Aurora carried Logan inside the house as she checked whether he acquired any wounds, but thankfully had none.
She was still angry at what he had done, so she scolded him.
"Logan, how many times have I told you not to do anything dangerous? What if no one was there and you got hurt?" Aurora snapped.
Logan lowered his eyes feeling guilty.
"What did I tell you before I went on the trip?" Aurora asked sternly.
"Complete my homework, eat on time and be careful, " Logan murmured slowly.
"You have broken one of the rules. So you cannot watch the pirate show for one week, " Aurora ordered.
She knew that if she did not punish him now, then Logan would grow bolder and his actions would bring severe consequences.
"Mom, you cannot do this to me. You know how much I love that show," Logan panicked.
"Either you give up your television privileges, or you can forget about the new toy I brought back from the trip. You cannot have both, choose one, quickly," Aurora gave him an ultimatum.
Logan growled. How can his mother be so cruel? It's so difficult to choose one.
"Can I see the gift and then decide?" Logan bargained.
"You surely know how to make a deal. When did you get so smart?" Dimitri scowled while sitting on the opposite sofa.
"Dad, I have always been smart," Logan felt hurt by his father's remark.
His father always mocked him, at least for once he should learn to trust his capacities.
"Fine, don't argue and listen to your mom,"Dimitri said in a stern voice that left no room for any negotiation.
"I will take the toy, " Logan agreed, gritting his teeth.
It was fine, he had watched the pirate show many times and he can show the new toy to his friends.
"Who got you this Spiderman costume?" Dimitri did not remember him or Aurora buying Logan this attire.
"Uncle Gabe brought this dad, last week all the Spiderman masks were sold out. They told me the masks will be arriving this Sunday. Will you take me there?" Logan was very disappointed when the sales guy informed him that all the masks had been sold out a few hours before they arrived.
His overall look was not completed until he wore a mask.
Before Dimitri could reply,Gabriel returned from the office.
"Hey champ, you are looking great," Gabriel complimented, which made Logan very happy.
"Gabe, stop spoiling him. He is becoming naughtier day by day, I don't know what he will end up doing from one day to the next," Dimitri warned his younger brother.
Gabriel did not take it seriously and chuckled, "Brother, all children are usually mischievous while growing up. Don't be so strict, let him breathe. Don't you remember how we were when we were young."
Dimitri let out a breath and replied, "We both were so notorious and destroyed everything. I don't know how mom used to handle us. Your sister-in-law is already busy with work and I don't want her to have any more stress regarding the kids."
Gabriel smirked and said,"Tell me, why are you more concerned about Aurora than Logan? "
"Logan is influenced by you and easily picks up all your bad habits. Maybe if I distance you from him it will be better. I will send you to the Z region for a few months," Dimitri raised his brow.
Logan was troubled by his father's statement more than Gabriel. How can he survive under his demon father without his angelic uncle.
Who will take him out, get him new toys and feed him yummy things without his mother's knowledge? He cannot let this happen at any cost.
Logan quickly went and stood in front of his father.
"Dad, you cannot send uncle Gabe anywhere. He will be so scared to live alone, " Logan said seriously to his father.
Then turned around to Gabriel and patted his chest and declared,"Uncle don't worry I will protect you."
Gabriel controlled his laughter and said, "What will I do without you buddy? You can pick a fight with your father but you cannot let him kick me out the house. "
Logan nodded his head agreeing to his uncle. He put his hands on hips and said in a bossy tone.
"Dad, see, Uncle Gabe is crying so badly. You cannot bully my favorite uncle."
"Not only Gabriel, but I also want to bully you. I think your mother's punishment was very trivial. Should I increase your punishment," Dimitri dictated.
Logan gasped and angrily stated, "Dad you are very mean, bad bad guy.I don't love you."
"Do I look like I care," Dimitri said lazily.
"Ya he only needs your mother's love, " Gabriel teased from behind which earned a cold glare from Dimitri.
"I don't want you anymore. I have uncle Gabe," Logan said arrogantly.
Seeing his dad was so heartless,Logan turned towards his uncle and opened his arms asking to carry him.
Once Gabriel picked him up,Logan tightened his arms around Gabriel's neck and declared, "Uncle I love you so much. Let's not talk to my dad."
"All those years of doting did not go to waste. You surely are my ally Logan " Gabriel high fived his nephew.
Z region was an undeveloped desert region which Santoris had purchased a few months back. There were no proper facilities available there and it was a pain to live there.
Gabriel knew his brother was joking when he wanted to send him there, then again he cannot guess when his brother will end up doing something contradicting his personality.
As the maids announced the table had been set, everyone went to have lunch.
When Logan asked his mother to feed him, Dimitri stated since he is not sending Gabriel anywhere.
Logan should be obedient and do his work. Logan thought about the bigger picture and completed his meal silently.
