Chapter 430 - Wonderful Day! (1/2)

The next day.

It's dinner time. As usual, Abigail brought her brother's food from the canteen.

Adam and Zain eat dinner together while Abigail watched her brother with amusement in her eyes. Her brothers would surely be amazed when their parents would join them in the card game later. She wanted to surprise her brothers that's why she didn't inform them about her plan.

After the brothers finished devouring their meals, Abigail exited the room to return the dishes to the canteen.

Done depositing the dishes into the canteen she went to her mother's study room.

”Mom, are you ready? Where is Father?” Abigail asked when she can't find her father inside.

”He will be coming anytime soon. Don't worry he will join us in the game,” Queen Margaret said. ”Why don't you go back there first and start playing the game with your brothers?” she suggested.

Abigail smiled. ”Alright, Mom. I'll go ahead!” she replied energetically, then exited the study room.

In the prison room.

Abigail specifically requested from his brother that they're going to play card games today. The brothers agreed on one condition that they only have to play for one hour.

They were already playing for thirty minutes and Abigail was worrying why her parents haven't arrived yet?

Back in the study room.

Queen Margaret waited patiently for her husband's presence.

Ten minutes later the king finally arrived.

”Where have you been, my King?” the queen asked.

”I just come back from the underground core,” he replied and sat on the sofa.

”Let's go now to the prison room. The children are playing a fun game, we should join them. This will be our family bonding. It is one way of showing to our children that we are willing to bond with them. Besides, it's been a while since we're able to bond together as one family. I'm sure we will enjoy the experience!” Queen Margaret said.

”This better be good, my Queen!” King Antone said.

”Of course!” Queen Margaret smiled sweetly and excitedly grabbed her husband's arms.

”We're here kids!” the couple gleefully announced their arrival to their children. They immediately sank on the mattress and smiled at their children's surprised faces.

”Come on, give us our cards, son!” Queen Margaret ordered Adam, winking at him.

Zain was stupefied after seeing his parents inside the room. All of a sudden, the finally become a complete family, kind of a rare sighting. And occasions like this seldom happens in their family.

Adam immediately reshuffled the cards and explain to the newcomers the mechanics of the games.

They start the game from the very beginning.

Zain was keeping his silence within the few minutes of the game, but as time passes by and the game progresses he began to loosen up and laughed with everyone.

Merry laughter floated in the air.

The players were having a good time.

Five hours later.

The game finally ended as it's already time to rest.

Queen Margaret hugged her children one by one and thank them for a good time. ”I enjoyed the game, children. I hope we can do it again some other time,” she said, teary-eyed. ”You have no idea how happy I am that we were able to bond together like this after a long time,” she added feeling emotional.

King Antone hugged his eldest son, Zain. ”Welcome back, son. It's nice to see you smiling again,” he said, his mouth quivering with emotion.

Zain was stunned. It's the first time his father hugged him and showered him affection after a long time. He was speechless, tongue-tied and no words come out from his mouth.

Queen Margaret, King Antone, and Abigail rose to their feet preparing to leave the room.

”Bye guys!” they said in unison.

”Bye Mom, bye Dad!” Adam responded.

Zain was still speechless. What did just happen?

The trio left the room.

A deafening silence enveloped the room.

While Zain sat down on the bed and was left in a state of disbelief. They just have a family bonding earlier! And he admitted to himself that it was fun! His father and mother didn't even complain that their body parts were hilariously covered with the pen markers. They just throw themselves into the game and laughed their hearts out.

So far, it was the happiest bonding that he can ever remember together with his family. They just laughed at each other like children.

He wanted to cry because he was overwhelmed with emotion.
