“You what???” Emile turned to look at Chris in shock. Chris’s face that had already turned ashen from Simon revealing his dark secret turned further pale on seeing the shock his wife’s face which was slowly turning white in addition to her already pale face. He had forgotten about this bunch when he took care of his good friends yesterday. “Your husband is too good.” Addison’s lips curled up, seeing the normally unshakeable young tycoon squirm. “He even gave Dr Livingston a run for his money. The nurses were saying that he lost his head and ran out of the operation theatre.” He didn’t hesitate to muddy the waters further, not realizing his dear sister’s face was turning paler with his indulgence. “Do you know that if First brother had not wanted to settle score with him, he would …..” Half way through his sentence, Henry slapped the back of his head stopping him from continuing “No one will think you are mute if you keep quiet.” “Aaaa….” Addison rubbed the back of his head as he l

“How can there be a party without the star?” Darcy laughed as moved to the side to give Neil access to the patients. Neil pretended to check on Chris and Emile before turning face everyone with an apologetic expression. He was getting ready to chase everyone out. However, Elizabeth interrupted his mental build up. “Son, how much longer are you going to ignore mom?” Elizabeth couldn’t bear it any longer; it was as if she didn’t exist in the room. Chris didn’t even look at her, not even once. He had acknowledged everyone else in the room, even the Burkes. “Son, mom was muddle-headed for a moment, she would never knowingly hurt you…” Elizabeth choked as she stepped forward to move closer to Chris. “Heh! Muddleheaded…” Chris snorted as he turned his head, his eyes blazing with anger. “Son…..” Elizabeth was shocked by the hatred she saw in her own son’s eyes even if it was only for a second, a second that his gaze flitted past her. “How long are you going to use the excuse of muddle-h

Elizabeth cried miserably all the way through the hospital corridor to the car. She leaned on Adam as she sobbed “Hubby …. My son….. he hates me…… Hubby, I really didn’t think that ……. I didn’t think….. my son….. he hates me…. Why would I need to live now? Oh…..oh…..” Elizabeth kept blabbering in between her sobs making all the Walters feel uncomfortable. Their little brother wasn’t wrong, but seeing mom in this state was unbearable. Luckily, they didn’t have to endure long, they had reached the car park and split up as their destinations were different. “Dad, I need to go to the company and the ladies have a catch up planned so I will send the kids home with the driver.” Mark spoke once they reached the car park. “Dad, mine too.” Veronica chimed in as she turned to Mark “Big brother, can you drop me and Peter off on your way.” Mark shrugged with a head nod. Soon, it was agreed that the kids were going to their grandparents’ place as the siblings had somewhere to had to be. Emile

“Little brother is right.” Mark opened his mouth once again as he reached the car park “Our tolerance cannot be the measure to harm us even if it is our loved ones.” “I was thinking about it as I walked back” Mark continued “All of us felt compelled to plead with little brother not to be heartless because we saw mom’s pain from his words and actions but none of us saw his pain. Probably we would never understand.” Mark sighed. “Other than second brother, none of us have actually suffered the blow he has.” Mark shook his head “I tried to see from his point of view while I was coming down with you all….” Mark paused as he lowered his head guiltily “Even the thought made me want to cut all ties and never look back….” “It hurt over here ….” Mark rubbed his chest “hurt so terribly that it was difficult to breathe…. I cannot think what little brother went through.” No one spoke as they mulled over Mark words. It made sense, none of them had actually experienced the pain from mom’s underh

The next morning Emile woke up in good spirts although she was still weak physically, everything else was progressing well. She looked at the two babies who were sleeping between her and Chris. The strange thing was both babies seemed to be more attached to Chris than her. She looked at the duo that were curled in his arms with a satisfied smile although a strange pang of loss flashed past her eyes. ‘Oh, how she wished they were his!’ But the past was not something that could be undone. “What are you thinking about?” It was the loss that flashed past her eyes that caught Chris’s eyes the moment he woke up. He didn’t know why but he felt a dull ache in his heart as blurted out the question, the answer to which he didn’t want to hear. “I was wishing that I could undo the past. That way I wouldn’t be as stupid as I was in the past and they would truly be yours…...ours.” Emile blurted in a daze without realizing. In her defence, she hadn’t truly woken up. She was still swimming in the s

Burkes stayed for the rest of the evening before going back. Of course, Emile wasn’t the centre of their focus as always…. Sadly, even though she complained several times, other than the babies, they didn’t have anyone else in their eyes giving Chris a chance to show off his steadfast love for her and score several times in front of Emile. Burkes felt it was very strange that none of the Walters showed up but decided to ignore the elephant in their hearts until Harry couldn’t hold it in anymore. “Brother-in-law, why didn’t your family come to visit?” Harry hooked his eyebrows before asking in a teasing tone “Weren’t you siblings especially close?” “They are busy. I told them not to disturb my peace.” Chris shrugged without taking any offense. “Third brother, you are being rude.” Emile pouted before telling everyone how Chris’s siblings decided to stay away from home till everything quietened down so that they would not be forced to act as mediators. “Well done.” Matthias laughed a

Following Adam’s heart to heart with Elizabeth, she didn’t insist on going to the hospital and decided to listen to her husband to give the children time and space to heal. Without Elizabeth's theatrics, Chris and Emile had the peace of mind to slowly take care of themselves and the babies under the indulgence and pampering of the Burkes and Grandpa Holston. Grandpa Holston cherished every second with his great-grandchildren. He lavished the tiny tots with gifts; he gifted the duo a private villa each in Maldives in addition to all the other gifts he brought them. It was almost as though he got infected with the shopping ghost, going berserk shopping all the toys and dresses, he could get his hands on. Chris and Emile repeatedly advised Grandpa Holston not to waste gifts on the tiny tots who had no idea what was happening; Every time they advised him, he would laugh and say that his coffin was rather thin and he couldn't take anything with him when he left. Emile and Chris could only

Everyone sat with a resentful expression as Mark read the contents of the letter. “What a heartless little brother?” Veronica pouted regretfully “I didn’t even get to see the twins. “Me too.” Nola pouted “We should have hugged little sister-in-law’s thigh.” “Yeah…. That little brother is too heartless, it would have been better to dote on little sister-in-law. At least she wouldn’t have ditched us so mercilessly.” Darcy too joined in the fun along with his sisters. “That's why you should have been friends with the Burkes.” Eric shrugged “At least my best friend was kind enough to send me pictures of my nephew and niece, even though it was to show off that he is their favourite uncle.” Although Eric’s original intention was to show off in front of his siblings, his tone turned sour at the end. “You have pics?” Both Veronica and Nola spoke in unison. Veronica didn’t wait for a response and snatched Eric’s phone. She handed it over to her husband to open the lock. Eric’s phone had

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
Never to look back It is his fate... no one can escape fate!
“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
