Chapter 64
Due to exhaustion, mentally, physically and emotionally (hormonal), Veronica slept the entire evening and only managed to wake up around afternoon when her system asked for 'fuel'. Her phone was left on her bag on the damaged car and so basically, she's phoneless and she only has her laptop left which, unfortunately, was left uncharged out of Veronica's self annoyance. Veronica charged her laptop and moved to clean herself and changed her pad. Afterwards, she decided to go downstairs to eat her first meal after almost twenty hours of hibernation. "Good afternoon, young mistress, would you like me to deliver your meal in your room or in the living room?" A maid, around her age, politely greeted as soon as she saw her descending the stairs. Veronica smiled politely, as how she and her siblings were raised to be by their parents towards the maid.
"No, it's okay. I'll have it in the dining area."
"I'll go inform Butler Ru, young mistress", And soon, the maid turned around ahead of Veronica to inform the butler that the young mistress was finally awake.
Veronica on the other hand, feeling refreshed and well relaxed despite her current condition, took her time to look around Rawlf's mansion.
She smiled that the man was too worried that it's not cubs-friendly when in fact, it is already to the liking of the children. Just enough space for Baelfair to run around happily to show off her fashionista dress to everyone in the mansion and the painting and interior is to Baelfire's liking. Black and white and minimalist sense, which she also loves.
"Hmm, nothing more needed so I shouldn't bother." Veronica said to herself and went directly to the dining area finding the good butler preparing her meal.
"Good afternoon young miss." The butler bowed then greeted her.
"The young master strictly said that you should finish this bowl of chicken soup before having your meal and afterwards, drink the herbal tea which I will prepare after your meal."
Veronica's mouth twitched. 'Really. That man', She thought.
Understanding that things Rawlf asked to prepare are all for her sake, Veronica no longer bothered and nodded her head.
After preparing her food on the table, Butler Ru left to prepare the herbal tea which the young mistress will have to drink right after her meal.
It took Veronica a long time to finish her meal as she enjoyed the pleasure of eating alone and another twenty minutes to finish the herbal tea.
By the time she went upstairs back to her room, it's already two thirty-five in the afternoon. Veronica then soon turned her laptop on to check her email, to get an update from Zero regarding Baelforce and her business and of course, back on her cubs in Country R.
But what took Veronica by surprise were the many missed calls from her mother and even some, from Edward.
"What the..-" Veronica didn't manage to think more or even uttered another word as the message from her mother made her totally blanked out.
"The twins were already on their way there. It was too late for me or your uncle Bien to know that Edward brought them with him around three am this morning!"
Her mother's message yesterday afternoon.
As if everything dawned on her, Veronica moved to call Rawlf but remembered that her phone's gone so she no longer bothered to reply to her mother or even read Edward's message as she ran with much emergency downstairs and looked for Butler Ru to ask for the telephone number of Rawlf's office.
"If the twins went to fly for Country P around three in the morning from Country R (three in the afternoon in Country P, and the time of the accident) and since they're boarding our private jet, then.....then...that only means that they might have just arrived or arrived!!"
Veronica was panic-stricken when the butler saw her and worriedly asked her right away. "What happened to the young mistress? Is everything al-."
"Rawlf's office telephone number. I need it", Veronica in a hurried voice demanded.
Seeing the panic and hurried expression of the young mistress, the butler right away pulled something on his left pant's pocket, tore the piece of paper from his small note and gave it to Veronica. Veronica then took it right away and without another word, ran upstairs like a hundred demons were chasing her.
The butler, who was as confused as he was worried, moved to call the young master but was even more confused as the young master's phone was unanswered!
Back in the master bedroom, Veronica hurriedly dialed Rawlf's office telephone and waited patiently as her call was unanswered.
She waited for a good five minutes and couldn't bear anymore and decided to contact Zero. "Good afternoon lad-."
"Zero. Has Edward contacted you?!"
Zero, confused by the lady's panic tone, answered calmly with a "No" and was about to ask why but was right away cut off.
"Prepare the headquarter's rooftop landing! And wait for me there", Veronica then soon dropped the video call leaving the befuddled Zero for some seconds before proceeding to fulfill the task as if a realization dawned on him.
Horror filled Zero's face. "Double trouble", he uttered.
As if sure that her brother together with her twins would choose to land the jet on Baelforce Headquarter, Veronica prepared to change as she stormed downstairs and asked Butler Ru for a free car to use. The confused and worried Butler couldn't stop to ask the unusualness from the young mistress because as soon as she was inside the vehicle, she drove off like she's in a car race competition. This made the butler all the more worried but calmed himself down as he knew that there were already men who were to trail after the young mistress as assigned by the young master to ensure her safety Butler Ru was still trying to contact the young master Rawlf but still failed to hear as the master was on another call.
He resigned for a moment and called once again when his phone rang suddenly. It's the young master!!
"Give the phone to your young mistress." Was the cheerful sound of Rawlf which made the butler's forehead furrowed. But what made the butler wildly surprised and couldn't seem to believe was the sound of a little girl's childlike voice.
It seemed to be giggling as if having her happy time although Butler Ru didn't bother as this is not the main problem.
The problem is, the young mistress was off somewhere!
"She went somewhere in a rush, young master", Butler Ru replied.
"She seemed to be panicking and I have been calling you to report but I didn't manage to get a hold of you earlier."
Rawlf sighed but with an unusually happy tone.
"It's okay. I'll have my men track her. Prepare a feast tonight Butler Ru! And have some maids buy cakes, chocolates and all things which little, cute babies would love!"
Butler Ru was even more wildly confused now? "What is happening now?"
"Yehey! Wats (lots) and wats (lots) of chokweit (chocolate) and keykkk (cake)! Daddeh is dah behst!'
That sound should have been enough to confuse the butler to death but what made him suddenly stop breathing was his young master, his young master Rawlf's doting reply to the adorable childlike voice!!
"Yes, baby girl. Now give daddy a kiss." "Waittttt? What?!"
Butler Ro suddenly staggered.
