Chapter 124 - The Request over Breakfast

The serene silence was disturbed by the creaking sound of the old wooden door leading to the back yard of the house slowly being opened up. Using his right feet, Aiden agilely pulled the door before slipping in through the widening crack. 

In his arm, he was cradling the little koala, Lily, who refused to let go no matter what. In the end, he had to come to a compromise and agree to carry her all the way to the already prepared breakfast table, where Granny and Number 3 was silently sitting watching the approaching brother-sister pair.

Seeing them approaching in such a manner, they subtly exchanged looks, already aware of what must be done.

Arriving at the table, Aiden walked up to an empty chair. Leaning in against her right ear, he gently whispered, his breath causing to tingle and evoke a multitude of emotions in the troubled girl. 

"We are at the table, Lily. You have to let me go, you promised you will be a good girl."
