One Night With The Billionaire

Chapter 29: Is this a Palace?



At that moment, Jace Hudson was stepping his feet into the vast compound of the Hudson’s family house. He had told his parents that he was coming over for dinner.

He had told his parents over the phone that he was not ready for any arranged marriage or blind date they were trying to shove down his throat.

But to make everything clear, he would come over for dinner and express his disapproval of it. They shouldn’t give the poor lady and her family a false hope.

He was dressed in a plain shirt and pants exactly as his son, Eli. The boy is a spitting image of his father. Jace ensures whatever he orders henceforth, must come in his and Eli’s sizes.

Eli’s hair cut was same as his father. As they stepped out of the car, he lifted him off the floor into his arms. Hecsaw the look of puzzle on the boy’s face.

“Dad, is this a palace?” Eli asked. Such a big house with plenty of men and women in uniform. There were lights everywhere and the place was glittering like a palace.

Whenever he watches Barbie dolls or cartoons, such big beautiful houses are where the king or queen lives. Oh gosh! His daddy has brought him to a paradise.

“No son. This is your grandparents house. It’s not a palace but you can choose to call it that, if you want” Jace explained and kissed his chubby cheeks.

Eli nodded and the steward gazed at Eli. The eldest master has a son? All the servants and stewards at the moment when Jace arrived fixed their gaze on Eli while bowing slightly before the eldest master.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“Welcome eldest and youngest master” a steward said and pushed the door open. He was obviously paying homage to Jace and Eli Hudson.

Jace nodded and walked in. His aloof attitude is such that many people who have come in contact with him know. He rarely talks nor smiles except when he’s with his immediate family.

As Jace stepped in, he was greeted with his father’s gaze. The old man was going to look away from his son who just walked in when he caught sight of the young fellow.

Jace Hudson simply placed him on his feet. Eli looked around. He completely forgot himself as he gasped in shock at the beautiful sitting room.

As if that was not enough, Jace held him into the main sitting room where his father stood. Eli stood transfixed at a point. He looked up at the golden chandelier and the lights fixed on the ceiling.

The floor and the exquisite sofa. He was looking around until Jace said “say hello to grandfather”. Eli turned and glanced at his father and at Henry.

The latter was surprised at the little boy. His lips hived a smile. The joy and the gush of love from Henry flooded his heart. He went to the boy, before he could even open his mouth to say hello and lifted him off his feet.

“My son,” he said and kissed him. He knew at once that Eli was his. He remembered the boy on social media the other day and the one he stumbled upon at the beach.

“Oh my days!” Amelia exclaimed as she came over and took Eli off Henry’s arms. She kissed him and ran her hand over his hair. She took a seat and carried him on his thighs.

“I told you there’s a member of this family you haven’t met yet. Here he is, Eli Hudson” Chase chimed, placing a slice of apple pie in his mouth.

He wanted to leave but his mom told him to wait. Since his brother was coming over for dinner, it would be nice if the family could have dinner together.

“You are right, Chase. He’s so cute” Amelia declared and kissed him again. “He takes after me” Chase added and Jace eyed him.

“He is the boy on the internet. He is Chase’s son, right?” Amelia asked, glancing at her younger son. Henry Hudson squinted and glanced at Jace instead.

“He is more like Jace. Whose son is he?” He asked as well. The two brothers exchanged glances. They haven’t answered when Eli asked “Are you my grandma?”

Amelia felt a million dollar smile crossed her lips. She’s become a grandmother now. She had wondered when her boys were going to give her a son.

“Yes, honey. I am your grandma” Amelia answered and kissed his temple. “And I am your grandfather. You should introduce me to him as his grandfather as well” Henry said, glancing at his wife.

“He must recognise me as his grandma first before meeting you as his grandfather” Amelia teased. She was happy, her excitement knew no bounds.

“Oh gosh, Amelia. He was my grandson first before he became your grandson. Can’t you see that he looked like me the most?” Henry said and took Eli away from his wife.

Everyone smiled at the grandparents arguing. Jace stood at the same spot since he got into the sitting room and exchanged glances with his brother and they both smiled when they saw their dad led Eli towards the dinning.

“Dinner, boys’ ‘ Amelia declared. They got to the dinner and while everyone was having their dishes served by the servant, Amelia was picking dishes for her grandson.

“You need a nutritious meal to grow well” Amelia commented. The boy was looking good already. She wants him to look better in any way possible.

Eli was soon full. Amelia ordered a dessert for him and the boy said “Daddy, I want to pee” glancing at Jace.

Daddy? Amelia glanced at Jace.
