It was exactly 6pm when Mrs Tang arrived in the mansion. Aunt Phillis was in the living room by then, she chuckled lightly when she saw her. She could already guess why the Madame was there.
This woman sure is stubborn.
"Phillis, where are my children?" Mrs Tang accusingly asked.
She couldn't understand as to why her children always prefer their nanny over her, their own mother !
Even her younger son chose to stay her instead of staying by her side. And thus,she could only accuse Phillis for all the happenings.
Aunt Phillis lightly smiled. She will never stoop to the Madame's childish level.
How can she handle a grown up throwing tantrums !
"Should I send for them or you will go yourself to fetch them ?"
"Am not going ." Mrs Tang arrogantly replied
'Why should she be the one to go ?, what of her,Phillis?'
The smile on Aunt Phillis face widens. This mother and son sure do think alike.
Emil had said exactly those three words when she told him to go on the date.
Who said boys take after their father and girls take after their mother.i
She was about to send a maid when...
" Who's this pretty lady? Can I have your number ?" Daniel teasingly approach from behind and hugged his mother.
Happiness could be seen on Mrs Tang's face but she tried to suppress it.
She will make her son feel a bit guilty !
"Pretty lady, can you at least tell me your name ?" Daniel saw how his mother was trying to suppress her happiness.
'This mother of his is still a bit childish inside'.
"Am not telling you my name " Mrs Tang decided to play along
Looking at them gave Aunt Phillis a headache.
'When will Madame ever grow up' she wondered
The mother and son were still bickering sweetly when Emil emerged from a room downstairs.
He frowned the moment he saw his mother. He could already feel his head aching.
'Why is it that anytime something good happens, his mother comes and ruin his good mood !, first it was his dream,and now its his little sweet moment and progress !'
"What an honor to have empress Kathryn in my humble abode. How may I be of service ?" Emil looked quizzically at his mother, he knew why she had suddenly appear.
"Can't I come to visit my children ?" Mrs Tang frowned. She held Emil's and Daniel's hand and pulled them to sit together on the couch.
'Come visit your children?, do you even remember the last time you set foot here ?' Emil sneered but kept a straight face. He didn't want to annoy his mother because that will make her stay much longer and he didn't want that to happen.
Not when his relationship with Yvonne wasn't solid.
Daniel lazily sat on the couch with his hand propped behind his head. He instinctively stared at his mother.
He knew their mother wasn't there for him but for his brother.
He nervously looked up the stairs and prayed silently for Yvonne to remain in her room till their mother leaves.
He was afraid that his brother's little progress will go down the drain if ever Yvonne hears what their mother was going discuss with Emil.
'Could she have fallen for Emil as well?, Is her love strong enough to withstand anything?' Daniel was nervously thinking about all possible solutions
At last, he excused himself and went upstairs.
He must preserve his brother's effort.
