Chapter 132

**Tzalmon Point of View**

I thought a child is a firm bond between both the parents but here it is completely different.

The same bond is trying to cut off the bond between both the parents. To think that my little boy is so smart and persistent, I need to find a right way to deal with him.

The lunch can be said, both eventful and uneventful. They let be eat on the same table as them but did not touch anything I brought. They had their food and I had mine; quietly.

I could only listen to what they were talking. I tried to butt in for a couple of times but I was very smoothly cut off by my own son.

He did so effortlessly and efficiently that he gave me no way out. I even caught a slight, almost invisible, smile on Eblilis face whenever I was stopped by our son.

She was so proud!

I came here to achieve something and have a breakthrough from the distance between us. What is happening here?

I was not able to even have a sentence worth conversation with her.

Fate is truly cruel. It knows how to slap people at the right time in a right manner.

"Ms. Winters, can we talk in private?" Seeing that all my moves are being rejected and restricted, I can only talk to her with a professional front.

I had my hands on my back and stood in front of her arrogantly just like how a rich and powerful would. I gave a vibe of an employer wanting to have a chat with his employee.

Igses smiling face immediately turned sour with displeasure when he looked at me. "I need to have a detailed discussion about the project and it's development."

"Sure." Eblilis nodded indifferently and asked Igses to stay with his grandpa for a while.

"Mamma, can't I come with you? After I go back tonight, I will not be able to meet you for few more days. I will miss you." He hugged Eblilis leg and rubbed his cheek against her leg pitifully.

Eblilis only saw his sad pout and moist eyes when she agreed but only I saw the proud wink he gave me later on.

My own son is my love rival!

We walked to a place where the meeting is held usually here. She sat down with all the necessary files and her laptop and addressed me professionally.

"Although we have team of interior designers, the interiors crew from my company is not too exceptional. They are amazing but I also want you look for more varied teams and then come to a conclusion. Since there is still time for the construction to end, you can use this time to test several designers before you make a decision, Mr. Ebernus." Saying, she passed on a folder with pictures of past works that her interiors team did.

I went through the pictures only for namesake but pretended to be very serious. "You can decide on it. We will do however you say."

"That's not right. You are the employer; you will have to pay for it so you will have the last say. I can only customize as per my employers wishes in my stream of work." Heh! She is being too stiff and professional. How am I going to crack it?

"Same difference. It's as much yours as mine." I waved my hand and said casually.

"Sorry?"

"This project, I mean. It's as much mine as it is yours." I corrected with a small smile. Seeing me changing my tone and words efficiently, she narrowed her eyes at me.

"As the chairperson and owner, you are to decide nonetheless. Once the construction of first three blocks takes a shape, I shall present you with the plan of shopping area." She said with a nod as she pulled out a file and went on to study it before she gave it to me for signature.

"This is the production cost to the date. You can sign this and take the copy for your own filing. To make it easier for you, you can see the list of interior companies and teams I prepared. They are good at their work and those marked in star are exceptionally creative. You can maybe test them out slowly and choose the most fitting ones." As she was talking on and on, I looked at her as if I fell in a spell.

Mesmerized, surprised, I felt a kind of calmness rose in my heart. She was only talking about work but my brain mostly focused how the expressions on her face changed from serious to frown to many more as she was explaining me.

She was gorgeous and definitely undeniably adorable.

Heck, even her hair that was caressing her face gently with wind made my heart skip a beat. When I say she is absolutely gorgeous, it is an understatement.

She is just so natural even if she is not smiling.

Unconsciously, I raised my hand slowly and proceeded towards the lock of hair what was freely flying on her face. Holding it between two of my fingers, I settled it behind her ear securely, touching her smooth skin on her cheek on the way.

Eblilis went still from my sudden action and looked at me with wide eyes. She was so shocked that I know she wanted to say or do something that her mind went blank.

Her wide eyes looked at me while I looked at her with a small smile, this time it was genuine. Just as I secured the lock behind the ear, don't know where and when it came, a small hand pushed my hand away from her ear.

This broke the spell when the small hand released the lock of hair back on the face and held Eblilis face.

"Mamma looks the best your hair is disheveled and flying around lawlessly." I heard the childish voice and turned to look at my son who was being a constant third wheel.

Igses climbed into Eblilis lap, ruffled her hair, pushed her hair as he liked and finally when she looked as messy as a ghost would, he nodded in satisfaction finally and held her face in his two small hands.

Placing a kiss on her forehead and both the cheeks, he smiled sweetly at the person who was being more like a puppet in his hands.

"Mamma, you have such beautiful long hair. Don't let some stranger man tame it. Now you look more beautiful." He said as he nodded at his art work proudly.

Eblilis breathed out a scoff and twisted Igses ear gently in a reprimanding manner. "You made me look like a ghoul."

"Then you will be the only beautiful ghoul in the universe." Without missing a beat, his comment followed, making Eblilis smile happily.

She then turned to me and her smile disappeared immediately. "I hope you keep your limbs to yourself if you ever want to keep them at all."

"Who will stop me? Will you?" I was actually amused by her threat. So I went along and teased her just so I could have a more natural conversation with her.

"Mamma doesn't have to dirty her hands when she has me to do it." There he goes again.

I think I need to settle the score with my son if I want his mother.

"And how will you do it? Are you capable enough to fight me?" I smiled mockingly at him. The little face turned red in anger from being looked down so he waved his hand and a sand twister emerged out of nowhere.

The sand twister surrounded me and whenever I tried to move, an invisible shield caged me in a certain part of the area.

Even in such a muddy surroundings, I could still see a proud smile on my son's face. I was actually very impressed with the control he had when he used his powers.

This is the first time I saw him use them and I can easily tell what kind of command he has in his powers. Although the sand twister could hurt me, it will be just superficial wounds. The most impressive was the invisible cage he placed around me.

The shield is like it has a mind of its own. As if it was not built on qualitative or quantitative basis but it was solely built for me. No matter how strong or weak I am, in this shield cage, I will not be invincible.

For him to build such a shield in a matter of seconds and so creatively, I couldn't help but feel pride fill my heart.

With a wave of my hand, the sand twister vanished immediately. Seeing me unscratched and well, Igses face turned into a frown.

"Boy, even if I don't have my powers right now, I am still your father and your powers cannot hurt me. Because they came from me." I smirked at the little one as I teased him.

Eblilis did not come between both of us. She did not stop Igses nor me when we are playing mind games.

I was enjoying the scowl on my son's face when it suddenly turned into a fully blown smile. He raised his hands at his mother and she instantly picked him up in her arms.

"Hah, seems like he is too powerful. Let's just leave mamma." He was naturally pretending to be disappointed.

I raised a brow at him and squinted my eyes at him in confusion. He wiggled his brows at me and said something that made the pride in my heart soar up a little more and also feel extremely helpless.

"If you cannot be hurt, you can still be restrained. The shield is not taken down yet. Hope the oh-so-powerful Mr. Ebernus can take down the petty simple shield around you." With that he patted Eblilis shoulder and she walked away with him wordlessly.

And just like that, I was left inside an unbreakable shield for the whole night alone.

Hello Sweeties,

Next chapter is here. Enjoy!

What do you think about the chapter? Good?

Igses is so damn possessive. Agree?

For Tzalmon's actions, there is an equal and opposite Igses reaction.

Don't you think Acacia is a little, negligible amount of, gentle towards Tzalmon?

What do you think will Tzalmon do to settle down Igses?

Please shower me with votes and comments.

Lots of Love
