Naturally, the apparition although only a figment of Azure’s consciousness, it will still be sharp enough to sense a friend from a foe. Also, since he is her biological son, his spirit must have a lingering smell of her essence.”Hua Yueren nodded; he didn’t have any better solution. They would re-think their plans if this one backfired.Chris’s master transmitted his message to Spector who promptly brought Chris in, in his usual manner of teleportation.Chris Jnr greeted the two masters and stood straight, neither servile nor overbearing, quietly waiting instructions; his demeanour brought a glint of admiration to the eyes for both men.“Son, can you see the apparition surrounding your mother?” Chris’s master knelt beside Chris Jnr so that he could level his gaze with
Emile felt a bit anxious as she entered the room with Chris’s and Neil’s masters. Although she knew them, she wasn’t very familiar with them. She looked towards Lai-Li with an anxious gaze; Lai- Li was the only person in the group whom she knew a little better.“It will be alright.” Lai-Li comforted in a gentle voice as she saw Emile’s gaze resting on her uncomfortably.“Master Walter’s mood might get agitated and that won’t help us.” She explained patiently as she saw that the concern in Emile’s gaze hadn’t dispersed. “Neil is not used to our world, and he will be in a daze and that will not help our cause as we will need to be quick.”Although Emile didn’t fully understand, she nodded. She had seen Chris do unbelievable things before, stuff that couldn’t be explained by logic and science alone.“It will be quick. Everything will be back to normal as soon as you wake up.” Lai-Li coaxed gently as she patted her hands while Emile’s lids gradually grew heavier and finally, she closed her
“Daddy, little treasure is here.” Emm tugged Chris’s pants with grievance. She had been waiting patiently for daddy to coax little baby and carry her, but little baby had no intention of coming down.“Daddy’s little treasure is the most understanding treasure in the world.” Chris smiled as he knelt and carried Emm along with Bruno and headed to wait in front of the door.“Little brother, let me…” Darcy stepped forward extending his hands towards Chris with a sheepish smile. He wondered if he really was not cut out to be a good father; he was happily standing watching the drama unfold when Grace nudged him with a reproachful glare as she gestured with her eyes towards Bruno.“It’s okay.” Chris chuckled looking at Darcy’s embarrassment before turning his doting gaze towards his little treasure and then Bruno.Neither looked at him as they were both looking at the closed door with similar anxious expressions although the cause of their anxiety was different. Little baby’s world only had B
“What did you say?”“Daddy, don’t be stressed.” Big treasure winked towards little treasure as he coaxed in a soft voice “Daddy, Big treasure has been taking care of empress since he went over, before that…” He sighed in relief in an adult like tone “Luckily the empress’s brain was working before I got there…hehe…. hehe…” He laughed trying to ease his daddy’s anxiety “So, our sibling must be fine.” Both big treasure and little treasure nodded at the same time with a sincere face; little treasure had no idea what big treasure was talking about, but she too nodded in all seriousness, looking at the anxiousness in her daddy’s eyes, all she wanted to do was comfort him.“Chris, son what is big treasure talking about?” Elizabeth asked anxiously unable to make heads or tails out of the conversation.Chris turned around to look at who was closest to him; he stuffed little treasure into Marcus’s and big treasure into Night Wing’s hands before rushing to the door. He knew how dangerous it was f
“Tell me, how did you entangle the mess?” Raphael asked once everyone settled after dinner. Everyone turned their curious gaze towards Chris as this was the thought reverberating in their heads from the moment they heard about the wedding.Everyone in the room were prevue to the inside story; they all knew about Emile rekindling her affection for Daniel and denouncing Chris although they didn’t know the details. Even the kids turned their attention curiously towards Chris.“I cannot take credit for this one.” Chris scratched the back of his head with a sheepish smile. “This time, the credit belongs to my kids.”“Them???” Harry’s eyes widened in disbelief as he pointed towards Big treasure and Little treasure.“Me included.” Marcus sidestepped taking a step closer to the treasures, bringing himself in the frame together with them “Little uncle said his kids… that includes me.” He added defiantly as everyone started laughing at his comical actions of sidestepping to bring himself within
