In the study of the Royal Palace in Brimmopolis.
Hansel Windsor, a bearded old man in his seventies, sat alone in his study with his eyes closed. Noone could tell if he was in the middle of contemplation or was simply napping.
Knock knock.
There was someone at the door. Following the two knocks on the wooden door of the study,someone entered the room. The sound of the person's footsteps echoed throughout the room.
Hansel Windsor opened his eye and said in an authoritative tone, "Didn't I say to let me have somepeace and not let anyone in?"
It wasn't until he opened his eyes did Hansel Windsor notice that the person that had entered theroom was not one of his National Guards but his wife, Camilla Quinn.novelbin
Camilla had brought a tray, on top of which sat a bowl of porridge and a small serving of creamcheese with sauteed mushroom.
She looked haggard, but still she forced herself to put on a smile, "Why, my darling? You havealready spent the whole day in the study alone, and now you are not happy to see me too?"
She put down her tray and uttered softly, "I know you're heartbroken about Wyatt's disappearance. Iam very troubled by it too, but you must take care of yourselves! There are still a lot of thingswaiting for you to take charge of!”
"You haven't eaten for the whole day so I've cooked some plain porridge for you. Just take a fewspoonful of it."
Hansel glanced at Camilla, "Just leave it here, and you can go now. I still need some time to myself.I will help myself to it once I'm hungry."
Camilla did not leave right away at his husband's request. She fidgeted for a while before letting herwords out, "You should know better than anyone that Nathan isn't the kind of person that will bringharm to our Wyatt..."
Hansel cut her off, "I'm too tired to talk about this now."
Camilla sighed and turned around to take her leave. When she exited the room, she closed thedoors to the study gently. Her hands lingered on the doorknob for a bit before she walked away.
Nighttime.
At Riverside Garden, Channing.
Nathan and Penny were having dinner with their family. Leah grinned at Nathan, "The saint at theShrine of Tenryu has looked at your stars and found that they're aligned! He said you guys are amatch made in heaven!"
Benson chuckled, "That's right, you are already one of ours. Even if he said you guys are a matchmade in hell, I will still give you Penny's hands in marriage."
Leah then followed on, "What we're trying to say is that we have talked about it and we agreed thatall of us should settle for a date for the wedding already. Do you any opinions, Nathan?"
Nathan smiled politely, "I have nothing else on my mind. Anything will do, Leah, as long as you guysand Penny are happy with it."
Leah announced in glee, "Then I shall go ahead and call the shots! Let's have the weddingceremony booked on the 9th of the coming month. According to my friends at the numerology
practice, the 9th of the coming month is a prosperous day that cannot be missed as it only comesby once every ten years.”
Nathan laughed, "Alright then! The 9th of next month it is! I will make sure to make the wedding abig one! Penny, I want you to be the happiest bride that ever lived on this world!"
Penny's face was flushing red with shyness as her eyes gleamed blissfully with anticipation.
Benson and Leah were also smiling from ear to ear, while Kylie and Frida glowed with envy.
Queenie cheered as she clapped her hands, "Yes! Papa and Mama are getting married!"
All of a sudden, someone knocked hard on the Smith's door.
Nathan's entire family quieted down in an instant. Frida immediately rose to her feet, 'Til get it."
Behind the doors stood Kenneth Greene and his team of subordinates all clad in black suits.
Frida saw the bunch of them and was taken aback. She stammered, "Sergeant Greene, why areyou here?"
Kenneth Greene took out a warrant and showed it to Frida. With a tone devoid of emotion, hespoke, "We are here to bring Nathan back to our quarters to help with an investigation." "Frida,what's going on?1 Nathan walked over with the rest of his family following closely behind.
Nathan was shocked to see Kenneth, "Sergeant Greene, you're here again?"
Kenneth put on a tone of formality, "Nathan, we now suspect that you are involved with thedisappearance of Wyatt Windsor. Please come with us to assist with the investigation."
Nathan wrinkled his brows slightly, "Are you guys arresting me?"
Kenneth Greene replied, "No, we are just taking you back to help with the investigation. Feel free tothink otherwise too."
"I have already consulted my superior about this and he had agreed with my decision."
Superior?
He's talking about the President!
Nathan nodded his head, "Alright, I'll go
with you.”
"But before I leave, can I have a word with my wife?”
Kenneth had yet to speak when his assistant Hendrix Wayne growled, "No!"
