71 Plans For Breakfast 

Luke. 

Morning came, and I was reluctant to get off the bed. Spending the night in the mansion seemed like a good idea, but waking up in it did not seem so anymore. I hated breakfast, and this one would definitely be eventful. I could imagine the list of things we would have to discuss. Caleb‘s daughter was one. Caleb moving out of the mansion was another. Caleb‘s marrying the reluctant and not–interested Kimberly was there. Me housing them was an offence that might be discussed. Paul‘s health and prospects and my future plan for him were prospective topics my father would want to discuss either on his own or prompted by Stacy. Tia‘s take on everything and her plans for our baby will be addressed. Above all, Elisabeth‘s exit will be brought up. There was no way breakfast was going to be peaceful. I wished the mansion’s exit wasn‘t at the right wing. If not, I would have opted to slip away with Tia and call to apologise later. One thing I was sure my father would be prepared, and Norman would be waiting at the exit to invite us to breakfast before we leave.

Tia and I were both naked, and I moved close to her and held her. She grumbled in her sleep, and it made me smile. I kissed her neck and wrapped my arms around her. We were finally at peace. I was glad Paul was in great hands, and Elisabeth was out of my life permanently. I wished her the best, but I prayed our paths never crossed. It was seven in the morning, and we won‘t be having breakfast until nine. My father deliberately kept it that late so that none of us would have an excuse. I am sure he was geared up for this morning, and I knew he would anticipate our move to dodge it.

I gently moved away from Tia, so she won‘t wake up. I picked up my phone and called Caleb. He answered almost immediately, which made me believe he was awake.

“Couldn‘t sleep?” I asked him. 

“Yeah. The couch sucks,” he complained, and I realised Kimberly hadn‘t softened up. For his good, I hope she does. He really hurt her beyond repair. “You should have slept in another room,” I told him. 

“No. I can‘t. It is best this way. I want to be in the same space she is. Do you think things would have gotten good between you and Tia if you slept in separate rooms? Hanging around her increases my chances. She might forgive me sooner this way. Otherwise, the months will roll by quickly, and she will leave. Every second counts for me.” He said, and I figured he was serious about winning her heart again. “Well, I wish you all the best,” I said, and he thanked me. “I didn‘t know how fucked up the idea of spending the night here was until now, Luke,” Caleb said, and I laughed a bit. 

“Me too,” I said and pinched the bridge of my nose. “I am prepared for my mother,” Caleb said, which reminded me why I called in the first place. 

“Please do not bring up Regan Adhit at the table. I want to get to the bottom of the matter,

I was definitely visiting the salon soon. My beards were not long, but I needed to cut and carve them. The whole stress about Kimberly and then Paul kept me so occupied that I forgot to keep my appointment with my barber. After brushing my teeth, I linked one of the staff closest to my room to bring Tia a tuna sandwich and returned to bed. A few minutes later, the staff told me they were out of tuna but had smoked salmon. I doubted what that would taste like
