Adversity

II

A week later, Type came to Guntithanon's mansion to drop off Charlie and Techno. Charlie still had a hard time adjusting in new life so Type didn't wish to leave him alone. Gulzhanat welcomed Type as she was playing with Twins along with Rob.

"Another tiny human!!" Rob shouted in excitement as he circled around Charlie who was surprised to see a robot

"Is this Charlie?" Gulzhanat asked in curiosity as she watched Charlie hugging Type's leg who was carrying hyper Techno. He placed Techno down and the toddler rushed to Gulzhanat.

Gulzhanat laughs as she picks up Techno, blows him kisses, Type takes the seat and Charlie sits next to him, "Swadee Khrap, my name is Charlie..." Charlie introduced himself with serious look on his face which surprised Gulzhanat

"Swadee, Charlie! You can call me grandma! Are you hungry? Want cookies and hot chocolate?" Gulzhanat asked gently as she looked at Charlie.

Charlie's eyes light up but then he looks at Type who smiles, "Mom makes the best cookies, why don't you follow Rob?"

"Yes! Yes! Rob will feed tiny humans! Come! Come! Rob will make noodles too!" Rob said excitedly as he stood close to Charlie. Charlie hesitated but then followed Rob to the kitchen.

Type picks up Saint who started blabbing seeing his uncle while Techno tried to make Tin smile, "Where's Tine and Phukong?"

"At the mall, I went to buy new baby clothes and other items..." Gulzhanat replies calmly

"And you're not scared?" Type asked in curiosity

"I'm used to it, those two might end up buying the whole mall or warehouse..." Gulzhanat said thoughtfully before looking at Type, "Will Monarchy accept your decision of having Charlie as successor?"

Type sighs as he pats Techno's hair, "They are already offended that I lied about Techno being Alpha, they don't want to wait and want us to at least have a candidate in case Man and I didn't have another child or the child be omega..." He explains

"And you're fine with it? Don't force yourself to take care of others if you don't want to..." Gulzhanat advises Type who looks up and smiles

"Before meeting Charlie, I had the same thought but now I feel I'm fine with Charlie being with us. That child lost his parents, he needed someone to love and care for him. We will get our successor too plus Techno will have an older brother to look after him.."

"And what if you and Man have another child and he's alpha? I don't want you to end up ignoring Charlie because you have your true heir! That would be cruel.." Gulzhanat said in serious voice

"Man and I already discussed it, mom. In case we had another child, we aren't gonna directly make him the heir Unless he proves that he's worth it or if Charlie doesn't wish to be King. Our successor is going to be Charlie alone..."

"Hm, good that you both talked about it. All the best for today.." Gulzhanat wishes Type who took a deep breath and nodded

"Take care of them, I will return as soon as the meeting is over..." Type told Gulzhanat who smiled in response. Type kisses Techno's forehead and then went to kitchen to find Charlie

"Charlie! Phee needs to go now. Be a good boy and tell grandma if you need anything, okay?" Type instructed Charlie while cleaning the cookie's crumbs, Charlie nodded and hugged Type before grabbing another cookie. Type smiles and kisses his forehead before saying bye to Rob.

            An hour later, Tine and Phukong returned with Sky and Rain, "Mom!! We need money!" Tine screamed as he sat down. Gulzhanat just put twins to sleep and comes down with Techno
