CHAPTER 80
“Grandma, Nanny Martha, where is Papa?!” Kaylus screamed from upstairs.
Pink, who was speaking with Yellow in the sitting room, looked up at her and smiled. “Your brother is not your Papa, Princess.”
Kaylus looked confused for a moment before saying, “He buys me dolls, he comb my hair, he buys my clothes, we sleep together, he changes my clothes and bathes me too. He feeds me and takes care of me. I should call him, Mama, but he’s a boy.”
Pink sighed. “Bring her down, else she might fall.”
A maid immediately hurried over the stairs to carry the baby.
Pink took the baby from the maid and tapped her nose. “Don’t think you can fool me, little one. He told you to call him Papa, didn’t he?”
Kaylus shook her head, “He didn’t. Papa is Papa, Daddy is Daddy.”
Yellow couldn’t help but chuckle, while Pink felt a headache. This will be an issue when Maverick returns, she thought.
“Baby, listen, Papa is Daddy too.”
“Ok.” The child nodded. “Then I can call him Daddy and Papa too, right?”
“Huh?” Pink looked strangely at her.
“Hahaha… She missed the point.”
“No, I didn’t. Grandma said Papa and Daddy are the same. Brother is my Papa and also my Daddy, right?”
Pink massaged her aching temple. “You know what, this matter will be taken care of when your mom and dad return. I’m growing old from speaking to you.”
“So where did my Papa go?” the child asked again.
“Your brother went to the company with your uncle. They’ll take a while. Your brother said–”
“He left without me?” she pouted.
“That’s not it. You were sleeping and he didn’t want to bother you.”
“Last week, he left me at home and ran to his graduation alone. Grandma, is he avoiding me?”
“No!” Pink kissed her head. “He’s your papa, right? Fathers don’t avoid their children. It’s his first day at the company, so he couldn’t take you along. You know your brother loves you the most, he’ll take you along next time.”
The child nodded, “I believe you… But I want to speak to him.”
Pink sighed deeply. At this rate, Valen would turn into a walking skeleton. In God’s name, what did Valen do to this child to deserve this?
Kaylus doesn’t allow Valen to live in peace. Ever since she was born, her favourite and most hated person is Valen.
Before she started walking, Kaylus would pee or poop on her diaper when she’s carried by someone else, but immediately she sees Valen coming, she’d cry so much and pull at her diaper until it is taken off. Then, she’d spread her hands for Valen to pick her up. Once he did, Kaylus would either pee on him or poop on him.
That scheme of hers never got old. It got to a point that Valen became used to it. The days she won’t desecrate his lovely outfit, he’d be wondering if she was ill.
When she started crawling, Kaylus would crawl all over Valen, even in his sleep. To make it worse, it was not a one-time thing. That child did it so much that they were separated but Kaylus got very sick afterwards that they felt she’d die, so Valen took her back to his room. However, there were servants on standby.
When she grew teeth, Valen became her meat. She’d bite Valen every single time. Oh, poor Valen. He even got his long and beautiful hair cut with scissors when he was taking a nap last year.
Kaylus is Valen’s nemesis, but the children’s love for each other is simply one that most parents would be shocked by.
Valen said he hates cuteness but each time he bought his baby sister things, they were always the cutest things. Because of his baby sister, Valen established a company that manufactures kid’s stuff. He makes sketches of whatever stuff he feels his sister needs and sends it to his company for production.
Now, Kaylus is the child ambassador of KVL Group; Valen’s company.
Presently, Pink nodded, “get the phone.”
Kaylus spoke to Valen for over three hours. She wasn’t literally saying stuff for three hours. In fact, the number of times she spoke wouldn’t be up to twenty times. But having the phone to her ear and hearing the background noise, gave her reassurance that her brother was fine.
What nobody but herself knew was that she sticks to her brother because she wants to make sure he’s always fine at all times, but bullying him makes her happy.

*At the Lu company…*
Rex and Valen could be seen in Maverick’s office after the meeting was over. Rex was discussing with Valen but the child doesn’t seem to be buying it.
“Valen, I think it’s time your sister starts going to school. She’s older than her cousin, who is just two years old. Your Uncle Fin and Uncle Matt’s children started school this week. ”
“She’s still too young, we can get her a home tutor,” Valen refused.
“Hai, don’t be like that. She’s not going far away from home. At most, she’ll spend five hours in school. Her friend circle might expand too. Also, when she leaves you for those hours, you can do whatever you want.”
“Uncle Rex, I don’t want to send her to school. She’s still too young.”
Rex shook his head. “What are you scared of? That she’d be bullied? Kidnapped? Mistreated?” Rex raised a brow.
Valen’s eyelids dropped.
Rex laughed. “You underestimate that demi-devil. She’s a born leader. She has this attitude that forces her mates to stop talking when she is. I don’t know how to describe the feeling she gives. She doesn’t openly bully people, but does so in a subtle way… Be rest assured, she’s as scheming as you and your Mom. I’ve never heard them say they won against her in an argument before.
“Your Uncle Matt’s daughter cried to her mother the other day at her birthday party. You were aware. You saw how Kaylus defended herself.
“Also, you can’t forget the way she beat Tania the other day because Tania bullied Inspector Fin’s daughter. Even though Tania is her favourite, she doesn’t hold back in correcting her. Tania came to me the other day to complain that she doesn’t want to be friends with her cousin anymore because Kaylus doesn’t allow her to bully others. But the next day, Tania forced her mother to help her make candies that she shared as an apology, and that’s because Kaylus threatened to beat her ass.
