Hi guys, I enjoyed writing this chapter. I wanted to present it as my gift to all of you. Enjoy reading, everyone and please leave a comment.
I gazed at the Christmas decorations on the streets and shops while I was on my way home. I had been so busy with work that I had forgotten that it was already that time of the year. The maids had, fortunately, decorated the house while I was in France with the kids. It screamed Christmas now. I shook my head while looking at the dancing Santa in the entrance. I had never celebrated Christmas this extensively before. It all increased when the kids were born. The kids had already seen beautiful Christmas decorations in France. I had already explained to them what this holiday meant. They were happy when they saw Santa's sleigh and lights in the garden of their own house when we returned. All my companies got decorated at this time of year. It was just a way to bring some happiness to my employees' lives.
The kids were already asleep. I went to see if they were comfortable, then went to my room. I couldn't get the conversation that I had with Zavier out of my head. I could tell from the information that I had received from Triton that Zavier was pretentious. It was evident that he would do anything to get what he wanted. I had learned throughout the years that one shouldn't judge a book by its cover. I needed to investigate the man's character personally before casting him aside. I went to bed after taking a shower. The odd thing was that I dreamt about Zachariel that night.
I saw Zachariel elegantly walk towards me, then reach his hand out to me while smiling. Zachariel and I happened to be surrounded by Christmas trees and decorations. The dream wasn't relevant, so I forgot about it in the morning. I always woke up at six a.m. during the week. I liked to work out for an hour in my gym before going to work. I took a shower after exercising, then went to wake up the kids. It was a habit of mine to have breakfast with the children before leaving for work. Genevieve was already awake. She was quietly playing with her dolls on her Peppa pig couch. She jumped off the sofa when she noticed me. "Good morning, daddy!" yelled my daughter while running towards me.
I scooped Genevieve up, then uttered before placing a kiss on her cheek, "Good morning, baby girl." Genevieve giggled while hugging me tightly. Dominique and Jacques woke up when they heard the commotion. Jacques was not a morning child. He always woke up crying from his slumber. I placed Genevieve in her crib then picked up Jacques. My youngest son immediately stopped crying. Dominique had too much energy. He was already trying to climb out of his crib. Bertha quickly picked him up before he could hurt himself. I was already thinking of transitioning the kids into beds after the holidays were over.
I helped Bertha bathe and feed the children. The kids got engrossed in playing after breakfast was over. I went to get ready for work while they were busy. My driver called the house to notify me that my car was ready. I said goodbye to the kids, then left for work. Chance walked into my office as soon as I arrived at the headquarter. I knew that he was about to ask me something ridiculous when I saw him fiddle with his engagement ring. "I don't know who he's fooling by wearing it around his neck," I thought to myself. I shook my head when I heard him say, "Briac wants to know when he can meet his niece and nephews, Alexei."
