Chapter 108 - Is The King Ill?

Ch-107

Esther felt like a kid who was wearing the clothes of an elder. She couldn't help but frown at her dressing. She sighed loudly and descended the stairs as she made her way to the dining table and settled beside Reggie. All the time she didn't even look at Cyrus. She just acted like he never existed there. Cyrus smirked at her reaction. He sat beside Reggie and didn't show any expression of talking with her… at least for now. She needs to calm down first. If he wants to talk to her, it's not the right time.

After the 'peaceful' dinner… Esther went to Reggie's room to sleep. While she saw Cyrus entering her study, she felt peaceful. When she noticed Reggie was clean and neat, she just asked him to brush his teeth. After he came back from the bathroom, she turned off the lights and went to bed along with him. Cyrus was not working, he was just sitting and thinking about how he should make her grow feelings on her. 

Cyrus was mentally anguished when he couldn't think of anything that can make her stay here along with them. He wanted to ask someone. But Nicholas and Ben were too unreliable to ask, instead of giving suggestions they will ruin everything. Suddenly a light bulb glowed in his head. When he has google, why does he need to ask others? With the newfound spirit, he opened his laptop and started searching.

Cyrus searched four things. 

How to make a girl fall for you?

How to make a girl like you?

How to ask a girl out? 

How to get attention from a woman?

He took a notepad and started noting one by one. After writing all of them, he leaned back on his chair. After that, he took a handbook and sorted out the points he needs to implement for tomorrow. 

Tomorrow no matter what….. She will live with them completely. And Cyrus can have more chances to make her his woman! A cunning smile appeared on his face. He opened his drawer and secretly secured the book. Cyrus left the study and went to Reggie's room. Just like before, both mother and son hugged like a dumpling as they slept. A small smile formed on his face and joined them. As always Reggie was in the middle of them. Cyrus hugged both the mother and son into his arms and slept with a contented smile on his face.

Next-Day…

Esther woke up feeling a soft thing stuck to her. Slowly a small smile formed on her face, as she hugged the little softball into her embrace. As if on cue the little bun hugged her tighter, making them look inseparable. At the same time, Esther felt like choking when she felt something hard and heavy on her body. She opened her eyes and saw Cyrus's hand over them sleeping peacefully with his closed eyes. Esther noticed something abnormal in him. She observed and removed his hand forcefully. 

This Guy was acting! He wasn't asleep! Damn! 

She almost fell for his trick! 

Esther huffed and puffed at him as she tried to sit up but with the presence of the little bun in her hands, she couldn't do that. If Esther changes into a sitting position,  the little bun may wake up from his sleep. Esther continued to stay in a sleeping position as she glared at Cyrus. Infact, Cyrus slept soundly after so many years. If not for the 

"Goodmorning, my soon-to-be-wife," Cyrus said with an extremely sweet smile to her while hitting her with a cupid. 

Wait! Soon-to-be-wife?! 

Did she agree to become his wife? No! Never! He was too confident in his skills! Hmph!

But again….This man is too handsome when he smiles! She almost nose-bleed just by staring at him! But the next thing made her freeze in her spot. Cyrus bent down and kissed her forehead and then he kissed Reggie. Esther wants to scream and throw him out of the room, but with Reggie in her arms, she is controlled. But she threw him from the villa at least a thousand times in her brain. Cyrus smiled as he watched Esther who was smoking invisible red smoke from her ears and nose. He turned back and winked at her before entering the bathroom. 

Again! Esther was stuck with a cupid! 

Damn! What's with this man today? He used to be reserved, but now he was so shameless and open! 

Cyrus freshened up and left the room leaving it for both mother and son. He ran to his study and took out his treasure! 

Cough….. 

His treasure was… the handbook that he stored in his draw! He ticked the first box which has the word shameless. 

------------

Mini flashback… 

A few hours ago…

Cyrus gave a last look at the masterpiece he made. His masterpiece was none other than the checklist that was made by him to woo Esther. The list consists of being shameless, saying his feelings out, looking more handsome in front of her, being confident in front of her, and so on…. And the last one was seducing her! 

