Chapter 149 - Reggie's Behavior

Ch-148 

Cyrus couldn't help but feel helpless. Why was this child acting strangely? Reggie was good when he was in Atlantis. He was behaving as if he was possessed or like an influential person. Cyrus needs to keep an eye on Reggie for the time being. 

[This little one is troublesome. But…. he is turning weird. Did he get over Arthur's thing? Even Esther took five months. This guy…. Is he developing any new personality? I need to take him to a doctor. This…. Arnold Calista! That bastard! Did he forget my orders? If not for our friendship between five families, I would have sliced him into pieces! I need to get him here by tomorrow!]  Cyrus thought. 

Reggie was a kid after all, even though he was not having any strong reactions when Arthur's name was taken, but still, he was not completely comfortable. This was a serious thing, he needs to take care of it. 

Cyrus looked at his son, whose spirit was completely taken away by him. "Reggie…." he called out softly. 

Reggie lifted his head and looked at Cyrus with his big watery eyes. 

"If you want to bully dad, I will allow you to do it. But never involve someone else, okay? Dad wants the best for you. Only mom and dad can scold you. But others cannot do it or shouldn't do it. Reggie is a mom and dad son. And dad is the king of the royal family. As my son, you have to enter the royal family too. But with this attitude, the elders will not accept you. So, dad wants you to stay with him. Okay?" Cyrus said. 

Reggie doesn't know that Cyrus was making plans to take him to the royal family. All he knew was Cyrus came from a noble family and had strict rules, even though he had to suffer a lot. But he never thought he wanted Reggie to join the family. 

"What if they don't like Reggie?" Reggie asked worriedly. All he wanted to know was he will have a home and will be with Cyrus and mom. 

"Doesn't matter. Dad is king. Whatever dad says will go. But dad wants everyone to shower love on Reggie. That happens only when Reggie is awesome as a dad," Cyrus said softly. He doesn't want to hurt Reggie too much. 

"Reggie will not repeat his mistakes. He will apologize to the manager uncle," Reggie said as he lowered his head. 

"Good," Cyrus said. 

Esther's eyes and mouth are wide open due to the things which unfolded in front of her. These two big guys and a small guy act like real father and son. She blinked once, twice, thrice and opened her mouth wide. Dammit! Was she dreaming? 

[They look like father and son. No wonder Reggie got so close to this stinky man despite his dislike! And looking at them, they both have golden eyes. Reggie has brown chocolate eyes. But how did his eyes change to amber? What kind of a miracle was this?] Esther couldn't help but think as she looked at both father and son's eyes. 

"Mom?" Reggie called her out as he looked at her with a confused look. 

"Hmm?" she responded. 

"Why are you looking at dad and me again and again?" he asked as he blinked his big eyes. 

"Nothing. I feel like your eyes changed into amber. They used to be brown," Esther said. 

"I don't even know. His eye color is changing," Cyrus added.

"Yeah… They are similar to you. And his facial features are similar to yours too. Or maybe it's my illusion," Esther said as she cut off the topic and continued to eat. 

But Cyrus felt she was right. His magical prowess, his eye color, Changes in his behavior…. What were all these? 

[ Who are you, my son?]  Cyrus asked himself in his brain. 

[ Arthur has the same aura as 'him'. does Reggie have any relationship with him by blood? Arthur…. Arthur…. Arthur…. I need his DNA! I wonder if he was alive or not. I need to investigate. How did they even exist? How are they connected to 'him'. Something happened without my knowledge. Who was the one that was hiding the details of Reggie from the world? Reggie…. What kind of a puzzle are you? As of now…. I need Benjamin's and Esther's support to cure Reggie.] Cyrus thought. 

He looked at Reggie, who was looking like his mini version. [I need to check his soul] he made a mental note to himself. 

Cyrus continued to eat as he looked at Reggie and Esther from time to time. Esther filled Reggie's favorite dishes in his bowls as she encouraged him to eat more. Seeing 

Reggie smiled at Esther, Cyrus was relieved. He wasn't affected much by earlier things, that's a good thing. 

After they were done eating, Esther asked for the dessert. So…. Cyrus pressed the bell calling the waiter. 

"How may I help you, Sir?" the waiter asked respectfully as he bowed his head. The manager also followed the waiter to serve them as he closely organized and took care of the things personally. 

"I need Hot Fudge Sundae and Malasadas," Esther said. 

"What do you want, Reggie?" Esther asked as she turned towards Reggie. 

"I want…. want….Chiffon pie," Reggie said as he looked at the menu for a minute. 

"Cyrus… you want anything?" Esther asked. 

"Order for me," he threw a sentence on her implying whatever she ordered he would eat. 

"One Huckleberry pie for him," she said to them. 

"That was all," she added. 

The waiter bowed and was about to leave the room. 

"Manager Uncle…." Reggie called, making the manager nervous. 

"Kid. You need something?" he asked softly. 

"I am so hungry and the food hasn't arrived. So…. I left the review with my dad's phone and brought you troubles.. Reggie, apologizes for his actions," The big little man said sincerely as he bowed his head, shocking the manager.
