The Dark Side Of Fate 06 A Unseen Request

We remained in the garden, engrossed in conversation about various topics until evening when we received word that our children had returned from Grizlo. I quickly rose from my seat, followed by Claudia, Linda, and the rest. Nicole, whose children were grown and residing in Lucland City, didn’t share the same sense of anticipation as we did.

With haste, I made my way towards the driveway in front of the mansion. The vans had arrived, and our children were disembarking. Keith and Joseph immediately embraced Harper as she emerged from the vehicle, and she reciprocated their affection with a radiant smile.

One by one, the others showered our returning children with hugs and warm greetings. Charlotte playfully tousled their hair, patiently waiting for her younger siblings to join. It was a joyful but crowded scene, the culmination of the news they had shared and the realisation that their graduation meant they wouldn’t need to return to Grizlo.

I approached Harper, and her face lit up with a wide grin upon seeing me. “Mom,” she exclaimed as we embraced.

“He’s still in the van,” she whispered to me, referring to Liam, and I gave her a gentle pat on the back. “Your father is in his office,” I whispered back, well aware of the special bond they shared. Harper broke the hug and headed inside, followed by everyone else.

Finally, Liam stepped out of the van. Although he appeared outwardly fine, I knew better. His eyes held a haunted and pained look, and without hesitation, I enveloped him in my arms. “You’ll be okay, son. It will get better,” I whispered reassuringly, and he allowed himself to be embraced. It was clear that he needed this comforting gesture, and I was grateful that he let me provide it.

After our hug, I posed a question to Liam.

“Would you like to see your father first, or would you prefer to go to the bungalow?” I asked, noticing his gaze fixed on the entrance.

“I suppose I should see the King first and find out my fate,” he replied, and I couldn’t resist playfully ruffling his hair, though I knew it embarrassed him. He may have grown up, but he would always be my little boy.
