White Tulips and Daisies

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Build woke up, squinted his eyes because the sunlight chose to rise on his face. He forgot to close the curtain last night due to immense anger. He rolled on the bed, only to find out he was alone. He looked at the clock. It's almost eight in the morning. He quickly washed up and went down. He went to the kitchen and found Aunt Praya done with cooking breakfast.

"Good morning, Auntie."

"Oh. You're awake. Blue is about to wake you up." Aunt Praya placed some dishes on the countertop.

"Where is he?" He asked.

Right then, Blue entered the kitchen followed by Wichapas. They locked gazes, making Build blush.

"Good morning." Wichapas greeted.

Build looked away before greeting back.

"Papa, I went to our room. You're not there." He ran to his Papa and asked to be carried. "Papa, I woke up today and this hurts." Blue pointed to his forehead. Build immediately understood the kid. His head is aching.

Build quickly felt his forehead to see if he have a fever. To Build's relief, his temperature is normal. "Let's eat then you'll drink medicine for the headache, okay?"

The kid nods.

"Go with Daddy at the table. We'll follow." Build instructed Blue and the kid complied.

Aunt Praya placed the dishes on the dining table. Build placed a cup of coffee in front of Wichapas, making the man look at him with a small smile. Build ignored it. Wichapas settled Blue in between him and Build's seat. When done, they all sat for breakfast.

"Where is Prem?" Aunt Praya asked.

"He left first. He has something to finish." Wichapas said while assisting Blue in eating.

"Let me handle him. You have to go to work. You need to eat." Build got the spoon on Wichapas' hand. He thought that Wichapas might not be able to eat well before going to work.

The breakfast went well. Wichapas left for work. Blue still has a headache until the afternoon. The kid's mood drops gradually. Build cuddled Blue on the couch when Aunt Praya approached.

"Build, my daughter called me and she is in the city. Is it okay if I meet her today?"

"Auntie, you don't have to ask for permission. Do you want me to go with you?" Build offered.

"No. Blue is not feeling well. I'll be fine alone. I'll be back before dinner." Aunt Praya smiled at him.

"You don't have to be in a hurry. Stay with her for as long as you want. I'll ask Brent to accompany you."

The woman didn't argue. She knows that all of them are not in a safe situation so she didn't decline the offer. She went to her room to change. Build called Brent and in an instant the man came in.

"Uncle Two, my head is aching." Blue faintly said, still cuddled in his father's arms.

Build smiled at his son. He calls Harris Uncle One and Brent as Uncle Two. Build tried correcting this but Blue didn't want to call them by their names. So he settled for those nicknames. The bodyguard seems not offended about it. In fact, they always smile when they talk to Blue. But other than that, they always have serious and calm expressions.

"Did you drink medicine already?" The man asked.

Blue nods. "It tastes awful."

Brent smiled. "It's fine. It's to make you feel better." Brent looked at Build. "Do you need anything, Khun?"

"Auntie is going out. Can you accompany her?"

"Of course." Brent said and asked permission to leave to get the car ready.
