Chapter 202 - Daddy Is Too Pitiful!

Ch-201

Cyrus Pulled Esther closer to him and made her sit in his lap and said to her, "I will wait for you to open up completely. But I will marry you earlier. So that I can see you daily and can talk to you. Also… I won't touch you till you ask me that you want to have sex with me," he said seriously shocking her.

[But he almost made out with me!] she thought as she looked at him. 

"I did! But that is a spur of the moment! I will not let it happen again!" he said sincerely. 

"Don't touch me casually," she said. 

"I wi…." before Cyrus could finish his words. They both heard the voice of Reggie calling them "Dad… Mom…." Cyrus hurriedly cleaned his lips which were stained with Esther's lipstick.

"Reggie…. Come in!" Esther said, allowing him inside the room. He saw his father and mother standing on opposite sides, while his mother was glaring at him while his father lowered his head. 

Reggie slapped his head in irritation. She just accepted his proposal. Why does he have to ruin it again? His daddy will never change. 

"Mommy, Don't be angry with my idiotic dad. Forgive him for me once. I will never let him do stupid things," Reggie said as he tried to help his father. Esther blushed and went in front of the mirror. She adjusted her lipstick before Reggie could notice it. She went inside her walk-in closet and shut the door. 

Reggie was sure that his father messed up for real big this time. He dragged him out and made him sit on the couch in the hall. 

"Dad… After so much hard work. Mom accepted you. But what did you do that mom even wants to distance herself from you? Why can't you be sensible? I am so happy that you both were getting together. But! You! Messed up all the things! Sigh… Dad, you are hopeless!" Reggie said as he sighed like an old man. The Benjamin family didn't expect Reggie to be like a father to Cyrus while Cyrus was a son to Reggie. 

And the best thing Cyrus did was cleaning Esther's lipstick from his face and smoothening his clothes. If not, he would have been embarrassed by his son in front of the whole Benjamin family. 

"What happened?" Lia asked. 

"Grandma, Mom finally agreed to marry dad. But he messed it up. Mom is angry now. I won't have a mom again. Boohoo," Reggie said as he started his sobbing like a million-dollar actor. 

"What did you do, Son?" Lia asked Cyrus as she looked at him with disappointment. 

"Mrs. Benjamin, I just wanted to know whether she is marrying to give a chance to our relationship or just for Reggie? If she wants to marry me because of Reggie, I can arrange a schedule for her to meet him twice a week. I don't want her to marry forcefully.  Yesterday she came to my office with a lawyer to take away Reggie. But just in a day she changed her mind and agreed to marry me. I know she has insecurities with herself after her heartbreak. But I don't want to take advantage of her using the kid. Maybe that day… if he hadn't bumped into her in the restaurant, things wouldn't have come to this point. I want her to marry, only if she wants to try this relationship with me, not because of the kid. If not for her, I can try to find another stepmother. 

"But it doesn't mean I don't like her. I love her. I loved her from long ago but knowing she was with Arthur I gave up. If I lose her now, I would think we aren't fated together. I may find a mother to the kid who can treat him nicely, she can be his mother but not my wife. As a man, when a woman I like initiated the marriage with me, I will have some hopes and expectations. I atleast wish to have her try the relationship with me. But I realized, she only wants kids. But now I am. 

"Mrs. Benjamin, My family is no less than you. It ranked first after the royal families in Atlantis. I am the head of the Vritra Royal family. I know… It's my fault to send Nicholas Vritra, the third prince of the Vritra family to protect her in secret without her knowledge. But I don't regret sending him, because many times, he saved Esther from those animal clutches. 

"I took care of this kid because she loves him. And yeah… gradually I liked my son too. That is another point. I went after her like a shameless man leaving my arrogance and position. But after doing all these things, I don't think… it's wrong to have a little expectation from her to like me or to expect her to at least try this relationship with me." Cyrus said emotionally, making Lia tear up. To start with Lia was melodramatic, And with Cyrus's emotional speech she teared up. Her future-son-in-law worked this hard to get her daughter. But her stupid daughter was ruining everything! She needs to teach a lesson to her daughter! 

Reggie didn't expect her father to be like this. Indeed, my father is too pitiful.

"Dad~~~"  Reggie ran towards him as he cried in the place of Cyrus dramatically. He hugged his neck and sobbed like the earth was going to end.

Old MAn Benjamin snorted at Cyrus during his emotional drama. While Henry felt bad for Cyrus for a second. [This guy is pitiful! But… on the second thought, he deserved it! How dare he get him punished!]  Henry thought. 

"Dad… Don't worry. Reggie will help you chase mom *hiccup*," Reggie said as he hiccuped. 

"Don't worry! You have Reggie! Reggie! Will take care of you from now on!!" he said as he fisted his hand and placed it on his chest.. Like a little soldier, he took an oath making everyone smile at him.
