Xander frowned when he didn’t see his son on the breakfast table. Alexander used to appear on the dining table before his father. But today he wasn’t present making Xander confused.

“Where is Alex” He questioned the maid who answered him still looking down clearly afraid to look up in his eyes.

“Young Master didn’t wake up yet.” Xander frowned and concern filled his veins as he shot up from his seat making his way towards his son’s room.

He was worried about what if Alex got sick because when he’s sick he sleeps this much. Alexander always wakes up earlier and sometimes he doesn’t even take proper sleep which concerns Xander.

He opened the door of his son’s room and instantly stiffen on his spot. He felt his insides flared up at the beautiful sight in front of him. He never thought he will witness something like this again.

Alexander’s whole body was shoved deeper into Amelia’s embrace. Her arms were under the Lil guy holding him near her. His face was buried in her neck and small arms were wrapped around her tiny waist.

They were looking like mother and son.

Xander took few steps closer to the bed. Even though they were two bodies but as they are entangled together so they were occupying a small space in the middle of the king-sized bed.

He gently placed his palm on his son’s forehead sitting on the bed and sighed in relief when he felt his temperature normal but then again if he wasn’t sick then why wasn’t he waking up.

His icy orbs went to his wife’s face who was breathing slowly and steadily. He without realizing stared at her beautiful face without any hardness holding in his eyes.

Unconsciously he started inspecting her features. Her beautiful grey spheres were now closed. Her wide eyelashes. Her brown hair scattered on the pillow while her shirt was slid off her shoulders giving a proper view of her milky collarbone and neck.

He gulped and instantly snapped out of his not so innocent thoughts when he heard his son’s whimper. Before he knew anything Amelia’s eyes fluttered open and met his.

Even though he wasn’t much closer to her but still he was sitting on the bed and Amelia was still not used to his presence.

She was about to shot up from the bed but stopped when she felt Alex snuggling in her neck more. She looked down at the Lil guy and smiled a little when he opened his green eyes.

He smiled widely. “Angel.” He jumped on her earning a huff from her making her back to hit the bed as he was fully above her. Xander blankly stared at his son shaking his head.

Alex again laid on Amelia and turned his head witnessing his father sitting on the bed looking at him.

“Dad.” He instantly jumped on his father leaving Amelia. Xander caught him in his muscular arms squeezing him as his son hugged him tightly.

“Dad you know I slept so well last night.” Xander’s lips curved into a small smile when he heard his son’s raspy morning voice.

“That’s good son. Now get up. You’re already late for your school. Dad will drop you today hmm.” Alexander giggled happily before jumping off the bed and running towards the bathroom.

Amelia was surprised to see Alexander doing his work on his own. He was almost seven years old but still even at this age some children whine for the elders to ready them for school.

But Alexander has always been doing his work himself. He was a genius in studies but an introvert. He doesn’t like the crowd or making friends. He likes to keep his self distance and privacy.

Because of this habit of his, he was often bullied in his school but he never really paid heed to it. Xander was proud of his son for being so responsible even at so early age but he forgot to see the reason behind it.

Amelia saw everything at how Alexander got ready on his own he even wore his tie when grown-up men like Liam don’t know how to. Yes, Liam never wore his tie Amelia or his sister used to help him with it.

But Alexander left Amelia surprised at how perfectly he got ready in just 20 minutes. But she didn’t fail to notice the efforts and past pain behind all his success in getting these things.

She also did her morning routine and came down witnessing Alex eating breakfast. She didn’t change her clothes only settled them properly as her shirt’s button was opened while sleeping.

“Angel come. Eat breakfast.” Amelia smiled caressing his hair stiffening him. Xander frowned at Alexander’s frozen figure when Amelia caressed his hair.

“What happened Lil guy.” Alexander blinked multiple times settling a wide smile on his lips shaking his head.

“Nothing. I was just never this good before Angel. Thank you.” Amelia didn’t know what to say so she only smiled at him.

“Uhm I wish I could eat with you but your angel have some important work. So she has to go right now.” Alexander’s smile dropped down making Amelia to instantly take a seat beside him.

“You’re leaving me again right. You wouldn’t come back right.” Amelia shook her head placing a kiss on his forehead making him close his eyes at her caring touch.

“I will come back. Don’t worry I will not leave you again.” He opened his teary eyes as a small smile appeared on his plump lips.

“Promise.” She nodded her head before bringing a glass of milk near his lips.

“Promise.” He smiled drinking the milk from her hand shocking Xander and even the maid standing there.

Alexander hates when someone tries to feed him something. From the day he started to handle heavy things he stopped the maid from feeding him.

He even once broke the glass when his father tried feeding him as he was sick. Lil dude has a lot of temper. But Xander was shocked at how obediently he let Amelia feed him.

Alexander ran outside to reach his father’s car before kissing Amelia’s cheek. Xander was beyond happy seeing Alex going to school with so enthusiasm as he never went to school like this before.
