Love In chaos: I chose to love you

Chapter 5: Son’s negligence



The chirping of the early morning birds were indeed music to the ears, Zosia who had just finished setting the fire placed the large pot on the fire, the scene Athena was welcomed with "sister in law" Athena frowned as she rushed in however Zosia had already poured in some water after which she threw in the wild potatoes she cooked the day before "it's just a small task, I'm not that weak" Zosia commented as she cracked the second wild chicken egg from last night, grabbing a few handmade seasoning from her space she mixed them into the egg then added some water and soy sauce mixed throughly and set in the pot to cook throughly

"Sister in law" Athena bit her lips anxiously as she watched Zosia scooped out some flour to make pancakes "with or without war, the children needs to be healthy.... Look how thin they are" Zosia pointed the obvious and Athena lowered her head in shame.

Seeing Athena like this Zosia want back to cooking, soon a delicious aroma filled the yard drawing the children over "go wash your hands and feet quickly, your big sis isn't strong yet don't give her germs!" Athena said loudly and the children ran off to the wash basin outside to clean up "you should also wash up" Zosia pointed out and Athena awkwardly walked out leaving Zosia to handle things in the kitchen

By the time the whole family was done cleaning up, the table in the yard was already spread with breakfast "father" Athena smiled seeing Lester and Lebron walking over "child, you should be resting" Lebron scolded his free hand caressed his beard while his other hand held his walking stick "it wasn't hard work" Zosia replied curtly lowering her head as Athena served everyone.

Athena frowned in a bid to fill up Zosia's bowl with more healthy food however Zosia wouldn't let her

"Sister in law" Leon waved as he walked over to Zosia's side holding a medium sized basket of fishes and sea foods. His brown skin had a hint of blush. Though only nineteen, he knew all too well his sister in law's skin was the fairest he had seen all his life, compared to the nobles who wore thick rogues to make their skin paler, her skin was naturally milky, healthy and beautiful. Even so she doesn't wear the extravagant flashy colors the women were known for instead she opted for simple colors which made her even more unique

"Are you so free?" Lebron eyed his son, the anger in his voice as clear as day making the children giggle "uncle's getting a scolding" Liam giggled even more earning him a glare from his father and a smack on the head from his older brother "keep shut" Lance warned his unruly younger brother

"I was only giving sister in law some sea food" Leon scratched his orange hair awkwardly before running off to avoid the rot of his father "you really are a good father" Winnie chuckled, holding her baby in her arms she glared at Leon hatefully before walking back into the house "Winnie" Leon rushed in to his wife making both Liam and Liliana giggle even more.

His family occupied the left wing while his older brothers family occupied the right wing directly facing his courtyard. Their father occupied the middle where he had his medicine office and lived

"Grandpa the egg custard is so delicious" Liliana puckered her lips savoring the taste of the food "you must remember your high sister's kindness, look how many delicious food you are eating at once. When you grow up you must take care of your big sister" Athena lectured her children and they all nodded "when we grow up we'll buy a lot of good food for sister" Liam grinned widely while licking his lips as he savored the moment

Hard bread was a staple but they didn't get to eat it everyday hence that could already been seen as luxury

Now having to eat porridge, pancakes and egg custard for breakfast. The children were more than elated and happy at the abundant meal

" you two shouldn't be strict on the children, you should allow them eat more so they can be robust and strong" Lebron scolded the couple with a stern face "father" Lester tries to argue, they had to save up especially for winter seasons which were even harder "each household has their own food, quit thinking about this old man and focus on your family first" Lebron snorted as he ate his meal "we won't skimp too much anymore father" Athena spoke up as she looked up at her husband yo silence him from saying too much "you should do that" Lebron nodded in approval

After breakfast Athena cleared the dishes, the children went out to play while Zosia went in to rest. Her body really hasn't recovered fully hence with the little exertion of energy she was already feeling weak all over

While resting she took her time to look up the Mors family on her optical brain. The outcome didn't fall far from her expectations, the Mors were indeed a large influential family in Alcardia, a planet which boosted of its advanced weaponry. Their main source of revenue were their Advanced weapons which were in high demands in other area planets due to the incessant wars and death

Alcardia though a small planet which couldn't be compared with other larger planets like Valtor, Thrakos, Lyraea and Xylonia which were that four largest and greatest planets in existence with Zosia originating from Thrakos

Overall Alcardia couldn't be underestimated as their influence over other planets were were great. Without good weapons how could wars be won? However being the manufacturer of such top tier weapons had it's pros and cons as other planet nations wanted the power the Alcardia held which was its weapons. Adding to the rampage of monstrous beasts the planet was in constant chaos

Lebron sighed, a grave expression graced his aged face as he stared into the vast skies "father" Lester called seeing his father so lost in thoughts "have your wife make some fish soup for the children! There's mixed grain rice, there's brown rice, there's millet in your cellar! Why skimp on food so much!" Lebron snapped his face contorted in anger as he glared hard at his son. If it wasn't for Zosia he'd know nothing

Here he was thinking the toxins in foods was the reason the children were so thin yet it was his sons negligence "father we have to save for tough times sake" Lester argued "tough times? If war breaks out now do you have a spacial pocket to store this things?" Lebron mocked "we'll eat better father" Lester sighed "here cook more eggs for the children and when you gather egg from the mountains, have the children eat them don't exchange them for money!" Lebron sighed as he fished out three large eggs from his small kitchen which he handed to Lester "father" Lester's jaws tightened "what? I'm an old man, what do I need this for? Look at Winnie though her attitude is not great look how chubby her kids are and your brother he's so rosy! Yet you're as dark as a ghost" Lebron eyes Lester and stormed off angrily before his stupid son could decline.
