Chapter 53: Chapter 53

Two years later.....

Valeria was in the kitchen with the other maids.

"Hurry up ladies, and Valeria, please don't spill the soup." Mrs Emily barked.

Valeria sighed deeply, then she wiped the sweat off her forehead with the back of her palm.

Over the past two years, Valeria has noticed something about Mrs Emily, and that's, Mrs Emily is nice, but when it comes to work, she can be very strict.

"Alright, Mrs Emily," Valeria muttered.

"Janice, Jane, Mia, you three go set the table, Valeria will bring the rest." Mrs Emily said.

"Okay Mrs Emily." The trio replied.

They placed some plates and food on a trolley, and they each picked theirs and rolled it out of the kitchen.

"Valeria, be fast with that." Mrs Emily said. Valeria nodded.

"God help me."

*****

The table had been set already, Shiella and Ergon sat at the dining table, Noah was nowhere to be seen.

"Isn't Noah coming downstairs?" Shiella asked.

"I don't know mother," Ergon simply replied.

"I wonder what's wrong with that young man, sometimes he acts normal, and sometimes he behaves....." She trailed off, not able to complete her statement.

"Abnormal." Ergon chuckled, and Shiella glared at him.

"Not fun, just eat your food quietly."

"Okay mother." Ergon replied, he left the food he was supposed to eat and grabbed an apple instead.

"What are you doing?" Shiella questioned, her right brow raised up in a questioning manner.

"Uhmm....eating an apple." Ergon replied with a look that said obviously, he was eating an apple.

"I know you're eating an apple silly. My question is, why leave the food and eat an apple instead?"

"I'm not hungry mom."

"Seriously? You've got to be kidding me, and why are you not hungry?" Shiella asked. Ergon sighed.

"I'm just not hungry mom, I'm good at this." He said, twirling the apple in his hand.

Shiella was about to speak when Valeria passed by.

"Valeria," she called.

"Yes ma'am." Valeria answered, turning to face her.

"Please come here honey." Shiella said, and Valeria rushed to meet her.

"You're good friends with Ergon, right?" Shiella asked.

Valeria furrowed her brow in confusion, then she turned to look at Ergon, questioning him with her eyes.

Ergon shrugged, he also couldn't tell what his mother was up to.

"Oh dear, there's no need for you to worry, just answer the question, you're good friends with him, right?" Shiella repeated her question.

"Err....yes ma'am."

"Good, so now, please ask your friend why he isn't hungry. I'm sure he'll speak to you." Shiella said, looking directly at Ergon.

"Mom," Ergon called. He just couldn't believe his mother called Valeria just to ask her that.

"What are you doing mom?"

"Shut up." Shiella said sternly.

Valeria looked at Ergon, then at Shiella.

"W what do you mean ma'am?" Valeria asked.

"The thing is, Ergon has refused to eat proper food." She said, laying emphasis on the word 'proper food'.

"He insists on eating an apple instead, with the excuse that he isn't hungry, and when I asked him why he wasn't hungry, he said it's nothing, that he's just not hungry." Shiela said.

Ergon's gaze met Valeria, and she was looking at him worriedly.

"Oh no." Ergon mentally groaned.

Valeria stood staring at Ergon, she didn't even know what to say at the moment.

"Come on Valeria, tell him to eat." Shiella insisted.

"But ma'am."

"No buts Valeria, I know he listens to you." Shiella interrupted.

Ergon immediately took the remaining apples.

"See you later mum." He yelled and he ran to his room.

"Go after him Valeria, you need to bring him here," Shiella said.

"Yes ma'am." Valeria sighed and she ran after him.

She got to his room and she saw the door was open. The minute she entered, the door was immediately closed.

She turned and she saw Ergon behind her with a smirk on his face. He actually hid behind the door.

"Finally, I got what I wanted at last."

"And what's that supposed to mean?" She asked.

"For the past two days now, you've been really busy and we didn't get to spend time with each other," Ergon said, and held her hands.

"I missed you, Valeria," Ergon said seriously.

"I've missed you too." She smiled and she pecked her lips.

"That won't do, Valeria, I need more," Ergon said, and he grabbed her ass.

"Ergon!" She half yelled, this isn't the first time he'll be doing this. For the past two years now, Ergon has begun acting all spoilt and strange.

There was even a time when he asked her for sex but she'd refused him access. He got angry but he finally agreed to wait for her.

"What! Stop acting shy, you're my girlfriend, remember?" Ergon stated.

"You're silly." She laughed and she stylishly removed his hands from her ass.

Ergon immediately placed his palm on her ass.

"Come on Ergon, stop it." She said.

"I won't, come with me." He said and he removed his hands on her ass and he sat on the bed.

"Here." He tapped his lap, Valeria furrowed her brows, wondering what he meant.

"Sit on my lap, Valeria," Ergon said.

"You're insane." Valeria scoffed and she sat beside him.

"I thought as much," Ergon said in disappointment.

"You know you're becoming too razzy," Valeria stated.

"And you're becoming really disobedient, you don't do everything I ask you to do." Ergon retorted.

"Just like how your mum asked you to eat your food but you refused, I'm learning from you."

"Gosh, I better stop talking, else someone will keep on saying something that isn't related to what we're discussing." Ergon said and Valeria giggled, knowing fully well that he was indirectly talking to her.

"Ergon, my baby." She laughed and Ergon found himself laughing also.

She has a way of controlling things in her ways.

"Valeria, where is Ergon?" She heard Shiella's voice from downstairs.

"Oh my goodness!, come with me Ergon." She said, she pulled him along, and they hurriedly ran downstairs.
