“I was thinking out loud about the credibility of the news….” Daniel pursed his lips as he came up with what he thought was a plausible explanation “Considering we were college mates, and our families have collaborated on several projects and yet we were not invited.”“Che!!!” Chris Jnr sneered as he looked at Daniel with disdain “Do you think the legal team of the Walter enterprise is a joke?”“Libel is a serious offense.” Chris Jnr continued with his lips curled lopsidedly in disdain “I don’t think this outlet has money to burn nor the guts to gamble by slandering my….” “Why does a little kid like you have so much to say?” Daniel interrupted Christian, preventing him from completing his sentence and digging a hole for him. He truly regretted his decision to bring this brat back.Chris Jnr shrugged nonchalantly, no longer inclined to complete what he said.“You are right. Why were we not invited?” Emile didn’t want the topic to die down. She wanted to see if she could pick some cues
Chris Jnr was setting up his gadgets to contact little treasure when Night Sonic announced that he had taken care of everything. Chris Jnr nodded in acknowledgement as he continued to fidget with his gadgets.‘Duk…duk…duk…’ A soft knock was heard a few minutes later at Chris Jnr’s door.Chris Jnr’s lips curled up in a knowing smirk as he carelessly placed a sheet over his bed, covering his gadgets, and walked over to open the door.“Aren’t you tired? Shouldn’t you be sleeping?” Chris Jnr quirked his eyebrows wanting to taunt, however his lips curled down guiltily as he saw his mommy’s red eyes.“Do you have a way to contact your daddy?” Emile quickly entered and closed the door as she didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble; she didn’t know if Daniel was still awake or if their voice would attract unnecessary attention.Chris Jnr pursed his lips stubbornly toying with the idea of whether he wanted to pay back his daddy’s grievance or succumb to mommy’s sorry state. However, he gave u
“Hubby, you…. aren’t you getting married to someone else?” Emile asked cautiously in a low voice; no matter how cautious she was, she couldn’t hide the hope in her heart…which transmitted as an excited relief through her voice. “Wife, I have told you before…I, Christopher Walter will only marry once and my wife can only be Emile Burke…” Chris assured patiently, his voice carrying a promise…. an oath of a lifetime… “Hubby….” Emile called out in a soft voice, her lips curling up in a sweet smile, brightening her entire aura; all her grievance melted with his promise…she knew her husband never spoke for verbality. “Um” Chris hummed in a low coaxing voice; his aura too brightened, dissipating the cold, gloomy aura around him…. a simple address from her, calmed his restless soul like magic. At this moment, silence entwined with each other’s calm breathing, seemed to be healing the undue grievance suffered by the two souls who loved each other deeply. “Hubby….” Emile called again, her v
“Yes…. I don’t think either of us will have a choice when those two scheme together.” Chris’s lips curled up; his eyes narrowed with curiosity.Although he was eager to know what his treasures had in store for them, he didn’t look into it as he didn’t want to deprive them of the joy, the joy they got from seeing their expressions towards the element of surprise that his treasures had planned. This reunion was fully to their credit although he didn’t know how they managed; this indulgence was what they deserved.“You mean ….” Emile raised her head curiously to look up at Chris “You mean, the two are plotting?”“How else could you explain me missing my tail?” Chris chuckled “and giving me the luxury to come and find you on my own?”Emile giggled as she leaned comfortably into Chris’s embrace.“Wife, what happened?” Chris asked once they settled comfortably in each other’s embrace.“I am not sure…” Emile paused as she bit her lower lip hesitating before raising her head to look into Chris
“I…. what???” Emile’s voice rose a notch as she lifted her head to look at Chris in shock. She shook her head in denial as she lowered her eyes taking stock of every conversation with Daniel; she muttered in disbelief even before her brain finished processing her thoughts “In my memory, our re-acquaintance did not exist, let alone marriage…. Then how can I ask for a divorce?”“I believe you…. you might not have asked.” Chris coaxed patiently as he gently massaged her back to calm her emotions.“Hubby, I am truly sorry….” Emile buried her face coquettishly in his chest, as she muttered “I cannot even imagine the pain it caused you…. I am so sorry…”“It is not your fault. I am to be blamed if you have to blame someone…. It is my fault I believed that lunatic.” Chris pacified gently, without feeling tired or agitated even though he was repeatedly saying the same thing.“The only reason I believed him was because my brain was not functioning properly; I couldn’t see through his stupid sche
Chris Jnr locked his door soon after Emile ran out of his room with the phone and climbed back onto his bed and dialed little treasure. He knew he would have to wait for a while since they hadn’t made an appointment but contrary to his expectation little treasure picked up the call even before it could ring.“Big brother….”Chris Jnr pursed his lips into a pout; Little treasure rarely called him big brother…. Not unless she had encountered some sort of grievance….“Big brother is here…” Chris Jnr softened his voice, like he had seen his daddy do when he was comforting them “What’s wrong with little treasure? Is eldest brother not there?” He knew that with eldest brother near her, there was no way she would suffer any grievance.“Little treasure is fine…” Emm pouted as she tried to hold on to her grievance. She was fine, just that she missed her brother too much… they had never been separated and that too for this long.“He’s here.” Marcus responded at the same time as Emm.“What’s wron
“You two….” Marcus looked from one treasure to the other in disbelief, holding a wedding was a huge thing, he wanted to dissuade them, but he knew that twin look; A hundred wild horses wouldn’t be able to hold them back…. What could this poor eldest brother do other than support them?“Tell me what to do...” Marcus slouched down, sighing with a resigned expression; since he couldn’t talk them out of it, he might as well support them all the way and face the music later. Little uncle might be disappointed with him for not being sensible and mature enough to guide the duo in the right direction but at least he could be a good eldest brother.“I have given the task of selecting the wedding planner from the three wedding planners I have shortlisted to Uncle Night Vigil.” Chris Jnr fiddled with his fingers as he lowered his head and raised his eyes to look guiltily at eldest brother and little treasure. He didn’t ask for their opinion before he decided to act and didn’t know if they would f
“What is it?” Marcus and Chris Jnr asked in unison, with the same helpless expression.“Choose the venue as the same place that daddy and mommy confessed in Mossel Bay.” Emm answered bubbling with excitement.“If it where they confessed, then we have to do it in several hundred feet above ground.” Chris Jnr rolled his eyes with feigned disdain even though he liked the idea.Emm pouted before raising her chin defiantly “Anyway that would have a special meaning to both daddy and mommy.”“Okay…. okay…. little treasure is right… big treasure was only teasing you.” Chris Jnr quickly decided to plead guilty before the little empress decided to throw a tantrum.“We could do it in the vineyard that our family owns.” Marcus suggested as he agreed with little treasure.Chris Jnr’s eyes kept rolling as little treasure’s idea started to get fixated in his head “Let’s see what the wedding planners can come up with.”“But that will mean more work for both of you.” Chris Jnr added with a thoughtful e
“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. 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
