Beautiful

Chapter 7

Beam's pov:

That night, i could barely get any sleep.

Hundreds of thoughts were running in my head.

And they were all confusing and creating so many questions.

He and Kit used to date in college...

But why did Kit try to act like be doesn't know him?

Did they have a messy break up?

Did Ming do something bad lesding to their break up?

I frowned at that question.

No.

That can't be possible.

I may not have known him for long but i can tell he's an honest and loyal person.

He wouldn't betray his partner.

That led me to my next question.

Why did he have a panic attack like that?

Just what kind of memories did Kit's presence trigger that made him break down and have a panic attack?

I rubbed my face with my palms groaning softly.

Dammit...

I can't think of a single possible answer to any of these questions.

The next morning, i woke up a little later than usual.

Thankfully i had finished up 90% of the work so things had eased up a lot now.

And since we don't have any major projects due anytime soon, we can relax for a few days.

I decided to bring the remaining work home since i can complete them easily without having to go to the office.

Fern had everything else handled so i could rest assured.

When i went to check on Ming, he was still sleeping soundly.

I decided not to disturb him and instead went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Ella still had school today so i also had to make her lunch.

I felt a tug on my trousers just as i was finishing up making breakfast.

Ella was standing there already dressed looking at me with a worried expression.

"P'Ming still sad?" She asked in a small voice.

I turned and knelt to match her eye level.

"He's sleeping now. Daddy will talk to him after he wakes up. I promise I'll make sure to find out why he's sad and make him happy again." I gripped her hands reassuringly.

She slowly nodded. "Ella don't like it when p'Ming or daddy is sad."

I smiled softly. "Sometimes there are things that make us sad. But if we work through them and if there are people who care about us with us, we can be happy again. And p'Ming has Ella and daddy with him."

A smiled formed on her face and she hummed in agreement. "We'll make him happy."

"Yup. Now let's eat. You need to go to school. Don't worry about him ok? Daddy will be here to take care of him." I got up.

She nodded again and went out of the kitchen.

When i got back after dropping her off at school, he was sitting on the couch in the living room staring out sliding doors.
