Chapter 67 EdwardChloe - Destiny

• "Mister, you're not coming home?" Nicholas, still in Edward's study, asked. "Don't forget, tonight you have an appointment for dinner with Mr. Alexander." Edward patted his forehead lightly. "Gosh, I almost forgot." Too busy chatting with Hans made the man forget the mandatory schedule for the day. "Nic, do you think I should still come tonight to the party?" Edward asked then. He looked doubtful now. Instead of answering right away, Nicholas laughed softly. He knew his boss must be lazy to attend a dinner like this. Instead of talking about business, usually, conglomerates are busy showing off their wealth. This is what Edward avoids. "If you don't want Mr. Alexander to be angry, it's best if you hurry home now. He has even warned you twice today to attend the event." "Even though I know what the old man's purpose is for forcing me to come along."
• Again Nicholas laughed. "You should be happy, Mister. Who knows when you come home from there, you might actually get a wife-to-be. Remember, the transfer of CEO position is getting closer." Edward took a deep breath. It seemed that there was no other choice but to attend the event. "Then, I'll go home first. Please handle all my work today. There are some reports that I haven't finished checking." In his standing position, Nicholas nodded in understanding. "After this, I will immediately do it." Edward then rose from his seat. Greeted the briefcase that Nicholas handed over and hurried out of the room. **** Before going to the venue, Edward chose to stop first at Alexander's house. After returning from Indonesia, the man set foot there again for the first time. Entering the stately home in the Kensington district, a housekeeper whom Edward knew very well came to greet him. The look of surprise was visible on the middle-aged woman's face. "Welcome, young master. Nice to see you coming here after such a long time." Edward nodded slightly. He was throwing a smile at the woman named Sicily Laurence. "How are you, Aunt Sicily? Is your diabetes still recurring?" Sicily also smiled then answered Edward's question.
• "Thanks, God. I'm much better now. Moreover, the old lady has taught me how to have a good sugar diet." "Pleased to hear it." Edward responded as he continued to walk into the living room. "It's obvious that you look fresher than usual now." Finished saying that sentence, Edward's eyes turned to the figure of another woman who was sitting on the sofa reading a book. "Aunty Sicily, please tell Papa that I have come and are waiting for him." Sicily nodded in understanding, then left to inform Alexander immediately. While waiting for his father, Edward walked back to his mother, sitting on the sofa. "Mom, how are you?" For the sake of hearing a voice that she knew very well, Liliana immediately closed the book she was reading. Turning to the vote source, the half-century-old woman found her eldest child standing perfectly beside her. "Oh my God, Edward." Liliana immediately rose from her seat. The woman came closer and, a moment later, landed a hug and a short kiss on Edward's cheek. "I miss you, Ed." Liliana's eyes almost filled with tears. He was moved to remember that he had not seen his son for a long time.
