Ari, who was oblivious to his father's feelings, said, "Dada, let uncle Luke eat breakfast. You told me it's an imor-imortant meal."

"Important."

"Important."

Miraj and I said the word at the same time while looking at Ari. Ari looked at us both and tried saying it again,"Important. That's what I said."

We all just stared at him because the earlier conversation was derailed now. I don't know about the others but I just wanted my chocolate now. So I turned to my plate and started eating.

Luke started eating too while sneaking glances at Miraj. Miraj openly glared at him.

Then in a small and dangerous voice he said, "Luke, let's go."

Luke was still heartily digging into his food as he said in a completely unaffected manner, "Didn't you hear them? Breakfast is an important meal of the day. And a big and strong body like mine needs these calories."

I swear to god if Ari wasn't there, we would have a full-on duel on our hands right now. Miraj was barely keeping his expressions in check. His hands were in a fist, on his sides. I was enjoying this. It kind of reminded me of the first time I met Miraj. Even then, two hunks were fighting over me. They were half-naked though unlike these two men.

I was thinking of getting a Nutella jar from the kitchen to enjoy in case of a fight, when Pablo, our butler, announced that Dr.Mathews was here. Soon Dr.Mathews walked into our dining room. This man and I had some serious issues. I was feeling like he had walked in right now, purposefully, to rain on my parade. I will need a jar of Nutella to deal with this morning because Mathews had a smile on his face. That definitely can't be good for me.

"Good morning, everyone!"

My God! He was so cheery he couldn't stop smiling. I was curious about why he was so happy but I was more horrified of what he would say. He always had a negative expression on his face when he was in front of me. He could only express his disapproval of me through his expressions and he made complete use of that freedom. If he wasn't frowning or disgusted at me, he would have a dead expression on his face. I had almost convinced myself that it was a medical condition he had because of which he physically couldn't smile o...r he was just constantly constipated. I couldn't believe he could be more creepy than my brain had already made him in my head.

The doctor particularly disliked me but he didn't give out smiles for free to others either so it had surprised the other people in the room too that he was so merry. But they didn't share my fear, just the curiosity. My son was obviously an exception to it all.

"Good Morning Dr.Mathews!", my son said in his adorable voice.

That brought the other two out of shock and they greeted him then.

"Morning Doc", said Luke.

"Good Morning, Mathews", said Miraj and then he asked, "what brings you to the mansion today?"

Mathews was our in-house doctor so he lived on our property but only our family stayed in the mansion. There was a separate servant wing in the mansion for our regular butlers and maids. The doctor lived in separate quarters a little further from the mansion. We didn't have him over for breakfast generally or luckily, in my case. I would blow his head off within a month if I had to see his face everyday. Then I would have to explain things to Miraj... I hate explaining.

Mathews smiled a little more, I didn't know it was possible for him to stretch his lips that far. Then he said, "Oh it is a great day for some company and I have news to share." He looked at me as he said the last part and smiled at me.

Okay. Lets break this down. Dr.Mathews smiled. At me. What the actual fuck?

This son of a bitch was bringing news of my doom or what?

Apart from me, nobody else seemed too interested in his news. Luke was busy with his third pancake. He was a fast eater.

Miraj was staring at Luke eating his third pancake. Maybe he had something to do with Luke's eating speed.

Ari was busy licking chocolate off his fork and letting us adults do adult talk. I pulled his fork away before he poked his tongue with it.

"Tatiana is coming home soon", said the doctor.

Luke and Miraj both stopped what they were doing and turned towards the doctor.

Huh? Who the fuck was Tatiana? And why did her coming home made the doctor smile at me?
