"So, what are you going to do now?" Tyler's eyes flickered on the two people– Mason and then Jessica sitting right in front of him.
He still remembered what happened two days ago. When he arrived at Mason's room, he saw what he should not have seen, and heard what should not have heard.
"Y-you b-both.." He tried to say something, his index finger shook with fear and disbelief. At that moment, only the scary face of Major Miller came to his mind.
"Yes," Mason, without an ounce of shame, grinned and pulled Jessica closer to him with his hands attached to her waist and eyes gazing deeply into hers, "we are, aren't we, my Queen?"
Jessica wanted to rebuke him as she detached herself from his hold, but frowned when her mouth did not comply with her wishes, "..."
Moreover, he had great strength.
"Come on, I didn't bite you that hard!" Mason w
"Listen.." Tyler started. "What?" "If my intuition is correct, Young Miss' behaviour seems more distant lately with everyone ever since her talk with the teacher. She hasn't visited once." Mason snorted, "With you, she will always be distant. But with me, she can never stay like this. There must be something disturbing her." "...Yeah, I was just getting there." Mason did not need to tell him that. He could see it with his own eyes that Jessica cared for this dog food feeder- Ahem, for this foolish genius who seemed like a numbskull at first, but he only became that when Jessica Miller was around. As for the Young Miss, she did not want to admit it. During the time Tyler spent with Mason, he got to know many of the inventions Mason did. The more he knew, the more he was amazed. He had a lot of knowledge to talk to. &
"Elian?" Zaria knocked on the door, "Can I come in?""The door's open." His voice came and Zaria took the lead to enter the room.She smiled as she saw him moving aside the papers that were of no use.From a young age, Elian had invariably been a person full of discipline and morals. He did not like things that were messy or something which did not fit in a place. Zaria observed that this compartment truly had a touch of Elian. Everything seemed perfectly casual at a brief look, yet not ordinary.Upon coming closer, he finally came into her view.'Elian looks so handsome today!''Not that he isn't every day, but exceptionally so handsome this day.' Her eyes first set on his serious face and then went to his strong, bulging arm. His sleeves were rolled up, giving her a perfect dream to see for days to sleep at night. 'My husband. Ah, I'm so lucky!' She blushed. 'He only belongs to me.'"Did you need something?" Elian eventually raised his head, making her break out of her reverie. Ag
"Wow, so you mean you're going to be taking cases on your own!?" Ria's mouth was gaped open."Yeah, my senior associate told me that I am ready to handle a case now," Sofia smirked, remembering the time her senior associate shook his head and informed her helplessly."I'm so happy for you!""Thanks, so.. enough about me and let's come to you." Sofia leaned forward, making Zaria freak out internally."How was it?" She glanced around sneakily, her nosiness as high as the peak of Mount Himalaya as she stared at Zaria with a lawyer's vision."What?""You know what I'm talking about, Princess.""No, I don't." Ria instantly put up a defensive barrier around her."Yes, you do. Come on, spill the beans!""I still don't get you." Zaria crossed her arms forming an 'X', not saying anything.
"Ria..." Nanny Mary looked at her, concerned."It's nothing. I should verify with mom and dad first." Zaria smiled lightly, though her heart heavy with uneasiness."Child, how are you? Is something the matter?"Madam Anderson was surprised when she received a call from Zaria. Nevertheless, she was happy because she had heard the very good news yesterday.'I can't wait to hold my grandchildren.'"Mom, ...I'm fine?" Zaria nervously clenched the cell phone in her hand, her voice filled with apprehension as well as her answer came out to be a rather question instead.Madam Anderson's glee expressions changed."What happened, dear?? Why do you sound so anxious?"? Master Anderson, who had just come to sit with his wife, heard this and turned to his wife questionably wondering what had happened."Is Elian there with you...? He h
"Why isn't she waking up?" Madam Anderson was sitting on the edge of the bed. She was as nervous and afraid as ever as she clasped Zaria's hand."Maybe this is because Young Madam Ria didn't have dinner last night. She told me she didn't have an appetite and that she would cook for herself and Young Master. I shouldn't have listened to her." Nanny Mary felt remorse when she gazed at Ria who still had not gained consciousness.It was so scary when Zaria passed out so abruptly. It reminded her of Mia Anderson who collapsed some months ago and dreadful news of her having a brain tumour was heard, spreading agony in the hearts of people."It's okay, Nanny Mary. You don't need to blame yourself." Madam Anderson responded and turned to Master Anderson, "Darling, should we call a doctor? I can't bear to see my princess like this."Just when Master Anderson was about to say something,
"What are afraid of? Major will not kill him." Parker tried to convince Tyler. In Mason's absence, Tyler had told the situation to Parker. There was only one reason behind it.His straight man pride was hurt."Heh, who knows that we might be called to pick up his corpse later.""Whose corpse?" A voice came from their behind.Jumping from their seats, Tyler and Parker both answered, "No one's!"Jessica Miller watched them without batting an eyelash. She knew what they were talking about. She just wanted to confirm it."We were just playing around. Please believe us!""Yes, yes! We were really playing around.""...""Where is he?" She looked around. Her eyes wandered through each and every corner of the room."W-Who?" The men decided to play dumb as they fiddled with
Shut. He gently closed the door.Mason was still smiling when a running Jessica Miller met him outside the Major's room. She looked like she had covered a huge distance coming to him."You... did something happen when you were there?"Mason did not answer and kept staring at her. After a minute passed, he smiled widely and launched himself at Jessica who pushed his face away."You care for me! You do care for me!"Mason did not care about anything now. What world? His wife was enough."Shut up. Did my father do anything to you?" Her eyes were sharp, but a tint of concern could be seen in her flustered face as she kept analysing him from head to toe. "We just had some men talk," Mason scratched his neck, his eyes showing playfulness. "You don't...""Jess, you need to relax. Our father isn't some monster." Mason grabbed Jessica's shoulders. "He's my father." Jessica rectified him. "In no time, he will be mine, too." Mason playfully winked at her. "Let's go." It was no use fighting
"Hello, my little friends." Zaria Smith smiled as she approached her flowers in her lovely garden and started watering them.Who would have thought that the girl who could not live peacefully without seeing her flowers for even one day, would see her little babies after so long?'It has been a long time.' "We told the gardener to water them daily, so you don't need to worry about these." Hearing Madam Anderson's word, Zaria turned around and brightly smiled. "They are being gently taken care of.""Thank you so much, mom." "It's okay, dear. You don't need to thank me. We all are aware of how much these flowers are important to you." Zaria and her mother-in-law were walking in the garden with light steps when Madam Anderson abruptly stopped, "Ria, I'm not trying to be meddlesome, I just want to know that is there something terrible happening between you two which John and I don't know of?"Zaria bit her lips. She knew who was her mother-in-law referring. "I know it is between you,
