Chapter 118

**Tzalmon Point of View**

"Who exactly are you?" This is not something I planned for to happen.

Not at least this early!

Not at least in this manner!

I looked down into the inquisitive cautious eyes and couldn't help feel warm and fuzzy in my heart.

"You should first introduce yourself when you meet someone elder to you, kid." Although there were many thoughts and emotions ranging from negative to positive running inside my mind, I still couldn't help but enjoy the sudden flare of teasing that erupted inside me.

"When someone comes to other's house as a guest, they should first introduce themselves before asking for the person they want to meet and the telling the purpose of visit." Such sharp tongue!

No wonder!

He truly got the best mannerisms from his mother and me. The little one was raised really well. For his age, he is cautious and mature beyond his age.

"I'm called Tzalmon and I'm here to meet Mr. Marcus Winters. He works in my company and I'm here to talk about some impending business. Now can you please let me inside?"

I didn't know that the little kid was visit his grandparents today, otherwise, I wouldn't have come to talk to Winters so blatantly. Business was just an excuse though, what I want to know was more about Eblilis and my son.

Who would've thought that my son, the young prince of my kingdom was here, keeping me out of the main door and interrogating me like a professional law enforcer?

However, this also caused me to smile a little more.

Igses only opened the door a little that could only fit his small body and looked up at me with narrowed eyes.

"Your identity card please." He asked and for a moment there, I was startled.

But then again, when I thought about Eblilis, I was not surprised anymore. She is indeed a kind of woman who would raise such an outstanding child; responsible, cautious and matured.

So, without arguing with the little guy, I pulled out my wallet and showed him my identity card, my driver's license and a copy of my passport front page which usually is filled with details of the concerned person.

After looking at the details and checking that the person in the picture on those cards and the person standing before him is the same, he nodded and opened the door wider for me.

With a concealed smile, I put my cards back into my pocket and followed him inside. It was only when I lost four plus years of Igses life that I understood how much of longing I have for him.

Back in the kingdom, although he was with Eblilis in another province, far from me, I could still go and look for him whenever I wanted. Also, since they were in my territory, I was assured.

Now that I missed such precious and most important time of Igses growth, I feel at lost. I know I truly lost some good times and good memories but cannot help with the situation anymore.

"Don't you have school today?" I asked as I followed him into the living room.

He pointed towards the couch and gestured me to take a seat while he responded. "One of the founders of the school is no more." He answered briefly with a shrug and the unanswered part, I filled it up myself.

Ah, so they declared a holiday for the day since their founder was dead.

"Grandpa, your boss is here to talk to you." He hopped on the stairs and ran towards a certain room upstairs as he called out for Mr. Winters loudly.

Loud enough to be heard from the next door!

A moment later, Mr. Winters came out and walked down towards me with a frown, an ugly frown. But when he saw his grandson hopping around with a rabbit beside him, he covered up his displeasure and showed me a blank expression.

"Mr. Ebernus." He nodded and sat opposite to me. "Igses, why don't you check out the puzzles I got for you? They are in Uncle Liam's room." Igses nodded and ran upstairs without looking back.

"My son, he is smart." I smiled proudly as I stared at the disappearing figure.

"You purpose of visit?" My father-in-law asked in a harsh tone. I realized that the more they were getting close to Eblilis and Igses, the more their hatred for me is increasing.

I could only sigh and comfort myself that I should take it one step at a time.

"Mrs. Winters?"

"She now has a job. She applied in ID Designs and got the job as Insurance executive and into customer services." Now, this is news to me.

Mrs. Winters applied for ID Designs was alright but from what Eelk said about Eblilis' insecurities regarding getting close to her parents and her own temper, she accepted her mother to work in her company which advocate constant contact with each other?

"Alright. We can proceed with the resort project with ID Designs."

"I've already informed Normann to send the corresponding email to them. We will sit for an initial discussion in two days." I nodded.

"How is she?" I collected all the courage I have and asked. Instantly, the nonchalant expression on his face transformed into a dangerous one.

If he wasn't my father-in-law, I wouldn't have had this – something close to fear.

"Very happy. It's all thanks to you that she had a smooth life and knew nothing but smiles." This father-in-law of mine has started to get sarcastic meant only one thing; nothing was going in my favor.

"Father-in-law, please understand where I was coming from as well. I promise that in future, I will keep her and Igses safe and happy." I said with a depressed sigh with a hint of hope in it.

"Trust you? I wouldn't be such a fool. Forget about my daughter and grandson. You should work on getting our memories back first. No, actually, you don't have to. I think even without memories relating to my daughter, my family will still get united one day soon." I ignored his rejection for now.

"About the memories, the way to get my powers back may lie in Acacia and Igses. It seems like I have to finally brave it out and come face to face with her." This caused Mr. Winters body to storm out a strong murderous aura.

It was so strong that I was startled that a mortal human to give out such strong resentful aura.

"So what now? You want to capture her again and imprison her somewhere again to break those restrictions just like how you did before?" He shot up from his seat and panted in anger.

I realized that my words came out in a wrong way and were misunderstood. So I calmed myself and stood up in a composed manner.

"No. You misunderstood me, father-in-law. This time, I want to get my family back in a right manner. I realized that cause of the restriction might be because of the resentment that Acacia had for me and my people which also affected Igses. That should've caused the powers restriction accidentally." I explained patiently.

"So you want to get them back for your selfish reason?" He roared.

Fudging Heavens! He misunderstood me again!

"You got me wrong again, father-in-law. Why would I put so much effort, why would I reveal my own stupidity to you all despite knowing the obvious about how much you all will hate me? Why would I do everything in power to unite you all and Acacia? I truly wish for her best and nothing but the best. I know my mistakes and I truly want to amend them." I told him in a desperate attempt to show my sincerity.

If I were a father to a girl who went through hell of a change, I would be the same, if not even worse.

However, I do want to settle the whole issue perfectly and not leave any shortcomings from any angle and to do that, I need Winters family acknowledgement and support.

Shush! It's going to take a long time!

"Make no mistake, I only agreed to go through with your plans because I and my family want our memories back. However, they are back or not, I will never accept you for my daughter." I can see where Eblilis got her stubbornness.

Both the father and daughter are too persistent!

"After signing the contract with ID Designs, I will introduce her to you as my boss. You better behave well or King or even God, you will die in my hands." I specifically ignored the warning part for now and sighed in relief when he decided to make the process easier for me.

So I nodded gratefully and told him a few more details about the current issue.

"Grandpa, can we go and pick up Uncle Liam from his university? It's his first day today, I want to give him cheers." Just as we were about to wrap up our discussion, Igses came down and asked Mr. Winters in a fawning manner as he batted his lashes adorably.

Mr. Winters seemed to control his laughter and nodded his head in agreement as he smiled down at my son.

"Yayy, Mamma gave me some money, let me get it so we can have ice cream." He ran somewhere but halfway through, he suddenly stopped and turned back to look at me with a certain seriousness on his face.

"As a gentleman, I hope you don't peep into others houses the next time." With a hint of warning, my little boy said gravely making me go still.

So he saw me the other day!
