An hour ago.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the sound of the breaking glass but Xavier didn't turn to look and just stayed normal.
"Mom" He heard Sophie call out as she stood up to go meet the lady who was standing still with her hands frozen in the air and her eyes glued to Xavier's face.
Sophie rushed to her side as she helped her mom to move away from the shards of glass on the floor. But the woman was totally unaware as she just followed Sophie with her face filled with questions but there was joy in her heart. Her son was home for the first time in five years and she couldn't express her happiness.
After making sure that her mom was not close to the broken glass, Sophie then went inside the kitchen to call one of the servants to clean the floor.
The woman who had now regained her posture quickly rushed to her son's side
"Xavier" She called as she brought her hands out to touch him but was stopped with a warning.