Cyrus smiled as he ticked the first one. 

[Cyrus! Take one by one! You will get her surely! Fighting!] He encouraged himself. 

[Now! Time to look handsome!] he thought and went to his room. 

Cyrus took a shower and drowned himself in the jasmine flavored scent. He combed his hair back as he made his facial features more prominent. He looked himself in the mirror for one last time before wondering, [Maybe I should use a bit of man's makeup products to make me look beautiful…] He thought hard about it and decided to get Ben some makeup products. 

Mini-flashback-ends….

-----------------------

Last night he watched a few movie clips on how a sexy man should behave and walk. He picked one best clip and decided to implement it. 

Cyrus started descending the steps as he learned but….. Something was not right. 

"Is the king ill?" Maid Julie asked her sister, who was also a maid. 

"I guess so, Sister! Maybe he twisted his leg. Shall we give him medicine?" Maid Jessie said. 

"Nope! Let's make our Queen hand him the medicine!" Maid Julie said. 

"Maybe we shouldn't delay it! He is walking very weirdly. We should rush!" the ever-fan girl Rose said with her high spirit. 

Cyrus who heard their conversation felt like a bucket of cold water was poured on his head. It's a good thing that Esther didn't see it. Cyrus wanted to thank the maids that his walking style was weird…. But he can't just go and say that 'Hello maids! I heard your conversation from upstairs while you're talking in the kitchen. Thanks for your help!' 

Sigh…. 

But it's best again. 

He took his phone and checked the site that he opened last night. He saw a line that he ignored. 

"BE YOURSELF!" 

My God! How could he ignore this!? Cyrus took his handbook and added the column be yourself in it. Only then he was relieved. 

Cyrus almost lost his dignity in front of Esther. Thank God! 

Cyrus walked back in his walking style just like a kind. 

"My maid Sisters! We saw it wrong just now! King is fine!" Maid Rose said as she cheered. The other two maids smiled at her and started arranging the dining table seeing Cyrus was coming down. 

Maid Rose went to Cyrus like a tortoise and bowed her head in front of him as she said, "King, Shall I wake little Prince?" 

Cyrus was about to say 'YES' as usual but he just remembered that his wife was sleeping with him. "No need, When they wake up hit up the food again for them. And ask Ben to invite the doctor to check him again," Cyrus said. 

"You may leave!" he added. 

Rose bowed her head and left. 

"Sisters, do you know? King is gentle today! With the presence of the Queen, King is so calm and not angry. IF he was like this….. In no time, my-soon-to-be-queen will be queen and we can have a little prince." Maid Rose said. 

"Yesh!" the other fangirl maids said as the three of them went to the dreamland.

Meanwhile…. 

Esther hugged Reggie in her arms. The little guy slept for a long time in her arms, and Esther slept. They woke up when it was 10 A.M. Reggie saw Esther was sleeping, he slowly got up and kissed her forehead before he got off from the bed. Just like father, he kissed her sneakily. After kissing her Reggie ran into the bathroom and leaned on the door after closing. A contented smile formed on his little face. He kissed mommy! 

Awww

He wants that daily! 

Reggie freshened up only to see Esther going to the guest room to freshen up. By the time Reggie reached the dining table, Esther came out wearing female clothes.

Esther woke to sense the movements on the bed. She chuckled at her son's reaction. He was such a cutie. Seeing him using the bathroom, she went to the guest room to freshen up. She wanted to go inside and help her son to brush his teeth but remembering his kiss and the way he ran away made her smile. She doesn't want to embarrass him. Esther went to the guestroom. When she was just about to close the door, Maid Jessi called her. 

"My Lady, Your clothes," Jessie said with a big smile as she handed a bag. 

"Thank you, someone, from my home brought these?" Esther asked as she checked the clothes. 

"Milady, King ordered me to go to Benjamin's place to get your clothes! This bag includes all your daily necessities and your clothes." Jessie. 

"Thank you," Esther said again, making Jessie blush again.
