Never to look back Last weeks of separation or is it?
Grace was settled in comfortably in one of the apartments in the East Wing of the Dupont estate along with Emile. Danos was very efficient; everything that Grace needed was set in the room even before they landed in Paris. Setting into Paris time wasn’t hard as they reached back by late afternoon, and everyone slept through the night and woke up naturally the next day. Emile and Raphael spent the morning finalizing the last few designs before organizing the meeting with Laura, the le couturier, by the end of next week. If everything went according to plan, once the meeting was over, Emile could go back to be with Chris. The next steps didn’t need her to be here. She could liaise with Laura remotely. Her physical presence was only required during the fashion exhibition week. Emile worked as though she was injected with fresh blood. She didn’t feel tired, nor did she feel like she needed a break. Emile felt as though she had met her muse; ideas flowed without any inhibition, all she n

Grace’s curiosity was left unsatisfied as not only couldn’t she see anything from her window, but there was also not even a sound to calm her curiosity. The sound of the car entering the estate seemed to have been a figment of her imagination. Grace sighed wondering if she really imagined the sound of the car as she drew the curtains back and went back to her work. Grace couldn’t be blamed as once the car entered the gates, the view to the winding path down to the front door was obscured by the ornamental pear trees that were lining the path. Neither were there any disturbances at the front door. How could poor Grace know that Danos was waiting at the front door awaiting the arrival of the car that had just entered the estate? It had become routine for them after 3 months; Chris would arrive like clockwork. Everyone silently dispersed to their rooms to catch up on what sleep they could catch up on before the world was lit up again. Chris moved swiftly and quietly as he entered the r

Chris had no idea when he fell asleep amidst his messy thoughts. But regardless of when he slept, waking up along with the first rays of sun had been a habit that was hard to shake off. Although he had woken up long ago, he didn’t feel like leaving the comfort of snuggling with his beloved wife. Emile woke up with a happy smile “Good morning, Hubby.” “Good morning, Love” Chris gave her a quick peck on her lips as he helped her up. “Are these tiny tots behaving?” Chris leaned forward and put his head next to her tummy. “Um” Emile smiled blissfully looking at the man whose whole world revolved around her. Whether it was agreeing with her saying they were well-behaved or whether it was in disdain towards their father’s question, the tiny tots kicked happily. Raphael was waiting for them when they came downstairs for breakfast. Grace knew that Emile wanted to give Chris a surprise and after hearing from Anne that Chris had come over at night, she didn’t come down for breakfast; Instea

The three of them spent all morning getting to know each other all over again. It was only when Dolly came to urge them to eat lunch that they realized that the whole morning had passed. Lunch was eaten quietly with respect to the rules of Dupont estate. What no one realized was that Raphael didn’t really have any rules… it was just that he was alone almost all his life and there was no one to talk to at the dining table. The only people who would talk was the butler or various managers who came around to discuss business. He didn’t want to talk about work during lunch and wanted some peace of mind while eating and would often reprimand them for being noisy during mealtimes. Over time, silence during meals became one of the rules of Dupont estate. After lunch, the three of them went back to the garden parlor to continue discussing what to do next. “Grace, what do you think of delaying your reunion for another week and a half?” Chris asked with a half guilty face. “Let me guess…” G

The weekend passed with the excitement of finding Grace and sweetness of husband-and-wife meeting after being separated for 2 weeks. What Raphael was worried about didn’t come to fruition and finally it was time for Chris to head back. Originally Chris and Emile had planned to fly to Burke residence first and then fly back to Walter home but since they found Grace, they decided to fly straight back. Plans change…. just like life, People who are flexible don’t have to be worried about being prepared because they are conditioned to be prepared. Chris and Emile discussed with Raphael the next steps and what was required once Emile completed the last design. Despite Emile’s strong objections, they decided that Chris would come over next week to take them home. “Son, I am sorry.” Raphael finally opened his mouth after the ladies went upstairs. Grace went upstairs as she called it a day and Emile went upstairs to pack Chris’s stuff as he had to leave in another hour. “Huh?” Chris looked

