Chapter 45: Infamous

"Abigail, come over here," Alexander suddenly ordered. His expression had become quite intimidating. The fire had switched to a glacier again.

"Quickly, Abigail," he said, sounding impatient and Abi swallowed as she stood up and walked closer to him.

Alexander held her hand and made her sit on his lap.

Abigail was confused. She thought he was going to send her back to her room again.

"Continue eating," he ordered and Abi looked at him, with a confused frown on her face.

"Listen to me and do what I say, little lamb. Or, do you want me to feed you?" he smirked and Abi pressed her lips into a thin line. Feeding each other was actually on her list but she didn't like to do that this way; not when he was in his Antarctic state, not when he was being like this.

"I-I'll eat," she replied. She picked up his cutlery and started eating off his plate.

Their position was a little awkward. Abi never ate this way before, sitting on someone's lap, except when she was a child.
