In the evening, the Burkes came over as usual, the only difference from usual was this time, they were all in attendance, from the oldest Matthias to the youngest, Liam.This time round, the explanations went smoothly, perhaps practice makes perfect… or having your family backing you … makes your spine straighter even if you are speaking about the impossible… who knows!The reaction of the Burkes was no different from that of the Walters… with the exception of Matthias.“First uncle, you don’t seem surprised.” Emile giggled as her gaze skirted over her cousins dumb founded expression before settling on Matthias who seemed to have taken the news in a stride.“The world is vast and wide…” Matthias shrugged, “And who says that the old must be extinct before a new world can emerge?”“True…” Everett nodded as he sank into contemplation. He wasn’t cataloguing but reviewing everything he had ever read or known about his family history. His eyes narrowed as he remembered the information he had
He went on to explain everything about their ancestry… the legend of the cultivator world, their ancestor and the prophecy.“The lightning that day…. The sky….” Thomas asked, his eyes widening in enlightenment.Chris nodded.“No wonder you guys looked like you had finished a battle with the heavens.” Eric too nodded with a rare solemn expression.No one spoke after this, not because they had nothing to ask, but because they didn't know what to ask.Unlike other families, their concerns weren't about power or talent. Nor were they concerned with why they had missed out.Their concern was simple:How do we protect them?“In the cultivation world, there is a ceremony for newborns on their hundredth day. It is mainly to check their foundation and if they have the innate ability to cultivate.”“I was thinking of having their christening afterwards so that I can name them according to that…” He paused, “For cultivators, names mean much more than just a name… it is a reminder, a restraint and
Time flew by and, in the blink of an eye, three months had already passed. One weekend afternoon, as they sat chatting together, Elizabeth suddenly looked around anxiously.“We haven’t christened the little ones.”Everyone paused. They had all been wrapped up in the little ones’ bright smiles and liveliness that they had forgotten. They all turned their gazes towards their omnipotent youngest son and little brother. Moments later, those blank expressions slowly transformed into confusion, carrying the same question.‘How could you forget something so important?’Chris chuckled, wearing his usual carefree manner, as though everything was under control, as always.“No hurry… there’s plenty of time. We can plan slowly.”“I don’t believe you forgot.” Adam shook his head; his confusion only lasted for a few seconds. He knew his youngest son best. In his plans, there was never a misstep nor a moment of miscalculation.He stared at his son for a while before narrowing his eyes. His voice turn
The next morning as everyone gathered at the breakfast table, Chris Jnr and Emm tried their luck once again, “Daddy, looking at how pitifully our little siblings were crying, can we shift to home schooling?”“We will not fall behind on our schoolwork.” Emm added with a face full of sincerity.All of the Walters, with the exception of Thomas and Angel, were in attendance; they had returned home the previous day because Thomas had to travel for a work case the following day. They all looked towards Chris with curiosity, Everett included.“Nice try... no...” Chris didn’t even have to think.“But they…” Emm pouted pitifully, “Daddy, can you bear to see them crying so pitifully?”“Why not?” Chris chuckled, “we might even add some opera singers to the mix of Walter talents.”Laughter erupted around the table except from three people. Two looked like withered eggplants, while one remained completely serious in solidarity with his treasures' plight.After a beat, he puffed up his tiny chest an
Once everyone retired for the night, either to their homes or their rooms at Rosevilla, Chris headed upstairs for the one routine he had never changed. Bedtime was story time for the babies. Although the stories varied depending on their aptitude, it was time dedicated solely to them.However, when he entered, he heard Chris Jnr’s serious voice, telling the story he had told them several times.“Are you stealing daddy’s spotlight?” Chris chuckled as he leaned against the door, watching the children with affection.“How can we steal daddy’s spotlight?” Emm giggled, covering her mouth as she shuffled on the bed to make space for Daddy.He quietly took little baby from his spot where he had fallen asleep on all fours and placed him on his bed and covered him with a blanket before settling on the mat with three children on either side and beginning a new story. This time, the story wasn’t about the prince who waited for his princess and their happily ever after. Instead, it was about a dif
Little baby rushed out the moment he heard Chris Jnr’s voice, crying loudly before he even saw them.“Big treasure… little treasure… little siblings have disappeared… I searched everywhere…”His words and crying came to an abrupt halt as he saw Chris Jnr and Emm emerging from the car holding little siblings.He marched up to Chris with a stern expression and scolded him righteously, “Little uncle, don’t you know little baby will worry? Why didn’t you tell me when you took my little siblings away?”Leo and the others who had woken up with the ruckus also came scrambling out, panic written all over their faces as they heard little baby wail. They too, turned a disappointed gaze towards Chris, shaking their heads like little adults.Chris rubbed his nose with a sheepish smile as he muttered to Emile, “Why do I feel like I'm the evil stepfather in this story?”“My thoughts exactly.” Emile whispered back with a soft laugh.“Who are you bossing around.” Darcy picked up little baby and tossed
Son, why are you behaving like this?” Elizabeth asked with a pained expression as she walked with Chris towards the private lounge area designated for the Walters, trying to hold his hands several times, only to fail miserably.“Mom, I have very little patience for your melodrama.”“Son, you don’t eve
Chris didn’t have many thoughts at this moment. He only hoped he could see his wife’s smile one last time, but he didn’t know if he would last that long. He hated himself for forgiving his mother in a moment’s weakness giving her a chance to rob him of his happiness.He couldn’t understand how the pe
“I am short of time.” Chris opened his mouth once again “I want to take care of this before the next board meeting of the old house.”“What do you want us to do?” Lorenzo asked. No one asked why he needed everything sorted before the board meeting.“My men have shortlisted five clinics, one here, two
Neil walked back into the theatre and looked at the two people who looked like they were sleeping peacefully and sighed ‘Why do you always have to make trouble for me in pairs? Wonder if the hospital beds are more comfortable? Should I order one for their home so that I can continue being lazy?’He w