“But none of this is the reason I came running without propriety.” Sofia had an extremely excited expression. “Um???” Chris lifted his eyebrows. “Boss, the systems have become electronic only since the last 10 years.” Sofia felt it was necessary to give an introduction instead of heading straight for the kill “All the records post that were scanned into the system when the hospital systems became fully electronic.” “Hence the visitor logs, hospital forms or any paperwork completed, regardless of purpose were all scanned into the system.” “Since Night Wing told me about Boss’s conjuncture, I have been diligently reviewing all hospital records and I am glad I did it.” “One of the entries, at the gynecology department although the name is different, the handwriting looked like it was of the same hand as that of the name ‘Val Samm’.” “Are you sure?” Chris sat up in excitement. “I am not a handwriting expert, but it looks like the same hand and hence came to report to see if …….” Sof

“How’s I12 progressing Eva?” Chris asked once everyone left the room. “Beautifully...” Darcy chuckled “I can’t wait to see the bitch’s face when everything unveils.” Darcy: “What’s your plan? How long are you going to keep this on for?” “Not yet…. The higher you fly, the greater the fall.” Chris narrowed his eyes, his lips curled sinisterly “Doesn’t she like to have kids??? Won’t it be disappointing if we don’t give her that opportunity?” “More importantly, I need to have all the evidence… an iron clad case against fraud and identity theft.” Chris tapped his fingers rhythmically on the armrest. “Don’t we have Thomas?” Darcy asked in confusion “Thomas said that he is confident to win the case with his eyes closed with what we have so far…” “No” Chris shook his head “Not eldest brother-in-law. We will be winning the case with a junior intern from eldest brother-in-law’s firm. It will be a case won not by brilliance of the lawyer…. but by the sheer volume of indisputable evidence.”

The rest of the week passed in a flurry of activity. Everyone was swept off their feet; running their personal businesses, pretending that there was nothing out of the normal with their better halves and running errands that had self-assigned after volunteering to help Chris with his investigation. Firstly, Lorenzo executed both the tasks he was delegated to perfection. He didn’t have any trouble sneaking in and out of the hospital with archived data of everything related to the hospital, whether it was surveillance footage, finance or confidential information related to hospital records or clinical trials that were run by the hospital. Sofia had done the legwork making his work effortless. She had provided them with not just access cards but also habits and behaviors of the staff whose access cards they were using. This was especially useful as they could sneak in and out without having to sabotage anyone. Of course, this wasn’t industrial espionage, and they weren’t going to sell o

The rest of Burkes followed suit without waiting for either Chris or Emile to respond; curiosity had gotten the better of them.Little baby was not stupid. How would he dare question little aunt? He looked over nonchalantly before making a gesture with his meaty fingers to indicate payment.“What do you want?” Both Harry and Addison asked in excitement.“I am very rich for the time being, so I will let Leo choose.” Little baby responded with a smug look and passed the honours to Leo.“Take us all on the trip to the Alps when fifth Uncle Walter is taking them.” Leo didn’t have to think as he told Addison what he wanted.Addison agreed without a second thought and walked back into the room the adults were seated, humming a song only to be despised by his mother, which he totally ignored and sat down happily with a thick skin.The fate of the rest of the Burke brothers were similar; no one was spared.

“Where are you going?” Henry teased as he caught the little overlord and hurled him in the air.“Put me down.” Bruno frowned, flailing his legs anxiously “I haven’t finished discussing with little uncle.”Everyone laughed as Henry put Bruno down, who promptly ran to Chris, looked up at him curiously, awaiting his decision.“Hur…hur…hur….” Chris chuckled “How would I dare renegade on a promise to our little overlord?”“Then when can we go?” Bruno asked seriously, taking no offense to the title, to him, this was recognition of his ability.“When we get back and whenever you say the word.” Chris never had any qualms indulging his nephews and nieces.“Where are we going?” Leo asked curiously.Bruno looked towards Chris who shrugged “It’s up to to the owner of the reward to decide, I am just the charioteer.”“Then let’s go to the ocean king’s castle.” Bruno didn’t have to think twice to make a decision.Chris “”Everyone burst out laughing, only the little ones looked curiously at Chris.“I

