"Grandpa." exclaimed Conrad hesitantly as he approached the large master who was sitting in the upstairs living room.
The great lord never got along much more considering Conrad a grandson. The child was only the one Andrew had adopted at Rachel's insistence, even after which Rachel was reluctant to have her name included in the adoption papers, perhaps fearing that the child would one day become an heir.
Now he was trying to look at Conrad in a different way, with the eyes of a grandfather as Diana had taught him.
Alongside Conrad also stood an oriental young girl, whom he believed was the Diana family.
"Come here. Sit down by Grandpa's side and tell me what you learned at school today."
Conrad sat beside the great master in disbelief, he looked up to Lia. Lia nodded and smiled encouragingly. To make the child's confidence grow.
"Hallo big master, introduce my name Lia. I'm Diana's sister." Lia introduced herself without extending a hand with just a slight nod of her head.
For him a dignified man like a great master was not necessarily willing to shake hands with him. So from the beginning he paused his intention to extend a hand.
Lia then sat down next to Conrad.
"Let's Conrad tell the grandpa that you got the best score in the essay and have been able to share" said Lia cheering.
"really?"
"Truly Grandpa" he said shyly.
"Good! The Knight family members must be smart and great people." There was a proud tone behind the voice of the great master.
Lia looked at the great lord in disbelief, had the old man really mentioned Conrad as part of the Knight family?
"Daddy gave you a present?" ask the big master again.
Conrad shook his head.
"It's usually mommy who always makes Conrad a special cake" Conrad said.
"Why don't you ask your daddy for a gift?" master is astonished.
"Sorry big master, my brother taught Conrad that his success in school was his responsibility. The older brother would give a flattery and a hug of pride if Conrad succeeded to small tasks and a reward on his class rise." Lia looked at Conrad and stroked the boy's hair while peeping his forehead.
"And he was really responsible and did his duty with all his heart not for reward." Firm Lia.
The great master who heard it only nodded his head. Another moral lesson he learned from ordinary people.
"Conrad misses mommy. Usually if Conrad gets good grades, mommy will make a cake tock, nastar, steamed bread. Hiccup... Conrad also wanted to eat a fried banana made by mommy... huaaaa.." the boy sobbed while hugging Lia.
"Unty make it yes. If only unty fried bananas can also be. Hahhaha." said Lia arrogantly.
"It can be as good as mommy's." The little boy raised his head with a doubtful look. She never saw Lia in the kitchen.
"It certainly can." said Lia sure.
"But Conrad still wants mommy. Conrad kangen same mommy. Huaaa. "the boy cried again.
The great lord looked at the scene with a restraint. It's really a sight of a family bond. This brat did not even have a blood tie to the girl in front of him even with Diana whom he called mommy. But the affection given proves the bond exists.
He realized many things he was going through. From a long time ago, the family business was the main one for him. Even he never knew the habits and preferences of Andrew small or the successes achieved let alone the difficulties his son went through.
It's very unfortunate.
As they were engrossed in conversation, Briant suddenly appeared with a tense face.
"What's Briant? Did something happen?" ask the big lord in wonder. All eyes in the room looked at Briant sharply.
Briant.
"Lia please bring Conrad to the room."
Lia who saw the unpleasant situation immediately brought Conrad into the room and called out to nanny to park him.
When he came back he faintly heard Briant's sentence saying, "he forbade me from leaving."
The big master's face looked tense, his hands clenched.
"What's up, brother? What's going on?" ask Lia marketing.
His chest was already pounding, all his five senses were saying that something alarming had happened.
"Sit down." said Briant who saw Lia still standing tensely.
Lia said, she was sitting on the big sofa in front of Briant.
"Dylan called the phone of his brother-in-law, who was being held by Andrew. He admitted that he had taken away brother-in-law."
"Then, where's my brother? Is she okay? Is he coming back? Did brother Andrew pick her up? I'm going with you." Lia stood up to get out of the place but was instead restrained by Briant.
"Wait first! Sit down, I'm not done yet."
Lia sat back down. His two hands hooked on each other restlessly while hoping for anxiety.
"Dylan said that your brother is now with Rachel and Andrew on his way there."
"No! That woman is crazy! He could do crazy things to my brother. Why are we still here. We have to go there to get him. We must help Brother Andrew." said Lia frantically and breath was beheaded due to the overflow of emotions within her.
"Andrew has departed with ten bodyguards. I'm going to be stuck here looking after you guys." Briant said firmly.
"But he's my brother, I have to do something."
"Calm yourself. Don't add to the mess. Your panic will not help solve the problem" Briant said with a huff. Indeed, Briant himself was anxious, but seeing Lia's behavior made him even more anxious.
Lia looked at Briant with a huff. He left Briant and the big master in annoyance. Had Jason there would have been more supportive and full of crazy ideas.
*ah! Why do I miss Jason at a time like this. Has he returned from Cairo*?
After the death of Lia, Briant and the big lord just kept quiet in silence. Until Briant returned preoccupied with work affairs.
Earlier.
After receiving a phone call from Dylan. Andrew in a fit of rage headed for the bodyguard's house.
"Gregg!!!" His voice boomed calling the Chief of the bodyguards.
The head of the bodyguard immediately approached his master with a flat face without any expression.
"Prepare ten of your best men and arm them. Now I'm going to go to that cruel woman's house!"
"Good sir." By rushing Greg to prepare his men. Within a short time ten people in dark blue t-shirts, black trousers and sneakers were ready.
Diana did have time to change their appearance so as not to be striking when around him. He felt irritated to see the bodyguard dressed like a bouncer before.
When Andrew was about to leave Briant came.
"What's going on, what's going on that you're carrying a lot of bodyguards, are you.. ?"
"Yes, Dylan called me on Diana's phone. She had kidnapped Diana, but Rachel took her away. I'm going to Rachel's house to pick Diana up." Andrew said furiously.
"You'd better be home and let me go" said Briant, holding Andrew.
"No. I'll go."
"Your presence will only spark debate."
"I don't care if I have to hurt Rachel. Diana is my woman! He's my responsibility!" Andrew shouted firmly.
Briant. Free he insisted because Andrew's desire was firm.
"I'm taking Daddy, Conrad and Lia. If anything happens to me, you know what's best for them." Andrew said before leaving.
"You should go back with brother-in-law. Remember they are all your responsibility, not mine. I have a life of my own. Remember you have to go back!" briant strongly warned Andrew.
Andrew smiled. He knows his cousin, best friend and assistant this one is a big hearted person.
Andrew entered the car, as the motorcade was about to cross the fence, their journey halted by the speeding butler Jhon.
"Wait sir! Here, eat on the street. You haven't eaten since yesterday. Don't argue with me! You must have the strength to pick up Lady Diana. And this is for her, if she doesn't eat well." Strictly butler Jhon delivers two packs of Turkey Sandwich and two bottles. One contains milk and the other is tea.
Andrew accepted it all with awe.
The moving car's accompaniment was followed by an eye view from Briant and butler Jhon as well as several house guards.
