“I will always remember that, mom.”
Then, he walked back to the bed and gave Phil a hug too and apologized too. Afterward, he sat back on the bed and his father, who was still looking gloomy, requested, “Son.”
“Yes, father.”
“Promise us that you would not allow us to pass through the trouble you put us through today again.”
The bewildered Louis, who was not aware that he put his parents into any trouble, asked, “If I may ask, what trouble are you talking about, dad?”
“Check your phone. We called you several times, and you refused to pick.”
Now, Louis looked around for his phone and realized that his phone was not with him.
“Where is my phone?” He asked and got up from the bed, and Phil got up too. They lifted the pillows and discovered that his phone was not there. Then, his mother asked, “Are you convinced that you picked it from your office?”
He looked at her, but could not recall whether he picked his phone from his office or not. Then, his father asked, “Where is your system?”
Then Phil added, “And your car keys.”
At that moment, Louis dipped his hands into his pocket and pulled them out. Now his mother was upset, considering the risk he took by driving himself from Sevenoaks to Dover. Then, she reprimanded, “Louis, this risk is too much. I can see that you did not even know how you drove yourself to the house.”
“I apologize, mom.”
He responded casually, while still looking out for his car keys. Now, he began to walk towards the door and slipped his foot into the slippers that were at the door and walked out of the house. His parents followed too. They walked out of the house and began to walk to the car park.
“Young Master, take,” the security guard said, stretching out his hand with a bunch of keys. Now, the startled Louis gave him a questioning look, and he explained, “It fell off your hand when you tried to put it inside your pocket. When I noticed it, you were already in your room.”
“Thank you, officer,” Louis appreciated, and collected the bunch and walked to his car. He opened the driver's side and began to look out for his phone.
“Look at it,” Phil, who opened the back door, discovered that he dropped it on the foot mat instead of the back seat announced.
“Oh my God. Thank you, brother-in-law.”
He appreciated before he collected the phone from Phil joyously, and they began to walk back to meet their parents, who were standing at the door and watching them. Now, his mother, who had been imagining the risk he had exposed himself to, gave him a reprimand look. Likewise, his father turned in disgust and began to walk back to the house. Then, his mother, after she read him the riot act, she followed her husband. Meanwhile, Phil could read the handwriting on the wall. He looked at Louis, who also saw the reprimand look on his parents’ faces, and discovered that he was remorseful.
“It serves you right, Louis,” Phil expressed before he walked back to the room, and Louis followed at once.
“What do I do, brother-in-law?” He asked after he joined him in the room. Now, his brother-in-law would not like him to be stressed up again, so he smiled and encouraged, “You are the last born. They won't be cross with you for long.”
Nevertheless, Louis's next statement left him shaking like a leaf, “But I can be cross with myself for long.”
They were aware that their parents were loving and understanding parents, but they knew where to draw the line. They dare not go upstairs or knock on their door, especially when they were aware that they were angry.
“You don't have to, Louis.”
Now, the lunch was ready, and the janitor had served, but there was no one for him to inform. He quietly walked back to his room in the boys’ quarters. Then a smart idea flashed into Phil's mind, he smiled softly and announced, “I have an idea.”
“Let's hear it,” Louis requested as he adjusted himself.
“I will send for Daniel. He is the only one who can knock on their door and get away with it. After all, he was not aware that they were angry.”
Now, Phil's guileful idea illuminated Louis’s face, and he consented, “That is brilliant. Kindly get him.”
Meanwhile, Freya had just picked Daniel from school and was about leaving his school when he got her husband's call.
“Hello, Hubby.”
“Hi, baby. Are you home?”
“No, Hubby. I am about leaving Daniel's school. What's up?”
“That is good. I have a surprise for you and Daniel.”
“Wow! Let's hear it.”
“Last born is around.”
“Oh! Is he with you in the office?”
“Nope. We are at the Native Home.”
“All right. We are coming.”
(Cut)
After the call, Louis, who had been listening to their conversations, was thrilled. He rested his head on the headrest of the bed and focused on the television. Soon, Freya's car came to a halt beside her husband's car, and informed, “Daniel, your uncle is around.”
“Yes, but I'm starving.”
“I know. You will have your lunch.”
“All right, mom.”
They got off the car and met Louis and Phil waiting to receive them at the door. Now, Daniel ran to his uncle, who lifted him up and greeted, “Wow! Uncle Louis. Good day.”
“I am pleased to see you, Daniel De Pianist.”
He welcomed Freya too, and they walked back to the house. Now, he had put Daniel down, and he walked to the dinner table to help himself, but his father stopped him.
“We cannot eat without Grandma and Grandpa. Go and get them. Tell them we are waiting for them.”
To Daniel, that was no issue at all. He quickly climbed the staircase and knocked on the door. Without waiting for a response, he announced, “Grandma and Grandpa, open the door. We are waiting for you at the dinner table.”
Now, Arthur and his wife, who forgot about the food that she asked the janitor to prepare due to Louis's disorderliness, jolted from their seats when they heard their grandson's voice.
“Hubby, Daniel, is around.”
Nichole pointed out as she got up to let Daniel in. Her husband, who was still in his house wear, stood up too.
