Dragon Loves Me

Ronald saw the young man beside his father, he sensed a familiarity but it is long time he saw him. Their backs are facing Ronald so he didn't see their faces.

"Lora, stop dear. Why are you crying like this? Has something happened? Does your husband make things hard for you? Just tell me I will roast him alive" Henirch spoke as Simon was not present there.

Simon's mouth twitched but he felt a pang in his heart seeing his wife cry like a small baby, he knows she is very strong and his pillar of happiness but deep inside her she is also a daughter who missed her parents. Thinking about this he remembers Ivy who is left alone all this time. He had an impulse to go and look at their daughter.

But he had some duties and responsibilities as the host and head of the Dalton family. His eyes are fixed at the stairs for Ivy.

Allora calmed down after crying for sometime, all her burden and homesickness she felt from the last few years seems to be relieved.

She parted from the hug and looked down with embarrassment. She tried to wipe the tears with the back of her hand but a hand cloth appeared in front of her eyes. He looked at the hand cloth and knew whose it was and took it with a smile.

Simon smiled after seeing her taking it and her ears turned red with embarrassment. Alllora wiped her eyes, nose and face with the cloth and looked at her father who was looking at her gently.

"Father" Allora smiled.

"Finally, My daughter calmed down. I thought of getting angry at you for not meeting me for many years but seeing you like this.." Henirich sighed and patted her head lovingly.

"Mom," Elric's voice made her look at him and she wanted to dig a hole and hide in it.

'I seriously made a fool out of myself today' Allora slapped her forehead in her mind.

"Mom, have some water" Elric handed her the water. Allora smiled and took the water.

Ronald who is behind him recognized in an instant and jealous immediately flared up in his body 'What is this guy doing here? I want to protect mom from him?'

Ronald composed and cleared his throat to announce his presence "Greetings to the Grandfather.'

Everyone turned towards the voice and looked at Ronald, Henirich smiled "Aioo, Is it my grandson Ronald? See how tall you grow."

Ronald smiled and went near him "Grandfather, how is your journey? You must be tired from the long journey right now. Please have a seat"

"See, how sensible my grandson is,your father and Elric always thought of your mother. You are the only one who thought about me." Henirich complained.

Ronald didn't say anything and handed the water glass to him "Have some water grandfather. Paul will bring some refreshments"

Henirich took the glass happily "Good, Good"

Elric raised his brow and looked at Ronald who was busy pleasing his grandfather, he didn't even spare a glance at him. He smiled and went towards Allora who sat opposite to them and sat beside her.

"Mom, How have you been? I missed you badly" Elric pouted and complained.

He looks like a puppy abandoned and waiting to be patted. Allora who looked at elric and saw the sad look in his eyes felt bad.

"Sorry dear. I have not been able to come to meet you for the last few years?" Allora patted his cheek.

"It is my fault Elric. Don't blame your Mom. I got busy with work and she also needs to take care of her duties here" Simon stated while looking at Elric apologetically.

Elric smiled "Uncle, Mom. Don't blame yourself, I understand you. Well I just missed you both so I didn't stop myself from complaining. I am sorry"

Elric looked down feeling sad for spouting that nonsense. Allora patted his head and ruffled his hair.

"My baby has grown into such a fine man. Mom is very proud of you" Allora smiled.

"Really?" Elric eyes twinkled.

"Yes"

Elric couldn't contain his excitement and looked at Allora with stars in his eyes. He looked at Ronald who was sulking like a little child and the stars in his eyes made him go blind.

'Just wait. Let my sister come down.' Ronald sulked.

"Where's my granddaughter? I didn't see the sign of her?" Henirich inquired.

Mentioning Ivy made their smile freeze. They didn't go to her after the incident, It will be a big blow to him. Even though she carried her well but as her parents they are worried about her.

"Father, that.." before Allora replied shesaw ivy coming down.

Elric followed the sight of Allora and saw Ivy who was descending the stairs. She was wearing a simple white gown which had a shade of sky blue. Elric for a second thought that an angel is descending from the heavens.

"Mom, Dad," Ivy smiled.

Ivy came towards them and looked at the person who was sitting beside them, she just gave a slight nod. Elric came out of his trance and nodded subconsciously.

Ivy saw someone sitting opposite of them and turned to greet him but her voice died in her throat seeing the person in front of her.

Ivy's eyes widened and tears rolled down silently from her eyes before she managed to call him "Gra.. Grandpa"

Henirich startled by looking at Ivy and her shock. He never expected this heavy reaction from her, in his memories he met his granddaughter only a few times and he didn't recall after she grew up.

Seeing his granddaughter grown up into a fine lady made him feel proud and emotional. But seeing the look in her eyes made him feel more than emotional, he felt different kinds of emotions which he never felt before.

Ivy was shocked after seeing the person in front of her, his image is deep rooted in her mind.
