Chapter 185 - Sky

Knock knock!

Brian opens the door after getting permission from Lily. When he strides inside the room, he saw that Lily was sitting at her table while Alex was reading a thick book which he doesn't remember the content inside it. But, he sure it is fine for him to read it.

He cleared his throat a bit and Lily runs to him happily. "Daddy!"

"Hi, baby.." Brian kissed her cheek and avert his eyes down when Alex too hug his waist. He caresses his hair and says,

"Well, Alex..today your butler reporting to me and he will be at your service from today on." Brian then signals Jamal who still standing outside of the bedroom to come in.

Alex frowned before he looked at Lily. Confused to why he had a butler now? And when Jamal entered the room, Lily's eyes grew wider.

"Huh? Why Alex got a butler and I didn't?" Lily looked up at her father. Feeling a bit unfair since Alex got a handsome butler.

Smiling, Brian touches her tips of the nose. "You don't need a butler. You have all my men around you." And Lily pout for that reason.

Kneeling with one knee on the floor, Jamal lowered his head with one of his hands on his chest. "Young master Alex, I'm at your service."

Alex startled and blink his eyes a few times before he looked back at Brian. "Erm..why uncle Jay is here?"

Scratching his head a little, he tries to explain to him and Alex nods his head afterward. It was his father's request to place uncle Jamal at his side. Maybe it was because he can't be at his side anymore? That thought somehow make him a bit sad and he tries to hide it with a smile on his face.

"So, uncle Jay gonna stay with us?" Alex asked and Brian nods his head.

"Yes, he'll be staying here and attend at your aid. So, be nice with uncle Jay and don't bully him, okay?" Brian put Lily down and both of them nod their heads. "Okay!"

Just after Brian gets out of the room, Jamal looks at them both. "So, what are you guys doing?" He asked cheerily and Lily tilt her head.

"Oh, do you mind if I being informal with you guys?" He asked again.

After both of them nod, they return back to the table and Jamal observes them from the side. And sometimes, he will join them to play too. Well, most of it is doing some quiz and memorization. He was amazed at how clever these two children.

'Well, probably because of their genes? Their parents both from reputable family aren't they?'

…

The next day,

Jamal knocked on Alex's bedroom door. He's ready with Alex's tux and bow tie to dress up the little guy and put him on a disguise. Today's is Raymond's wedding day and they have to go to New York before noon as the matrimonial starts at 3 p.m.

When she wants to knock once again, he saw Luna passing by the hallway and he immediately calls out to her. "Uh...Luna?"

Luna turns around and looks at the man with a smile. "Yes, Jay. What is it?"

Jamal scrutinizes her attire and pressed his lips before he says, "Why aren't you getting ready too?" He thought that Luna will be going to the wedding too, but from her appearance wearing ripped jeans and her casual long sleeve t-shirt, he doubts that she will go like that, isn't she?

Chuckles, Luna shakes her head. "No, I'm going somewhere today. I have to catch a flight right now, so, we'll talk later, okay?" Luna tied up her wavy hair up and before she walks away, once again she turns around and says, "Uh, Jay...Please make sure that Alex did not make a scene at the wedding, alright? I'll be in trouble if he does that."

Jamal frowned. "Wait," He stopped her for a moment. "You still not open the box he gave you yet?" Jamal asked. This must the reason why she doesn't want to come to the wedding ceremony today.

Faintly smile, Luna shakes her head. "No. I don't think it's necessary now. Bye, Jay. Please take care of Alex until I return back." Luna runs downstairs and leaves Jamal dumbfounded in the hallway.

He had so many things he wants to talk to her, but she already fled away and when he wants to call her again, the door in front of him suddenly open. Alex rubbed his eyes with his finger and yawn.

"Uncle Jay…" He said and invite the man inside his bedroom.

Laying his tux and bow tie on the bed, he turns to the little guy who sat on the couch, looking so adorable with his half-asleep face.

"Um...Alex, do you know where's your mama going today?" He tries his luck to asked the little guy there.

Yawning, Alex nods his head. "Hmm..probably to her cabin house. Or maybe not.." He standing up and went to the bathroom. Ready to wash up and get ready for his father's important day.

"Cabin house?" Jamal murmurs and takes out his phone. Thought of telling Raymond, but then he stops his finger from typing any message. Feeling hesitate, he put back his phone in his pocket and tidy up Alex's bedroom.

Fifteen minutes later and Alex walks out from the bathroom with his bathrobe. Ready to be grooming by Jamal and wear his outfit for today.

…

A few hours later, New York City.

"Raymond, you're ready?" Harry knock on the door when he was asked to check on the groom. Since he had nothing else to do at the banquet, he volunteers to check on him.

Raymond turns to look at the man who stands at the door frame. He slightly nodded his head and Harry looks around him first before he closes the door. He strides to Raymond's side and leans his body on the glass window.

"Let me guess, pre-wedding-jitters?"

Raymond shakes his head. "Where's Sky? I need to see him." He averts his eyes back to the window glass. Looking at his reflection who's wearing a white tux and red bow tie. He really looks like a prince charming, except there's not a single smile on his face right now.

"He's.." Harry tilted his head a bit. He just remembers that he hasn't seen that child since this morning. Where that little guy could be right now?

"You know what, I gonna go and find him. And you have ten minutes before you have to go and walk at the aisle with your..uh...Sarah." He rolled his eyes without being caught by Raymond.

Raymond turns his body around, "Tell Sky, I count on him." He reminds Harry before he going out of the room. All Harry does is show him an 'ok' sign before leaving the room.

Raymond exhales while shutting his eyes for a second, "Please comes, Luna." He murmured slowly before he fixes his bow tie a bit and checks on the time on his wristwatch.

…

"Sky~" Harry call out Sky's name and walk down the hallway for almost five minutes and finally he found the little guy.

He wears his gray retro tailcoat and waxes his hair, really charming as a boy who only five years old but his brain is not.

"What do you want, Harry?" He asked and button up his suit.

"Hey..I'm your uncle, you should pronounce my name with a bit more respectful, okay?" He messes up his hair and the boy immediately slaps his hand.

"Tch! It takes time to do this." He glared at his uncle before fixing his hair afterward.

"What're you doing by the way? I haven't seen you since morning. Did you do something bad?" Harry starts to interrogate the boy.

He squinting his eyes. "You're not my dad, you know? Even though you may have the same face as him, but you had no authority to ask me like I was yours."

Harry chuckles and says again. "I just worry, because my niece is not a normal boy. He's a genius trapped inside that tiny body, who knows what you're doing while I wasn't looking at you."

Sky sighs while shakes his head. "What do you want?" Repeat the same question for a second time.

"Oh! Nothing, but, your uncle Raymond reminds you that uh..he count on you? What's that about?" Harry tilted his head a bit.

"Not your business, Un-cle Harry. Now..can you leave me alone?" He rolls his eyes and went inside the room to fetch something before he walkout and was followed by Harry.

"I just gonna guard you up." He states and follows the little guy.

"Why does your dad ask me to take care of you, urgh..and why does your dad had so many children?" He murmurs alone.
