Another voice shouted, coming inside the room. "I told you not to run around the house. It's dangerous for you!" His mother smiled, "Darling, you should listen to your aunt. Don't be stubborn." He sulked a bit, "I'm sorry aunt Aileen." Aileen laughed, "Look at you acting like they gave you a death sentence. Don't worry sweetie, I am not mad at you. Just let your mom rest. She was busy all through the night." He looked at his mother, "Miss Rose, did you really work overnight? Is that why you are not going to the pastry shop today?" Miss Rose is a playful way her son calls her sometimes when he wants to joke around. Even though he is still a little boy, he is very smart. He always reminds her of his father due to how smart and fast he is. Rose laughed, "Darling, let me rest a bit. I promise you that I'll be going to t

"Do you have something to say to me?" She asked him while they were having dinner together. He keeps glancing at her occasionally which makes her wonder if he has something to say to her. He smiled, "Am I not allowed to look at your beautiful face? Don't you think you are being too cruel?" She rolled her eyes, "How about you look at your food instead of looking at me?" He shook his head in disagreement, "I want to look at your face. I'm finally able to see dark circles around your eyes after a few months." She glared at him, but then immediately laughed. He knows how to make her laugh even if she is having a tough time. The only person who has been there through thick and thin for her all these years. The one who gave her enough strength to keep doing. She hardly had any moment of sadness with him around. But her feelings? "Now what are you thinking about staring at me like that?" He asked her instead. She scratched her head. Then she quickly looked a

Rose rushed to carry her son. Kay also helped her bring Tristan to the couch. The little confused boy stared at the both of them in confusion. "Mommy, why are you not saying anything?" Tristan asked her again. She shook her head quickly with a smile, "No darling. How can you say such a thing? We are not talking about your father." "Yes. Why would your dad be a killer? We were not talking about him. Why are you even awake?" Kay asked him trying to change the subject. "I wanted to drink some water but I heard you talking so I came because I missed you uncle." Rose held his little hand, "Darling, you know it's wrong to eavesdrop on people right? Besides there's no one trying to kill me. It is just a phrase." He looked down sadly, "I am sorry mommy and uncle. I didn't mean to. I'll never do that again." She smiled and hugged him, "It's okay darling. You need to go to school tomorrow so let me put you to bed." Kay stopped her, "Let me take my god
