A CEO Love: Moving House

"We are moving back to the house this weekend, the renovation has been completed,"stated Chris.

Since we signed the marriage paper, Chris has commissioned for renovation work to be done at the main Tan family house. He mentioned his lair on top of T Tower is not for a family and definitely not child friendly. It would be better to stay at the main house where his parents are. They could even get more babysitter and Alice will be moving into the staff quarters of the main house too. Apparently she is an agent assigned for Charlotte wellbeing and safety.

Angela didn't realised until the day of the move when agents emerged from the other three apartment units on her floor that the entire floor has been bought by Chris to ensure their safety. Packing become so easy when you have a group of standby movers.

With her mind unoccupied, Angela start to fret on the way to the main house. What will her in-law say when they have gotten married without their permission? Will they despise Charlotte since she is not really Chris's daughter? Charlotte on the other hand was really happy. She talks about castle and princess and something about a unicorn along the way.

The car rolled up to a big mansion on top of Dragon Hill, a luxurious private residence area for the rich in the Central City. One can buy the land and built their own dream home as long as they have the money. However, there is only one mansion on top of the hill perimeter by four hectares of grassland and bordered by forests. The other private residence are along the mountain belt and foot of the mountain closed to a private club and golf course.

When we arrived a dozen of agents help to move stuff, we didn't bring anything other than clothing, stuff that I compiled over the years for work and mainly Charlotte toys and books. Chris reassured me everything we need will be ready.

Chris shown me our room which was as big as my apartment with built-in bathroom and a huge walk-in wardrobe. He told me that he has chosen some clothes for me but I could always get it exchanged if I don't like at Solace, a designer flagship store in the city which takes months to get a fitting appointment.

My mouth drop when I saw Charlotte's room. "Mummy, shawping!" Charlotte shouted with open arms turning around her room. It looks like a princess room with a big crystal chandelier, a four post bed frame together with pink curtains, night stand, antique standing mirror not to mention a custom made wardrobe full of dresses of all colours.

"This is what you buy when I was knock out at the beach resort?!" Angela raised her voice.

"No....no...this is what she saw advertised on the screen in the shop when we were selecting toys for her toy room and she said she like her room to be like the princess room,"Chris explained in panic.

"She has a toy room?!"Angela sounds exasperated.

They went to the toy room and Angela is speechless.Just as she managed to put her thoughts together....

"Aw.....my princess is here,"an older man with sandy hair and golden eyes walk in.

"Granddaddy!"Charlotte rushed to the man and was scoop up into his arms.

The man walk to Angela and put out his hand with a big smile,"Raymond Tan my dear, I hope you don't mind I make myself known to princess beforehand. I couldn't wait."

Angela shake her head and Raymond firm hand at the same time.

"Come on, YiXin has been waiting for your arrival,"he speak to Angela.

"Your grandmother has prepared a gift for you princess and you are going to love it!"Raymond said to Charlotte.

Angela look at Chris who just shrugged his shoulder indicating he has no idea.

They went to the back of the mansion into a glass tea house where a dainty lady is preparing tea. She has an exquisite face although it shows sign of aging and precise demeanour in her task. A cup of tea was place in front of Angela,"It is nice to finally meet you my dear." She has a kind smile but somehow Angela detected a faint touch of sadness in her.

"Well, this must be princess Charlotte,"she declared at little one. "Grandma, has something special for you. Look....."she pointed out into the meadow behind the house. A groom was holding onto a white pony.

"Unicorn!" Charlotte shouted and jump in Raymond arms. "Gandpapa, unicorn!" "Daddy can we go see please..."

The two men was dragged by the little girl out into the meadow. Angela was left alone with her mother in-law.

"You can call me YiXin or Mum like Chris,"she said.

"Mum, this is too much of a gift for Charlotte,"Angela is at a lost of all the preparation done just for the little girl, as well as her prepared speech for her future in-laws. They acted so naturally like the mother and daughter pair already fit in the family. Angela who initially lost hope yearns for a real family at this moment. She is going to keep this sense of belonging forever.

"Did Chris talk to you about his 'highly superior autobiographical memory'? He has inherited it from me, unfortunately,"YiXin looks a bit sad and reminiscing.

"Yes, he did. He told me he cannot forget,"Angela replied.

"It is good that he found you before he became like me. Having memories imprinted in your mind could lead to demented thinking and behavior. The person could feel that they have done the same action over and over again even though it's just once. If he or she is highly train, it can be dangerous for they can turn insane on other or oneself. Please bear with him if he is over possessive and obsessive with you. I rather it be you than anything else,"YiXin explained.

Angela was taken aback. She didn't realised when Chris talk about unable to forget means everything is recorded like a copy in your head.

Charlotte chose this time to return to the glass tea house,"Mummy! Did you see my unicorn? Grandpapa said it's my birthday present. Thank you Grandma!"
