Married to my nemesis-Chapter 204: Trick

From his preoccupied gaze his eyes shot around the area alerted by the familiar voice, he wandered around curious about where the voice had come from.

"Master," the maid who approached Arthur called out to him.

Of course she had to stay in a pretense since Abi requested of them to.

"Young Master is anything the matter?" The maid voiced out as he stopped and then shot his gaze at her, a frown on his face.

"Did you hear Mummy’s voice?"

"Well—"

"Of course, she heard. Your mother is around here and she wants to know if you really know where she is," Abi intentionally teased him as she raised her hand to cover her mouth so she wouldn’t release a chuckle.

Arthur’s expression was curious about the matter.

He was sure he heard the voice of his mother but as he looked around, it felt as though they played with his emotions.

Without any other choice since he thought he was going to lose the game, he walked over to the maid and held her hand with pleading eyes.

"Do you know where mummy is?" He said in a childish but expecting tone.

She looked over him in direction to where she hid but then her gaze flashed by since Abi had instructed with her gestures not to inform Arthur no matter what.

Arthur turned around since he caught her glimpse but then he was disappointed to see it was some painting that his father had bought recently and set as the stationery piece at the entrance of the house. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"What happened young master," the maid said a bit tactful.

Arthur pointed at the area though his eyes concentrated on it before he turned his focus back to the woman.

"Mummy, do you know where she is?" He repeatedly questioned her expectant of an answer.

The woman simply shook her head and then politely directed him towards another maid.

"Are you going to leave Mummy here? You wouldn’t even call me," Abi purposefully spoke as Arthur stopped and then turned around.

He was sure that he could hear her voice.

"Mummy?" He called out alerted by her words.

The other mistress stopped and then turned to Arthur behaving like she was surprised by his sudden stop.

"Young master?" She called out to him as he averted his gaze from those wondering eyes.

"Did you hear, Mummy?"

The mistress stared at him for a while and then she shook her head.

"It must be a part of your imagination young master. You just came back from school, I’m sure you’re hungry, " she feigned.

Arthur was worried at the moment, he knew there was something wrong, the maids proclaimed that she was not around then—

How was he hearing her?

He had a thought, could he ask his father instead?

He turned to the maid about to question but then he got to elevator.

He was firstly asked to enter the elevator before she entered, Arthur knew this time he needed no compulsion so he entered obediently.

He waited for a while at the elevator and then the next moment, he headed towards the dinning area just to see his food set from a far gaze.

Well from the time he was at the elevator till he reached the dinning room, he didn’t a voice.

So that could possibly mean that it was all part of his imagination.

He had a thought at the moment.

What if he calls his mother?

He really wanted to speak to her.

Instead of heading towards the dinning table, he walked towards one of the mistresses and then placed a pleasing eyes.

He tugged unto the cloth requesting for his phone.

The woman was about to reject that but then he used the only tactics he thought was worthy at the moment.

"I’ll report to daddy if you don’t give me," he stared in a threaten tone.

Without any other choice, his phone was brought forward.

"Young master," the woman called out to him as she handed him his device.

Arthur was quick, swiped through the device and in no time he reached the call dialer.

He wasted no time to call Abi as he walked towards the dinning table even if he knew he was banned from bringing his phone near the table.

He sat on his eat but placed the phone close to him, he waited patiently for the phone to get answered and after a while, the call ended without a response.

Arthur frowned and then called again but then the call was just like before.

It ended without an answer.

Arthur annoyingly threw his phone on the ground and once the mistresses brought forward his meal in it’s plate, he gave a push setting the plate backwards.

"Young master, don’t you want to take them?"

Arthur shook his head aggressively and then folded his arms with a pouted lips.

"No I don’t want to," Arthur confronted.

The mistress looked at him able to comprehend to his feelings, she sighed and then gently crouched so she could place a hand on his locked arm.

"You know what Young Master?"

Arthur turned to her with curious eyes.

"I heard children who take their meal get to see their mum’s because they become healthy boys. So if you want your mother to come and not be so worried whether your healthy or not, then I ask of you to eat your food. "

She stated to him as Arthur’s eyes brightened.

" Really? "

The mistress nodded.

" Is just like a wishing star, you’ll see the effect soon. "

Without any other choice, Arthur forced himself to take his spoon and then dug into his food.

This was to make his dream come true, as he continued eating the food, his eyes wondered around hoping whatever he was doing comes to pass.

He was anticipated, taking every scoop slow and careful, for a while his hopes where high but since he couldn’t sight her anywhere, his face loose and then a displeased expression on his face.

He dropped the spoon with a sour look.

The mistress who talked about the matter was about to approach him but then he arrogantly walked away.

"Young Master," she called out to him.

"I don’t want to hear you," he murmured in a sad tone as he walked up the stairs filled up in his disappointment, he really thought he was going to sight his mother but he never thought it was all a joke.

It took a while but in the meanwhile, Abi thought of surprising him not in the dinning room but somewhere that would really make him elated.

If she came out surprisingly when he was eating, he could choke on his meal.

So she set out on another setting.

While Arthur marched towards his room, he held the knob of the door and thought of staying in bed not until his lesson teachers came to tutor him.

After all he had to wait for some time before his so called happiness will distinguish.

He walked towards the bed about to lie but then he didn’t notice the person who stood behind the door with folded arms.

He walked towards the bed about to take a jump but then he stopped when he heard her voice once again.

"You wouldn’t give Mummy a hug, you should know I’ve missed you so much," he turned around hoping this wasn’t part of his imagination this time but as he turned just to sight her.

A wide smile on his face, the displeased expression on his face a while ago lit up and then he excitedly called out.

"Mummy," he shrieked and then took a sprint towards Abi who also laughed, his arms extended and then in a leap, he wrapped his arms around Abi’s neck just for her to lift him and then she whirled.

"Oh my little boy," Abi stated as she gave him kisses on the head.

Arthur chuckled really elated about to situation, he felt comfortable he rested his head on his mother’s head.

After a while, Abi placed him on the ground so she could stare into his face.

"How as my little champion being doing," she said with a chuckle as she played with his chin.

Arthur nodded and then gave thumbs up.

"I missed you so much mummy," he spouted as Abi chuckled.

"I also missed you but then I never thought you would have so many adventures without me being around. Look at you now, my little one has become a big boy in just a short time," Arthur happily nodded.

"Oh my, my jumbo is happy," she commented.

He nodded and then extended his arms to her.

"Mummy do you remember that you said you would give me kisses and a hug?"

Abi placed her hand on her chin as caressed it, she behaved like she was wondering for a while and then she looked at him with teasing eyes.

"Oh really? I said that? I don’t think I could recall those times," she stated and just in the next second Arthur placed a displeased face on with pouted lips.
