Chapter 18 I don't need a mother, Dad
(THIRD PERSON'S P.O.V)

NEXT MORNING
Xenon woke up as he heard someone knocking on his door.
"Sir Xenon, it's me Glenda, can I come in now?" the nanny asks.
Xenon stretch his arms, and yawn, he squishes his eyes upon murmuring,
"What is it?" he said in a low tone.
"Your Dad asks for your audience to join him for breakfast, young master. May I come in to help you to dress up?" Glenda asks.
Xenon's eyes widen upon hearing what his nanny said, 'Dad wants me to join him for breakfast?' he asks himself again.
"Come in." he said shortly.
The kid let his nanny in, and Glenda greeted him a good morning. Glenda has been Xenon's nanny for almost three years now, but up until now Xenon never opens up for her or he trust her.
Xenon always draw line and never let you crosses that line.
Moving on, Xenon takes a bath and wear his usual clothing when staying at home since it's Sunday today.
Glenda dries up his hair before they went out of his room to go to the dining area. Upon getting downstairs, he noticed that the maids are quite busy even if it's early in the morning. And he wondered what is happening all of the sudden, but yet he remained walking without asking his nanny anything.
"Good morning, young master." everyone in the hallway greeted Xenon,
After hearing those greets, Xander noticed Xenon walking towards him.
"Good morning, dad." he greeted.
Xander dranks his coffee, and commanded the nanny,
"Prepare Xenon's milk and vitamins here."
The breakfast for today is bacon, egg, and bread which Xenon's usual breakfast this week.
"Bacon and egg again?" Xenon snorted.
"Did you have bacon and egg yesterday?" Xander asks.
Xenon nods, and Xander called out the chef.
Xander glared at the chef and pointed the food in front of Xenon,
"Change the food." He said in a scary tone. The chef immediately followed his order and make another dish for breakfast.
Xander is taking a sip of his coffee while Xenon is waiting for his milk. They are both not saying a work which seems to be a little awkward .
Xander cleared his throat, he thinks that it's already been almost a month since they dine in together.
"How's school this week, Xenon?" he opens up a topic.
"Fine." he shortly answered.
"Any problem in school?" he asks again his son.
Xenon look at him coldly and shook his head,
"There's none." he answers.
The head maid Milla suddenly appeared in the dining room,
"Good morning, Sir Xander and Xenon." she greeted with a smile.
"Good morning, auntie. Is Shannica awake already?" Xander questioned.
Xenon confusedly look at Aunt Milla,
'Who is Shannica? Don't tell me...' Xenon thinks to himself but didn't continue as an unknown woman enters the dining area.
"G-Good morning." Shannica said while bending her head down.

Xenon look closer to the woman and figured out that she's the same woman in his Dad's office who called his Dad a monster.
The kid's aura went dark after Xander introduces Shannica to him as his Dad's fiancée.
".... She's going to be your mother." After that sentence, Xenon clench his fist on the table below... He already had one, who he never even had a chance to meet before. But that doesn't mean that he wants a new mother.

He stood up and walk out after hearing the news...
" I don't need a mother, Dad."
He went upstairs to his room and decided to lock himself up.

\--

On the other hand, Shannica looks so bothered after what happened on breakfast. Xander said to just ignored Xenon as he really is a cold kid. But... She can't help but to keep on thinking, does the kid dislike the idea of his Dad marrying another woman? Hays. Or he just hated me because I made a bad impression when we first met? Aish...

Shannica just sigh and decided to fix her light make up a little.
She's still currently on the Lincoln's mansion and dressing up the dress that Xander suddenly brought for her since she doesn't have any clothes to change on. As planned, they are really going out together to see their wedding planner.
After 15 minutes, Shannica finished fixing herself, and she got bored in the guest room so she decided to went out and roam around in the mansion.

"Miss Shannica, sir Xander informed us to tell you to wait for a couple of minutes as he still have some work to do on his office room." one of the maid approaches her.
'Oh, so he had his own office room even in his house? Such a workaholic man he is.' she said in herself.

"Sure it's okay. But can I roam around while waiting? I'm kinda bored just sitting in the couch." she asks.
"Yes, miss Shannica. I can lead you the way--"
"Oh please I don't want to bother anyone, I know you're all busy. I can explore on my own. Is that okay?" Shannica asks again.
"O-Oh okay Miss, if you insist. You can call out any of us if you need someone to guide you." the maid reaches out.
Shannica nodded, "I will, thank you." she said with a smile.

Shannica continues her walk, and she gone to the swimming pool area,
"Woah, the pool area is so huge..." she exclaimed. There's actually two pools, adult size and kiddy pool. The ambiance is also good, it's quite cold which suited the place.
She walks again and saw a playground, it's also wide and huge for a kid alone. No wonder why that kid is such a spoiled brat, she thinks.

Next, she walks towards the backyard and Shannica's mouth turn into 'o' because of the excitement she saw. There's a lot of flowers in the backyard, it's properly trimmed and obviously has a high maintenance.

She entered to a somewhat greenhouse and she saw another set of flowers and other leafy greens in the surrounding.

'I think the head maid, Aunt Milla, really take good care of this place..' Shannica thinks to herself.

"Five time one equals five, five times two equals ten, five times three equals fifteen, five times four equals twenty...."

Shannica stops from roaming around when she heard a voice from a distant.

"Five times five equals twenty five, five times six equals thirty.."
' Is anyone in here?' She asks again and followed the voice.

At a near distant, she noticed that their is a four seater round table beside a water fountain at the greenhouse, and a child is sitting there holding an iPad.

'Is that Xenon? Why is he here?' she asks herself.
