Chapter 8: Newfound spirit

Mr. Brown followed her from behind and stood by her door, silently listening to her talking to herself while sniffing from time to time due to the cold. He stayed there and only make a sound when he could no longer hear any noise coming from inside...he opens the door and walk in, quietly taking a seat by the side of the bed, he stares at his little princess sleeping all peacefully and beautifully. A sad smile forms on his lips as he lowers his head and peeks her on her forehead causing Amalia to moan in satisfaction.

He went back to his room and lay on the bed as Lizzy slept peacefully beside him. Sleep was a mile away from him as he motionlessly stared at the ceiling without blinking with his thought running wide. Light pops up on the phone screen that was placed by his bedside and starts puzzling jolting him from his trance. He pick up the phone and check on his phone but wasn't surprised to see the caller's name because he has been expecting a call from him, his assistant. The call lasted for some minutes before ending...compare to the way he was, his facial expression was worse, the information he received didn't go well with him, with what his assistant said, it means he will be spending more than three months at least, due to some unforeseen circumstances. He was already feeling bad about the trip and now, things are not getting any better for him, and don't know what to do. He takes a long and deep breath to calm his nerves, he needs courage and strength to handle this cause it was becoming tougher than he presumed, he loves to spend time with his family, especially his little princess but he can't jeopardize his work. He closes his eyes silently praying for help and without knowing, he slowly drifts off.

Amalia woke up a little late with a full and determined spirit, she was determined to do all those things she has always wanted to do and without delay, she ran to the bath and took a quick shower, and dress up nicely before heading downstairs. In the kitchen, she starts making her dad's coffee just the way he likes it. He likes his coffee to be darker than normal with a maximum of three cubes of sugar, she was very careful with her every action as she made the coffee with a beautiful and charming smile on her lips with sparkling eyes. She felt so happy doing it and though she has always wished to do such, she didn't know doing it will make her this happy. She made the coffee, pouring all her love into it cause nothing matters more than her dad's happiness, she loves her dad more than anything in this world. She pour the coffee into a coffee cup gently after she was done making it and carried it upstairs to her dad.

she knocks on the door softly, waiting for the person inside to open and t give her mission to come in but after waiting for some time, she decides to go in. Slowly, she opens the door and peek inside to see who was there and was more relieved to see her dad still sleeping peacefully, and apart from him, there was no one else.

She walks in quietly and places the cup of coffee on the cupboard next to her dad's bed before taking her seat by his side..."good morning, my King" she greeted with a soft yet angelic voice as she stares at her dad who slowly opens his eyes trying to get accustomed with the brightness of the room. She smiles at him sweetly, took his hand, and place a kiss on it before doing the same on his forehead...he was stunned by her actions he stare at her adorable little face with love and pride. A smile spread on his lips..." good morning, Sunshine" he greeted with lots of love evidence in his eyes.

"I made your favorite coffee, just for you...and just the way you like it," she said and give him the coffee which he gladly took and siped on it. A sweet and satisfied smile appears on his lips..." Uhmmm, as expected of my adorable princess, only you know knows daddy's choice" making her giggle happily. The duos continued talking for some time before Amalia excused herself for her dad to freshen up.

She goes back to the kitchen and starts preparing breakfast with a happy face. She sang beautifully as she continued cooking, making the house lively. The maids were all amazed at how beautiful she could sing, her voice was like that of an angel. They peek at her doing her work and were oblivious to what was going on. After what seemed like forever, she was finally done preparing the food as she serve it in the dining with the help of Mrs.Williams, the was enough that could contain the whole household including the workers. Her dad, stepmother, and Dellia came down and took their respective seat..the breakfast when smoothly as everyone was so immersed in their meal through the mother and daughter were constantly stealing glances at the father and daughter who were immersed in their fantasy world.

Amalia is with a happy face and her dad looks all pleased. Though he hoped for today to be good, he didn't know it will be this great. He glance at Dellia and smiled happily, how did he wish his family will stay this way but he knows that wish of his will never come to pass.