“You see, so don’t be afraid. Kaylus cannot be bullied by anyone. She’s too cute and sensible for that.”
Valen sighed, “I still want her to be at home though.”
Rex stared at Valen for a while before asking, “don’t you feel she’s a thorn in your flesh–”
“She’s not.”
“OK, I agree, she’s not. But look at you. You’re almost like a ghost who doesn’t exist. Everything you do now is for your sister and parents. It feels like you’re no longer living. Valen, this is not a good sign.
“Valen,” Rex held his hands. “I know you’ve missed your parents. You are but a shell of yourself right now. You don’t even talk anymore these days. Look at you, you’ve grown thinner. Do you think Jeslyn will forgive herself if she comes back and sees you like this? Here is my suggestion. I’m sure it will help rekindle your hopes. Put Kaylus in school and pay your parents a visit.”
Valen’s eyes shone. “Will I be able to see them?”
Rex shook his head, “I’m not certain but being around them should do the magic. What do you think?”
“OK.” He agreed.
THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 71 – THE END
Meanwhile, Doyenne was seen talking on the phone with Lady Sabrina.
“What is going on, Doyenne? It’s been three years and you still haven’t gotten that child!”
“If you think it’s so easy, why don’t you go get her yourself?” Doyenne fired back.
“It looks to me that you’ve been lusting after men and aren’t doing your job! If I had the luxury to show myself in public, do you think we’d rely on you? We aren’t immortals, damn it!”
“What can I do?! That baby is being protected like they were told we are aiming for her.”
“For the past two years, three of the witches have died of old age. No one to pass their gifts to. I don’t know if it will be my turn tomorrow. The earlier you get that child, the better for us all!”
Doyenne hissed in rage and threw her phone on the couch. This is so annoying. She never thought it would be this hard to get their hands on a child.
While she was thinking of what to do, the solution came right to her when she saw the news.
[…Kaylus Lu was spotted among her peers at school today… ]
Whatever was reported before and after that flew over her head. All she needed was to know that the child is away from home.
…

Ever since Kaylus started school, Valen had been enjoying more free time. So on this day, he decided to do what Rex suggested.
The child boarded one of their helicopters and headed in the direction of the rainborite stone. Getting there, it was a huge cave in a green land stretched as far as the eyes could see.
Valen walked to the entrance of the cage but it was sealed by multi-coloured stone.
“System, do you have any idea how one can go in?” Valen asked.
[ Only if the stone opens up. ]
“How long would that take?”
[ It won’t open up for you. While you’re here, you might need some stone. ]
“What for?”
[ You aren’t getting enough sleep. It can help you sleep more and worry less. ]
“I’m not interested.”
[Your sister might be. A rainborite ruby on her necklace would look good on her. ]
“How do I get one?”
[ Just touch the stone and ask for a chunk. ]
Valen did as told and a big chunk of a glowing rainborote stone fell out from the cave.
“Isn’t this too big?”
[ You can make a lot of things from it. ]
“If I’m not mistaken, this weighs 2000 Ibs.”
[ You’re right. Like I said, you can make a lot of things from it. ]
“Like what?”
[ Bullets from this stone are very destructive. A knife or sword, Jewellery for sale, a healing stone for the hospital, and a lot more. ]
“I heard it’s a gem that everyone in the world wants to have.”
[ You shouldn’t worry about that. No one in their right frame of mind would start a fight with your family. Your family dominates the whole country. ]
Valen sat with crossed legs on the grass in front of the cave. He was wondering if the stone would help him transmit his words to his parents.
[ You can give it a try. Who knows, your parents might hear you. You’re not losing anything if you do. ]
Valen took a deep breath and opened his mouth.
“Dad, Mom, how are you doing? It’s been three years. Kaylus has grown. She is far from cute, quiet and obedient. She started nursery last week. Her teachers are pleased…”
THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 71 – THE END
Inside the round and huge stone with Crystal walls, Jeslyn was sleeping while Maverick was sitting crossed legs with his eyes closed.
“Dad, Mom…”
The voice echoed in his ear. He slowly opened his eyes and looked around. He couldn’t find anything aside from his wife and the little crystals on the white floor.
Maverick could hear everything his son was saying but what left him speechless was the date.
“Three years?” he mumbled.
He continued to listen to Valen’s words. The boy was only talking about his sister and everyone else but himself.
“What about you, son?” Maverick asked but surprisingly, his words couldn’t be transmitted to Valen.
Maverick soon realized that when Valen kept on talking without answering any of his questions.
“I shall be back to pay you another visit with Kaylus soon. I miss you, Dad… Mom!”
The child’s voice died afterwards. Maverick took a deep breath, then shifted his gaze to his wife. She had been like this ever since he brought her in here. She wouldn’t move but she was glowing and looking more beautiful and young daily.
As for him, he cannot say what he looks like because there’s nothing to see his appearance with.
The white crystal slowly turned blue, then green. The crystals had been changing colours but had never turned green before. While he was wondering, he saw Jeslyn’s fair and slender fingers move slightly.
Maverick’s eyes widened and he immediately changed his sitting position to observe his wife.
“Floss, are you awake?”