He was smart enough to decipher big treasure's cryptic message that he could find the answer by testing them himself, after sulking for a while, thinking about big treasure’s words over and over again. He rushed to Chris’s room once again, pulled Big Treasure aside and whispered hurriedly before running away. He then ran off to the apartment where the Burkes where resting. He went over to call Leo and Liam to play with him in the backyard with a crafty look in his eyes. All the Burke kids followed Leo and Liam to play, the main intent for the older kids following them was to keep them safe.He turned around to look at Leo with a guilty look in his eyes as he asked cautiously, “Would you stop talking to me if you find out that I landed you in trouble to test you?”“Why do you want to test me?” Leo demanded with a frown.“Because it is very important to me.” Bruno blinked his eyes, lowering his gaze as he whispered, “Like life and death situation that grown-ups talk about.”“Well, in tha

After the excitement died down, everyone decided to go out, sight-seeing, like proper tourists. Adam invited his friends who politely stayed back at the hotel sensing that Adam and the rest had family matters to sort out, to join the group. Just like that, the Burkes, Walters, Adam’s three friends, the two masters, Chris’s senior brother, Bai-Min and Lai-Li set off on their wild-life adventure, that they had booked with one of the tour groups. It goes without saying that the group included Adrian and his little family and Neil who dragged Chiara along with him. What was unexpected was that Emm pulled Amy, Abbey’s assistant to tag along with them. Luckily for Amy, she had Beth who got dragged into the family outing by Marcus to keep her company. Her boss had ditched her without a conscience the minute her ‘knight in shining armour’ appeared. On their return trip, even though they were all chatting, what attracted everyone’s attention was little treasure’s soft cute voice “Daddy, is it

The next morning, everyone was in high spirits without even a trace of the anxiety that passed through; although they were still waiting for an explanation, a closure to whole saga. The breakfast table was lively and cheerful. “Son, tell me is Emile really pregnant?” Elizabeth couldn’t hold herself back anymore. She asked once everyone had settled in the lounge area to relax after breakfast. “Um” Chris nodded although he was displeased inwardly; he wondered if his mother had truly changed or whether she was about to revert to her old ways. “Tell us how you know what was wrong with Little aunt.” Miles piped in from the background, turning everyone’s attention towards big treasure and little treasure, after being signalled by Marcus. He didn’t know why eldest brother wanted him to divert the topic, but he still obeyed. He didn’t always have to know the reason; eldest brother was in charge; he would follow whatever eldest brother asked him to do. “Daddy was too lost. We knew we had to

Outside the room, Chris Jnr finally managed to coax little treasure and sighed in relief. There was nothing he could do about it, his little ears and heart hurt from listening to little treasure’s wails. He would compensate his little brother in other ways. “How is your mommy?” Chris asked once little treasure had been coaxed. “She is fine.” Chris Jnr thought for a minute before answering; his mommy looked fine, she was sleeping peacefully. He leaned forward, close to Chris, gesturing little treasure to come close and whispered with a soft voice “Daddy, I touched a dragon.” “A what?” Little treasure’s eyes widened, surprise mixed with disbelief, reflecting in those adorable eyes. “Um” Chris Jnr nodded with all seriousness in affirmation to little treasure but not before he gestured little treasure to be quiet. “Daddy, are dragons real?” Little treasure leaned even closer as she whispered. “Maybe…” Chris shrugged before closing his eyes and mind linking with the two treasures “Da

“Jnr might be a good option.” Chris’s master slowly opened his mouth once he finished sifting everyone’s faces through his mind.Hua Yueren lifted his eyebrows questioningly.“He has been around her while she was away. 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 h

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.
