Their parents left for the baby section and he took the shopping bags and gave it to their two bodyguards that are tagging along. She looked down the floor every time that he would talk to her. He put his hand over her other shoulder.

"You know, you shouldn't be shy. Besides, if you call mom and dad to mom and dad, they will be very happy. But I am not pushing you so. During weekdays, I won't be home. I'll be in the academy so, there will be no big brother that will mess with you."

​​

"You are staying in the academy?" She asked and looked up at him.

"Yes." He nodded. "We also need to change your glasses."

"I—I am fine with my glasses."

"Nope." He shook his head.

They first went to a Pattinson Technology Shop and he chose the latest phone for her and explained to him about the specs and other stuff before the seller would even speak. Esme smiled when the seller would back-out already. Then, he also chose a matching laptop to the phones and it has original ear pods freebies and case.

Esme's eyes widen as he paid for more than 100 thousand for those gadgets. He also added it with comfortable cases and other accessories for the phone and laptop.

"We will need a new one that would fit in any outfit."

"But—"

"That's how we spend money. You shouldn't worry about that." He patted her head.

They soon reached the eyewear and she had a consultation after they pick up glasses. He added two more just in case and then two sets of contact lens just in case.

While her glasses are being made, the doctor taught her how to put the contact lens and she said that it stung. Now, he could see her light brown eyes and she had beautiful eyes, but it was hidden behind the glasses.

If she was confident enough, lots of boys will come after her. But it's good that she's a little shy but he's worried that she'll get bullied in the school since the school that she's going to enter is an Elite School.

"Don't scratch your eyes," Laurence mumbled. She blinked.

"Can I remove it?" She asked the doctor. The doctor nodded and she removed it with her finger and put it back on the case of the contact lens.

They left the shop and she's using her old thick glasses.

"Are you hungry? Mom and Dad are already in the Asian Restaurant." He mumbled and checked their location.

They went to the Asian Season in the restaurant section of the mall. There is a four-seater table for them and then another four-seater table for their bodyguards.

Ash grinned.

"So, did you have fun?" Ash asked Esme. She only nodded. "So, what did you bought?"

"Uh," she looked at Laurence.

"Her phone and laptop only needed to install a sim card that we use so her laptop could work anywhere with access to unlimited internet," Laurence mumbled. "You order a lot." He said and looked at the gigantic lobster, shrimps, Japanese lunch.

"Esme needed to try the Asian Season," Percy said. "You aren't allergic to any seafood?"

"No." She mumbled.

"I'm starving, let's eat," Laurence said and took the lobster and started removing the shells and put fat flesh of it over Esme's plate. Percy smiled. They should've adopted sooner. Laurence would love it and now he's taking care of her as he does to his cousins.

They chatted a lot as they eat and Laurence fed her more because she looked too skinny. He hasn't heard about Esme's story, but she looked like she suffered from hunger. Maybe she works while studying and while her mother is at the hospital.

After lunch, they went to the Home Décor store. He looked around and there's nothing for him there to buy. He's fine with his room and since they are there to buy something for Esme and their upcoming baby boy.

"Don't you like these sheets?" Ash asked, assisting Esme.

He sat on a bean bag couch and it's comfortable and he relaxed as he chats his cousins. They should be clubbing during Saturday but even that is canceled because of the threat in their family. So, maybe he'll just play video games and exercise more. They can't even go out and hook up and maybe fuck someone. His father limits him on lots of things after the ambush where those little Princesses are after their Shopping Appointment.

The salesman approached him.

"I���m buying the same couch like this. I want a color of navy blue." He said without even glancing.

"Uhm, we have other designs." He offered him the tablet that he's holding, and he checked it and tapped the bean bag couch that he wanted without looking at the price and gave it to the salesman. "Is that all, sir?" He looked at Esme.

"Do you have an ergonomic table?" He asked again. He remembers, she doesn't have a study table.

"Yes, sir." He stood. "This way, sir." He followed the salesman to the table and desk section. He looked around and found a very convenient desk with a built-in phone charger and laptop charger.

"Esme." He called out and Esme turned to him. He waved at her and she approached him. He explained to her about the table and the salesman agreed and introduced her more tables.

"I'll go with whatever is good," Esme told him.

"Great. I'll set the table and the chair for you." Laurence patted her head and he pointed a table and then he told her to check out the comfortable swivel chairs.

They walked around the mall until five in the afternoon and they are all tired. They soon reached the house and the desks and chairs and other things that they order had been delivered to the house.

His dad was on the phone as they walked around to buy a few more stuff. He's giving instructions to their head butler and maid about the interior that they bought, and he didn't let any driver and helper inside the house. The guards and butler and maids take it inside to her room. They are very cautious even with a simple delivery boy and helper.

They arrived home at six-thirty and mom helped with organizing her room. They needed muscles so he was called by her mother to carry there and their whatever stuff it is and the maids wash her new clothes and it just takes a little time until it was dry and good as new to wear.

They also set it up to her walk-in closet that hasn't been filled yet. Esme is very puzzled about many clothes and shoes that appeared and came from nowhere.

"This is perfect," Ash said. His mother is an event planner and so, she's good at organizing and Esme only goes along. He helped on setting up her table and once that it was done, from walls to the study corner except for the walk-in closet.

He sat on the bean bag couch that he bought and relaxed there and looked around her room. The walls are colored in light purple and even the curtains and then the sheets. He took the remote and turned on the television that appeared from the wall and he searched for a movie and play it.

They are too busy to organize the walk-in closet telling her to throw away old clothes.

"I bought you knew pants and new shorts and new PJs. You should wear it. Those are comfortable." Ash told her softly.

"Uhm, but you don't have to—"

"Your mom entrusts you to me. Besides, I am your godmother so, you shouldn't worry too much. Besides, your big brother will help you with anything. Don't hesitate to ask for his help or my help or your dad."

"Thank you," Esme said. Laurence listened to them.

"I know that it is hard for you, but you need to just keep going. We will discuss later the school you wanted."

"Just a normal school." She said.

"You have lots of good choices," Ash told.

They come out finally and he almost fell asleep from the bean bag couch.

"Was it done? Do still need my help?" Laurence asked.

"Yes. We are done." Ash said. "Help your sister on her computer and phone."

"Yup." Laurence stood and stretched his arms. He left the room to his room. He slumped to his bed and closed his eyes. His phone started chiming with notification and he checked it. He laughed when the twins are complaining about the cancelation of their Clubbing.

Someone knocked on the door and soon it was opened. He sat up and found her mother. She entered and sat on his bed.

"You are tired. Why won't you take a nap?"

"It's nearly dinner. I enjoy our family shopping." She said. Laurence hugged her and kissed her temple.

"I am glad."

"Rence, promise me to protect Esme. She had gone through so much."

"Of course." He answered. "She's family and our baby Zayne."

"I can't wait for Zayne."

"So, you'll stop working?"

"No. I'll just work from home so I could focus on Esme and Zayne. You are always away and soon, you'll enter college." She hugged him. "I just realize that you grow so tall."

He laughed and kissed her head.

"Don't worry, mom. I'll protect my siblings."
