Chapter 339 - Its Okay (1/2)
At Sy Mansion.
The next morning, the entire family was at the dining area of Sy mansion to eat together at breakfast.
”It's been a while since we all sat down here to eat together. I thought I would never see our long table with so many filled seats like this again.” Senior Sy commented with a smile.
Miley exchanged a meaningful gaze with Liam. Their father smiling like that after what happened last night was scarier.
”How about we skip work today and go out and have some fun together. It's been a while. Like let's play golf…” Miley suggested.
She looked at Lana and added, ”That is father's favorite sport and he really enjoys playing it with us. Do you play golf Lana?”
Lana shook her head and timidly answered, ”I honestly thought that playing golf is too easy a sport for me as I preferred extreme sports.”
Jorge laughed and said, ”Ah you're only saying that because you haven't tried it. I was like you at first until I became a laughing stock for them when I joined them playing it.”
”We'll see.” Lana answered with a smile.
”We can do it on weekends. Why would you all skip work today huh? Finish breakfast and go to work. Don't worry about me.” Senior Sy expressed with a reassuring smile.
Liam heaved a sigh then directly responded, ”Alright. Father is emotionally stronger now so I also think we don't need to look after him all round the day. He is soon going to have his grandchildren, so father will surely not do anything to scare us.”
Senior Sy laughed and said, ”You brat! Don't worry about me. Of course like you all I'm still in a daze after what happened last night. It's indeed not a good feeling and there's no point in hiding that.”
He looked at each of his children sitting in front of him and heaved a long deep sigh before saying, ”The pain is back but you are all my strength and my pillar of support… This pain is nothing when compared to the joy and fulfillment I have for having you guys with me…”
Miley could not help it as tears fell from her eyes. Lana started sniffing as well.
”Father, it's so early… Why are you making the girls cry.” Jorge complained as he sniffed and wiped her tears.
Senior Sy chuckled and said, ”you're the first to cry Jorge.”
Liam shook his head and chuckled. He was the only one not crying but deep in his heart, he appreciated and adored his father too much.
The breakfast ended with the family bantering and soon everyone left for work but they also decided to stay at Sy mansion for the time being.
Senior Sy heaved a long deep sigh as he watched his children leave. He stood up after making sure they all had left and walked to the bar area and grabbed a bottle of strong brandy. He wanted to get drunk and relax his raging mind since last night but he did not want to worry his children by showing his broken self in front of them.
He then thought that he would drink after they all left for work so that he would even get sober later before dinner. His children would not come to know about his broken state and he also will have collected his shattered heart.
Chelsy creased her forehead when she saw Senior Sy grabbed a bottle in his hand.
”Is he going to drink this early in the morning?” She murmured. She saw him leave and for some reason, Chelsy was worried so she quietly followed behind him.
