Chapter 216: It Will Be Crazy

He stepped down from the car and moved towards the entrance, then stepped in and shut the door behind him. A low breath exited his nose and he glanced around. "Mum!" He called out to her as he couldn't find her anywhere in the living room.

"Son..." Mrs. Robert's voice resounded as she strolled out of her room to the stairs. A wide smile emerged on her face on seeing Shawn, and without any hesitation, she hurried down to him and pulled him into a tight warm hug. "I missed you, son. Where have you been?" She examined his body and placed a soft kiss on his forehead. 

"I'm fine, mum. I just stayed this few days with a friend, that's all." Shawn smiled at her and she nodded with motherly love in her eyes. "Mum... can I talk to you for a moment?"

"Of course." Mrs. Robert nodded, and together they walked to sit down on the couch. A deep breath exited Shawn's nose, and he turned his head to face her, then interlocked his hands.

"Mum... I, um, I went to see... dad today." The moment the words fled Shawn's mouth, Mrs. Roberts' lashes fluttered and an unknown glint flashed in her eyes. "Why, son...?" She inquired in a very soft tone, and Shawn let out a low sigh. "I missed him. It's been so long since we last saw him and I felt like I was forgetting him. Like something very important in my life was missing, and it was him. I just couldn't help it."

"What happened was in no way his fault, and we blamed and threw him out of our lives. He just did what any father would have done, and I know that if he had seen that incident coming, he would never have grounded Linda, but he isn't God." A low breath exited his nose, and he brushed his eyes to wipe off the tears welling up in them. "We made a very big mistake, mum. What we did was definitely not what Linda would have wanted. We threw him out of our lives for eight good years without once throwing our pride to the back and visiting him or trying to work things out with him."

"I can't even begin to imagine the hatred he has for us now... I met him and called him Father, but...he told me to my face that he wasn't my father anymore and that I should never call him that. I felt really broken and hurt inside." He slightly shook his head in deep regret and turned to stare at his mother.

Mrs. Roberts' eyes blinked furiously, and she swallowed hard. She lowered her head in remorse and began to fiddle with her fingers. "Son, I am sorry."

"Sorry for what?" Shawn inquired in a bit of confusion, and Mrs. Robert grabbed his hands, then stared into his eyes. "I'm sorry for everything. For taking you away from your father and letting you experience all this. You were just a seventeen-year-old boy then who knew nothing, and as your mother, I took the wrong action, which resulted in all this. I am really sorry and I hope you will forgive me." She gazed at him with eyes that held hurtful tears, and he vigorously shook his head at her. "No mum, it isn't your fault. It is no one else's fault, not dad, not you. I know that you did what you did in a feat of rage and I would have done the same if I was in your shoes, so you don't have to be sorry." He smiled at her and pulled her into a warm hug. "I love you, mum."

"I am going to make everything right, son. And I will give you back the life you once had." Mrs. Robert patted him gently on the back and he nodded at her with diminutive tears falling from his eyes.

Seated downstairs in the living room with her eyes fixed on her phone, steady footsteps resounded, causing Leia to raise her head to glance at the entrance. 

Alex, who was carrying an ash-colored suitcase, walked in and dropped it on the mini table in front of her. He bowed respectfully to her, and she nodded before standing up from the couch. 

"Is that what I think it is?" She inquired immediately, with deep expectation in her eyes, and Alex grinned as he nodded his head. "It is what you think it is."

Leia's eyes fluttered in excitement, and she slowly moved to open the suitcase. She unlocked it and gradually opened it, revealing three sets of bombs within. "Holy shit!!! This is beautiful." She stared at it with glowing eyes, and a wide malicious grin emerged on her face.

"How dangerous is it?" She turned to Alex and asked, with excitement visible in her tone.

Alex smirked but uttered not a word, and Leia began to grin so widely, it looked a bit scary. "Hell yeah! I love this. You did a good job." She gave a thumbs up to him and he bowed a bit.

Leia rubbed her hands together in excitement as she stared at the sets of bombs with deadlines in her eyes. It will be crazy! It will be!

She closed the suitcase and locked it, then carried it to take it upstairs. 

"I will be taking my leave now. I have an unfinished job to finish." Alex smiled as he took a deep bow before turning around and leaving.

Leia made her way towards the elevator, which took her up to the second floor, and walked out when the door opened. She walked to her room and carefully pushed the suitcase under the bed, then clenched her hands together as she nodded her head in satisfaction. 

She glanced at the simple-looking watch clasped around her wrist and fluttered her eyes on seeing the time. 6:56 pm

Why the hell wasn't Adrik back yet? She immediately pulled out her phone and dialed his number, but he didn't pick it up. She tried the second time, and he picked it up on the third try.

[Leia, why are you calling me?]

A gasp instantly escaped Leia's throat, and she breathed heavily in shock. "You called me by my name. Why??? Are you mad at me? Did I do something wrong?" 

Adrik who heard her words fluttered his lashes in helplessness as he glanced at the businessmen who were staring at him with disbelief in their eyes. 

"Am not mad at you okay. Also, you did nothing wrong. But Little Wife, I am in the middle of a meeting, so please call me in two hours, okay." He gazed awkwardly at the businessmen as he said it.

[Oh...sorry. You know you didn't tell me you were going to have a me-"]

Adrik immediately cut the call as the awkwardness was becoming too much and cleared his throat. "Shall we continue?" He inquired without bothering to apologize for stopping the meeting. Why would he even apologize? It's not like he's the one that would be losing. Plus, he only apologizes to his little wife, no one else.

The businessmen slowly nodded their heads and he motioned for the middle-aged man who was explaining the ideas for the new product that would benefit their company, to continue.
