Chapter 332: No welcome???

To say that Cecily and Mega were not worried as they waited for Scarlet and Esong to return would be miniscule. The two women were waiting in the lobby by the gates, anxiously waiting for the return of those who travelled.

Mega, with Illa in her arms paced around, which made the baby girl anxious too that she sniveled every once in a while and Cecily kept crossing and uncrossing her legs, or flattening her dress as if it was not neat enough.

As soon as they saw Scarlet and Justin, they sighed in relief.

Justin was sleeping, that could not be denied because his entire body was slugged, his feet were dangling and his head was thrown over his mother’s shoulders.

Still, even before greeting Scarlet or welcoming her back, both mothers women were drawn to Justin, immediately.

"Give him to me, I will put him to bed." Cecily said.

"Poor baby, he must be very exhausted. Why did you have to drag my grandson to that place?" Mega complained.

"Mother, you saw how much he cried when I tried to leave him behind. If you were me, would you simply leave if I was crying out of mind for you?" Scarlet replied.

"If I was going to an unknown place, yes." Mega answered bluntly.

Mother and daughter were walking slowly as they followed after Cecily who was walking faster than them. She was moving swiftly like a woman on a mission.

"Has he had something to eat?" Mega asked her.

"We were fed on the Grey star, he is probably sleeping because he had a big serving of millet porridge. He always sleeps when he eats porridge, it works faster than any bedtime story or lullaby." She stopped walking and said, "But, mom, how come you haven’t welcomed me back. Aren’t you glad to see me or is Justin the only one you love?"

Mega rolled her eyes and continued walking, as quickly as she could, to get away from Scarlet.

"Mom," Scarlet run after her, calling her in a whiny voice. "Wait for me, mom."

Mega turned around, pointed at Scarlet and said, "When I told you not to go you said you had political duties to fulfill and that you are a grown woman that can travel as you wish. Should I be excited to see a grown woman that has returned after travelling of her own volition."

Illa sniveled and Mega looked down at the baby, and she rocked her slowly.

"Why is she so fussy today?" she asked herself.

"Maybe she is sick." Scarlet suggested.

She sent some energy Illa’s way and the baby calmed down and fell asleep. It crossed Scarlet’s mind then that she did have another way of putting Justin to sleep quickly. Soul energy, sleeping pills from the underworld and cartoons.

"Mom.." she said, and before she could say more, she smelled Adler’s cologne and she was carried up and swung around.

While he did this, Adler roared deeply as one would when they were swinging an infant around while Scarlet giggled and laughed.

"You!! put her down." Mega shouted at Adler.

He put Scarlet down and gave their mother a questioning gaze.

"Your sister is a married lady governor, please both of you should stop acting in public like you did when she was five years old. What if someone captures a picture of this...." Mega’s hand moved up and down, waving as she failed to describe the playful nature of their behavior accurately.

Batting her eyes, with a smile in her face, Scarlet said, "But mother, he is my brother, there is nothing wrong with my brother welcoming me home after the long journey I have just returned from. At least someone is welcoming me." she mumbled the last words out as if she was chewing something hot that filled her entire mouth.

"What did you say?" Mega questioned her.

As she moved toward Scarlet, Adler planted himself of her protectively and said, "Mother, it will be even worse when someone sees you shouting like this. What if they record it and say that the governor’s mother is hot tempered."

Mega looked around the lobby on the first floor of the castle and she lowered her finger which was pointing at both siblings.

"You.., you..., you are both lucky that Illa is sleeping and I must put her to bed. You better be on your best behavior. Don’t let me catch you misbehaving."

Brother and sister watched their mother walking away and as soon as she disappeared from their sight, they started laughing.

"Our mother is very amusing." Adler said.

"Sometimes she treats us more like children than adults." Scarlet said.

Adler escorted up to her wing slowly, with his hand around her shoulder.

"How was your trip?" he asked her.

"Productive." she answered.

"That’s good," he said. "Did your husband protect you well?"

She slapped him in the abdomen and said, "I am not some helpless damsel that needs saving. I can protect myself very well brother but yes he did protect me."

In her mind, she thought, ’From Lancaster’s hands.’

"Were you really fired by BSTV?" he asked her.

"Where did you hear that bull?" she asked him.

He knew that bull was her short form for bull shit, or anything that made no sense.

"Carolyn." he told her.

"Oh lord!! why is she running her mouth and spreading false information. I told Mr. Rodney that he could put other chefs on because I have other duties. Amara is leaving tomorrow." She switched from her own topic to his.

"I heard." he answered.

"I hear that she is asking to see you." she told him.

She stopped by the door of the living room and looked at him, waiting to hear his answer to that.

"I have no plans of seeing her, she hurt you, and that sealed the coffin permanently on us." he told her.

"What about Arya?" she asked.

He raised one eyebrow and smiled but shook his head. "Mmm, hmm, hmm, nice try but I won’t be sharing any information with you about anything. Besides, it’s not as if there is much to share anyway, she and I are friends. I have work to do so goodnight little sister, I will see you tomorrow."

He turned around to leave, recalled something and turned around. "Oh, your food flask."

She delivered breakfast or lunch to him daily and he would return the flask to her every night. Sometimes when he could not make it, he sent his assistant or his maid.

"Goodnight brother." she told him.

She went to her bedroom, took a bath and went to bed immediately. Esong would be training in a virtual simulation for the larger part of the night and she was too tired to go soul hunting.

She did check the underworld forum to see if Maddox had contacted her and there was nothing. The woman was very rare, almost as if she didn’t exist.

As for the rest of the journal, it was mostly filled with angry thoughts, regrets, and names of those who offended his family. The useful information she could get from it had dwindled and she planned to pass the journal on to his sister. With those thoughts on her mind, she fell asleep very quickly.
