Chapter 21 - Why did you forget about me?

When Ryuu finished drying Sora's hair, his son fell asleep. After putting his son to sleep. He looked around for Liam to dry his hair. He then saw droplets of water trailing towards the door. Then he opened the door and heard a hairdryer being used in Xyleria's room.

Ryuu went towards Xyleria's room and saw her helping Liam to dry his hair. So, he went back to his room to keep his son company to sleep after taking a shower.

In the middle of the night, Ryuu woke up to get a glass of water to quench his thirst. Upon stepping out of his room, he saw William walking out of Xyleria's room carrying Liam in his arms. Both fathers looked at each other, one was smirking while the other had a straight face on. William walked towards his room and closed the door. Ryuu, went down to grab a glass of water, gulp it down, and thought rationally.

He remained calm, as it was just provocation. As he went upstairs, he saw Xyleria walked out of the locked room and towards the study room. Ryuu felt that he was tricked for no reason, maybe he also has not gotten over the death of his wife. Placing such a burden on others, he had a sad smile to himself. Just as he lay beside his son, he could not sleep and search up the web on gods and beliefs, it could be a way to help them return home.

As morning arrives, Xyleria walked out of the study room and washed up before going to the kitchen to prep for breakfast. "Sir, Sir Elijah is outside of your house." Notified KI. "Open the door for him, he must be here for breakfast." Said Xyleria as she hits the bread dough.

Elijah walked into the house towards the kitchen and shouted "Why did you forget about me?! You left me behind yesterday!" as he fumed his anger at Xyleria. Xyleria puts the dough aside to let it rise.

She then passes Elijah a glass of water and said "So, you were the one missing! I felt I had forgotten someone, but I can't remember, because there was an increase of people surrounding me constantly." Said Xyleria trying not to be sarcastic.

After Elijah down the water, "As an apology, I demand that I have my breakfast here!". Xyleria frowned and said "Didn't your mom stayed at your place? Why are you asking for breakfast here? Or was it a lie" as she grabbed a knife to cut fruits.

When Elijah saw Xyleria picked up a knife he quickly added "It's the truth! Just that she asks me to get my own breakfast." He cleared his throat imitating his mom "How old are you already? Still need your mother to prepare breakfast for you! You should be getting me breakfast instead!" and pulled his own ear.

"You should be a comedian, I see potential." Said Xyleria as she cleans up the kitchen after cutting finish the fruits. And prepares the waffle iron, took out a portion of bread dough that has been rolled up looking like a croissant.

While Xyleria is making breakfast, Elijah looked at her and asked, "Did you sleep last night?".

"I did sleep yesterday. Or was it the day before?"

"You should sleep more, by the way, your doctor's appointment is next week. I am sure she will say to sleep more. Even the most powerful person on earth still sleeps." Said Elijah.

Xyleria who is cooking the Croffle, "Are you still imitating your mom? Cause it felt like you are." Elijah stood up from the stool in disbelieve, "I was just caring for you and you said I'm annoying?!".

"I never said you were annoying. It was you who indirectly called your mom annoying. If I ever find you annoying, I will still let you stay, cause your annoying self keeps the silence away, even when I needed silence." Said Xyleria as she plates up the food and passes it to Elijah.

Elijah took the plate of food and set it on the dining table, while Xyleria took out cups and glasses. "KI wake them up." Ordered Xyleria. Soon, an alarm sounded in 2 rooms. "Rise and shine! Breakfast is ready. Get yourself washed up and get ready for whatever is coming your way today!" said KI.

Soon, everyone came to the dining room, some still half-awake. As everyone had their breakfast, Xyleria realizes something is off with Ryuu. After breakfast, everyone went to work.

Xyleria walked to her office with the 2 kids and there she saw the CEO in her office. The CEO looked up and smiled "You guys have arrived. I been waiting for a long time, let's go play more games!" said the CEO. Liam and Sora went with the CEO and bid farewell to Xyleria who went for the meeting regarding yesterday's sudden meeting.

The CEO did not bring them to her office, but the carpark basement. Liam asked, "Where are we going?". The CEO helped them put on their seat belts and said "To fulfill your requests, I promised, didn't I. Right! Do not worry, your request has not been fulfilled yet as you have yet to state. Today, we are fulfilling Sora's wish, so we are doing this together." The CEO's assistant started the car and drove them to a pottery shop that teaches people how to make ceramic mugs.
