Chapter 138 - Reunion

Ch-137 

Cyrus and Reggie reached Benjamin's villa very early, shocking the people there. If one doesn't know they would think that both father and son were starved to death because of their behavior. Lia was the only one who was overly enthusiastic at their early visit. She ran to the door to receive them in her apron. 

"Reggie! Cyrus! Come in!" Lia called them loudly. She couldn't hide her excitement. Today, she looked at Cyrus in a mother-in-law's gaze. Awww…. How cute it was to see her soon-to-be son-in-law wooing her daughter. 

Aww… 

She should learn his preferences. So that she could cheer him up with them when he was irritated by her. This way she wouldn't lose a capable son-in-law. That Arthur was nothing compared to this man. This man has no chance of taking advantage of her daughter and to woo her he even adopted the kid. This man was so sweet. If he were to marry her daughter she could not be happy anymore. And on top of that, her son-in-law was tall and handsome. Tall and handsome people were hard to find. She should take care of her soon-to-be son-in-law. Awww…. Her responsibilities were increasing as days passed.

"Mom! Why the hell did I have to drink that disgusting juice? What did I do now?" Esther's angry voice resounded from the stairs. 

"Why are you yelling?" Lia couldn't help but chide her. Her daughter was really not like a lady. She needs to be taught some etiquette. If she was like this no one would marry her. Her newfound soon-to-be son-in-law would run away. And they even shared a kiss, she cannot let them get a breakup. 

Cyrus, who was sitting on the couch, wanted to curve his lips upwards so badly but he couldn't due to his image. Damn! His mother-in-law is really generous. He should try to get into her good books soon. 

"Oh My! I forgot! I and Reggie brought some gifts. I will go get them, Mom." Cyrus said. Lia looked at him in shock when she heard the word, mom. Ahhhh! He called her mom! Mom! Mom! He should be her son-in-law for sure. As if the word mom was a trigger. Lia was so excited that she flew high in the imaginary sky. 

"Oops….Sorry, Aunty," Cyrus said. 

Aunty!? What? Mom is good. His voice was magic. The word mom worked as if he had hypnotized her. She liked it when the word came out of his mouth. 

"You can call me, mom. We are like a family. And there is no need to bring gifts. This is your house. If you get the gifts it would be disrespectful. No need…" Lia said as she tried to sugarcoat her son-in-law. 

Just like that her soon-to-be son-in-law became son-in-law. Their relationship was growing with leaps and bounds. 

"Then… I will hand them before leaving." Cyrus said.

"Can I help you in cooking?" Cyrus said. 

"No! You young people are working hard and should rest more when you get time," Lia said in her excited tone like his real mother-in-law. 

Realization dawned upon Reggie, as he looked at his silly….. Grandma. No wonder his mother was so silly. Like a mother , like a daughter. Sigh…. Hopeless people. They both fell into the trap laid by the big bad wolf, who was his father. He shook his head in helplessness. No wonder his mother was falling into the traps of his father so easily. Sigh….  He pitied them but he could do nothing. Sigh… 

"Look around the house till the food is ready," Lia said as she gave him a hint. 

"Reggie, come with grandma. Let's make food together." Lia dragged the kid away stopping him from being the third wheel. Reggie felt that Grandpa, great grandpa, mom and uncle listened to grandma because she was a fool. If they don't agree with her then they would have to be involved in her nagging. He sighed and followed her into the kitchen. Fine…. His father should work on his relationship with mom, if not he won't get his mom back. He excused his father for this time for stealing his mom.  Cyrus couldn't help but twitch his lips. Is he even his son? He was always jealous of him over his mother. Maybe he should send him back so that he can have some alone time with his woman. 

But the thing which made Cyrus happy was his mother-in-law's thoughts when she told him to look around the house. She wants him to go to her daughter's room and have a chat with her. Aww… such a thoughtful mother-in-law. The moment the both mother-in-law and his son left he called Ben. 

"Helllo," Cyrus said. 

"Brother! It's sunday! Can't you allow me to have fucking goodninght rest!" Ben roared. 

"If you do the thing I say, I will not disturb you for today." Cyrus said, giving him a tempting offer. 

"Yes! At your service, My king!" Ben, who was speaking under the blanket, sat up straight immediately. 

"What shall I do?" Ben asked again without delaying. If he delayed then he would be given more work or he might change his mind. 

"Get gifts for Benjamin's family according to their preferences before 10.a.m" Cyrus said. 

"Okay!" Ben said before hanging the call. He dialed a number before entering the bathroom to do his daily chores. 

He made a few calls and made the other party piss their pants as he gave them orders. 10 a.m. means it's not a long time, it's already 7 a.m. He only has three hours. He needs to fasten up. 

At 9.30 a.m. Ben arrived at Benjamin's villa. As he was asked he placed all the gifts in the car for Cyrus and left. The moment he left the villa guards felt like they had woken up from a deep sleep. 

Earlier when Ben arrived he made them go into a deep sleep when he saw them. His brother asked him not to get caught by anyone. So how could he allow them to find him? Left with no choice he has to do that. 

After he was done with his deal he messaged his brother and updated him about his task. When he got the positive response, he returned home and slumped on his bed as he entered into his deep sleep. 

-------

Meanwhile….. 

Michelle was tense. Because there was a school reunion. Even Esther was invited but she rejected it as she has to go out with Reggie. And Michelle agreed to attend the class reunion. She doesn't want to attend it but she has to attend it because her father asked her to attend. When Michelle rejected the invitation the son of the Johnson Miller, Jason Miller called her father asking him to let her attend the reunion. Miller's family was one of the biggest clients in their business. Michelle's father, Aaron Felix, asked her to attend. She couldn't say no to her father. She doesn't like her school friends apart from Esther. Because she was bullied by them a lot. She was called a broken pieces seller, garbage picker and princess of garbage pickers. 

The Felix family was involved in selling antiques. Antiques were meant to be old. For that very reason she was called with different names. Jason Miller was her crush during her schooling. Everyone knew about her crush on him and mocked her for dreaming high. All this time Esther was the one who defended her. If not for her protection, she couldn't survive the school days. But how far Esther can protect her. She may slay the tongues when they are in front of her but not in their backs. 

If she goes now, she will have to answer about her dating life. She was conflicted. She wanted to call Esther and ask for her help but she was afraid of disturbing her.

On the other hand….

Cyrus directly went to her room smelling her scent. When he reached the room he saw Esther trying to zip her . But the zipper was on her back and her hands weren't reaching them. She tried to zip it up but the zip is completely revealing her snow white skin. Her black bra can be seen from the view where Cyrus stood. Dammit! He didn't even greet her, she started seducing him. 

Esther felt her hands were aching because of this zip. She removed her hands and rested them on her hips to give them a break. "I told mom not to buy these kinds of things. But still she buys these things only. Can't she listen for me once?" Esther grumbled before resuming the battle between her and her zipper. 

Cyrus couldn't bear to see her struggle. He stepped inside and reached and stood behind her. He pulled the zipper up for her, reducing the struggle for her. "Thanks Mom," Esther said as she turned around only to be shocked. Damn! He even entered her room without knocking on the door and not to say that he pulled her zip. 

"Ahh… MMph!" Before Esther could shout Cyrus shut her mouth with his hand. 

"Shhh…." He said to her only to earn a glare from her. 

"Your mom asked me to look around as she took Reggie with her. While I was looking around I saw your door is opened and you are struggling with the zipper. With Kind intentions of helping you I zipped it for you," Cyrus said. 

"I will remove the hand now.. You shouldn't shout now!" he added.
