Our New Life Together

Chapter 25 : Got Caught Red Handed

Third Person's P. O. V :

- A few hours before Albert and Mycroft came back -

When Albert went inside the forest with a little stalker behnd him, John was on the shore, sitting on a blanket after swimming to dry himself off while, eating some crackers with Louis, who was serving him some of his homemade tea. Sherlock and Billy were still in the water and were at the bottom of the river to see who can breathe under water longer between them so far, neither of the two have come up yet meaning they could still breathe, well it was just five minutes ago that they started the game, William on the other hand, was reading a book beside John while, occasionally also eating the crackers and drinking Louis' homemade tea.

After 7 minutes, Sherlock and Billy both gasped for air at the same time so no one won sadly, for them maybe but, to him and the people who were watching it was rather amusing. Then, the two decided to swam back to the shore and dry themselves off and ate alongside William, John and Louis. Only then did John noticed that Albert was nowhere to be seen along with Mycroft. Moran and the other servants were all cleaning up their mess back at the fields so he wasn't here but, seeing that Albert and Mycroft were not here at the same time was rather suspicious and odd.

Something's up... John thought inside his mind while, trying to find where Albert and Mycroft were.

But John immediately thought that maybe they just went out for a walk in the forest together, he shrugged and dismiss the thought since it really didn't concern him much and so, he continued to eat the snacks with the other four boys.

"John, what's wrong?" Louis asked him worriedly when he noticed that John was in a daze just awhile ago.

John turned his head at him and saw the worried look in Louis' beautiful red eyes, he smiled then, he gently patted Louis' head.

"It's nothing, don't worry." He reassured him with a warm smile.

Louis blushed at the sight and nodded his head slowly. John patted his head again. Then, their servants came back and announced that they have finished cleaning up and joined the rest of them to sit on the shore. The sun was slowly setting. It was a beautiful sight, the wind was gently blowing, the grass and the flowers were all dancing with one another, the sky was in a bright orange hue, the atmosphere was very warm aswell. It was quiet but, was comfortable.

Then, Adele noticed that one of her children weren't here and got worried. Albert's kidnapping incident really gave her a fright and whenever she notices that one of her children were not around, she would instantly get worried and started panicking.

"Dear." She called her husband.

"Yes?" Willford asked then, looked at her pale complexion and got worried for her.

"Honey?! Why are you all pale?!" He asked her worriedly.

Willford was always worried for his wife since, she is very fragile, after all, she had always had a weak constitution and often times she gets sick easily so, he was really worried for her. This made everyone to look at them. William and Louis immediately ran to their Mother's side after seeing her complexion and patted her back gently, Adele gradually calmed down.

"I'm fine." She said with a smile that didn't reach her ears.

"Are you sure?" Willford asked her again seeing how uneasy she still was.

"Yes." She said lowly then, she turned her head towards her two other sons.

"Boys." She called her two sons.
