Chapter 373 - Absolute Delight (2/2)

”Now that's settled. Let's go to the cashier's section and pay for our grocery then we will find a good restaurant because I am starving,” she grinned while massaging her tummy.

They went to the cashier's section and paid their purchases. They temporarily left their shopping bags in the baggage section of the grocery store and went to find a restaurant that can satisfy their hunger.

The trio found themselves inside a burger fast food restaurant for a quick bite of burger, french fries, and spicy fried chicken.

A few minutes later they returned home with a full stomach. Jessy and Adam left Caden alone to put all their purchases in the fridge while they teleported into the facility.

A minute later.

The couple landed inside Jessy's room in the Facility.

”I will go now to the clinic to resume blood transfusion,” Jessy said.

”Okay, I will go to the study room to asked my mother's permission,” Adam said.

The couple shared a wet kiss before they went their separate ways.

Adam teleported inside the study room.

”Son!” Queen Margaret quickly stood up and rushed to her son's side.

Adam hugged her mother while Princess Abigail was watching them with a smiling face.

”Nice to see you again, son. You should visit us here often,” the queen said gazing fondly at her son's face.

”Don't worry Mom, soon I will be staying here in the Facility for a longer time. That will be coming soon,” he said.

”Brother! Something tells me that you are here to bring me a piece of good news,” Abigail said guessing wildly.

”You are right sister dear,” he fondly messed up his sister's hair.

”Tell me what is it!?” Princess Abigail can't contain her excitement.

Adam shifted his attention to his mother. ”Mom, I'm here to ask your permission. Jessy, her family and I will be going to the mansion tomorrow we will be having a picnic in the lake, I would like to bring my sister with me...”

Queen Margaret watched the expectant faces of her children for a few minutes.

”Mom, say yes please!” Princess Abigail begged with puppy dog eyes.

Queen Margaret finally relented and smiled at her children. ”Very well, enjoy the picnic tomorrow!” she said.

Princess Abigail shrieked and hugged her mother in delight. ”Yessss! Thank you so much, Mom!”

”Take care of your sister, Adam!” the queen reminded her son sternly.

”Of course, Mom, I will!” Adam replied quickly wanting to get rid of his mother's worries.

”Brother, what I'm going to bring with me to the picnic?” Princess Abigail latched to her older brother's arms, her face brimming with excitement.

”If you want to swim in the lake, bring some clothes for swimming,” Adam replied. ”If you don't have one, no problem, Jessy will provide you a swimming attire,” he said.

Queen Margaret watched as her two children were busy discussing the picnic. Her mind wandered to her other son, Zain, that is until now remained stubborn in mind and heart. She was longing for the day that Zain will finally be able to join his siblings without anger and resentment in his heart. Would it happen one day? she asked in her mind.

Adam saw his mother's gloomy face. ”What's wrong, Mom?” he asked worriedly. ”Why are you wearing a sad expression on your face?”

Queen Margaret released a deep sigh. ”It's nothing...”

”Please tell me, Mom? What is it that makes you sad?” he asked urgently.

Queen Margaret took a deep breath. ”I'm just thinking of your older brother Zain. I wish one day he will get over his resentment and come back to us with a new outlook in life. I dunno if the day will come that we can finally enjoy his presence here with us every day,” there was a wistful longing in her voice.

Adam sighed. ”Don't worry, Mom. We will get my brother back from the dark. It will take some time, but definitely, it's on my mind, I will do something about it,” he said.

Queen Margaret looked at her son's worried face. Deep in her heart, she knows that it looks impossible for her two sons to return to their normal sibling relationship because of Jessy. But being a mother she was still hoping Zain can learn to accept the fact that Jessy's heart does not belong to him. She can only hope and wish for a perfect solution for their dilemma one day. ”Don't mind me, children, continue discussing the picnic,” she said to her children.

Adam and Princess Abigail resumed their animated conversation.
