Last time, it came to knowledge that Rémi would come to work exhausted, but covered it up with a smile. Then I heard him mumbled in his sleep. "I'm sorry Lily. Please forgive me."
When I was looking for my mother, I saw her leering at a man who looked like Rémi.
Mom, who is that man? I asked..
Mai followed me.
He looks like Rémi. Mai replied.
Rémi? Basile asked. From your expression, it seems you've met my youngest son. Bastile replied. What do you mean? I asked. His name is Jax Rémi Maire Uribe, correct? Bastile replied. That is his name. I thought. You are the last person to call yourself a father. Esme replied. Girls go upstairs. Minato replied.
Alright. Mai and I replied.

Later on that day, I heard a panic in the guest room.
Rémi woke up in a panic.
He gets out the bed.
Did I fall asleep on the job? No no no. Rémi replied.
Rémi, I need you to calm down for me. Esme replied. Don't tell me, I feel asleep on the job. Rémi replied.
He grabbed his hair.
You hid your sleep deprivation well. Esme replied. I don't care. I just don't want to be fired. Rémi replied. You will not get fired. Esme replied. I am going against the promise I made. Rémi replied. Listen to me, Rémi. I made Minato put you up in this room. Esme replied. Why do you constantly harass that man? Rémi asked. No, he just needs to step down to reality. Esme replied. Humble him? Rémi asked. Of course. Other than me. Someone has been worried about you. Esme replied.
I walked in.
My mom left and shut the door.
Rémi, you are awake. I replied.
I hugged him.
Mai hugs him.
He smiles.
I think at that moment he felt appreciated.
Now that I think about it, Rémi. Mai replied. Yes, what is it? Rémi asked. If you were as sleep deprived as you were. Why would you come into work? Mai asked. A promise keeps me going. Rémi replied. I heard about that promise. Mai replied. Mai, stop beating behind the bushes and tell him. I replied.
Rémi gives Mai a blank stare.
What are trying to ask me, Mai? Rémi asked..
Well, a few hours ago, we saw a man who looked like a middle-aged version of you at the house. Mai replied.
What color were his eyes and hair? Rémi asked..
He had beautiful jade eyes and dark brown.
I saw the fear and terror in his eyes.
Yes, you two met my father. Rémi replied.
Are you ok, Rémi? Mai asked.
No. Your dad probably told your father I'm alive. Rémi replied. Is that a bad thing? I asked. Yes, and now he is going to make my life a living hell. Rémi replied.
He sighs.
I just want nothing bad to happen to my mother. Rémi replied.
Also you. I feel he had something to do with hurting you like Lily. Rémi thought.
What time is it? Rémi asked. It is four thirty. Mai replied. I slept through an entire shift? Rémi replied. Yes. Mai replied. My mom wouldn't let our off the hook for this. I replied. Your mom has a way with words then. Mai replied. She always has. Rémi replied.
We laughed.
Since tomorrow is your day off, we will leave you be. Mai replied. My dad off? Rémi asked. Tomorrow you can sleep in. Mai replied. Seriously? Rémi asked. Yes, Rémi. I replied.
As the day was coming to a close, Rémi went home thinking about his day off.
I could feel something wasn't right after we briefly met his father.
What is this feeling?
Stay Tuned.
