Chapter 109 - Mentally Anguished

Ch-108

Esther was guided to the dining table by the Butler Mark. She saw both father and son sitting there as they were deeply involved in the staring war. Esther went and sat beside Reggie. She didn't even look at Cyrus from the moment she entered the dining table. She didn't want to look at him or talk to him. Yesterday's event and the morning incident made her too embarrassed to even look at him, but Who was Cyrus? 

Being a king for the Basilisk empire, he was also a king of shamelessness! 

"I hope Lady Benjamin has a good sleep yesterday," he said with a wicked smile. 

Esther glared at him hatefully. If not for her cutie she wouldn't have even slept! 

"Reggie, Let's eat!" Esther said with a bright smile on her face. She kissed his face. Again the problem of height arose for Reggie. Reggie got disappointed he was about to climb off and go to his baby dining table. But Esther stopped him, she bought a couch cushion and placed it on his chair before settling him on the chair. "Momma is smart!" he praised her as he leaned forward and kissed her cheek. "My baby is best!" Esther praised him back. 

Esther served food in Reggie's bowl as before she served herself. Cyrus waited for her to serve him too but he was disappointed when she didn't serve him. When Esther was about to start eating Cyrus pushed his bowls towards her shamelessly. "Could you please serve me too?" he asked her in an extremely pitiful yet guilty voice. Esther's lips twitched at his expression. She doesn't know whether she should laugh or cry. Not only her, Even Reggie, the maids, and the butler were also shocked by his actions. He was kinda….. Weird and…. Shameless! 

Giving a face to him infront of everyone, Esther served him too. After that, she continued eating. Once in a while, she kept filling food in Reggie's bowl while checking whether he was full or not. Cyrus who saw this… also started filling Reggie and Esther's bowls too. Esther doesn't want to accept his food, but his cute expressions left her with no choice. After their breakfast, Reggie got a glass of his beetroot juice. He has a disgusting expression as he looked at it. 

"You don't like it?" Esther asked as she patted his head. 

"No!" Reggie said. 

"But do you know? Beetroot makes you fair and makes you look handsome than your daddy. Also, it replenishes your blood and makes you strong! If you are strong, you can protect mom, Just like that day in the office!" Esther tried to persuade him. 

"I will drink!" Reggie said. when he got to know he can protect mom and become strong. 

Reggie picked the glass and drank the whole in a gulp. He looked like a contented little old man with a smile on his face. 

"Mom, Shall we go outside and play as you promised me?" Reggie asked. He also wants to do shopping with his mom just like his friends in his previous school. 

"Let's take a rest for today. We will go tomorrow for sure," Esther said. 

"But mom…." Reggie wanted to say something but was stopped by Cyrus. 

"If you want to go, you have to go tomorrow. If not… You will fall sick again and will make your mom worry again. Do you want to do that?" Cyrus asked Reggie sternly. 

"Nope!" Reggie moved his head from side to side showing his denial. 

"Then be a good boy and rest," Cyrus said. 

Reggie pouted his lips sadly but nodded his head. "Then mom… Will you stay with Reggie today?" he asked widening his chocolaty eyes widely. Esther felt that if she refuses him now, he will cry again. 

"I can't stay today, Baby. Yesterday, I was here all day, and the day before yesterday I slept all along. Lots of work piled up. And tomorrow You and I will go out for the whole day. It will make mom work to pile up." Esther reasoned. The inauguration of her brand was stressing her out along with her jewelry brand. Her idea just popped out of nowhere, now she was being roasted because of it. She has a place but the workers and the models and the raw material….. Finding them was a little hard now for her. And she has to do this in three months. If something gets delayed she has to wait till the end of Autumn. Esther was mentally anguished when she thought about all this. 

Even though Reggie was disappointed, he could say nothing. "Then…. Can Reggie give company to mom today?" he asked. 

"You want to come to the office?" Esther asked. 

He nodded his head to her. Esther looked at Cyrus after seeing her son's wish. "You can take him," he said. 

"Let's go!" Reggie said. 

"Wait! The doctor is at the gate. Go after getting checked!" Cyrus said. 

They both nodded at him. 

Esther wore a flowery skirt with a white shirt tucking it inside her skirt. She let her hair fall loosely on her shoulders making it sway for every action she made with her head. So… She doesn't need to change and she was the boss who would say anything to her dressing. Every day, she used to be professional but today she needs to make an exception. She always keeps a pair of clothes in her car for the emergency cases but her car was in her office. So… she could only compromise with her clothing for today as it looked too informal. 

After few minutes, The doctor came and checked Reggie's health. After he checked him, he found he was fine. Reggie went to his room and changed after the checkup.
