Chapter 59 {Our Missing Brother}

"And then he told me that if I want to eat any kind of good I must tell the chief he has a lot of guards as well anyway our daddy is handsome but also somewhat looks scary."

Atticus and Raven were both speechless for a moment, processing what Chloe had just said.

"He...he told you to tell the chief if you want good food?" Atticus repeated slowly, his mind trying to make sense of it all.

Raven's expression was thoughtful.

"And he looks handsome but scary...hmm."

"Wait wait wait…so you think our dad is the same man who got our precious mommy pregnant mommy?" Atticus asked coldly protective over his mom.

Chloe nodded eagerly, her eyes sparkling with certainty.

"Yes! I'm sure of it!" she said firmly. "He looks exactly like the man who got mommy pregnant."

Raven's expression was more circumspect.

"Are you sure, Chloe? It sounds like a pretty big coincidence..."

Chloe's expression turned serious, her eyes pleading with her siblings to believe her.

"I'm positive," she insisted. "I know it sounds crazy, but I just have this feeling that he's our dad."

Atticus looked skeptical still protective over his mom but also somewhat curious

"You all forgot something of his our dad and his son is Felix doesn't that me his our missing brother that mommy has been looking for?" Raven said.

Atticus and Raven both froze for a moment as the realization hit them.

"Wait...you're right," Atticus said slowly.

"Felix is his son..."

Raven's eyes widened as she put the pieces together.

"And if Felix is our brother..."

They both looked at Chloe who was still smiling innocently.

"That means he could be our dad..."

"So if our missing brother is with our maybe birth dad if mommy finds out that Felix is in this hotel wouldn't hell will break out."

Atticus and Raven exchanged a worried look.

"Yeah...if mom finds out that Felix is here and that this man might be our dad..."

Atticus ran a hand through his hair, clearly concerned.

"We need to keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't find out," Raven said firmly.

"Yeah it's best if mommy and that man fall in love," Chloe said in a charming smile.

Atticus and Raven both let out a sigh, realizing they weren't going to change Chloe's mind.

"Fine," Atticus said reluctantly. "But we have to be careful about this."

Raven nodded in agreement.

"And we need to keep an eye on mom. We can't let her find out about this until we know more."

Chloe beamed at them, clearly pleased with herself.

"You guys are the best!" she said cheerfully.

"I knew I could count on you."

Atticus rolled his eyes but couldn't help smiling slightly at his sister's enthusiasm.

Atticus and Raven exchanged a look of agreement.

"You're right," said Atticus.

"We need to meet this Felix guy first."

Raven nodded in agreement.

"And we need to do it discreetly, so mom doesn't find out."

Chloe's eyes lit up with excitement.

"I can help!" she exclaimed. "I can go talk to him and see what he's like."

Atticus and Raven both looked at Chloe skeptically.

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Atticus asked.

"What if he recognizes you?"

"You can't Chloe first there are three problems, problem number 1 we are no longer in the vip room, problem number 2 we all look alike, problem number 3 our so called brother is well protected getting close to our brother is going extremely hard!"

Atticus and Raven both nodded in agreement.

"You're right," said Atticus.

"It's too risky for any of us to approach him directly."

Raven pursed her lips thoughtfully.

"We need another way..."

"Mommy seems to hate that man, plus Chloe it will be hard for mommy to fall in love with a man who kicked her out of the vip room."

Atticus and Raven both looked at each other, realization dawning on their faces.

"You're right," said Atticus slowly.

"Mom was furious when she got kicked out of the vip room."

Raven's expression turned thoughtful.

"And if we want mom to fall in love with this man..."

Atticus and Raven both looked at each other, their expressions serious.

"We need to find a way to make them talk," Atticus said firmly.

Raven nodded in agreement.

"And we have to do it without mom finding out."

"Really mommy and our dad will fall in love!?"

Atticus and Raven both smiled at Chloe's innocent optimism.

"We don't know for sure," said Atticus gently.

"But we're going to try our best."

Raven placed a hand on Chloe's shoulder.

"And we need your help to make it happen."

"Heheh don't worry, I will help what's the plan?"

Atticus and Raven exchanged a look, both of them impressed by Chloe's eagerness.

"First, we need to figure out a way for mom and our dad-to-be to talk without mom realizing what's happening," Atticus said.

Raven nodded in agreement.

"And we need to do it without drawing attention to ourselves."

Chloe's eyes sparkled with excitement as she listened intently.

"Okay," she said eagerly.

"What do you need me to do?"

Atticus and Raven both smiled at her enthusiasm.

"First," said Atticus, "we need you to keep an eye on mom and make sure she doesn't find out what we're up to."

"And you need to be discreet about it. We don't want her getting suspicious." Raven added.

"Of course," Chloe said smiling innocently.

Atticus and Raven both smiled at her, grateful for her cooperation.

"Good," said Atticus. "We'll take care of the rest."

Raven patted Chloe on the head affectionately.

"Just make sure you keep mom distracted and away from our dad-to-be, okay?"

"Rav do you really think he is our dad?" Atticus whispered so Chloe doesn't hear them.

"I am not sure yet."

Atticus and Raven both nodded in agreement.

"We need to keep an eye on him," Atticus said quietly.

"And make sure mom doesn't find out he's here," Raven added.

Chloe, still oblivious to their whispered conversation, continued eating her dessert.
