#2 Chapter 57
Chapter 57.
Xander and Annabelle Morgan were startled as they heard the voice from the door, they glanced there only to see Katherine instead of Luna.
“Tell mummy what?” She asked again and seeing that she succeeded in scaring them, she laughed.
“You scared us.” Annabelle pointed out, feeling so frightened.
“I’m sorry.” She gently walked to her bed to do her reading. She loves her privacy and had only went out of the room to keep their mother away from worrying about what got them locked up in the room.
And Katherine really stopped her from thinking of anything negative, she told Luna that they had too much fun and they needed to rest immediately as they were tired.
Katherine picked out a book from her school bag, switched on her reading lamp and began reading with Drac cuddling her thighs, she shoved her hand in it hair, caressing it as she continued reading, minding her business.
“Back to what we were discussing, should we just tell mummy about it? Its is disturbing enough. How can a man look exactly like you, you look like his younger version and he seemed surprised to see us too, I don’t know what that means.” Annabelle said, hoping for the answers to just pop up in her head without her stressing much.
“I think he don’t know us too, he was quite surprised to see us, he was shocked and frozen.” Xander said, his little head was beginning to hurt and he held it with his hands.
“Let’s just tell mom about him and get this over with.” Annabelle concluded.
“We will tell mummy tomorrow but right now, I have to sleep.” Xander said, laid on his bed with his back turned to Annabelle.
“This is harder than I thought.” Annabelle said and went over to her own bed to sleep too.
“I hope the stranger is dad, he seems so rich and he can afford my dream vacation without stress.” Annabelle thought before sleeping.
“I hope so too.” Katherine muttered and continued reading her book.

“Rise and shine babies.” Luna woke them up the next morning, opening their windows and rolling up the shields for the day’s brightness to penetrate inside the room.
When she came to the room to check up on them last night, she met them sleeping as she had predicted, though Katherine knew when she came in but pretended to be asleep too.
“Good morning babies, it is another day and you three are still on bed by this time of the day.” Luna said and clapped her hands childishly, “Stand up and come over to the bathroom to have a bath. Today is the last school day of the week, so let me dress you up for school quickly. Who is bathing first?” She asked them and began shaking them playfully on their bed, trying to wipe the sleep off their faces.
“Good morning mom.” Annabelle muttered and Luna pecked her forehead lovingly in response.
“Mom, I’m awake but you should know I won’t take my bath first, I’m the man of the house and the saying is always about ladies first.” Xander said and turned his back to his mother.
“Hmm really? Okay fine.” She chortled, turned him over and pecked his forehead too before standing up from him.
“Don’t worry mom, I always enjoy bathing first with Drac.” Katherine said, she was already halfway to the bathroom.
“That is my girl.” Luna said and hit both Xander and Annabelle on their shoulders, “I’m still coming for you both.” She stated and headed to the bathroom with Katherine and Drac.
Luna succeeded in bathing the kids and dressed them up for school. She remembered to close back the window and to dropped the shields.
“Breakfast is on the dinning, go there and eat up, mummy too have to dress up.” Luna said, leading the way out of the room.
“Don’t forget to carry your schoolbags please, none of you are coming back inside, we will be going immediately after breakfast, we are closely late.”
“Okay mom.” They chorused.
Luna turned towards her room and the kids turned towards the dinning but Xander suddenly stopped walking. “You both should go on, I will love to inform mom about something.” He said.
Katherine just nodded her head and continued her journey to the dinning but Annabelle answered Xander. “Don’t inform mom about anything about that strange man okay? You know that we are late, we will let her know in the afternoon when we return from school.”
“Okay I won’t but I’m still going to her room.” Xander replied and went to Luna’s room, leaving Annabelle to breath out heavily but she went to the dinning anyways.
“Mom.” Xander called immediately he entered, he met Luna trying to zip up her dress. “Let me help you mom.” Luna allowed him to help her.
“Thank you baby.” Luna turned back and pecked his cheeks. “But aren’t you suppose to be in the dinning with your sister?” She asked him.
“Of course I should be, I just thought that you might need a man’s help in here and see, your zipper had to get stuck.” He said, feeling proud of himself causing Luna to laugh out loud.
“Mom, you’re beautiful.” He said as he looked closely at Luna.
“You think I need that too right?” Luna asked and gently caressed his cheeks, and he nodded, “Thank you baby, I really need it.” She hugged him. “I know that you were sad yesterday because of your dad and I’m sorry, I wish I can be better than this and you guys should know that I’m trying but it seems I’m not trying enough.”
“I love you mom but we still need dad too. You tell us nothing about him and you left us to the fantasy. Yesterday, we saw…..” Xander cut himself short with his eyes tightly shut.
“What did you saw?” Luna asked and disengaged from the hug, staring at his eyes and he gently opened his eyes, they were red as tears rolled down from the corner of his eyes.
Luna hugged him again, “Its okay baby. I promise I will tell you a story, a story about someone you love, a story that will clear all your doubts and curiosity, a story about me.” Luna promised and she meant it.
“Come on wipe your tears, everything will be okay.” Xander nodded and they both wiped his tears away.
“I love you Xander, always remember that.”© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“I love you too mom.” He whispered and ran out of the room.
He was relieved, he can think again and most especially, he felt more loved and happy. He ran all the way to the dinning, beaming happily.
“What did you discussed with mom?” Annabelle asked Xander immediately he showed up in the dinning room.
“I snitched about your bed wetting nature.” Xander replied her sarcastically.
“What? You bed wet now?”
