Chapter 306 - Cute Family

Ch-305

"Sorry, President Vritra. My son doesn't know how to talk. I will teach him manners," Liam's father came and dragged Liam before he messed with Cyrus.

Esther turned and looked at Cyrus as if she was asking 'can you be gentle with kids?'. For which Cyrus only shrugged and started walking ahead.

"Daddy! You are amazing just now!" Reggie praised him.

Even though Cyrus was praised by a lot of people, he felt a little proud of being praised by his son. Even though he tried to suppress his smile, his lips curved upwards a bit.

"Dad, I have two candies. I will give you one," Reggie said and took out a chocolate from his bag still in his arms.

Taking out a lollipop, he gave one to Cyrus and another he ate it by himself, unwrapping the wrapper.

Cyrus struggled with whether he should eat or not. It's too childish for him to eat candy at this age. He looked at the candy with a strange look, feeling abhorred.

"Dad, you don't like the candy given by Reggie?" Reggie asked with a puppy voice. He looked like he was going to cry the very next second. Cyrus for the first time got fooled by his son's expression. Feeling determined, he decided to eat the candy.

"No, I can't unwrap it. See… you are in my hands. How can I unwrap it?" Cyrus said as he consoled him.

"Oh! I will unwrap for daddy," Reggie said and opened it for him. Reggie stretched his hand which held candy and looked at him with pitiful eyes. Ahhh! [This was a really hard task.] Cyrus thought.

Closing his eyes, he kept it in his mouth. The sweetness of candy hit his divine taste buds. Generally, he wasn't a fan of sweets, but this candy has a taste of sweetness combined with umami taste. He kind of liked this taste.

"Reggie, it's good," words left from Cyrus's mouth without his knowledge. It's just that he was too immersed in the taste of the candy.

Esther looked at the pair of father and son. Cyrus looked like a stylish star with the candy in his mouth. The candy, his glasses, black shirt, and his neatly gelled hair… made him look like a god descended from heaven. While Reggie looked like a cute little child star. His look made Esther want to shower Reggie's face with kisses, but she held it back due to Cyrus's presence. If she kisses him now, he would do something to her in the public itself. With the presence of paparazzi, she didn't dare to provoke him anymore.

Reggie smiled brightly after receiving praise from his father. Feeling proud, he puffed his chest up and said, "I know dad! It's great! I got this from the canteen uncle. He gave me this when I helped him when fainted while serving,"

"How did you help him?" Esther asked with a smile.

"I sprinkled water on him and made him drink water," Reggie said.

"He felt happy and gave me these candies. I don't know where these candies came from, but I like these candies. I want to buy these candies tomorrow… but our canteen won't sell these things. Sigh…" Reggie heaved like a sad grandpa.

Cyrus felt something was amiss here. He needs to check it himself. Having guards wouldn't do. But an insider someone as the canteen staff and as the teacher should be needed. These guards were turning useless as days passed. He guessed that living in the human world made them lazier. Cyrus decided to make them lose their laziness once for all. If not… they would be lazy and wouldn't even work properly.

Cyrus felt something was wrong with him again with the candy. For a second, he thought that he was overthinking. But… again… it's not bad to be cautious.

Suddenly, he heard his sister's voice in his mind saying, 'Sweet Poison

Was that a confirmation? Or was he imagining things again? Something was wrong with this candy and that canteen uncle. He needs to get it checked. It happened the very day they announced the relationship. And surely the word would have been spread. But… it doesn't make sense somehow to him. Was somehow wantedly misleading him?

He needs to investigate the situation properly sigh…

Rubbing his hand, he started driving back.

"Hubby, just stop the car near the dessert shop. Let's have a dessert treat for Reggie!" Esther said as she kissed Reggie on his cheek.

Reggie clapped his hands at her announcement. "Okay," Cyrus said to them. Even though he was driving, he somehow couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong with the candy.

Seeing a dessert shop, Cyrus stopped his car near it and climbed off. When they entered the shop, the shop assistants helped them find a table and gave them a menu. "Reggie, order what you like," Esther said, passing the menu to him.

Reggie shook his head in yes and took the menu. "I want blueberry cake!" he said.

"We will have that then," Esther said.

"Cyrus, do you want the same or would you like something different?" Esther asked, flipping through the pages.

"Nope. I don't want any desserts right now," he said. Esther sensed that something was wrong with his mood, but she decided to ask that thing after reaching home.

"I need nothing too. Just get what the kid asked," Esther said with a smile.

Reggie ate the cake with a smile. He even fed Esther and Cyrus a scope full of love.

"Daddy, Why don't we take a photo of us here? I will show it off to my friends!" Reggie said with a silly smile.

Cyrus smiled and took a selfie. "Show me," Reggie asked excitedly.

He took Cyrus's phone with too much excitement. He even giggled louder, attracting the onlooker's attention. Everyone felt that the kid was too cute.

"Dad! Is this even a photo? How can I show my friends this kind of photo? I want to fill my room with our three members' photos and invite my friends to show off. But why did you take it so horribly? Sob~~ Momma… Reggie is sad," Reggie went and complained to Esther.

Cyrus just wanted to admit that he sucks at taking photos. Was that a sin to not take photos properly?

Esther glared at him for being lousy in taking photos. His biceps won't be reduced if he asks someone's help in taking a photo.

"Reggie, Don't be sad. Momma will buy you another blueberry cake, okay?" Esther said to cheer up Reggie.

"But momma, Reggie wants a family photo," he said with a pout.

"Hmm… indeed… we shall take a family photo," Esther said.

"But how? Dad is the worst at taking photos and mom is worse too." Esther said sadly.

"Momma waits!" Reggie said. He jumped off from his seat and went near an attendee. He pulled her skirt with his little hands, and looked at her with cute little puppy eyes, making her heart melt for him.

"Pretty Aunty, can you take a picture of me and my parents together? Please," he pleaded with his cute watery eyes, making her unable to refuse.

"Okay!" she said with a bright smile.

She followed him to their table. The attendee took Cyrus's phone and clicked the family of three pictures and handed it back to them. Reggie thanked the woman politely in a cute way. In a second, Reggie became a cute little heart stealer in the café.

After finishing the dessert, the family of three set off to their house. After reaching the house, Cyrus went to freshen up. While Esther went to help Reggie freshen up for his night. She helped him in taking a bath and got him dressed. After she was done with him, she went back to her room and decided to take a shower before she went to sleep.

After changing the clothes, she went back to Reggie's room and helped him with the homework. While Cyrus went to study to deal with the things he found today. He summoned Nicholas to his place. Nicholas instantly teleported himself to Vritra's mansion.

"Brother?" Nicholas said.

"This is candy. Get It checked with modern methods and our methods. I need results as soon as possible," Cyrus said.

"Okay," Nicholas said.

"And…" Cyrus started.

Nicholas patiently waited for him to say something.

"Find someone and let them enter Reggie's canteen and someone who could work as Reggie's teacher. I don't think… the guards could protect him. Also… change this batch of guards. Get these guards retrained. Allot some elite guards around Reggie and Esther," Cyrus said.

"Anything else, Brother?" Nicholas asked.

"Hmm… you can assign your guards to your woman. No need to ask my permission," Cyrus said.

Nicholas wasn't surprised at his brother's words. He was thinking about this for a long time but now he feels that he doesn't need to mull over it.

He nodded at him.

"You can leave," Cyrus said. Nicholas left like he was in a rush. And Cyrus knew what exactly he was doing.. He smiled and got back to his work.
