The Royal Mark-Chapter 394: Talkative Son

"Mr. Chairman, can you keep this a secret? Please don’t tell my mommy that I sneaked out of daycare," Rocco pleaded while holding Chris’ hand in the elevator.

Chris smirked at how cute Rocco was. "So you sneaked out of daycare huh?"

"Uhm sort of. But not because I wanted to. I had to buy some food and you saw it."

"Your Mommy did not leave you with snacks?" Chris asked.

"She did, but my sisters ate everything. They are always hungry and eat like a wolf!" Rocco explained.

"Hahaha! What do you know about wolves?" Chris was amused and thought to himself, ’He is my son.’ Even though there’s a possibility that he is not. He totally understands why he is using Morgan instead of Jorgensen. Elsa really can’t remember her.

"I have a pet wolf. His name is Yakobo and he is strong!"

Chris fisted his other hand as his heart pounded after hearing his wolf’s name. Ever since he crossed the portal he had never heard from his wolf again. He felt so empty and lonely. He was thankful that Elandir followed months later or else he might have died of loneliness.

"Tell me more about your pet," Chris said to make Rocco comfortable around him and to gain his trust. He whispered to the guards to inform the daycare that he has the boy and to also call him when Elsa’s operation is done.

When they arrived in the cafeteria, he let Rocco choose what he wanted and also told him to order for his sisters. He was happy to meet him as soon as he started working in the hospital. He thought that he had to wait long before he could take a glimpse of his family but look at him now, casually chatting with his talkative son.

"Tell me about your sisters. Are they nice to you?" Chris asked.

"They are nice but sometimes annoying. They always follow me everywhere and cry over little things," Rocco revealed making Chris laugh.

"Girls are like that so you have to be patient with them. It is also good that they follow you everywhere so you can protect them, don’t you think?"

"My grandpa said the same thing. He told me that once we moved to the city, I would be the man of the house so I must be brave."

"What are the names of your sisters?"

"The oldest is Rosey, and the Daisy, she’s ten minutes younger than Rosey."

"Hahaha! You even know that? You are a smart boy."

"Yes, I am. My mom said that she named them Rosey and Daisy because in her dream we were camping with my dad and he gave her those flowers."

Chris frowned and his heart started beating fast, ’Could she somehow not lose her memories?’ he asked himself.

"Where is your Dad?" he asked to confirm his suspicion.

"I don’t know. My Mommy doesn’t know either. She and I had an accident when the twins were in her tummy and she completely forgot a lot of things. She can’t remember my father. She is still sad about it. I hope I won’t forget things like she did."

"Why do you say that she’s sad about it?" As he talks to his son, his curiosity grows bigger in bigger. If only he could run and go to Elsa right now he would.

"Sometimes, I see her cry at night. It makes me sad to see her cry. I hope my dad did not forget about my mom. But Grandpa said that he could be dead already because if he is not then he would have found us by now."

Chris’ heart was crushed into a million pieces. He wanted to hug his son and tell him that he was his father. That he is there and he is not dead. He wanted to tell him that there was not a single day that he didn’t think of them.

All he could think about day and night was them. He wanted to tell him that he missed them terribly and that he was sorry for not finding them sooner. But he can’t do that. If he introduces himself to Elsa, he will die and her memory will come back. She will be hurt and will cry more.

He would just bear the pain that he is feeling right now. It is better this way. Only he will get hurt and not his family.

"Mr. Chairman, thank you so much for the meal. I have to go back to daycare or else the nanny will get angry and she will tell my mom that I sneaked out," Rocco said.

"Let Mr. Chairman accompany you to the daycare and I will explain to the nanny what happened. She can’t get angry at the big boss right?"

Rocco chuckled and nodded. He stood up and quickly took Chris’ hand once more. Chris held his small hands tight but not too hard. If only he could hold his hand longer he would.

When they arrived at the daycare, the nanny was already informed by the guards and was expecting them.

Rocco immediately called Rosey and Daisy and introduced them to Chris.

Chris smiled and tried his best to control his emotions but deep inside he wanted to cry and scream. He was both happy and sad, the feeling was overwhelming.

’They got my hair and Elsa’s eyes. They are as beautiful as their mother,’ Chris thought. ’If Yakobo heard this, he would agree,’ his heart ached at the fact that no one would hear his thoughts anymore and no one would reply back.

"Mr. Chairman, would you like to play with us? It’s tea time and we made you some tea!" Rosey said with her tiny voice.

Chris’ heart was about to burst with happiness. He nodded and Daisy briskly pulled him to sit on the tiny table that they set up.

He stayed with his children as long as he could. But he knows that it would not take long before Elsa’s operation is done. Soon he would need to say goodbye to his children whom he did not see for a very long time.

’I hope someday, I get to hug you and tell you all how much I love you,’ Chris thought.
