Chapter 21 - Chapter 20: My Family Part 1

Last time, Chu Hua brought some of her elite to find out what my father, the emperor, was doing in the human world.

Dad, is she going to come back to get us? I asked. Knowing her, she will try anything to get what she desires. Visyn replied. Yes or no Visyn? Hayden asked. She will, geez you are so impatient. Visyn replied. Ok Delilah, we're packing up and leaving at the end of the week. Hayden replied. Mom? I asked. Hayden, I will not let her have her way. Visyn replied. Dad, I just don't want to change school drastically as I did in the past. I replied. Chu Hua ran us out of towns by accusing my mom of things such as disasters. I just want stability. I replied. My dad pat my head. I know. Visyn replied. For the time being, I can not go back to Ira for sometime. I have to stay here. Visyn replied. Emperor, are you sure? Valkyrie asked. I'm positive. Visyn replied. As he said that, I smiled. My mom smiled as well. I can tell in my dad's eyes, he wants to make it right in someway.

Making my mom a single mother. Her becoming the victim of his wife's jealousy.

Alexandre and Valkyrie went home.

Dad hugged my mother and I.

In Ira, Chu Hua was looking at the moment from a jade butterfly. So this is his move? Chu Hua asked. Jade Empress, we have to be careful. Althaia replied. I know, we have to tread carefully. My husband is not stupid. Chu Hua replied.

At the house, my dad ate dinner with us. Slept in the same bed as my mom. I haven't seen my mom this happy ever.

She is always had a sad expression on her face. I knew she tried to save face for my sake.

He kissed my cheek.

My mom smiled.

She looked at her phone.

Why are they calling after I got off at six in the morning? Hayden asked. Then decline the call. Visyn asked. You don't understand; I work in the healthcare field. I am an RN in the hospital. Hayden replied. RN? Visyn asked. I am a registered nurse. In layman's terms, I am the direct caretaker in the hospital.

My mom answered the phone.

Yvonne: Hey Hayden, are you available tonight?

Hayden: Uhmm.

My dad looked at her face.

Yvonne: Hayden, I know this suddenly.

Hayden: If you need me, I'll come in.

Yvonne: Oh never mind, Sasha finally came. Have a great night.

Hayden: Good night.

My mom hung up.

Visyn, what did you just do? Hayden asked. Why would you think I would do that? Visyn asked. Hmmm. Hayden replied. Oh yeah, I just a little something. Visyn replied. What did I tell you about manipulating with fate? Hayden asked. He caressed her cheek. She blushed. I miss spending time with you, Hayden. Visyn replied. He kissed her.

The next morning, my mom and dad were in a deep sleep. I woke up and got dressed for the day. Oh well, I will make breakfast for myself. I mumbled. Mom and dad, I'm leaving. I replied. Have a great day at school, Delilah. Hayden and Visyn replied. Alright, bye mom and dad. I replied.

At the moment, I felt like I had a normal family dynamic.

Stay Tuned.
