigh, letting her forehead rest against his shoulder as the familiar scent of his cologne enveloped her.
After the exhausting morning chaos, his tight embrace was exactly what she needed to feel completely safe again.
He guided her over to the dining table, pulling out a chair. Jay Jay slouched down, resting her elbow on the mahogany wood and placing her chin directly onto her palm. She looked up at him, her red, sleepy eyes blinking slowly.
"Jay?" Keifer murmured, his voice dropping into a low, incredibly soothing register.
"Ummm," she mumbled cutely, her pouty lips barely moving.
"You must be hungry," he said gently. He reached out, his large hand brushing the stray locks of messy hair away from her eyes before caressing the crown of her head with absolute sweetness.
"Hmm," she whimpered softly, leaning her cheek slightly into his warm palm as he stroked her hair.
"What do you want to eat?" he asked softly, his dark eyes locked onto her face with nothing but pure, protective devotion.
Before she could answer, Tita ,Lola walked into the dining room, looking as elegant and sharp as ever. She took one look at the thick black smoke pouring out of the kitchen and then looked at Keifer, completely ignoring her own son panic.
"Good afternoon, Keifer," Tita, Lola both greeted with a warm, approving smile, entirely unbothered by his random appearance in her house.
"Good afternoon, Tita, Lola," Keifer replied smoothly, bowing his head respectfully toward her.
Meanwhile, behind them, Angelo and Aries were literally burning the kitchen down. A sudden burst of flames shot up from a frying pan as Aries tried to put out a oil fire with a wet dish towel.
"Aries, you idiot, don't use water! You're making it bigger!" Angelo yelled, waving a smoking towel around like a madman while coughing violently.
"I'm trying to save the garlic rice! Shut up and hand me the fire extinguisher!" Aries roared back grumpily, his apron covered in black soot and grease.
Keifer watched the absolute daycare disaster with a smug, victorious smirk. He looked back down at Jay Jay, who was watching her brothers with a thoroughly amused expression, her chin still resting on her palm.
"Stay here, marshmallow," Keifer growled softly, planting one more lingering kiss on the top of her head.
He stood up, unbuttoning the cuffs of his black shirt and rolling the sleeves up past his muscular forearms. He walked straight into the smoky kitchen, effortlessly taking over the space like a true leader. He grabbed the pan from Aries' hand, tossed the burnt contents into the sink, and turned off the roaring burners in one smooth, dominant motion.
"Step aside," Keifer commanded, his deep register cutting through their panicked shouting with absolute authority. "Before the two of you actually burn the Fernandez estate to the ground."
Angelo and Aries froze, completely out of breath, looking absolutely defeated as they stood there covered in flour and soot. They wanted to argue, but looking at the completely charred kitchen and their starving, exhausted little sister waiting at the table, they had no choice but to back down. They crossed their arms and stood at the edge of the kitchen, watching in pure, grumpy defeat.
Keifer didn't waste a single second. He moved with effortless grace, pulling fresh ingredients from the refrigerator. Within minutes, the heavy smoke disappeared, replaced by the incredible, mouth-watering aroma of perfectly seasoned beef tapa, fluffy garlic rice, and golden, flawless pancakes.
Jay Jay watched him from the table, her heart melting completely as the sole billionaire heir of the Watson Empire cooked a magnificent meal for her, while her strict, powerful brothers were forced to watch him in silent, miserable submission. 🤣
Tita and Lola walked over to the dining table, entirely ignoring the thick black soot on her faces. She took a deep breath of the mouth-watering aroma coming from Keifer's freshly cooked beef tapa and perfect pancakes.
"Oh, Keifer, this is absolutely magnificent," Tita praised loudly, her voice dripping with amusement as she looked over her shoulder to tease Angelo and Aries even more. "It is such a blessing to have a real man in this house who actually knows how to handle a kitchen. Unlike some people who can't even flip a pancake without calling the fire department."
Angelo and Aries stood at the edge of the dining room, looking like two giant, grumpy toddlers covered in flour and soot. They crossed their arms and began giving Keifer the absolute dirtiest side-eyes in corporate history. If looks could kill, the sole heir of the Watson Empire would have been buried right next to their burnt garlic rice. 🤣
Keifer, completely unbothered, smoothly placed the steaming plate of fresh food right in front of Jay Jay. He sat down right next to her, his dark eyes tracking her sleepy, red eyes with pure adoration.
Seeing her little granddaughter looking so pale and exhausted from her period, Tita Lola's heart melted. She sat on the other side of Jay Jay, immediately scooping up a small, perfect portion of the garlic rice and beef tapa with her own fingers to feed her traditionally.
"Here, my sweet little girl, open your mouth. Eat this properly so your blood pressure goes back up," Lola said gently, bringing her hand toward Jay Jay's lips.
Keifer's eyebrows twitched. His possessive, protective instincts instantly flared up. He couldn't let anyone else feed his marshmallow—not even her sweet grand-aunt. Moving with lightning speed, Keifer smoothly intercepted Tita Lola's hand by gently grabbing a clean fork and making a clever excuse.
" Lola, you should eat first," Keifer murmured smoothly, his deep register dropping into an incredibly polite, respectful tone. "You've been up all morning dealing with the house. Please, enjoy the food while it's hot. Let me take care of Jay Jay."
Tita blinked, holding her hand back. "I am feeding her, Keifer. I want to make sure she eats every single bite."
"It's okay, really. You must be tired," Keifer countered with a flawless, charming smile, gently nudging a separate plate of food toward the elderly woman. "Let me feed her. You eat, Tita."
Tita Lola paused, looking at Keifer's incredibly intense, devoted expression. She didn't realize that he was just being a fiercely possessive fiancé who wanted to do everything for his wifey instead, she thought he was just being an incredibly polite, sweet young gentleman who wanted her to eat first! 😁🤣🤣
"Oh, what a thoughtful boy," Lola cooed, her heart completely won over as she picked up her own fork. "Alright, since you insist on letting me eat first, I will let you handle her."
Angelo and Aries practically choked on their own breath from the background, their side-eyes turning into pure glares of disbelief 🤣.
They knew exactly what the brute leopard was doing. He was smoothly manipulating their Tita Lola just so he could steal the chance to feed Jay Jay himself.
Keifer ignored the brothers completely. He scooped up a perfect piece of pancake, blew on it gently to make sure it wasn't too hot, and brought it right to Jay Jay's pouty lips.
"Open up, baby," Keifer murmured softly, his voice filled with warmth and pure devotion.
Jay Jay looked at her flustered brothers, her happy aunt, and her incredibly smug fiancé. A cute, sleepy smile broke through her exhausted face as she leaned forward and happily took the food from his hand.
Tita walked over to the dining table, entirely ignoring the thick black soot on her grand-nephews' faces. She took a deep breath of the mouth-watering aroma coming from Keifer's freshly cooked beef tapa and perfect pancakes.
