He walked out of the bathroom, he didn't find Lia there, and went outside towards Nyla's room where Lia was going to set up their dinner together.
When Rio entered His second wife's room, he only saw Lia and Yami who were present there.
The new circular dining table was placed on the opposite wall from the bedside in the spacious room surrounded by warm candlelight and the soft glow of moonlight that was coming from the opened window.
There were four comfy chairs that were placed around the table, on one of them Lia was already sitting.
The scent of freshly cooked food filled the air as he saw the chief maid arranging the bowls, spoons, and plates for them from the moving cart. She looked up to see the boy who entered the room, hearing the footsteps.
When The white-haired beauty noticed Rio had come, She patted the chair beside her and invited him with her scarlet eyes to sit.
The boy gladly went and took the chair beside her as he saw Yami was done with her task and turned around to walk out of the room.
"Nyla and Helia would come soon, let's wait for them," Lia told him, as the girls weren't back from their bath yet.
It was understandable as the girls required more time to get ready and they wanted to look as clean as possible especially when there was a boy among them on whom they wanted to make a good impression.
Rio didn't have to wait long, the door to the bathroom opened as the magenta-haired girl with a white towel wrapped around her head came out.
She was wearing a white night dress as she flashed a bright smile to the duo, especially her eyes lit up seeing Rio.
She went to the dressing table to fix her hair, saying "Give me two minutes, and I will join."
The girl didn't look messy or soiled anymore, her creamy white skin was tantalizing to the eyes. There was a happy expression on her adorable face that was earlier lost due to her suffering in the desert. A good bath refreshed her again and made her feel better to bring her lively face to shine once again.
Although she was feeling tired but she was at home so it was a lot better than living in the scorching hot desert.
"Take your time, Nyla. We are also waiting for Helia." Lia said as the lioness had yet to come.
Rio started telling her about the story that happened in the Fiery Southern Desert. He told her how they were sent to the desert and how the troublesome sandstorm made their condition worse.
He also mentioned how Nyla wanted to go save Helia and he held her otherwise they both would've gotten injured.
Just as he was going to tell her about the oasis, they heard footsteps approaching.
Rio turned around and noticed that the lioness was entering the room. She was wearing her night pajama and a gray top with full sleeves.
She had a relaxed face and looked ravishing after taking a good bath, her hair was already in a ponytail and a blue Scrunchies band was tied at the end of it.
"Here, Helia." The white-haired beauty indicated her to take the seat beside her which was on the opposite side of Rio and caused Lia to be in the middle of them.
The lioness sat beside her as she gave a peek at the boy who was also looking at her. The girl avoided his gaze as soon as their eyes met and started looking toward Nyla.
Just then the lively girl finished doing her hair and said, "Yeee... I'm done."
She turned around with a vibrant smile and galloped to sit on the only left seat that was beside Rio and Helia as they were sitting in a circular arrangement around the round table.
As they were all sitting, it was time to eat but before that one person needed to serve them.
"You guys stay, I will serve," Lia said with a gentle smile and was going to rise to her feet but she felt a firm hand placed above her.
"You sit comfortably, Let me serve you all today." Rio's calm voice sounded, as he volunteered to do the catering task.
The white-haired beauty wanted to protest but she stopped in her track seeing how willing he was.
Rio stood up from his seat, and took the bowl to come beside Lia as he said with a pleasant voice, "Here Wifey, A nice hot bowl of stew, rice, and cinnamon rolls."
Putting the dishes on her plate, he walked around the table to go for the next member.
He stopped beside Helia and put the content from the bowl into her plate as he said, "Eat well Lioness, so later you can have sufficient energy to bicker with me. Right now your face looks as if the royal family didn't give you enough food to eat and let you starve for many days."
Rio said as his voice filled with sarcasm and amusement but Helia didn't retaliate like the last time as she simply kept her calm and let him tease her to his heart's content.
The boy moved to serve his second wife and spoke, "Here for the insanely crazy wife of mine."
The environment was lively as the man was serving his beautiful girls and sister-in-law, The magenta-haired beauty didn't mind what Rio called her.
As the boy was done placing food on her plate, Nyla said with a vibrant smile, "Aren't we lucky, Big Sis? Our dear husband is serving us food. Normally a man won't be so generous to do this task for anyone and only want his wife to do all the house chores."