“Yeah… why is only little baby getting a reward?” Marcus stretched his legs, skating towards Chris, leaving Beth who was rolling her eyes at Marcus who was competing with a 1-inch dwarf for attention, leaving her far behind in a heartbeat. Chris didn’t answer but lifted his eyebrows in an expression that meant ‘go figure’. “I could have gotten them out, but I knew their principle and didn’t interfere.” Marcus shrugged as an afterthought “Actually I knew they could have escaped if they wanted without my help.” “Right… and where were you?” Chris asked with a chuckle as he gently tapped his forehead, although the questioning didn’t have even the slightest hint of denunciation, it did not excuse him of his accountability. Marcus scratched the back of his head with a sheepish smile as he pointed towards the sofa that he was having a sweet time with Beth. He twisted his lips as he thought of the deeper meaning behind the question; he knew his little uncle would never ask such a question
“Ha…ha…ha….” Emile burst out laughing as soon as she entered the main lounge, forgetting all her resentment towards the injustice of bullying her son. The scene that entered her eyes was too comical to say the least.Chris Jnr, Bruno and Emm were sitting in the middle with the Burke brothers guarding around them in a tight circle. The Walter siblings were in the outer ring neither guarding nor helping; the only exception was Marcus who was sitting on the couch chatting with Beth in a leisurely manner. What was comical about the entire scene was Bruno who looked like a red puffer fish, unable to swallow his grievance of failure.Emm wasn’t happy either, but she just sat with her lips puckered, enduring, unlike Bruno who had obviously given up listening to Chris Jnr and was yet jumping up and down, protesting against the injustice he was subjected to.“Daddy…” Both Chris Jnr and Emm jumped up on hearing Emile’s voice. They knew that if mommy was here, Daddy would always follow.No one kn
Chris and Emile didn’t have any difficulty sneaking out from under the watchful eyes of the press nor the guests…they had a genius son who had mapped everything to the dot for making their most important day picture perfect. It was so magical that both, Chris and Emile were afraid that it was a dream, and reality would kick in once they woke up; Both had to agree that it was better than what either of them could have imagined even in their wildest dreams.As they sat in the getaway car, Emile kept pinching Chris and asking him “Hubby, does it hurt?” while Chris kept answering “Wife, I am too excited to feel pain.” His answer wasn’t helping but there was nothing anyone could do, no one could understand their mental state unless they had been in the same situation.Once the excitement calmed down, Emile rested in Chris’s embrace with a blissful smile, her mind unwinding, relishing the mad rush or rather excitement from yesterday evening till the moment she saw Chris climbing into the bas
“I know you are married…” the man who answered previously spoke once again, the helplessness in his voice reverberating through the hall “but I have never seen you with Mrs Walter and I have always seen you with Ms Bell, who was your companion for banquets and social dinners. I have no reason to doubt your words when you introduced her this morning although it did seem a bit redundant.” He shrugged opening his palms upward.“No… no….no… this is all wrong…” Daniel shook his head in disbelief as he took a step back.“How can it be wrong?” Chris Jnr’s stern voice rang through the hall, loud and clear, filled with rage “Didn’t you like playing mind games?”“Can you not take it when you are on the receiving end?” Emm too asked in righteous anger; her mommy forgot her for 2 whole months.“You…. you bastard… you stole my wife…” Daniel roared without registering what Chris Jnr and Emm said and lunged towards Chris, who was standing with a relatively calm expression, although his brows were sli
Emile sat by the windowsill hugging her knees and looking at the endless night with a desolate expression trying to filter out the annoying sounds coming from the master bedroom. She let out a soft sigh thought about her miserable existence. Eight years of infatuated love and 3 years of marriage with absolute devotion left her with nothing but endless shame and an empty house. In the three years of marriage, there was not a day that the newspapers and entertainment world did not have a news of the colorful scandals for her husband. Emile rested her chin on her knees as she thought back to the folly of her youth. She met Daniel during her first year of university at a gathering of family friends. If at first, she was mesmerized by his handsome face and his domineering aura, later she fell in love with his brilliance and character. Emile was an outstanding bubbly and beautiful girl. She was the goddess in the hearts of almost all the young men at her university, but she had eyes only ...
