Chapter 141 - MOMENT WITH VIEN 2

After I finished bathing Vien, I changed her into a floral dress with puff sleeves which she liked. Her eyes gleamed as she looked at her reflection in the mirror.

She's an adorable child.

I tied her hair into a ponytail and tied a ribbon on top. She liked it too. Her lips curled into a sweet smile when her gaze shifted to the pink ribbon that secured her curls.

"T-thank… y-you… Mm..mama."?She whispered shyly after turning towards me.

Even if she stutters every time she says a word, it was still a good sign that she was recovering. It would not take long before she would be able to speak fluently.

I gave her a smile bright enough to surpass the sunlight penetrating through the glass floor to ceiling glass window.

"Welcome Vien." I replied.

I look at her with love and tenderness. She was just one year old when I last saw her.?The years seem to travel faster and now she's a big girl. Years have been stolen from us but I don't think about it anymore. What's important is that she's alive.

I turned the television on and selected a kid's channel.?She sat on top of the bed and leaned on the headboard. Her gaze focused on the show.

Before heading for the bathroom I eyed her one last time. Seeing that she would be fine for a while without me, I strode to the bathroom door and pulled it open.

The spacious bathroom greeted my vision. Once inside, I stripped my clothes and hopped under the shower.

Minutes after I had taken a bath and dried my hair, I emerged from the bathroom wearing a loose t-shirt and denim jeans Claire had given me.

Vien was still seated on the bed. Her eyes were intently glued to the television. Her gaze suddenly turned towards my direction when she heard footsteps.

I turned the television off and helped Vien get off from the bed. Her dainty fingers tightly held mine as we moved to the door, to the long corridors, and down the stairs where the kitchen is located.

Claire greeted us with a smile when we reached the kitchen. She was seated on one of the chairs.?She was well prepared. Her?lavender dress she wore today looks good on her flawless white skin. The color made her appear younger than her real age. Even her golden brown hair was neatly pinned on her nape.

Lady Ravenwood is the epitome of youthful beauty and perfection as she sat there on the table. She turned towards Vien and her smile brightened even more, "Did you sleep well last night Vien?" She asked softly.

Vien's lips stretched into a vibrant smile and nodded her head. She sat down after I pulled a chair for her. When she was settled, I took the chair next to hers.

"The car that we?would use to reach the estate is already prepared." Claire began while waiting for the servants to finish bringing all the food on the table. "Bodyguards will be coming to us to ensure our safe journey."

That good news lifted my mood even higher. "I don't know how to thank you, Claire." For the first time I called her name.

She shook her head, "You don't have to thank me, Phoenix. We are a family, aren't we?" She added brightly in which I nodded my head.

"Yes, we are family." I repeated, the words made my heart overflow with emotions. It sounds strange hearing it for the first time but it felt so wonderful that I can't describe the feeling in words.

Speaking of family, I wonder when Ace will return. I would love to see his expression once he sees Vien. He would be so happy. 'Happy' would even be an understatement. He would?be shocked like he never did before.

But for now, the only thing I should worry about is going home. Faith is waiting for me. I hope she's fine while we are on the way.

I let out a deep sigh and filled Vien's plate with food. She silently ate.

I served my plate with food and I began to eat too.

***

It was seven in the morning when we left Claymore Mansion.

Inside the van, I was seated near the window and Vien was beside me, leaning her head on my shoulders with her eyes closed. Claire was sitting next to my daughter, her eyes on the window, looking at the exquisite view we passed by.

Lady Ravenwood's bullet-proof van traversed the highway under the picturesque blue sky. Behind the van were half a dozen bodyguards driving their private cars. And then driving ahead of the Van clad in black jackets were the security team riding in their motorcycles.

Claire wasn't joking when she told me that she would employ a dozen bodyguards. By the amount of security guards surrounding the van, I wonder if Vince would even try to come near us.

If he dares to try to attack in this situation, he would be the most courageous man I have ever known. But knowing Vince, I bet he would not dare risk his life at this moment.?He was no match for a dozen experienced men who work in the best security agency.

The van surrounded by the chain-tight security was attracting too much attention. People who recognize the car's insignia set their car aside so we could pass first.

Without a doubt, the Ravenwood family is the wealthiest and most influential noble family in the country. They are also a close relative of the Queen that rules Brittania. Well, I just realized the truth after I searched it on the internet.

Sighing, I sunk deeper into the soft cushioned seat. It's okay to fall asleep. We would be safe since we have a lot of bodyguards. Anyway, it would take an hour before we reached our destination. I must use the time to rest.

I draped an arm around Vien and pulled her closer. It felt so good sitting there inside the car with her beside me. I closed my eyes and slept until we reached Madam Stella's Estate.
