Apocalypse Monster
Chapter 188: Filling the Happiness of a Lost Childhood
"Mother, is Dad back alive?"
Brianna looked down at Natan, she shook her head and replied, "Dad didn't come back alive. The world is now more monster, Dad chose not to return to look after Natan."
Natan was stunned with teary eyes, but she was also confused while scratching her head. "Natan doesn't remember anything, as far as Natan knows, Natan runs away from home when uncle and aunt take the inheritance and wants Natan to go to the orphanage. Natan brings a little money, takes the bus until it stops not knowing where, then rents the restroom by begging ..."
"There was a neighbor who always gave Nathan food and money. Natan worked on making crafts for pocket money .. but ... Natan forgot who the neighbor was ..." Nathan scratched his head in confusion.
"Natan's friends had parents, and Natan did not. They say people who don't have parents are wrong. Since there was no one to defend and no supporters, Natan's days were heavy ..."
Natan cried, she wiped her tears flowing down her cheeks.
Brianna felt a pain in her heart. He crouched down and hugged Natan back tightly. "Now there's Mom, I'm not gonna let that happen again."
Brianna let go slowly, wiping Nathan's tears. She kissed her little forehead, cheeks, nose and lips. If this was an adult Natan, there was no way he would do it, but since it was small, there was no problem as indeed he always gave a light peck.
"Mother will take Natan to meet with Mom's friend." Brianna held Natan and left reluctantly. Actually he didn't want to take her there, but he already promised ...
Natan sat on Brianna's arm and wrapped her hands around her neck. "Mother, Natan wants to see a monster."
Brianna pinched Natan's cheek. "After this, but don't cry when you see it."
Natan snorted coldly while turning her face away. "Natan is already great, there's no way Natan is afraid!"
Brianna laughed a little and was very happy to see this kind of Natan. He could have more power to hug or kiss her. "Good, fine. Mother's son is the best and the bravest."
Natan hugged Brianna back in the neck and was very spoiled. He did not even care about the gazes of everyone who saw him, as if they were all non-existent.
Yan Jing opened her mouth wide when she saw Natan. Ye Xiao Yi was also the same, even a whole egg could enter his mouth.
As for Liu Xinmei, she was breathing with gasps and muttered wildly, "Natan, Nathan, Natan, Natan, Natan, Natan ... Little nathan..."
Yan Jing hit the back of Liu Xinmei's head. "Remember, he's our chairman. Don't act insolent despite being small."
Liu Xinmei rubbed her painful head. "You know, right, I love her. But baby, I can't be with her."
Ye Xiao Yi tilted his head to look at Liu Xinmei, then looked at Natan before returning to Liu Xinmei. "But there's no progress? You used to be seen as a bitch, but in the near future she's starting to talk to you, maybe you'll have a chance later."
"May ..." Liu Xinmei bowed lethargic and left her place.
Yan Jing and Ye Xiao Yi looked at each other, then they both followed Liu Xinmei.
...
Brianna had already reached the backyard where there was a garden and a small gazebo there. The expanse of grass with flowers, shady trees with swings.
Natan jumped down and ran towards the swing cheerfully. But just as he wanted to reach for the swing, he heard people humming, he looked towards the gazebo where the source of the sound came from. Out of curiosity, he went there.
He saw that there was a woman wearing green clothes like leaves. As he continued to approach, he could see his appearance. Her hair was bright yellow, her eyes were blue like the sky, her tiny lips were pink. But what attracted the most attention, it was his pointed ears.
"Very pretty." Nathan says it unconsciously when he sees Ainsley sitting in the gazebo.
Ainsley smiled warmly as she looked at the incoming Natan. He patted the long bench beside him. "Are you able to sit by yourself or need help?"
Natan shook her head without answering, then attempted to sit down, but before being able to sit down with her own efforts, her body felt light. He looked back, saw Brianna who was lifting up and made him sit on the lap.
Natan tilted her head looking at Ainsley. "Aunt Ain .. le ... Ainsley?"
"Ohuk!" Brianna choked as she could barely hold back her laughter. He pressed his lips into a thin line, his body trembling as he tried to hold it.
Ainsley's face twitched. It must be admitted that he is old, but to be called “Bibi” by the man he likes, it is too painful. He stretched out his hand rubbing Nathan's head. "Don't call “Bibi”, call me “Kakak”."
Natan tilted her head while touching her own lips with her index finger. "But, Auntie is Mom's friend, so Natan should call Aunt “Bibi”."
Ainsley was speechless again. She begins to regret her actions which Brianna accepts offers to return Natan to her childhood even if it is only one day, but her mouth is too spicy, making her unable to bear it.
Brianna lifted one corner of her lips and snorted coldly, as if to say that “See my son, she thinks of you as an aunt, not a couple or whatever it is!”
Natan leaned on Brianna's body while swinging both her legs. He looked up at Brianna's face. "Mother, Natan wants to see a monster."
"Good." Brianna stood up while holding Natan. He went to a fairly wide expanse of grass, stomped his right foot and formed a magic circle underneath.
The magic circle shone with a bright blue light, and when the light disappeared, there was the cry of an eagle with a strong wind blowing.
Natan turned around and drowned her face in Brianna's chest to avoid her eyes from entering the dust. Then he turned around when the wind was no longer blowing, but just looking, he turned back and drowned his face in Brianna's chest. "Mother ..."
Brianna chuckled at Nathan who was trembling with fear. "Natan said Natan was brave, but seeing this alone was afraid."
Natan stunned. He looked up at Brianna in annoyance as tears drenched his face. But when he came back to see the Sky Eagle, he was scared and hugged Brianna tightly.
Brianna chuckled, she liked this thing where Natan was not like before who was fearless and carried the aura of a leader, but here Natan was very spoiled and adorable, like the little Natan he missed.
"So, where does Natan want to go now?"
Natan looked up, then tightly hugged Brianna's neck. "Wherever you come from with me."
Ainsley who was standing behind Brianna, did not expect to see a very spoiled Natan like this. He stretched out his hand, wiping Nathan's tears. "Don't cry."
Nathan held out his hand as if he wanted to reach Ainsley.
Ainsley was puzzled for a while, then she clasped Natan's hand and smiled warmly. "Your hands are tiny and soft."
Natan laughed adorable like a little baby. "Aunty's hand is also soft, Natan likes it."
Ainsley's smile froze when she heard it again, it really pissed her off, but she couldn't hit Natan.
Brianna looked back at Ainsley, then turned to look at the Sky Eagle. He waved his hand, making the Heavenly Eagle re-enter the magic circle. He asked Ainsley to let go of Natan's hand, then he took her to another place that was still around the Armonia Palace.
At first Brianna wanted to take Natan to the city, but she knew her son would definitely be very angry after returning to his original form, and she did not want that. Given that in the Armonia Palace there were only members of the Armonia Guild, he felt that it was the best.
Even if Natan was not angry when he was taken out of the Armonia Palace, but the views of everyone living in Longquan Mountain would change and no longer looked at Natan as the chairman. Brianna did not want that, because it could damage the image that Natan had built.
Although Brianna knows that they have absolute loyalty, it is not good to do so.
